Objectives

Catch 4 torches in a row, then speak with the Master Fire Eater.

• Catch 4 torches in a row
•  [Unlit Torches] (provided)

Description

Now that you can throw a torch, let's see if you can catch one!

Take this stack of unlit torches. Go to the bonfire and throw a torch high into the air. Catch it before it hits the ground... then throw it back up! Catch four in a row, come back to me.

Careful! They're dangerous if they hit the ground! And don't miss any catches! If you do then you'll have to go back to the bonfire and start over. Good luck!

Rewards

You will receive:  [Juggling Torch] x5,  [Burning Blossom] x5 and 11 99 

Progress

Torch catching is a lot of fun, don't you think? But have care! You don't want to get singed!

Completion

Did you get burned? If you did, then maybe you'll think twice before playing with fire...

Just kidding! Well done! It's official. You're a bona fide fire juggler. Now get out there and have some fun!

Notes

Use the item standing near the fire, follow the shadow, then stand where the shadow stops. Do this four times.

• It has been noted that sometimes the shadow is not displayed. The alternative, watching the torch itself, is very difficult.
  • For people having issues with the fire catching. If you cant see the shadow cast by the torch, go to you video settings and increase the setting for spell detail.
  • Another way to approach this quest is in First Person Mode (having the camera zoomed all the way in). Stand with the camera pointing straight up, launch your first torch, and begin running towards its landing spot. It will relaunch on its own a moment later so be ready to rush after it again. Since torch shadows rarely draw properly (or at all) this method is much more successful and significantly less disorientating.
  • A further approach is to zoom all the way out and watch from above. This may entail going into settings/Camera and increasing your maximum camera distance.
