Loretta's Bone | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

chilly...

Submit

I'm surprised no one has made a conection with this bone and loretta from elden ring, maybe there's some convoluted lore here

Submit

So there is no downside to giving him the bone ?

Submit

So I'm sitting here right before soul of cinder boss like uhh where is this item at huh huh, turns out, I sold this interesting piece for like LESS than 500 I think to pay for a couple bombs that I MISSED my target with...so um, sorry greyrat.

Submit

just adding, i was playing on NG and i grab the bone, then proceed to cathedral and beat abbys watchers, now i couldnt see the item on mi "key item" inventory, however when i free greirat i was able to give the bone anyway, not sure what happened there, i was checking and i couldnt see the bone before giving it to him

Submit

I think I accidentally traded this for a ring of sacrifice a while ago and now I can't get the gesture
I'm going into NG+ and NG++ to get every achievement though so it doesn't really matter

Submit

Really puts the ‘Dark’ in Dark Souls

Submit

Not-fun fact :

Loretta was Greirat's mother.

Submit

i think i glitched it, i cut down the hanging body and looted it before i talked to greirat and i didnt get the bone, now i cant find it anywhere

Submit

I personally dont care whether this bone is just a bone (to me as a character in this universe or as a player) or even whether its part of her body or something else.

The sad part about this line is Greirats reaction to it. And honestly, its somehow, to me, the (or at least among the) saddest part in the whole game.
He knew her and his reaction states he cares about her death although he tries to play it down.
And that contrast (playing the importance down in words but then reacting to the death afterwards), is what seems important.
His stance and his words tell that she was important to him. And thats all that matters to me.
His phrase "Heavens...she was already dead" implies to me, that he underwent some sort of journey and believed she was alive, to only find out that she was long gone.
Its a surprise and that surprise hit him hard enough that i have to travel back and forth several times until hes ready to move on.

Maybe he wanted to save her from death with said ring (as it buffs defense when low health).
Whenever i reach that stage, in my mind the undead settlement started to witness a cleansing process by these Evangelists and those workers/peasants were the ones helping to burn the people they deemed "heretics".
It seemed to also have hit Loretta. They killed and hanged her, probably even as a trophy.

All of that, is sad. And thats why i try to help Greirat whenever i can to survive the playthrough.
And my first action in the Undead Settlement, even though i can bypass a large part of it, is to kill all those at the burning tree.

I didnt really care for the characters in DS1 or 2, (except Demons Souls back the days it was released on PS3, which had some original and really interesting or likeable characters).
Yet, DS3 with Greirat is kind of the first Dark Souls giving me a character i really like and want to know more about.
A character good enough that i care (weirdly the undead settlement has probably the three nicest characters to safe or care about in the game anyway).

what happens if you dont give it to greirat but keep it, does it transfer into ng+?

Submit

my guess is it's an old homeward bone. prolly tried to use it while being hung but was too late

Submit

Look at the undead worker's set. They wear a necklace of bones (as souvenirs?). This was a trinket Loretta kept.

Submit

If you guys noticed He says "heavens she was already dead" But if you kill him he says forgive me dear(forgive me mother) he also says I'm actually glad she's dead his mother did not accept what he did. He wanted to be sorry but she already died long ago

Submit

I feel like this isn't a very good item, because Greirat doesn't tell you anything about it. Yes, it is labeled as her bone, but from an in universe point of view it's just a bone to us, because he never told us anything about it...

Submit

Do you need to get the ring of sacrifice from Pickle-Pee in exchange for this item to complete the "Master of Rings" achievement?

Submit

I think the bone Is a tool for something, like a catalysts. The corpse was clutghing it but it Is not part of loretta

Submit

i wonder who is the corpse, if she is loretta,is she able to clutch her own bone? i dont speak english XDD,does clutch just means catch ,or something else?

Submit

Was looking all over my inventory and saves for this thing. Was playing a character from like a year ago (diff. save file) and had cleared abyss but could NOT find this thing. Swore I hadn't sold it to the crow (and no gesture anyway), went back to the location, was completely stumped. Nowhere in my inventory.

For some reason just completely forgot about storage lol. For some reason I stashed it there and never gave it to Greirat right away. Anyway if some of you guys can't find it or think it's glitched, just double check you didn't throw it in there.

I stopped using storage in most play throughs and just sell what I didn't need but on an old character I just never finished I was using the storage to try and inventory manage since I didn't know what I should keep.

Anyway, just double check.

Submit

Gave the homeward bone, was enough to get the call over gesture

Submit

this doesn't give you the call over gesture, just the ring

Submit

Can't get Loretta's bone. I am getting it from body. I see the message that I got it but its not there and Greirat is not reacting in anyway. Good thing I had save nearby so I triplecheked it. Thats my ng ++++ and it never happened before. Also the same crap happened to Grave Key. I bought it but it is nowhere to be found and I can't open door to Velka...

Submit

If you give the Loretta's bone to the crow, Here's questline ends.

Submit

This isn't one of Loretta's bone, It is a flut made from human bone.

Submit

Should start calling Miyuzaki 'Trusty' Patches.He wouldn't steer you wrongHe won't lie through his teeth to you"Poise is working as intended"

Submit

I traded it to the crows does this mean I can't send out Greirat?

Submit

Who is Loretta?

Submit

*****

Submit

After handing over Loretta's Bone, I lost the ability to purchase items?! Is there a long term benefit? Or have I missed something?

Submit

So, i never was able to unlock the cell and already traded in the bone to the birds nest. Any way i can un ***** this? >_> what am I missing out on? :/

Submit

I traded the Loretta Bones before knowing it's importance, and now i cant continue the Greirat Quest line.

Submit

Another nana disappeared.

Submit

I just hate before I went to the wiki I accidently gave the crow the bone....Anyway other than NG+ to get it back :D?

Submit

any way to go on with the thief's questline? :s

Submit

This bone can be used as normal undead bone and be burn in the bonfire to increase the Ectus Flask's efficiency. So becareful if you want to complete Grierat's questline.

Submit

Since I screwed up and traded it in to the bird on the roof, does anyone know another way to get another one outside of NG+?

Submit

i turned off my game before getting the bone now the item is floating above where the body was hanging but there's no body to cut down so it's stuck with no way to get it

Submit

You might not want to give the bone to Greirat. He stopped selling items to me after I did, maybe it's just a coincidence?

Submit

It is in fact the ring of sacrifice you get for trading the bone with the crow (at least when I did it). I tried editing the entry but choosing "edit" just lets me change the smaller box with the quote, nothing else appears.

Submit

DONT TRADE IN SAVE FOR THE GUY HE MOVES BACK TO TOWN

Submit

So I found the bone and took it to the bird on the roof of Firelink (similar to Snuggly and Dina/Trillo(?)). She exchanged it for a Ring of Sacrifice... then I found someone locked in a cell on the HIgh Wall and he gave me a Blue Tearstone Ring to give to Loretta. Now I don't have the bone so... umm... save it for that guy, I guess! No idea what it does for his questline though.

Submit

After i cut down the corpse i died and now the bone is missing
