How to unlock the Rite of Kindling achievement in DARK SOULS: REMASTERED - Definitive Guide
It's possible to make a few strategic drops to reach the bottom of the catacombs without having to fight your way through the entire area.
First drop
Second drop (to Paladin Leeroy's summon sign
Be careful as skeletons will continue to come back to life after you kill them.
From here, drop to a small ledge to the right and Leeroy should drop down and kill any nearby enemies. Then make your way to the cave to the right to reach the fog door that leads to the Pinwheel encounter.
If you don't rest at any bonfires in the catacombs, you can use a Homeward Bone after killing Pinwheel to get directly back to Firelink Shrine. It's very advantageous to do this early so you can kindle bonfires up to 20.
The Pinwheel encounter is one of the easiest in the game. Pinwheel will summon clones of himself and occasionally teleport around the arena and shoot fireballs at you.
The Rite of Kindling allows you to kindle bonfires up to two additional times, which will allow your Estus Flask to hold up to 20 uses. This is a great benefit early on.
As always, refer to http://darksouls.wikidot.com for specific information relating to items or locations.
Nearby the Firelink Shrine you should probably have spotted some skeleton enemies and a small graveyard. To the left of this graveyard, near the cliff, there is a ramp that leads to (in my opinion) one of the most annoying areas of the game: the Catacombs and, going further, the Tomb of the Giants.
To acquire the Rite of Kindling you'll have to beat the boss Pinwheel that is located at the end of the Catacombs and guard the entrance to the Tomb of the Giants. Although the Catacombs area may be hard for low-level players, it is worth it to push your way through at least until you beat Pinwheel and get this trophy because with it you'll be granted the power to kindle your bonfire flames even further, allowing you to get up to 20 Estus Flasks from any bonfire you do it with. However I highly recommend you turn back and leave the area once you have beaten him and leave the Tomb of the Giants area for later on.
