Lothric Castle

Before proceeding to Lothric Castle, return to Firelink Shrine to advance the following questlines:

  • Yuria. Exhaust her dialogue. You would now be able to summon her to help you fight the final boss, provided that you don't heal the Dark Sigil.
  • Patches. Purchase anything you require from him. In particular, purchase some Black Firebombs.
  • Greirat. Send him on his third, and final, pillage mission. Use the Coiled Sword Fragment to warp back to Firelink Shrine again and Greirat should have left the Shrine. Prior to sending Greirat on his pillage quest, ensure you have purchased anything you require from him. In particular, purchase all Twinkling Titanites from Greirat and some Firebombs.
  • Patches. Exhaust his dialogue. Choose the option "Tell him" in response to his question. Once Greirat left the Shrine, Patches won't sell you anything so be sure to purchase anything you require from Patches then send Greirat on his pillage quest. Use the Coiled Sword Fragment to warp back to Firelink Shrine and Patches should have left the Shrine. He would return after you have defeated the upcoming boss.
  • Eygon. If you haven't talked to Eygon already during his visit to the Shrine, exhaust his dialogue now. Then warp back to Firelink Shrine and he should have left the Shrine. He should now be able to co-op with you against the upcoming boss.

Warp to the Dancer of the Boreal Valley bonfire, climb up the ladder, and proceed straight ahead.

Stock up on the following items to prepare yourself for Lothric Castle:

  • Red Bug Pellet. Use this and the Flame Stoneplate Ring when you must traverse the fire breathed by the two Lothric Wyverns.
  • Rime-blue Moss Clump. This will come in handy when you fight an Outrider Knight.
  • Firebomb and Black Firebomb. Purchase Firebombs from Greirat and Black Firebombs from Patches. These will be used to fight the two Pus of Man, each protruding from the two Lothric Wyverns.
  • Charcoal Pine Resin/Bundle and Gold Pine Resin/Bundle. Note that you shouldn't use a fire weapon (or buff your weapon with fire) to destroy barrels. Some barrels contain explosives.

Ensure you grab these items:

  • Titanite Chunk x 12. Two are guaranteed after killing a Pus of Man protruding from a Lothric Wyvern.
  • Twinkling Titanite x 8. Two are from a Crystal Lizard on an elevated platform. Another two are from the Crystal Lizard down below. First, kill the top Lizard, followed by the bottom Lizard. Unlike other Crystal Lizards in the game, these two Lizards don't respawn even after you quit to menu and load your game again. Whatever you do, kill the top Lizard first. Then head for the Lizard down below and kill it as quickly as possible, even if it means a suicide run. Twinkling Titanites will be used to upgrade a weapon to be used against the upcoming boss.
  • Raw Gem. Use this to infuse another weapon as Raw if you want to experiment with other weapons.
  • Undead Bone Shard. This is located underneath the bridge near the two Lothric Wyverns.
  • Braille Divine Tome of Lothric. Give this item to Irina to advance her questline and purchase Tears of Denial from her. The miracle will help you throughout the remainder of the game.
  • Knight's Ring. While equipped, your Strength would be increased by 5 points. Together with the Carthus Milkring, the Knight's Ring can be used whenever you want to experiment with other weapons.

The area boss is Dragonslayer Armour. It's weak against frost so the Irithyll Straight Sword is effective against the boss. Upgrade the Irithyll Straight Sword to at least +3. Have at least 20 Firebombs and at least 5 Yellow Bug Pellets. Consume a Yellow Bug Pellet to boost your lightning defense. Use the Irithyll Straight Sword against the boss to trigger frostbite, then throw a Firebomb to remove the boss' frost bar. Rinse and repeat until the boss is defeated. Sirris and Eygon are available to be summoned to help you distract the boss.
