Ember | Dark Souls 3 Wiki (2024)

Ember is a Multiplayer Item and a consumable in Dark Souls 3.

Ember

No Unkindled can ever truly claim the embers that burn within a champion’s bosom, which is precisely what makes their yearning for warmth so keen. Gain the strength of flame and increase max HP until death. With the strength of fire, the summoning signs of Unkindled become visible, and seekers of embers can be summoned to join in co-operation. But beware the embers may also attract invaders."

Ember Usage

In order to summon other players, an Ember must be used to obtain the power of the Lord of Cinder. It is the equivalent of Humanityor Human Effigy in other Souls games. Using an Ember allows oneto become a multiplayer host. When in Enkindledmode, the character's appearance will change, and the following effects will be available until death:

• Maximum HP boosted by 30%.
• Able to summon other players via soul sign
• Able to be invaded by other players
• Icons next to gauges change
• Restores to full HP as long as you do not already have an ember equipped.

Notes and Trivia

• Embers - in terms of effect - are a combination of Humanity from Dark Souls I and Human Effigies from Dark Souls II but are most similar to Stones of Ephemeral Eyes from Demon's Souls
• A single ember is granted every time the player successfully aids another in a critical battle. In addition, the player will become Enkindled ifthey are not already in this mode.
• The player enters Enkindled mode whenever they defeat an Heir of Fire (boss).
• If you invade another player while embered and succeed you will be rewarded with an ember in addition to the usual invasion reward.
• Lothric Castle's first bonfire is the ideal farming location for Ember, as Lothric Knights there are extremely vulnerable to parrying, backstabbing, and Great Chaos Fire Orb.
• Can be sold to Shrine Handmaidfor 1000 souls, so it makes a decent earning if obtained during soul farming on Lothric Knights.
