Description

The Majula Mansion is a large, mysterious house found in Majula. It can be accessed after obtaining the House Key from Cale the Cartographer. In addition to containing several useful items, the mansion includes a unique item chest, and an unlabeled map of Drangleic.

Basement Skeletons

Initially, there is a lone Skeleton in the basement. Killing it is required to allow Cale to appear by the map.

An additional skeleton will appear with every increase in Bonfire Intensity, allowing up to 8 total. The skeletons do not respawn unless Bonfire Intensity is increased, and they are each guaranteed to drop a Human Effigy.

Majula Mansion Chest

The chest found in the basement of the Majula mansion is a unique chest whose contents can change with online events. The special event items are added through calibrations updates, though they can be added 'silently', without updating the displayed calibrations version on the main menu.

Contents

By default, the chest always contains 1 Soul Vessel. The Soul Vessel is still available when other special items are added into the chest, though it may require reloading the game or playing in offline mode to obtain separately.

DLC Promotion

Most items have been added in order to promote upcoming DLC.

+ Display Promotion History

• It was announced on http://www.darksouls.jp/pc/treasurebox/ that items would change every week, starting on June 5th, until the Crown of the Sunken King DLC was released on July 22nd. The items were listed in advance, though the final item, the reskinned Murakumo, was originally listed as "A Secret Item".

• The above link was updated on August 22nd to announce the reskinned Blacksteel Katana, which coincided with the launch of the Crown of the Old Iron King DLC.

• The link was again updated on September 22nd to announce the reskinned Longsword, which coincided with the launch of the Crown of the Ivory King DLC.

Notes

• The special items are placed into the chest automatically while online. If the player previously opened the chest to obtain the Soul Vessel, they may have to reload the area in order to spawn the item in. The chest will re-close by itself to contain the new item.

• The contents of this chest cannot be replaced through the use of a Bonfire Ascetic, as ascetics only respawn the contents of wooden chests. However, the contents will respawn when progressing into the next New Game Plus cycle.

Majula Mansion Map

The basement of the mansion contains an unlabeled map of Drangleic, etched into the ground from stone. Various flames will appear on it, corresponding to specific progress made.

Lighting the Flames

Cale the Cartographer will reward you with his armor set if you light all 8 flames on the map. This is achieved by doing the following, in any order:

1. Defeating the Last Giant
2. Defeating the Lost Sinner
3. Defeating the Old Iron King
4. Defeating the Duke's Dear Freja
5. Defeating the Rotten
6. Obtaining the King's Ring
7. Obtaining the Ashen Mist Heart
8. Defeating Throne Watcher and Defender

Turning the Flames Blue

It is possible to make the flames on the map appear blue in color, though there is no known reward or effect for accomplishing this.

With the flames already lit, this will occur after using 8 Bonfire Ascetics on a flame's corresponding bonfire.³

Flame	Corresponding Bonfire	Boss(es) Requiring Defeat to Allow Use of Bonfire Ascetics
1	Cardinal Tower (Forest of Fallen Giants)	The Last Giant & The Pursuer
2	The Saltfort (Sinner's Rise)	The Lost Sinner
3	Eygil's Idol (Iron Keep)	Old Iron King
4	Lower Brightstone Cove (Brightstone Cove Tseldora)	The Duke's Dear Freja
5	Hidden Chamber (Black Gulch)	The Rotten
6	Undead Ditch (Undead Crypt)	Velstadt, the Royal Aegis
7	Shrine Entrance (Dragon Shrine)	no boss required
8	King's Gate (Drangleic Castle)	Throne Defender & Throne Watcher, & Nashandra

Footnotes

1. Rubbish was found in the chest by some players after obtaining the Murakumo, so it likely coincided with its time slot. Though the exact dates are uncertain.

2. The Katana overstayed its announced time slot by two extra days, lasting until the 7th instead of the 5th.

3. Note that getting the blue flames to appear is independent of the New Game Plus cycle or Bonfire Intensity. A player who has made it all the way to NG+10 without using any ascetics will NOT have blue flames appear, as it is achieved only by using at least 8 ascetics on the necessary bonfire.
