The saint of Orléans, dragged into the Lost Empire's mist. Her route in BLACK SOULS spans both an ending and one of the game's rarest boss fights, and her legend persists in BLACK SOULS II as a collectible Folk Tale.

Route overview
Jeanne dies during the opening but can be rebuilt as a companion. Her normal ending and Holy Beast fight are mutually different outcomes: the fight requires deliberately forcing her departure through Karma.
Before you start
- Collect Jeanne's Ashes east of Fort Ivern after returning to the fort.
- Defeat Trashlord Kraken in the Sea of Trash and keep Kraken's Tentacle.
- Reach sorcerer Keto in the north room of Skeleton Maze 1F.
What closes the route
- Spending Kraken's Tentacle elsewhere or missing Jeanne's Ashes delays revival.
- Speaking to recruited Jeanne at Karma 10 or higher makes her leave and closes her companion ending for that cycle.
- Choosing the Holy Beast branch is not required for Jeanne End.
Encounter order
| When | Where | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Return to Fort Ivern | East side near the opening dragon scene | Pick up Jeanne's Ashes. |
| After Trashlord Kraken | Skeleton Maze 1F north room | Give Keto the ashes and tentacle, then choose the companion outcome. |
| Personal ending | Cinderella's throne fog | Keep Karma below 10, raise Jeanne to 99, and select her after Cinderella. |
| Holy Beast branch | Holy Forest then Lost Empire rooftop | At Karma 10 or higher, speak to Jeanne so she leaves; find and defeat her transformed form on the rooftop. |

Why this character matters
Jeanne's BLACK SOULS storyline can lead toward a personal ending or one of the game's rarest optional fights. Those outcomes should be treated as branches, not as a single mandatory sequence.
Her presence continues in BLACK SOULS II through Folk Tale references, so players tracking the series' historical and literary echoes have reasons to follow both versions.
Plan this route
- Keep a save before late quest decisions so the ending and boss branches can be separated.
- Attempt the Holy Beast fight on a developed build; its low completion rate reflects late optional content.
- Record the BS2 Folk Tale pickups independently—the sequel collectibles do not complete her BS1 route.
