Follow our step-by-step guide to complete Ringfinger Leonhard's questline in Dark Souls III. Learn how to get the Lift Chamber Key, Red Eye Orb, and defeat Leonhard.

Ringfinger Leonhard is a knightly NPC you'll encounter in Firelink Shrine. He's tied to the Rosaria's Fingers covenant and has a questline that involves obtaining specific items and eventually invading his world.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First Encounter & Lift Chamber Key: After you've obtained your first Pale Tongue (by using a Pale Tongue item or by defeating a specific enemy), return to Firelink Shrine. Speak with Ringfinger Leonhard, and he will give you the Lift Chamber Key. This key is crucial for accessing a later area.
  2. 2
    Rosaria's Fingers & Gesture: After you've joined the Rosaria's Fingers covenant and offered a Pale Tongue to Rosaria, Mother of Rebirth, you can speak with Leonhard again. Exhaust all of his dialogue options at Rosaria's Bed Chamber. Doing so will reward you with the “Applause” gesture.
  3. 3
    The Black Eye Orb & Invasion: Progress through the game until you reach the Profaned Capital. Once you're there, return to Rosaria's Bed Chamber. You will find the Black Eye Orb on the floor. Now, make your way to the highest room in Anor Londo, which is located above the Aldrich, Devourer of Gods boss arena. Use the Black Eye Orb in this location to invade Leonhard's world.

Boss Fight: Ringfinger Leonhard

Stats / Weaknesses:

  • Leonhard wields the Crescent Moon Sword and uses various sorceries. He can be quite aggressive.
  • He is generally weak to Frostbite and Bleed.

Phases:

  1. Leonhard will initially fight you with his sword and sorceries. He has a few distinct attack patterns, including a lunging sword attack and a delayed projectile spell.
  2. After taking some damage, he might attempt to cast a powerful spell or use a weapon art. Be ready to dodge or block.

Strategy:

  • When you invade Leonhard, he will be in a room in Anor Londo. Be prepared for a fight as soon as you enter his world.
  • Keep your distance when he starts casting spells, and be ready to dodge his sword swings.
  • If you have weapons or spells that inflict Bleed or Frostbite, use them to your advantage as they can significantly shorten the fight.
  • Be patient and learn his attack patterns. Dodging is key to surviving his aggressive onslaught.

Drops:

  • Upon defeating Leonhard in his world, he will drop the following items:
  • 1,000 Souls
  • Lift Chamber Key (If you somehow didn't obtain it earlier)
  • Silver Mask
  • Soul of Rosaria (This is obtained from the Black Eye Orb after defeating him, and can be used to transpose into the Crescent Moon Sword)
