Fire Keepers

Anastacia of Astora

A mute woman from a village in Astora, her tongue has been removed so that she can't say any god's name in vain. Anastacia is Firelink Shrine's Fire Keeper, bound to the bonfire to keep it lit.

Location


Use


"The Murderer" Quest Line


Knight Lautrec of Carim murders Anastacia when either one of the following occurs regardless if the player freed him or not:

If you check Anastacia’s cell, you find her dead body, her clothes, and the Black Eye Orb. The Firelink Shrine bonfire no longer functions.

The Black Eye Orb can be used in Anor Londo, in the large hall right outside of the Ornstein and Smough boss room. You have a message pop up that says the Black Eye Orb is reacting to something and should now be usable in that area. Use the Black Eye Orb to invade Lautrec’s world.

After you win, you receive her Fire Keeper Soul. You may use it like any other Fire Keeper Soul, but uniquely, if you go back to her cell in Firelink Shrine, you can revive Anastacia.

Quelaag's Sister

Description


Called "The Fair Lady" by her attendant Eingyi, she is nameless, but players have given her the name Quelaan. She is the saint of the Chaos Servant covenant. Blind, weak, and on the verge of death after swallowing the blight pus of the residents of Blighttown, she is completely immobile and was made the Fire Keeper of the nearby bonfire to keep her alive. Her speech seems incoherent at first (just '…?'), but with the Old Witch's Ring equipped, you may converse with her normally. She mistakes you for her sister, Chaos Witch Quelaag, as she is blind and confused, and Quelaag was the only one who visited (and could talk) to her.

This unnamed Daughter of Chaos once lived with her mother - the Witch of Izalith - and her siblings in the ancient city of Izalith. After the Flame of Chaos incident, her mother and many of her sisters were transformed into nefarious demons. She and her sister Quelaag escaped the worst of it; their lower torsos were mutated into giant arachnoid abdomens by the flames, but their upper bodies and their minds were seemingly unfazed. Fleeing their deranged, demonic kin, they climbed upward to the base of Blighttown and fashioned themselves a home. The precise details of what came next are only suggested at and implied by Eingyi. The Daughters of Chaos brought afflicted denizens of Blighttown with them as servants. Quelaag was unmoved by their suffering, but the Fair Lady wept for them. Overwhelmed by empathy, she did the only thing she could to help: she swallowed their blight pus, despite orders against such action from Quelaag. This cured the undead, but left the Fair Lady in her current state - perpetually near death, surrounded by eggs that will never bring life, and now, due to the actions of the player, completely and utterly alone.

Location


Quelaag's Domain
Behind the illusory wall below the second Bell of Awakening. Using Seek Guidance will make a developer message appear pointing to the illusory wall.
