Learn how to find and summon the elusive Holy Knight Hodrick in Dark Souls III for the Mound-makers covenant and a Homeward Bone. A secret encounter!

Alright, so you're looking to find Holy Knight Hodrick, huh? He's a bit of a hidden gem, and you've got a really small window to meet him. You'll need to do this before you face the Curse-rotted Greatwood in the Undead Settlement. Don't worry, I'll walk you through it.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, head to the bonfire in the Undead Settlement. From there, make your way across the burning tree bridge. Keep to the right side of the buildings, and you'll eventually reach the rooftops.
  2. 2
    As you explore the rooftops, you'll come across a Hollow Manservant. Keep an eye out – this one has a cage strapped to his back. The trick here is to sneak up behind him.
  3. 3
    Once you're behind him, interact with the cage. This will teleport you straight to the Pit of Hollows.
  4. 4
    This is where you'll find Hodrick. Interacting with him here allows you to join the Mound-makers covenant and nets you a handy Homeward Bone.

Drops:

  • Vertebra Shackle (only if you're a Mad Spirit when you encounter him)
Tips
  • Make sure you do this before progressing too far into the Undead Settlement, specifically before fighting the Curse-rotted Greatwood. Missing this window means you'll miss out on this particular encounter.
  • The Hollow Manservant with the cage is your key. If you miss him or he spots you before you can examine the cage, you'll likely have to reload the area or try again on another playthrough.
