We’ll cover both methods for getting Greirat’s Ashes, all step-by-step.
Method 1: Killing Greirat
The fastest way to get Greirat’s Ashes is by killing him towards the beginning of the game. If you use this method, you won’t miss out on much unless you’re an NPC quest completionist.
Freeing Greirat
To free Greirat from his cell in the High Wall of Lothric, you’ll first have to find a Cell Key that’s found elsewhere on the High Wall.
To start the Warped Tower of the Wall Bonfire, warp to it using the Bonfire Ascetic. ..
From the bonfire, walk down the steps and into the dark building below. Roll off of the broken floorboards to the floor below, then step outside onto the ramparts. ..
Jump onto the ledge in front of you and sprint across the rooftop to avoid the horde of enemies. Jump onto the rooftop near the ladder for a safe landing to a balcony below.
Next, head inside and follow this path down, taking out or running past the large Knight.
Once you’re through the door behind the Knight, follow this wooden pathway down until you reach its end and momentarily step outside. ..
The Cell Key can be found in a large room packed with enemies. It’s in this room that the Cell Phone can be found.
You have two options: try to take out the enemies one by one, or make a mad dash for the Key. ..
The Key can be found in the back left corner of the room, at the bottom of a set of steps.
To free Greirat from his imprisonment, you first need to return to the Tower on the Wall Bonfire and regain your healing. ..
You roll off of the broken floorboards and head back downstairs into the dark building. You can see the Bonfire in the distance, and you know that it’s time to go.
Jump through the hole in the floor and roll through to the other side.
You’ll find the enemy on this new floor, and head through the stone archway to avoid them.
In the next corridor, there is an enemy lying in ambush. Be sure to take it out or it will follow you and attempt to kill you as you speak to Greirat. ..
At the end of this corridor, take out the Assassin to the left, then turn right and head down the stairs to find Greirat in a cell in the tower. ..
To unlock the door and speak to Greirat, you will need to use the Cell Key. Killing him now will not affect your ability to obtain the Ashes, but they will not unlock Lightning Urns if you do so early. ..
“Instead of talking to him, agree with his request and disappear.”
After reaching the Firelink Shrine, head down the tunnel straight ahead. Once you reach the stone walkway in front of Andre, roll off of the left side to find Greirat.
Delivering Loretta’s Bone
To unlock Lightning Urns, you’ll first have to complete the first two steps of Greirat’s questline.
- You will need to find Loretta’s Bone and deliver it to him. ..
The Undead Settlement Bonfire is located in the bonfire area of the settlement.
Walk forward from the Bonfire and into the dark building ahead. Walk down the steps to reach the basement floor, then walk out onto the balcony at the back of the building. ..
This is a hanging corpse that’s holding a glowing item. If you hit it with any weapon, it’ll fall to the ground.
Jump down onto the ground and pick up Loretta’s Bone from the corpse. Warp back to Firelink Shrine and give the Bone to Greirat to continue his quest.
Sending Greirat To Loot The Undead Settlement
The area can be reset by warping away and back again, then exhaust Greirat’s dialog to send him on a quest to pilfer the Undead Settlement.
Head back to the Undead Settlement and progress through the game until you reach the Road of Sacrifices. ..
The Road of Sacrifices and Greirat has reopened, and Head back to Firelink Shrine from it.
You can now kill him, and his Ashes will now unlock Lightning Urns.
Method 2: Completing Greirat’s Quest
If you don’t have the heart to kill Greirat, you’ll have to complete his lengthy quest to get his Ashes.
To complete the quest, you must start it by reaching Irithyll first. Every step you take after that will not work correctly. ..
- Find a job
- Get a driver’s license
- Get insurance
- Get a car
- Start driving
- Learn the basics of driving
- Get experience in different types of cars
Greirat is a questline in Dark Souls 3 that follows the story of a mercenary who has lost his memory. The questline can be completed in any order, and rewards players with powerful weapons and items. ..
Buying & Farming Lightning Urns
The Ashes have been collected, so head over to the Shrine Handmaiden in the Firelink Shrine tunnel.
Talk to the woman and choose to give her umbral ash. Then select Greirat’s Ashes.
The ashes of the woman will unlock various items in her shop, including an infinite supply of Lightning Urns.
