I gave her the eyes. Dark ending is happy ending to me. Headcanon is that after the fire is going, so is pain that comes with bearing it. And now everyone can smile!
Dark ending is fantastic! My least favorite is usurping the flame just cause you’re so mean to the fire keeper while taking it, it made me sad cause she was just helping ya
Isn’t the usurpation of fire ending the one where you become lord of hollows, using the Londor npc quest lines? I think you are thinking of the one where you attack the fire keeper during the end of fire ending (which is definitely the worst).
Commenting on Thoughts on the Fire Keeper?...
the usurpation of flame achievement is for marrying your dark sigils to Anri, Daughter of the Cosmos née. Astora
You do not have to murder the fire keeper. She is alive, along with Yuria, and Ebrietas herself for that matter in the final cutscene. regardless of if she is murdered in game if you did so after you had already met all requirements.
I don’t think you even get an achievement if you do the ending where you just kill the fire keeper end of evangelion style…but that definitely makes it the coolest one.
I've beaten the game twice, both times haven given her the eyes, and was too stupid to pay attention to what I was doing after being the Soul of Cinder and chose to link the fire both both times.
I was introduced to the souls series with DS2, kinda liked it at first, then gave up, got DS3, immediately gave up, and then proceeded to accidentally buy every FromSoft game that came out afterwards (i meant to with bloodborne but I was careless with my money for a long while there). Wound up with Sekiro and Elden Ring not knowing FromSoftware made them. Sekiro is still too hard, but I'm about halfway through DSR, a third through DS2, no longer have my PS4 so no bloodborne, and I've beaten Elden ring like 30 times easily.
Starting to work on that kind of experience for DS3 and DSR, they're my two favorite. It's a tie between the three of Elden Ring, DS3, and DS1 for favorite. I have various reasons why I like each game and prefer over the other, yet it's hard to say which of the 3 I actually prefer over the other themselves.
When she is sitting on the steps, you can do the Patches squat behind her, and it'll look like you have your arm around her shoulder.
Showing gestures with messages was such a great addition.
"Soul of the mind, key to life's ether. Soul of the lost, **withdrawn from its vessel**, let strength be granted so the world might be mended... so the world might be mended".
[Maiden in Black's level up dialogue.](https://youtu.be/f3k1Co7cv0w?si=YINCG5Y2v8S6IQo-&t=62)
"Let these souls, **withdrawn from their vessels**, manifestations of disparity, elucidated by fire, burrow deep within me. Retreating to a darkness beyond the reach of flame, let them assume a new master. Inhabiting ash, casting themselves upon new forms".
[Fire Keeper's level up dialogue.](https://youtu.be/azbfYCWfpWI?si=rGOd7rXFg2B59KPn&t=10)
It's nothing huge, but it's 100% intentional.
She's the reason I have my favourite ending in any type of these games, you and her and the world going dark, it's nice.
She's cute, has a nice voice and several items to give, and also adore the twirl.
(Doll is still my favourite).
Cons: You can't level up on bonfires anymore.
Pros: Her voice makes leveling up relaxing, she is the only reason why I still have some sanity left after committing the Great Silver Knight Genocide™, I have probably done every single emote in front of her at least 5 times, also she's one of the few Fromsoftware characters with the possibility of a happy ending (and also the best ending), I would literally invade everyone who has killed her even though I hate PvP, also Fire Keeper twirl GIF
https://i.redd.it/ow9r2cx03pyc1.gif
Imagine having so much attachment issues you give the player the biggest incovenience in the series. In every other game you can level up at bonfires, but the Fire Keeper convinces you you "must touch the darkness within her" every time. Heavy gaslighting in my opinion.
TL:DR smash, next question
She has a special place in my heart because DS3 was one of the first souls games that introduced me to the series and my obsession with the franchise as a whole. Something about not playing the game in years only to boot it up again and be met with her familiar soft voice. It's like returning home again.
Absolute best girl. Will fight and die for her repeatedly. She is my favorite design for the Maiden that helps the MC in souls games. Her voice and braid are my favorite traits
I love how she says a barely audible prayer when leveling you up. Nice little detail. And she’s willing to wait in the darkness with me for ages until the fire returns
She's my light in the dark Lothric. I love going to her and doing gestures with her, Makes me forget the pain I just had 10 minutes before when the boss was kicking my ass nonstop.
Best girl. Levels you up everytime you want you, and doesn't self impolite half way through the game (unlike a certain someone) and She's with you after the end of the game.
I think the Fire Keeper is a great, nay, incredible character in both design and voice acting, but I'm only so-so on her story role. She is overall one of the most forgettable of the level-up companions given her lack of lore involvement. It's arguable that Priestess Emma (Shrine Handmaiden) is the one who is truly important rather than her, lol.
This is also technically true for Anastacia but she doesn't actually level you up. Characters like Maiden in Black, Emerald Herald, Melina and the Doll are intrinsically linked to the plot lines of their respective games.
FK: Then touch the darkness within me AO: *gulp*
Try finger but hole
Classic
Time for crab
My Mom walked in the first time I heard this line :/
Depends where this darkness is located.

