Key Features
• Warp to ANY bonfire in the game after you light it. (new bonfire warps are all named, properly translated for all of the game's supported languages)
• Warp option is unlocked right away, after you leave the Northern Undead Asylum. (lordvessel not required)
• New game plus is triggered via an option on the bonfire menu at any time after defeating final boss. (you're not forced into next playthrough)
• Added option to reinforce estus flask to bonfire menu.
• Added a new bonfire after Undead Parish boss area. (for warp after ringing bell and quick access to Oswald)
• If a fire keeper dies you can re-light the bonfire, but it will lose its kindling level. (because every other bonfire can be lit without a fire keeper)
• Grouped bonfires into location-based categories on the warp menu, similar to Dark Souls 3.
• Renamed some bonfires that you were already able to warp to so they have more descriptive names. (all properly translated)
• Warping to a bonfire now sets that bonfire as your respawn point.
Decluttered Bonfire Menu
• The option to kindle a bonfire will no longer appear if it is at its max kindle stage.
• The option to reverse hollowing will no longer appear if the player is already human.
• The option to reinforce the estus flask will only appear if the player has a fire keeper's soul.
• Grouped the options to reinforce weapon, reinforce armor, and repair equipment into a sub-menu together.
• Removed the useless 'Leave' option from the bonfire menu.
Optional Features
• Remove the requirement of being human to kindle a bonfire.
• Remove the requirement of having a humanity point to reverse hollowing.
IMPORTANT NOTES
• Because I needed to heavily change the way bonfire events are handled by the game in order to make this mod possible, if you load an existing save (instead of starting a new save) after installing this mod you will need to revisit every bonfire you've already lit in order for them to show up on the warp menu.
• After completing the tutorial and leaving Northern Undead Asylum you will need to revisit it via the intended method and reach the bonfire again before it will show up on the warp menu.
• The second bonfire in Northern Undead Asylum was removed because it is pointless/redundant.
Simply put the event, map, msg, and [color=#ffffe0

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (3,041 endorsements, 122k downloads) – this is a proven mod.
- Removes the Lordvessel grind – you can warp anywhere right from the start, which is a massive QoL win.
- The extra bonfire in the bell tower is a nice touch for that area's annoying runback.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021 – might not be compatible with the latest game patches or other mods.
- Warping anywhere early could trivialize the game's intended progression for purists.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter bonfire or warp mechanics – check compatibility before stacking.
For Dark Souls players who hate backtracking and want the convenience of warping from the start. Also great for those who want to skip the Lordvessel requirement on repeat playthroughs. Skip if you're a purist who wants the original challenge and progression.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to back up your save before installing, as mods can affect save data.
- If you're using other gameplay mods, test Better Bonfires early to ensure no conflicts with warp or bonfire changes.
