D, Hunter of the Dead Quest Walkthrough
| Quest Objectives |
|---|
| Speak to D near Summonwater Village Speak to D at The Table of Lost Grace Ask About Rogier Give Him the Withered Dagger |
Speak to D near Summonwater Village
When you first speak to D, Hunter of the Dead, he will tell you about the beings he calls Those Who Live in Death. He warns you against the Tibia Mariner inhabiting the ruined Summonwater Village in Limgrave.
| Quest Objectives |
|---|
| ① Defeat the Tibia Mariner ② Speak to D in Summonwater Village |
Defeat the Tibia Mariner
In order to progress the interaction with D, players will need to defeat the Tibia Mariner boss. During the fight, it will teleport throughout the village and summon skeletons to defend itself.
Tip: Stay on horseback throughout the duration of this fight. Most of the Mariner's attacks are easily dodged. Keeping mobile on Torrent allows you to ignore the mobs completely and focus down the Mariner.
How to Beat Tibia Mariner
Speak to D in Summonwater Village
After the boss fight, speak to D who appears in the area. He will tell you to head to a gate that teleports you to the Bestial Sanctum. Speak to D's master, Gurranq, and feed him the Deathroot dropped by the Mariner.
Speak to Him at The Table of Lost Grace
After you feed Gurranq the Deathroot, D will relocate to the Roundtable Hold. He will be seated on one of the chairs at the Table of Lost Grace.
Speak to him and he will tell you that you are now brothers in arms of the Golden Order. Afterwards, D will sell two Incantations unique to his Order.
How to Get to The Roundtable Hold
Ask About Rogier
Once players beat Godrick the Grafted, Sorcerer Rogier will move to The Roundtable Hold. After speaking with the sorcerer briefly, return to D and he will have a few things to say about his time fighting alongside Rogier.
Give Him the Withered Dagger
At some point in Fia's questline, she will ask the Tarnished for a favor. Ask her what it is and she will give you a Withered Dagger to hand back to its owner. Give this dagger to D in order to progress his questline.
Once he has it, reload the area and head over to the previously locked door next to Fia's bedchambers. Inside, D will have already been killed by Fia. Looting him will give you D's Bell Bearing, the Twinned Helm, Twinned Armor, Twinned Gauntlets, and Twinned Greaves.

While this is the end of D's questline, he will have a twin brother at the Siofra Aqueduct in Nokron, Eternal City. Giving his brother the Twinned Armor Set will allow players to get D's weapon, the Inseparable Sword, after they complete Fia's questline.
Note: If players push through with giving D's brother the armor, Fia will die at the end of her questline. Make sure to weigh your options before handing over the armor.
