Kiln of the First Flame

Lore

Noble Lords of Cinder.
The fire fades…
…and the lords go without thrones.
Surrender your fires…
…to the true heir.
Let him grant death…
To the gods of Lordran, deliverers of the First Flame.

— The Fire Keeper after the Lords have met their thrones

Since Lord Gwyn, the first Lord of Cinder, many exalted lords have linked the First Flame, and it is their very souls that have manifested themselves as defender of the flame.

— Description of the Soul of the Lords

The First Flame quickly fades.
Darkness will shortly settle.
But one day, tiny flames will dance across the darkness.
Like embers, linked by lords past.

Ashen One, hearest thou my voice, still?

General Information

The first flame has manifested itself a guardian, a Soul of Cinder. If defeated, you can choose to link the flame, refuse to or usurp it entirely.

A bonfire here will grant access to The Dreg Heap if you have The Ringed City DLC.

Treasure

None.

Walkthrough

To enter the Flameless Shrine, you need to collect all four of the Lord of Cinder ashes, which means defeating:

Once you have placed their ashes on their respective thrones, Ludleth the Exiled will sacrifice himself and reveal the Flameless Shrine to you.

In the Flameless Shrine, proceed outside and use the bonfire to proceed to the Kiln of the First Flame. From here you can enter the boss fog to fight the Soul of Cinder.

Notes

  • As was the case in the first Dark Souls, the Kiln of the First Flame remains upon a burnt archtree.
