Ingward

Overview

Location

Initially on a platform atop a ladder in a fireplace-like nook within New Londo Ruins. Relocates to a corner of Firelink Shrine near Griggs of Vinheim after the Four Kings are defeated.

Access condition

His key service (the Key to the Seal) is only granted once the player has the Lordvessel.

Can die

yes

Death or hostility conditions

Source states he will not become hostile regardless of player actions -- even placing the Lordvessel for Kaathe or joining the Darkwraith covenant doesn't turn him against the player. He is, however, fragile and can be killed outright with minimal effort. A known PC-version glitch: killing him before he grants the Key to the Seal can make that key never drop, potentially soft-locking that save.

Keeps selling if hostile survives

not applicable -- he cannot be made hostile

Dialogue progression

No branching questline beyond the Key to the Seal handoff once the player has the Lordvessel.

Relocates

yes

Relocation note

New Londo Ruins -> Firelink Shrine (near Griggs of Vinheim), after the Four Kings are defeated.
