- "Is it not our sorry fate, to sup on death?"
- — Shrine Handmaid
The Shrine Handmaid is a character and merchant in Dark Souls III.
She is voiced by Carolyn Pickles.
Location[]
Found in Firelink Shrine, in the corridor past the Fire Keeper.
Description[]
The handmaid sells diverse items to the player. Her stock can be upgraded in exchange for Umbral Ashes that can be found throughout the course of the game.
She claims that she's Undead and affected by shrine's curse, so there's no point in killing her (as can be understood from her dialogue). She respawns when killed, and doing such only affects prices, from this point higher (also earnings for the player will be lowered). Her prices will return to normal after the player absolves sin at the shrine to Velka.
However, her counterpart in Untended Graves can be killed. She drops Priestess Ring. It is not clearly stated if it's description can be connected to Handmaid only. It can be bought, but it's only drop available after killing her, suggesting that Priestess Ring it's her personal belonging.
