Learn how to complete Irina of Carim's questline in Dark Souls III. Discover her fate based on the miracles you purchase and how to ensure she becomes a Fire Keeper.

Alright, let's talk about Irina of Carim. Her questline is a bit of a branching path, and what you do with her depends heavily on the kind of miracles you show her. It's pretty straightforward, but you'll want to pay attention to which tomes you give her.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The Crossroads: Early on, you'll meet Irina. You can purchase miracles from her. Be careful what you teach her!
  2. 2
    The Dark Path: If you purchase ANY Dark Miracles from Irina (like those from the Londor Braille Divine Tome or the Deep Braille Divine Tome), things take a turn. She'll become disillusioned and Eygon of Carim, her protector, will get spooked and kidnap her. You'll find him near the boss bonfire in the Cathedral of the Deep. Defeating Eygon will send Irina back to Firelink Shrine, but she won't speak to you unless you're wearing Morne's Gauntlets. This is a key point – if you want her to acknowledge you after this, you need those gauntlets equipped.
  3. 3
    The Light Path: On the other hand, if you ONLY purchase Light Miracles from Irina, and avoid any Dark Miracles, she'll have a much brighter future. She'll eventually move to the tower behind Firelink Shrine and become a Fire Keeper herself, offering to level you up just like the regular Fire Keeper.
  4. 4
    Tome Implications: Regardless of which path you choose, if you gave her the Londor Braille Divine Tome or the Deep Braille Divine Tome, she'll drop them at her new location if she becomes a Fire Keeper. This means you can still get these tomes even if you steer her towards the light.
Tips
  • Keep an eye on the type of miracles you're buying. The distinction between Light and Dark is crucial for Irina's quest.
  • If you accidentally buy a Dark Miracle and Eygon kidnaps her, don't despair. You can still get her back to Firelink Shrine, and with the right gear (Morne's Gauntlets), you can even restore your relationship.
  • If your goal is to have her become a Fire Keeper, make absolutely sure you don't purchase any Dark Miracles. Stick to the miracles from the Cleric's or Priestess's Chimes.
  • If Eygon kidnaps her and you defeat him, you'll receive 1,000 Souls and the Tower Key, along with Irina's Ashes.
  • If she becomes a Fire Keeper, she'll offer her services for leveling up.
