Who kills the firekeeper?

In Dark Souls, Knight Lautrec of Carim kills the Fire Keeper at Firelink Shrine (Anastasia of Astora) after both Bells of Awakening are rung, stealing her soul for power, driven by his devotion to the goddess Fina and obsession with humanity. He is the primary killer, though players can prevent or avenge the act by killing Lautrec themselves or invading his world after the fact to defeat him.

Why did Lautrec kill Firekeeper?

Lautrec kills Anastacia of Astora, the Firelink Shrine Firekeeper, primarily to steal her soul for its immense Humanity, which he needs to sustain his own life (preventing hollowing) and possibly offer to his goddess, Fina, while fulfilling a twisted mission related to his devotion and desire for power. He sees Firekeepers as vessels of humanity and sees her death as a means to an end, possibly related to his imprisonment and eventual return to Anor Londo.

Should you kill Lautrec right away?

Yes, killing Lautrec early in Dark Souls is often recommended for keeping the Firelink Shrine bonfire active, granting the powerful Ring of Favor and Protection (FAP Ring) immediately, and avoiding a difficult later fight, though you miss his armor sets and storyline rewards. If you spare him, he eventually kills the Firekeeper, disabling the bonfire until you invade his world in Anor Londo to defeat him and his phantoms for his gear and a Fire Keeper Soul, which is a challenging but rewarding quest.

What is the true ending of Dark Souls 3?

There's no single "true" ending, but the Usurpation of Fire (Lord of Hollows) ending is widely considered the most definitive and thematically fitting conclusion, as it breaks the endless cycle of linking the flame, allowing humanity to usher in a natural Age of Dark and rule itself, ending the undead curse. This secret ending requires completing specific quests with NPCs like Anri of Astora, embracing the Dark Sigils, and ultimately seizing the flame to become the Lord of Hollows, offering a final, deliberate end to the series' core conflict.

What happens if you give the Fire Keeper her soul?

Giving a Fire Keeper Soul in Dark Souls 3 allows the Fire Keeper to heal your Dark Sigils, removing the hollowing effect and appearance, but it's crucial for specific endings, especially if you're pursuing the "Usurpation of Fire" (Lord of Hollows) ending, as giving it too early can lock you out of that path. In Dark Souls 1, giving it to a Fire Keeper reinforces your Estus Flask, making it heal more per charge.
