Dark Souls III: How to Complete Anri’s Questline

Anri of Astora is a unique character in Dark Souls III whose gender changes depending on the gender of your own character. You’ll first encounter her and Horace at the bonfire near the Road of Sacrifices. Talk to the both of them and exhaust their dialogue, and then proceed to the Cathedral of the Deep and defeat the boss there. After doing so, the pair will show up at Firelink Shrine. Exhaust their dialogue again, and you’ll find Anri in the Catacombs of Carthus next.

In the first area of the Catacombs, before heading down the long flight of steps with the large skeleton ball, head down the steps to the lower area to find Anri. She’ll be looking for Horace. You can find her again in the Catacombs on the ledge next to the rope bridge. To find Horace, simply cut the rope bridge to create a ladder that leads you further down into the Catacombs. You’ll find the Smouldering Lake optional area. From the entrance, hug the right wall until you find an opening. Horace will be here as a hostile NPC. You can either kill him, or go back to tell Anri where he is. If you tell her, she will go down and be killed by Horace, bringing an end to her questline.

To continue her story, kill Horace, and then return to Anri and don’t tell her anything about him. She will then continue on her journey. You’ll find her next to the church bonfire in Irithyll, where she’ll give you the Ring of the Evil Eye. If you wish to unlock the Usurpation ending, just exhaust her dialogue and continue the story naturally. If you’ve leveled up five times with Yoel of Londor and had Yuria show up at Firelink Shrine, you’ll be able to marry Anri at Darkmoon Tomb after defeating Pontiff Sulyvahn.

Alternatively, after receiving the Ring from Anri, strike the statues in the bonfire room before leaving. One of them is an assassin that will kill Anri. After killing the assassin, you can loot the Chameleon spell of his body. You will encounter Anri again before the Aldrich fight. Right outside of the boss arena, look for a summon sign on the ground that will summon you into her world where you have to help her kill Aldrich.

After killing the boss together, talk to Ludleth at Firelink Shrine to receive Anri’s sword. You can then go back to the Smouldering Lake where you killed Horace to find a now hostile Anri, presumably gone Hollow from the Darksign.
