Playthrough Checklist

I recently completed Dark Souls Remastered 100% by earning the "the dark soul" achievement. Since I found it very hard to find a complete guide online, I took it upon myself to create one. A few things right off the bat though:
  1. I will not be including the location of all the titanite chunks (colored as well as regular) needed. However, they can easily be farmed from the Black knights in the Kiln of the first flame.
  2. I suggest you get all of the spells in new game + since you'll have far more souls than you'll have in new game.
  3. In total you'll require 216 titanite shards, 163 large titanite shards, 27 titanite chunks, 3 titanite slabs, 17 of every colored titanite chunk, 2 of every colored titanite slab as well as 31 green titanite shards. Look at this page to learn all about titanite farming as well as all of the locations of the slabs you'll need.
  4. You'll have to play through the game 2 1/2 times to get all the boss souls required for all of the boss weapons. I will add a chart to what weapons you need for ascencion to boss weapons at the end of the guide.
  5. For the sake of this guide I'll assume that your weapons are upgraded as well as they possibly can be from the point you meet Andre on. I will also assume that you have enough souls to purchase all of the items required to get all of the achievements.
Without further ado, let's get into the guide!

Cemetery of Ash

New Game

  • Wake up in the Undead Asylum, get your starting equipment and your estus flask from Oscar of Astora. Wether you kill him or not is up to you, but if you do I want you to know that you're a monster.
  • Whoop the Asylum Demon's ass.
  • Arrive in Lordran and enter the Way of White through Petrus of Thorolund. Buy all of his Miracles. (Heal, Great Heal Exerpt, Homeward, Force)
  • Make your way through the Undead Burg and beat the Taurus Demon, but not before purchasing the Residence Key from the Undead Merchant (male).
  • Trigger the Drake on the Bridge and shoot it's Tail off with a Bow to get the Drake Sword.
  • You can try to get to the Sunlight Altar now if you want, but I'd recommend attempting it later when you have a bit more hp. This can easily be done by staying near him but out of his line of sight for a while. He'll fly onto the bridge and stay there for a few seconds if you're lucky. This is when you make a dash towards the Sunlight Altar.
  • If possible, enter the Warrior of Sunlight covenant to receive the Lightning Spear miracle. To enter the Covenant, 25 faith are required. Alternatively, the entry bar is lowered by 5 levels of faith for every boss that you help defeat in co-op.
  • Make your way through the Undead Burg and meet Andre. Make sure to grab the Mystery Key. Alsp grab the basement key on the steps in front of the church.
  • Free Lautrec.
  • Beat the Bell Gargoyles while making sure to cut off the Tail off the first one that spawns to receive the Gargoyle Tail Axe. If you just can't do it, don't worry, you'll get a third and fourth chance later on.
  • Ring the Bell of Awakening. After that, purchase Karmic Justice from Oswald of Carim.
  • Speak to Lautrec to receive a Sunlight Medal. He'll kill the firekeeper after a while, but don't worry about it, you can revive her later. Just make sure to grab the Black eye orb you get from her corpse. Killing him at Firelink Shrine won't have any bad impact on the run and prevent him from Killing Anastasia (The Firekeeper). The only things you gain from not killing him is Anastasia's Armor set and a Souvenir of Reprisal. Anastasia will also regain the ability to speak after returning her soul to her.
  • Revisit the Undead Asylum. Kill Oscar of Astora to get the Crest Shield.
  • Get the Peculiar Doll (this item is required to enter the painted world) and kill the Stray Demon. He'll drop a Titanite Slab for you. You can do this at any point in the playthrough after leaving the Undead Asylum, don't worry if you're not strong enough yet.
  • Leave the Undead Burg and enter the Darkroot Garden. From there, go to the bonfire next to the door that can be opened with the crest of artorias. Kill the Moonlight Butterfly to get it's soul. This can also be done later in the game when you head there to kill pet sif.
  • Farm the Stone Knights to get the Stone Greatsword and the Stone Greatshield.
  • Head back to the bridge with the Hellkite drake and use the Basement key to enter the lower Undead Burg. There you can free Griggs of Vinheim.
  • Kill the Kapra Demon.
  • Purchase all of Griggs' Sorceries at Firelink Shrine. (Soul Arrow, Great Soul Arrow, Heavy Soul Arrow, Great Heavy Soul Arrow, Aural Decoy, Fall Control) Your intelligent must be at least 10 for him to teach you sorceries.
  • Enter the Depths and get the Large Ember.

