Eygon is a pretty recognizable character from Dark Souls 3. There is a bond between him and Irina. From first meeting Eygon, he will greet players by telling them he is "allied to you as long as you assure the girl's safety." He and Irina share a questline that revolves around turning Irina into a Fire Keeper.

By the end, players will be able to treat Irina as the Fire Keep of Firelink Shrine and even use her to level up. Irina's quest has two paths that can be taken, dark and light. Both involve purchasing her miracles.

Rescue The Maiden

The quest begins when players rescue Irina from her cell. Players will first notice Eygon sitting on a rock by a locked cell door on their way out of the Undead Settlement. There are two ways down. Players can either purchase the Grave Key from the Shrine Handmaiden and open the door in the sewers by the Dilapidated Bridge bonfire. This path will take players through the sewers and past a few skeletons.

The other way down is to jump off the cliff behind Eygon. This will cause a fair amount of damage to the player, but it is quicker. Once down there, head through the small opening to a room with rats. Defeat the rats and climb the ladder to get to Irina's cell. Irina will ask players to touch her face. After doing so, she will teleport to Firelink Shrine.

Dark Path: Purchase Dark Miracles

Whether or not a player takes the good or dark path in Irina's questline will depend on if they purchased any dark miracles from her. Players who want to do her dark questline will need to find the different tomes and start by purchasing a dark miracle from her.

After purchasing one of the dark miracles and reloading the area, Irina will be gone. Eygon will take her and they can be found just past the Iudex Gundyr bonfire at the bottom of the hill from Firelink Shrine. Eygon will be hostile toward the player and try to kill them. After killing Eygon, talk to Irina and she will return to Firelink Shrine.

Important Notes About Dark Quest

There are a few things players should know about the dark side of Irina's questline. If a player purchases all of the dark miracles from Irina, she will no longer sell the player miracles and will only talk to them. If a player only purchased a few of the dark miracles from Irina, they will still be able to access her inventory and purchase more items from her.

Dark Path: Talk To Irina

To finish the dark side of Irina's questline, the player will need to talk to her one last time. After defeating Eygon, players will have received Morne's Gauntlets. Equip these gauntlets and talk to Irina. She will ask the player to touch her.

Touching her with Morne's Gauntlets will initiate dialogue where she asks the player to kill her like Eygon promised to do if she fell to darkness. Kill her to receive her ashes and give them to the Shrine Handmaiden. Players will be able to purchase miracles from the Handmaiden now.

Light Path: Irina Becomes A Fire Keeper

If players forgo purchasing any dark miracles from Irina and instead purchase all of her regular miracles, Irina will become a Fire Keeper. She will move to the tower of Firelink Shrine where the Sword Master was located. Players will be able to use Irina to level up as well as the normal Fire Keeper. The two tomes with dark miracles in them will be sitting on the ground in front of Irina. Players can give them to Karla if they still wish to learn dark miracles.
