Show Your Humanity is a puzzle in Dark Souls 3: The Ringed City. It is located on in the Ringed City by the Ringed City Streets Bonfire.
Show Your Humanity Puzzle Solution
To solve this puzzle, travel to the swamp area, and use a White Branch twice or the Chameleon spell while standing in the water. You will be transformed into a humanity, much like Dark Souls One. While still in humanity form, walk back to the wall with the inscription and it will open a path to a ladder and secret items.
The items found after the puzzle:
- Dragonhead Shield - Found after the "Show Your Humanity" Puzzle. See Video above.
- Large Soul of a Crestfallen Knight
- Purging Monument - Request Absolution (sin), Dissolution (hollowing), Reinstate King's Decree (revives Judicator Argo)
Items nearby the puzzle:
- Covetous Gold Serpent Ring +3 - Found where Lapp's 3rd location. All the way down the stairs from the Shira and and left and up the ladder immediately on your left in the swamp. Double back across the bridge, defeating the two Ringed Knights. On a corpse in a room past them with Lapp inside.
- Havel's Ring +3 - Found just below where you get invaded by Dark Spirit Ledo, on the ledges above the swamp.
AnonymousThis is an idiotic secret, you can't even call it a puzzle or a riddle because those have reasonable ways to figure out the answer, but there's nothing given to you here that would let you actually reason this out. There's no clues to let you suspect that using a white branch in a particular random spot would have a chance to turn you into a humanity phantom when those *haven't even been in this game* and there certainly aren't any of them around. And it's only a *chance*, meaning that even if you somehow stumble across the answer either randomly or by exhaustion, you can still not get it just purely by randomness. This is like a pixel hunt 'puzzle' where the pixel only even has a 1/3 chance to do anything when you click on it. It's like a switch puzzle where the 'switch' is a blank wall that doesn't even give you any feedback that interacting with it does anything until the third time. The souls series is pretty amazing overall, but it really gets too far up its own ass sometimes and forgets the 'but fair' part of the 'hard but fair' design maxim.

I did some testing and:
I'm pretty sure that to turn into a ghost you just have to be looking towards black crystals.
So as some people here were previously saying, just come down the stairs, there are some crystals on the right, you don't have to be close, you just have to be looking at them. Use a white branch and you will be transformed first time. It is even possible to transform without aggroing the locust. I usually hug the left wall and use the white branch where the stairs end, maybe one step further. Works every time.

Open gate shortcut. Run out the door next to bonfire to swamp. Kill the big hydralisk at bottom. Run out into swamp a bit, not far enough to agro. Use branches or chameleon repeatedly without moving until you turn into glowing white humanity. It took me 5 branches.
Yes! I finally did it! I wonder whats up that ladder! *dies*

If someone is still struggling to figure out the solution,just follow my lead, 1)go to to water in the swamp 2)unequip ALL your armor and 3) use the chameleon spell or a young white branch.
It worked first try doing this,hope it helps cheers!!!

hey, you found the secret, congratulations. now take a room full of cancer.
Unfortunately, this page cannot be edited even by registered users. Use Chameleon or the White Branches until you turn into a humanity (black ghost with a white outline), not necessarily a certain number of times. I doubt you need to actually be in the swamp, but that is one way to do it.

Didn't work for me. Did it in the swamp water and it kept changing between the grave stone and the big gemstone thing wasted all my branches on this.

Do a puzzle, get an area full of hell. Dark Souls logic in a nutshell.

Pretty good explanation of the puzzle if you need a walkthrough of the area you are in the wrong place silly casuals

How in the hell would you figure this out on your own, unless you have a habit of casting chameleon on yourself not just once but twice on every single different piece of terrain in every single area of the game?

Literally took me 16 times before I finally made it to the inscription without being forced out of chameleon by the small drop you need to go down in order to get there

Cast spook and hidden body before dropping down the ledge. Then run past the first ringed knight to find the summoner, who will immediately spot you. Kill him quickly and then trace back to take on the knights one at a time. That'll be the end of your summoning problems.

I played other souls games, but I would never figure this one out by myself, I only could think "show your humanity" as not being hollowed.

Thanks for cutting out all the important stuff from this video

Hey asshole, how bout mentioning the cluster***** of mobs when you get up there...
Forgot to mention two of those knights, and one of those freaking giants who summon tons of archers and Black Knights btw.
If FromSoft really think this is a "puzzle", then they are so far up their own asses its ridiculous. A puzzle is supposed to be something you can figure out based on deduction and clues. This garbage is an easter egg that you can only "solve" by pure chance, from using an item that almost nobody ever uses. I'd like to see a list of how many players have solved this joke on their own without any googling or datamining. I'll bet its less than 10.