  • Fetch the Pyromancy Power Within from under a gross Leech-thing stuck to a wall.
  • Kill Chaos Witch Queelag to receive her Soul and ring the second Bell of Awakening.
  • Meet the Fair Lady and Eingyi (the egg carrier accompanying her). Make sure to say YES when he asks you wether you're a new servant.
  • Get yourself infected with an egg by one of the egg carriers in izalith. Wait until the Egg replaces your head, then buy all of Eingyi's Pyromancies. (Toxic Mist, Poison Mist) He'll sell the item you need to remove the egg.
  • Offer 30 humanity to the Fair Lady after joining the chaos servants covenant to receive the Pyromancies Great Chaos Fireball and Chaos Storm.
  • On your journey back up, grab the Remedy Sorcery, which is near the exit of Blighttown.
  • Return to the surface and enter the Valley of Drakes. Fetch Astora's Straight Sword and the Dragon Crest Shield from under the Undead Dragon's nose.
  • Open the shortcut that connects Firelink Shrine and the ruins of New Londo.

  • Kill the Iron Golem to receive his Soul and make your way to Anor Londo.
  • Perform a balance act in Anor Londo. Cut the chain of the chandelier while you're up there.
  • Enter the painted world of Ariamis after Grabbing the Black Iron Set and the Black Iron Greatshield.
  • Make your way through the painted world. You should farm at least eight Souvenirs of Reprisal by killing the Crow Demons.

Help Siegmeyer with his little problem in the process. In addition, you can fetch three Sunlight Medals from a chest.
  • Discover Havel's secret chamber to grab the Dragon Tooth and Havel's Greatshield from the chests down there.
  • Kill Ornstein and Smough. But watch out: You'll only receive the Souls of whoever you kill second. Make 100% sure to kill the other one next time around. To gain more control over who dies first, try not summoning anyone for the fight.

  • Farm the Bat Wing Demons long enough to earn yourself the Demon's Spear.
  • Drop out of the Window above the main entrance of Anor Londo to get to the Dragonslayer Greatbow.
  • Use the Black Eye Orb to invade the world of Knight Lautrec and kill him to get a new Souvenir of Reprisal and the Firekeeper's soul back.
  • Receive the Lordvessel and enter the Princess' Guard, but shoot Gwynevere after you've done that. Do NOT talk to Kingseeker Frampt anymore after receiving the Lordvessel.
  • Challenge Gwyndolin to get his Soul and the miracle Sunlight Blade that lies within a chest at the end of the Darkmoon Tomb.
  • Purchase the Crest of Artorias from Andre and open the gate to the Forest Hunter area. Run past all of the Npc fighters and enter the Forest Hunter Covenant by talking to the Alvina the white cat.
  • Pet Great Greywolf Sif to get her Soul. Sif's souls is the only soul you'll need three times, she is the only reason you'll be required to play halfway through new game +2.

  • Put on the Covenant of Artorias and Kill the Four Kings. Grab the Very Large Ember along the Way.

  • Meet Siegmeyer at Firelink Shrine after you've helped him in Anor Londo. Upon meeting him, he will ask wether you were the one who helped him in Sen's Fortress as well. Say YES to receive the Emit Force Miracle.
  • Teleport to the Daughter of Chaos Bonfire and head to the Blighttown swamp. If your Pyromancy flame is +10 already, you'll find a new Npc, Quelana of Izalith.

  • Proceed to explore Ash Lake and find Great Magic Barrier within another tree.
  • Find the last Everlasting Dragon at the end of Ash Lake, enter the path of the dragon covenant and cut off his tail to get the Dragon Greatsword. Don't worry, he won't mind.
  • Teleport back to Izalith and shove the Ceaseless discharge gently to his death.
  • Run past the Capra Demons and fight the Demon Firesage. (it should be mentioned at this point that the Demon Firesage as well as the Centipide Demon technically aren't mandatory. They can be skipped by Becoming a +2 member of the servants of Chaos and activating the shortcut associated with that covenant.)
  • Kill the Centipide Demon and make your way through Lost Izalith. Quelana will now ask you to kill her mother ( the Bed of Chaos).
  • Either kill Solaire or save him by using the shortcut I previously mentioned before the centipide demon. Pick up the Sunlight maggot.

FAQ

The foundation of this guide was based on Stephen McNabb's Dark Soul 2 Cheat Sheet source code and DeathGodGarra's NPC Side Quests Guide V2 walkthrough guide

This guide has evolved thanks to the many GitHub contributors with many great suggestions, fixes and improvements!

I have feedback, how can I contribute?

You can visit the GitHub repository and report Issues or create a fork and submit a Pull Request.

Is this a guide?

Nope, not really. This is a set of checklists and information that you can use while playing Dark Souls to make sure you don't miss an item, action, conversation, or boss. If you need playthroughs then you can click on the zone titles to read the wiki walkthrough.

Do I need to follow the playthrough in this exact order?

Dark Souls 3 is not a linear game and has multiple ways of progressing. This guide highlights zones as they become available, so feel free to follow however you please. You can always check things off in a different order.

Can I use this for multiple characters?

Yup, use the profile selector and buttons in the options tab at the top of the page to setup multiple profiles.

How does the checklist status get saved?
