The wolf-hunting girl of the Grimm tale. In BLACK SOULS she is a paid recruit with a mother she must not meet. In BLACK SOULS II she is the SEN-0 bonfire ghost whose ten meetings open Ending G — and therefore DLC3 and Ending H.

Why this character matters
Red Hood's route changes shape between games without losing its core warning: a seemingly small meeting can decide a much larger branch. Her BLACK SOULS recruitment line intersects Elisabeth's, while her BLACK SOULS II appearances gate the path beyond the ordinary endings.
The ten SEN-0 meetings in the sequel are best treated as progression checkpoints, not optional flavor. Missing one can delay Ending G, DLC3 access, and the later Ending H path by an entire cycle.
Plan this route
- In BLACK SOULS, save before any choice that brings Red Hood and Elisabeth's storylines together.
- In BLACK SOULS II, lower SEN before revisiting each Red Hood location and record every unique meeting.
- Confirm the beach mark and all ten meetings before committing to the cycle's final ending.
Route — pick your spoiler level
No spoilers
- Appears after a specific early-mid fog boss, not in the starting forest.
- Recruitment costs a large number of souls in two payments.
- A conversation about her mother can close another heroine's route forever this cycle.
- In the sequel she is missable on a high-SEN rush and required for the later endings.
Hints — locations and requirements, no plot
- Boat in Holy Forest after Knight in Boots (Puss in Boots).
- 3,000 souls, then 100,000. Refuse the Elisabeth meeting.
- Level 99, fog with her. Killing her at Hotel Poseidon / library / offering her to the Mermaid closes the ending.
- BS2 SEN 0: Lutwidge bridge, then bonefires. Do not push progression too far between first meetings or some despawn.
- East Lutwidge after the kidnapper: save her from the dog. Beach of Grief: accept the mark. Ten meetings total.
Full steps — plot spoilers
- 1.BS1: defeat Knight in Boots, take the boat, enter the house, wake her, leave.
- 2.Return at progression 5+. Pay 3,000, then 100,000. She and Poro move to Holy Forest.
- 3.When she asks about Elisabeth, refuse. This is independent of whether Elisabeth is on the bench or in the north room.
- 4.Soul Feed to 99. Optional: the resisting Red Hood, Poro fight is not required for the ending achievement.
- 5.Touch Cinderella's fog with her. Leaf's Ring does not change this ending's text.
- 6.BS2 prep for G/H: SEN ≤ 0 before the Lutwidge stairs. Collect 10 unique meetings (bonfires she can stand at). Save her in east Lutwidge. At Beach of Grief accept the mark. Pair with 6 memories + Leaf's Ring, finish A–E, start the prism cycle, side with Red Hood → Ending G. DLC3 after that → H.
When to do what
| When | Where | Do this |
|---|---|---|
| After Knight in Boots | Holy Forest boat → Red Hood's House | Wake her. Undressing adds Sin but does not block recruitment. |
| Progression 5+ | Her house, upstairs with Poro | Pay 3,000 once, then 100,000 to recruit. She relocates to Holy Forest. |
| After Elisabeth is in the forest | Holy Forest | If Red Hood asks about her mother, tell her not to go. One chance. |
| Level 99 + princesses done | Cinderella fog | Touch it with Red Hood for her ending. |
| BS2, SEN 0, first Lutwidge visit | Bridge stairs | If she does not spawn, drop SEN below 0 and reload before walking on. |
| BS2, throughout | Bonefires at SEN 0 | Ten unique meetings, east Lutwidge dog chase, beach mark. |
What closes the route
- Never paying the 100,000 fee.
- Sending her to Elisabeth (Elisabeth route dies; A End roster dies).
- Killing her for her fairy tale before her ending.
- BS2: walking Lutwidge at SEN > 0 so the first meeting never flags; then no bonfire ghosts.

Notes
BS1 house unlocks after Knight in Boots. A 3,000-soul visit plus a 100,000-soul hire moves her and Poro to Holy Forest.
If she notices Elisabeth, one prompt decides both routes. Sending her to her mother turns Elisabeth into Torture Queen and voids A End / Elisabeth End.
Red Hood End is the fog-with-companion ending at level 99. The Red Hood, Poro fight (17.8%) is a different, optional combat path.
BS2: she appears in Lutwidge at SEN 0. Ten unique meetings plus the beach mark are hidden-route gates, not flavour.
