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.

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.

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.

Why can't members update these pages? Could use a better discription of the location. Maybe even a picture.

FYI: The wall inscription is in the room next to the Ringed City Streets bonfire room. The room has two Ringed Knight statues against a wall and the inscription can be found on the same wall just to the right of these statues. Can't edit the page and I know people will likely navigate to here without going via the walkthrough page so hopefully this comment remains visible enough to help.

I turned into humanity and walked over to the door (even went across the lake like it suggested) and the door is still closed what should I do

No need to use it twice. You randomly turn into something. If you are the black shadow with the white eyes, you turned into the correct thing. Beware, if you sprint, you turn back to yourself, so just walk there.

1. No need to use "White Branch", you can use "Chameleon" spell as well.
2. Its NOT located "on in the Ringed City by the Ringed City Streets Bonfire" it is located in the room NEXT TO "Ringed City Streets Bonfire" room, the corner directly to the right.

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!!!
