Horace is a non-playable character in the popular video game Dark Souls III. He is a member of the Blue Sentinels covenant and can be found at the Halfway Fortress Bonfire in Road of Sacrifices. In this blog post, we will discuss in detail how to get to Horace and the importance of his character in the game.
To begin, you must first reach the Road of Sacrifices area. This is accessible from the Cleansing Chapel Bonfire in Cathedral of the Deep. Once you reach the Road of Sacrifices, travel through the area until you reach the Halfway Fortress Bonfire. Here, you will find Horace standing nearby. You can summon him to assist you in battle against the Deacons of the Deep boss.
However, Horace’s importance in the game goes beyond just being a summonable character. Later in the game, you will encounter another character named Anri of Astora. Anri is searching for Horace, as they are on a quest to defeat Aldrich, Devourer of Gods. However, Anri has lost sight of Horace and needs your help to find him.
Upon journeying down into the Catacombs of Carthus, you’ll run into Anri who has lost sight of Horace. As it turns out, he’s at the bottom of the pit in the Catacombs, technically in an alcove off the Smouldering Lake, and has gone completely Hollow, and will attack on sight. Do not tell Anri of Horace’s whereabouts at any point before killing Horace. Doing so will get Anri killed.
Once you have found Horace, you have a choice to make. You can either kill him or spare him. If you choose to kill him, do not tell Anri of his whereabouts, as this will result in Anri’s death. However, if you spare him, he will join you and Anri in the fight against Aldrich, Devourer of Gods.
It is important to note that it is not necessary to have killed Horace in order to progress in the game. If you do kill Horace, telling Anri doesn’t change anything aide from where you fight her when she goes hollow after you finish her quest (Cathedral of the Deep if you didn’t, or Smouldering Lake if you did), and if you did tell her she will also put a gravestone for him in Smouldering Lake, and that’s it.
Horace is a vital character in Dark Souls III, and his whereabouts and fate have a significant impact on the game’s story. By following the steps outlined in this blog post, you can locate Horace and make the decision that will ultimately affect the outcome of the game.

The Good Ending for Anri
Anri of Astora has two possible endings in the game Dark Souls III. The first ending involves Anri becoming hollow after realizing that the player character has killed Aldrich, the devourer of gods. The scond ending involves Anri being saved by the player character and becoming the ruler of a new age of fire.
However, many players believe that the best ending for Anri is the one where she succeeds in her quest to kill Aldrich and goes hollow in peace. This ending is considered the most satisfying and fitting for Anri’s character.
In this ending, Anri completes her mission and achieves her goal of avenging her fallen loved ones. She no longer has a purpose or a reason to continue living, as her quest is complete. By going hollow, she is able to find peace and rest in the darkness, free from the pain and suffering of the world.
This ending is a bittersweet conclusion to Anri’s story, but it highlights the tragic nature of the world of Dark Souls III. It also serves as a reminder that not all stories have happy endings, and that sometimes the best we can hope for is a peaceful and dignified end.
The Best Dark Souls 3 Ending
The best Dark Souls 3 ending is subjective and can vary based on personal preference. However, the most popular and arguably the most satisfying ending is the “Usurpation of Fire” ending. This ending involves completing the questline of Yoel of Londor and Anri of Astora, whch ultimately leads to becoming the Lord of Hollows.
To achieve this ending, the player must level up with Yoel of Londor five times, which will trigger Anri’s questline. The player must then assist Anri in defeating Aldrich, Devourer of Gods, and Pontiff Sulyvahn. Afterward, the player must perform a specific action in the Darkmoon Tomb to trigger the final events of the questline.
In the “Usurpation of Fire” ending, the player becomes the Lord of Hollows and claims the First Flame for themselves, effectively ending the cycle of linking the fire. This ending is considered the most unique and rewarding as it provides a different perspective on the game’s lore and provides a sense of closure to the overarching story of the Dark Souls series.
