Soul of Champion Gundyr: Once, a champion came late to the festivities, and was greeted by a shrine without fire, and a bell that would not toll. He then became sheath to a coiled sword in the hopes that someday, the first flame would be linked once more. Gundyr’s Armor: Gundyr, or the Belated Champion, was bested by an unknown warrior.
The description of Champion Gundyr’s armor and Soul seem to indicate this as the case:
Here we meet another version of Gundyr, who has the prefix “Champion” rather than “Iudex,” seemingly implying that he was summoned in this timeline as the Ashen One but arrived far too late, long after the First Flame has faded. Though if the Firelink Shrine found within the Untended Graves is anything to go by, heading down this path seems just as dire as relinking the First Flame. Giving the eyes to the Firekeeper and summoning her after slaying the Soul of Cinder will prompt The End of Fire ending. However, you must have visited the Untended Graves version of the Firelink Shrine to obtain the Eyes of the Firekeeper. Rather than relinking the First Flame as is expected of the Ashen One, you can choose to let it fade after fighting all the way to the Kiln of the First Flame.
So, perhaps looking into the other methods may be best for the world at large? The End of Fire Unlike the previous entries, looking around the Kiln of the First Flame and the general state of the outside world may indicate that this is the worst possible outcome and decision you could make. Here, you will battle the Soul of Cinder, which is the manifestation of every Lord of Cinder who pledged their life to rekindle the Flame.Īfter defeating the Soul of Cinder, you will sacrifice yourself to the First Flame to prolong the Age of Fire. After slaying Aldrich, the Abyss Watchers, Yhorm the Giant, and Prince Lothric and his elder brother Prince Lorian, you place their ashes back on their thrones, gaining access to the Kiln of the First Flame. The first ending in Dark Souls 3 follows the “intended” path of the Ashen One, who is the last possible hope of relinking the First Flame and saving the Kingdom of Lothric. Nameless, accursed undead, unfit even to be cinder. Only, in truth… The Lords will abandon their thrones. And the reclusive lord of the Profaned Capital, Yhorm the Giant. Farron’s Undead Legion, The Abyss Watchers. “The fire fades, and the lords go without thrones.” When the link of fire is threatened, the bell tolls, unearthing the old Lords of Cinder from their graves. In venturing north, the pilgrims discover the truth of the old words. It is called Lothric, where the transitory lands of the Lords of Cinder converge. They are known as the Lords of Cinder and pledge to relink the First Flame before it fades, ensuring the Age of Fire never dies. To Link the First FlameĪs we learn pretty early on in Dark Souls 3, many generations have passed since the events of Dark Souls 1 and 2 and saw many people step up and sacrifice themselves to the First Flame to keep the Age of Fire alive. Others require a much more complicated answer, which is always expected with Dark Souls.
