As everyone knows, the Dark Souls III endings are three. The most complicated to follow is certainly the one where, by marrying Anri, you get the goal "The conquest of fire". Here is a detailed guide on how to manage to unlock that ending
The quest we're going to cover starts quite early in the game's storyline. In fact, the first NPC we will need to reach our goal is Yoel, a pilgrim we will meet shortly after defeating the second boss, Vordt Of The Boreal Valley. Everything begins, therefore, at theSettlement of the Undead. As soon as you arrive in that area, before entering the actual settlement, you can meet the good Joel of London, you find it in the midst of a series of dead pilgrims.The location of Yoel of Londor. Notice the only pilgrim who still moves, even if only a little. |
You can "Tap into True Power" five times (four more times in addition to the first), at Yoel. Each time you tap into it, you will earn one level and one more Dark Symbol. To unlock the desired ending it is necessary to tap into "true power" up to the limit allowed.
** Do this before defeating the guardians of the abyss! Otherwise Yoel will die prematurely and the ending will no longer be available. **Yuria will take over from Yoel |
available in that area. The next step required to complete the quest is to defeat the Deacons of the Depths. A "collective" boss far enough in history to get to the next step will therefore require some time. After defeating yet another boss, return to theAltar of the Bond and you will find Anri ed Horace behind the thrones, exhausted all dialogues here too.
The next place you will meet Anri, will be in the Carthus Catacombs, exhausted all the dialogues here too. You will find Anri again, always in the Catacombs, before the crumbling bridge (to be dropped to reveal the passage leading to the Ardente Lake). I believe that it is no longer necessary to repeat that, even in this case, it will be necessary to exhaust all the dialogues.

Marry Anri of Astora in Dark Souls III
The wedding will take place, however, in a secret room of the Dark Moon. To access it, you must exit the bonfire room (Anor Londo) through the door on the left and continue always keeping to the left. Once on the terrace, take the stairs on the right and, down the stairs, turn right and enter the castle again. Climb the ladder and turn around, hit the wall with the large statue on the left.The secret room of the Dark Moon |
At this point, the only thing left to do is celebrate the wedding… well yes you're technically marrying a corpse but hey, you've unlocked the latest ending!
The last NPC useful for the fulfillment of the marriage is another pilgrim, like Yohel, which will give us a useful sword to complete the ritual (use the sword on the body of Anri to complete the ceremony).
You can still talk to Yuria, who will love you, but basically all you have to do is get to this state at the end of the game. In the final boss fight, when I followed this path, I also had a chance to summon just Yuria. Fight and defeat the final boss and interact with the bonfire. If you did everything right, you will get the empty ending and the coveted trophy / achievement will finally be unlocked "The conquest of fire".
