Knight Bernahl Questline

Knight Bernahl is an NPC who serves as an Ash of War merchant and plays a role in the Volcano Manor questline. Here's a breakdown of his quest:

Steps:

1. Meet Bernahl: You can first encounter Bernahl at the Warmaster's Shack in Limgrave. He sells Ashes of War and offers dialogue about guidance and the Lands Between. You don't need to exhaust his dialogue for his quest to trigger later.

2. Progress Volcano Manor: After defeating Godrick the Grafted and gaining access to Liurnia of the Lakes, continue the Volcano Manor questline. This involves accepting invitations to assassination missions sent by Tanith through letters found in her drawing-room.

3. Invasion by Bernahl: After completing at least one assassination for Tanith, Bernahl will invade you near the Guest Hall in Volcano Manor. This invasion can happen even if you haven't spoken to him previously.

4. Defeat Bernahl: Defeat Bernahl to receive his Katana, the Seppuku Ash of War, and the Black Knife Tiche Ashes of War.

5. (Optional) Talk to Edgar: Speak to Edgar in the Guest Hall after defeating Bernahl. He'll reveal Bernahl's past and motivations, adding context to his actions.

Rewards:

* Bernah's Katana: A katana weapon with unique Ash of War skill.

* Seppuku: Ash of War that deals significant HP damage in exchange for a portion of your own health.

* Black Knife Tiche Ashes of War: Summons a spectral Black Knife Assassin to aid you in battle.

Notes:

• Completing Bernahl's questline won't affect other Volcano ManorGrace questlines unless you kill Rykard before completing his invasion.
• Bernahl's dialogue and motivations offer insights into the Tarnished warriors and their conflicting perspectives on guidance and purpose in the Lands Between.