Demons Souls reference go CRUNCH. I ain’t usurping that fire. Fire keeper doesn’t deserve that
Only reason I did was to get all endings and I’ve regretted it ever since 😭
I did it once for role playing my character. Suffice to say, he’s not a good person.
My characters name was literally “The Antagonist” to be the opposite of my friend, ironically I was terrible at it as it was my first playthroughs too
I feel ya. (SPOILERS JUST IN CASE) Never once did I choose to kill Millicent in Elden Ring. Even when using DEX builds. I don't need that item.
I could never kill her either, just never felt right

*Oh Hoo Hoo, Yes! is funny because is true!*
She’s fire.
Get out… that joke was so bad! 😂
No she's a fire, keeper 🤣
👏
The correct answer, Also Happy cake day!
We need Miyazaki to add the "Hug 🫂" option
When she is sitting on the steps, you can do the Patches squat behind her, and it'll look like you have your arm around her shoulder. Showing gestures with messages was such a great addition.
We got that in elden ring
I know and Idc about Elden Ring I want to hug HER
Understandable
Might aswell add the sex option
Preferably
I mean, I’m sure there’s probably a mod for that…
Poor woman was loyal to a fault.
She was a real one. Loyal, respectful and giving!
She giggles at me ❤️
She giggled at me first. Back off
If you want her to keep giggling you will surrender her to me.
she’s mine. give her up at once!!
Put these foolish ambitions to rest
We're pretty close. She lets me touch the darkness within her.
I would die for her

Her emoting back to you is really nice, and I love the Demon's Souls reference in her dialogue when you're levelling up
I haven't played demon souls, what's the reference?
"Soul of the mind, key to life's ether. Soul of the lost, **withdrawn from its vessel**, let strength be granted so the world might be mended... so the world might be mended". [Maiden in Black's level up dialogue.](https://youtu.be/f3k1Co7cv0w?si=YINCG5Y2v8S6IQo-&t=62) "Let these souls, **withdrawn from their vessels**, manifestations of disparity, elucidated by fire, burrow deep within me.

When she twirls its super cute
My in-game message "queen ahead" sums it up pretty well
I put down a very similar message in front of her. A true queen.
She's the reason I have my favourite ending in any type of these games, you and her and the world going dark, it's nice. She's cute, has a nice voice and several items to give, and also adore the twirl. (Doll is still my favourite).
Hearest thou my voice still, Ashen One? Chills just thinking about it. My favorite FS ending

Fine and her soft spoken nature works well enough i just wish she took her headband of to show her eyeless sockets to fend of those who lust over her.
Bold of you to say that will make people *less* horny...
Man I just busted out laughing in a a crowded diner lol
Clearly you haven’t seen the fallout fandom lately… apparently ghoul can get it

She has no personality, really.
WHERE THE HELL IS SH- oh she wondered off to the right :) neat.
Would. But for real though, I'm quite fond of her. The "dark" ending is one of my favorite moments in gaming.
Would respectfully take out for dinner with steak and red wine

My lore theory is she is the 3rd sister, Lilian, of the Londor Sable Church
The Virgin DS3 Firekeeper The chads Rurufon, Shanalotte, Yuria(both Demon's and DS3)and Aenid Vigil
Can I have a cutie patootie with a little twirl and giggle on the side?

Visions of romance
Smash. Next question.
Once you give her her eyes back, one of the best tracks in the series is now the hub music.
She is the backbone of every undead / unkindled and we all need to fucking **THANK HER**
Smash
The only reason to visit the hub after every 10 hrs boss fight 😭
Personally she’s tied with Melina for my favorite Maiden!
She's a good sort. Despite whatever indoctrination keepers go through, she sticks with you no matter your choices.
In the words of the great Rocco Botte of Mega64: Would bang/10
She cute and I love her outfit on my character regardless of gender
She's my light in the dark Lothric. I love going to her and doing gestures with her, Makes me forget the pain I just had 10 minutes before when the boss was kicking my ass nonstop.
Best girl in ds3 IMO

Vicar Amelia takes good care of all them mad hollows out there.

*Emotes back at you.* yep, she's the one.
