Unlocking the Secrets of Londor: A Comprehensive Guide to the Londor Braille Divine Tome in Dark Souls III

▶

The Londor Braille Divine Tome is one of the many key items that shape your journey in Dark Souls III, particularly for characters invested in miracles. This tome holds the secrets to dark miracles, powerful spells that can be both a boon and a curse, depending on how you choose to wield them. Ultimately, you must give the Londor Braille Divine Tome to either Irina of Carim or Karla to learn its miracles. However, the choice of who receives it dramatically impacts the story and your character’s progression. This article will explore the consequences of this decision and answer frequently asked questions related to divine tomes in Dark Souls III.

The Weight of Choice: Irina vs. Karla

The decision of which NPC to entrust with the Londor Braille Divine Tome is not to be taken lightly. Both Irina of Carim and Karla offer unique benefits and drawbacks.

• Irina of Carim: Giving the Londor Braille Divine Tome to Irina will unlock access to its dark miracles, specifically Deep Protection and Gnaw, from her shop. However, this action initiates a branching path in her questline. Giving her two dark tomes (the Londor Braille Divine Tome and the Deep Braille Divine Tome) will lead her down a dark path, eventually causing her to move to the Iudex Gundyr Bonfire where Eygon will become hostile and attempt to kill you. This darker path can lock you out of other ending options and result in Irina’s death, leading to the acquisition of her ashes. To avoid this, refrain from giving her more than one dark tome or buying any dark miracles if you want to keep her on a path to becoming a Fire Keeper.

• Karla: Unlike Irina, Karla is more receptive to the dark arts. You must first rescue Karla from the Irithyll Dungeon before presenting her with the Londor Braille Divine Tome. While she may initially refuse it, you can press her to accept it. Giving Karla the tome will unlock the dark miracles without the negative consequences associated with Irina. This is generally considered the safer option for players interested in exploring dark miracles without jeopardizing Irina’s questline. Furthermore, Karla also accepts the Deep Braille Divine Tome and pyromancy tomes, making her a convenient one-stop-shop for various spells.

The Path of Least Resistance

If your goal is to obtain all miracles and pyromancies, it’s generally advisable to provide Irina with the Braille Divine Tome of Carim and the Braille Divine Tome of Lothric, which unlock standard miracles, and Karla with the Londor Braille Divine Tome and the Deep Braille Divine Tome. This split ensures you can purchase all available spells without triggering the negative consequences of corrupting Irina.

Finding the Londor Braille Divine Tome

The Londor Braille Divine Tome is a key item found in Firelink Shrine. You will have to purchase the Tower Key from the Shrine Handmaid. This key opens the tower just outside of Firelink Shrine (the same tower that allows you to acquire the Fire Keeper Soul from the dead Fire Keeper). The Londor Braille Divine Tome can be found by taking the lift to the top, walking across the roof, and dropping down into Firelink Shrine.
