Is there a bonfire in Iron Keep?
Yes, there are three bonfires in Iron Keep. If you’re trying to figure out where these bonfires are located, don’t worry, this article is here to guide you.
First Bonfire:
The first bonfire is located at Threshold Bridge, just before the Iron Keep entrance via the Earthen Peak lift. Once you arrive in Iron Keep, go down the stairs to the left of the bridge, and you’ll find the bonfire at the very bottom.
Second Bonfire:
The second bonfire is located in Ironhearth Hall, also known as Belfry Sol. You can reach it by taking the staircase that leads from the large central hall. The staircase is near the bonfire itself, making it relatively easy to spot.
Third Bonfire:
The third bonfire is found in the room just before the Outside Area, accessible via the fog gate leading to the Old Iron King’s lair. After climbing the ladder and disabling the flame statues using a switch, you’ll reach the bonfire area. You’ll also encounter the Brotherhood of Blood NPC who offers you membership and various other services.
Using the Pharros Lockstone to Survive Fire in Iron Keep:
Before accessing the third bonfire, you’ll have to navigate a room with spiky walls and flame statues. The area is relatively safe when the statues are not burning, but navigating this section without taking significant damage is a challenge. Use the Pharros lockstone to create a pool of water that will lower the damage taken while crossing this room. Make sure to retrieve the lockstone as you’re entering the fog gate for the Old Iron King’s lair, before activating it.
