Quest branches and services
These branches include alternatives. Check the requirements for each before acting.
Firelink Shrine
Arrival
Requirements: Defeat the Capra Demon.
What to do: Meet the cleric party beside Petrus. Speaking through the departure dialogue, or progressing through Pinwheel, advances their pilgrimage.
Result: The Tomb rescue can become available.
Consequences and cutoffs: Killing Petrus before the party arrives makes the party hostile.
Tomb of the Giants
Rescue
Requirements: Rhea has reached the pit with her hollowed escorts.
What to do: Defeat Vince and Nico, then speak to Rhea in the pit.
Result: Receive Replenishment. Her next shop location is the Undead Parish altar.
Consequences and cutoffs: Avoid hitting her during the fight.
Undead Parish
Shop
Requirements: Rhea has been rescued and reached the church altar.
What to do: Buy the miracles you need before continuing boss progression.
Result: Her advanced miracles are available here.
Consequences and cutoffs: Petrus can kill her as the story advances. Do not treat this shop as permanent.
Undead Parish
Parish Cutoff
Requirements: Rhea has been rescued and is praying at the church altar.
What to do: Purchase the required miracles before defeating two of the relevant remaining bosses. Her native death branch tests a four-bit boss-progress counter against two while her Parish state is active.
Consequences and cutoffs: Earlier defeated bosses are not new progress for this counter. This rule is not a universal timer or a count of every boss in the game.
Undead Parish
Prevent Murder
Requirements: Rescue Rhea while Petrus is alive.
What to do: To preserve a dependable shopping opportunity, complete your purchases immediately or remove Petrus after the party's arrival and before his murder branch.
Result: Removing her murderer prevents that particular death branch.
Consequences and cutoffs: Absolution cannot restore a murdered Rhea. Purchases can advance a separate hollowing branch rather than keep her shop indefinitely.
The Duke's Archives
Archives Ending
Requirements: Rhea has survived and all eight of her miracle stocks plus her Divine Blessing are sold out.
What to do: Check the prison tower cell opened with the Archive Tower Extra Key for her hollow form.
Result: Her Parish shop has ended; this is the later hostile encounter.
Consequences and cutoffs: Her unlimited Talisman is not part of the departure condition. Buying only the miracles does not complete the nine required sold-stock flags.
