Velka, the Goddess of Sin is a NPC statue in Dark Souls 3. She was previously a mentioned-only character in Dark Souls.
Velka, the Goddess of Sin Information
- Praying at the statue provides you access to Absolution (of Sin) and Dissolution (of Hollowing).
- With the addition of the Ringed City DLC, there exists a shrine that allows you to "revive" the Spears of the Church boss. The Velka statue also has this option now, a much easier/faster way to revive the boss.
Location
- You can find Velka, the Goddess of Sin's statue at the Undead Settlement, through a locked door in the sewers next to the Dilapidated Bridge bonfire.
- The Grave Key is required to get to her Shrine normally, which is sold by the Shrine Handmaid in Firelink Shrine after receiving the Mortician's Ashes.
- Though if a character can endure a long fall (Silvercat Ring or Spook are useful), it can be accessed by dropping into the ravine just outside of the Sewer entrance (The non-locked side).
Regarding Sin
- Sin only accumulates when you aggro an NPC, not kill them or invade players. When an NPC is aggroed it will count as a sin. Should you kill the NPC it will not be possible to use the absolution service as the only person you sinned against is dead.
- If a NPC is aggroed towards you, all you need to do is use the absolution option to remove their hostility towards you.
- The price for Absolution is equal to your current soul level times 1000.
- Price for Reinstating the Kings Decree = (Soul Level x 1000) / 2
- Price for Dissolution = Soul Level x 100 *
- Using this options simply resets Hollowing, but does not remove Dark Sigils from the player's inventory, and thus will not anger Yuria, nor interrupt her storyline.
Velka, the Goddess of Sin Notes & Trivia
- The Clutch Rings and the Vow of Silence spell which were associated with Velka in the previous games, are in Dark Souls 3 said to originate from the Sable Church of Londor, the realm of Hollows.
- The Black Set, originally worn by pardoners such as Oswald of Carim, the priest of Velka that performed the same function for sins in Dark Souls, is very similar to the identically named Black Set worn by one of the founders of the Sable Church, Yuria of Londor. The pardoners and members of the Sable Church are both said to be excellent swordsmen.
