Quelana of Izalith

 Quelana of Izalith is a Character in Dark Souls.

 

Information

She is one of seven daughters birthed by the Witch of Izalith. She's known to be the mother of pyromancy, as she's the one who taught the great pyromancer Salaman. She escaped/ran away before she could be transformed into a demon due to Bed of Chaos. Unfortunately, her sisters did not escape in time.‍‍‍ If you talk to her several times, she will ask you to free her mother and sisters from the Bed of Chaos. She thanks you for accomplishing this when spoken to after the fact.

When you first encounter Quelana she will ask you if you are seeking her pyromancy (yes or no), this decision is of little consequence as answering 'no' will simply end the dialogue but you can simply talk to her again and she'll ask the same question again. In order for her to sell her pyromancies you must first answer yes.

This NPC is another pyromancy trainer, and one of the daughters of the Witch of Izalith. She's capable of upgrading your Pyromancy Flame up to +15, and ascending it after it reaches +15.

  • She spawns by a large stone pillar, between the shore of Quelaag's Domain and the second waterwheel leading to the Valley of Drakes, in the swamp of Blighttown. (See how to make her appear below.)
  • The Fire Tempest pyromancy will be available as a gift after fulfilling her request of defeating the Bed of Chaos. If you defeat the Bed of Chaos before finding Quelana, she will disappear.

      stupid ass ogres decided to ignore the safe zone that they respected literally every other time and annihilated her with rocks before I could do anything, guess there goes my pyromancer playthrough

        To this day, despite having a monopoly on Souls wiki, even the most socially well adjusted Fextralife user still has no idea exactly how to summon Quelana.

        Good job.

          heads up, I found her on NG+ with a +0 pyromancy flame. As soon as I arrived in firelink shrine I went down there with the master key to fight Quelaag and she was just there for some reason. I was streaming to a friend guiding me to get 100% achievements and we were both like "what?"

            I was able to spawn her request without the Lord Vessel.

            -level 24
            -fully ascended the pyromancer flame (doubt its related)
            -bought most of her spells (doubt its related, though after buying most of them she started saying "ah such dilligence" or some such when I talked to her.
            -I cleared sen's fortress and unlocked Anor Londo.
            ____
            At this point she offered me the favor after speaking to her and leaving the area to reset dialogue, and then talking to her again.

            Remember, you can spawn her by getting a +10 pyromancer flame, being invaded by someone with a +10 pyromancer flame, or doing something or some such with the chaos covenant I believe. Maybe hitting rank 2 and getting her spell? not 100% sure.

            In anycase, there you have it. Pyromancy is expensive af.

              Just a heads up for those who are having trouble trying to spawn her: I missed her in NG and leveled up my flame to +15 so that I could talk to her in NG+, and when I got to Blighttown in NG+, she wasn't there. Turns out it was because my flame was in my bottomless box. Once I moved it from my box to my inventory, she was there.

                So either I'm looking in the wrong spot or something because she straight up disappears after I defeated the Bed of Chaos and talked to her. I came back to the spot she should be and she's not there. I was looking to Ascending a second Pyromancy to give to Snuggy but it looks like that won't happen.

                    I got a Chaos Pyromancy from the Fair Lady, and that ended up triggering Laurentius' asking me where I obtained it dialogue. I had never levelled my pyromancer flame and I'd never met Quelana, so I'm kind of confused as to how this happened.

                      I play offline, and only had a flame upgraded to 6 or 7 I believe. She spawned anyways. So I belive the limit is +5 for your own flame at the very least. I decided to skip spawning her, because I didn't want to grind the souls for it - but she did spawn anyways as mentioned.

                        i got invaded by someone. i didnt even upgraded pyromancy flame. She appears.Whoever the guy who invade me that time, thank you

                          I had one pyromancy left for the platinum, so I came here to see what I had to do to finish her questline and to make sure she doesn't vanish on me. Then, I saw she just drops the pyromancy I need without me needing to actually do anything.

                          So, uh, thanks Fextra for saving me from Bed of Chaos NG+ :D

                            Don't tell what's-his-face, the Pyromancer you save that goes back to Firelink, about Quelana's location in the Swamp, he'll kill her and be aggro next time you go to her spot and you'll lose out on her questline if you haven't done it, yet.

                              bro really wrote this note WHY :
                              Cannot even rate these feet on a proper scale because she would obliterate it. She lives in a swamp, so without a doubt they would be filthy. Riddled with the grime and fecal matter of the Blighttown Swamp, we know she's living alone and in secret, meaning she hasn't bathed since the Chaos Demons were created, leaving potentially thousands of years for her stench to fester and grow. Nose hairs would burn off just standing within sight of her. They smell worse than a bag of Cheetos inside a container of spoiled milk. I would give my soul to just lick those feet clean, just once. Delightfully dirty, sweaty, grimy, and abhorrent. Everything you would ever want in a game about Michael Zucchini's foot fetish.

                                Demorei por volta de 30 runs farmando na segunda bonfire. Detalhe importante, antes da 5 run usando o Symbol of Avarice ao invés do Anel Covetous Gold Serpent. Acredito que usar o Symbol of Avarice seja muito mais efetivo por algum motivo.

                                  I stand before her and take a deep breath. I inhale everything: the poison vapors clinging to her skin, her dried sweat, the sheer musk of her unwashed swamp witch body. I am immediately afflicted with the Toxic status effect. My life withers away in moments, but I am content.

                                          So if you find her before the bed of chaos, then complete the quest would she still be able to upgrade/ascend the flame?

                                            Late game (after bed of chaos), Eingyi asks if you've heard of Quelana and mentions that if she was really out there, her presence would comfort the Fair Lady (if you've ever spoken to her with the ring on, she's pretty sad), so it's a shame you can't bring them together.

                                              Quelana appeared for me in my first visit to Blighttown, with a non-upgraded Pyro flame (selected Pyro starting class). I have not been invaded yet this playthrough. Was the +10 Flame requirement changed for Remastered?

                                                I have a SL1 +5 character for co op and invasions at the Burg and I’m wondering if I password summon somebody who has a sufficiently upgraded flame through their red sign soapstone in Blighttown will it affect my weapon level? I know I’m not picking any upgraded stuff up I’m just summoning them but I’m just trying to be as careful as possible, would it affect anything?

                                                              For me she appeared without even having the pyromancy flame and without ever summoning anybody. I got summoned later on but she already appeared before. Was that a bug or what is going on? I was really surprised when I saw her.

                                                                If you need help getting her to appear, just message me and we can discuss a time/password to summon my character with a +10 pyromancy flame. Passworded summon signs bypass level restrictions on summoning, and I've tested this and it works fine.

If you need to password summon someone with a Pyro +10 flame to get her to appear, then I like to help. Just add me and we can discuss a time/password as the password summoning bypasses level restrictions on summoning. :)
