Always exhaust the dialogue of Siegward to ensure he moves onto each stage of his storyline!

1. Speak to him in the Undead Settlement, he will be coming up on the elevator in the tower that has the arrow shoting Giant atop.
2. Speak to him again outside of the tower, he will be sitting on ledge, you can jump down onto from the elevator, overlooking a Demon. Drop down and defeat the Demon to receive his praise and admiration. He will give you a Siegbräu and teach you the Toast and the Sleep Gestures.
3. After you open the great doors to the courtyard of the Cathedral of the Deep, he will appear in a well just outside of the Cleansing Chapel. Exhaust his dialogue.
4. Next, you can either:
   • Head to the top of the tower in Firelink Shrine. You will be trapped by Unbreakable Patches. Escape and speak to Patches and purchase the Catarina Set;
   • Alternatively, on the second floor of the Cathedral of the Deep, not very far from the door leading to the courtyard, you can meet Patches pretending as Siegward. He encourages you to walk through a narrow walkway. If you do, a cutscene will play, in which Patches lowers the walkway and reveals himself. Next you will find him on the gallery near the Rosaria's Bed Chamber bonfire. Forgive him, and he will become a merchant here, selling the Catarina Set. Note that after forgiving him here, he will still move to Firelink Shrine and trap you in the tower
   • Another option is to kill Patches while he is pretending to be Siegward and BEFORE he springs his trap on the walkway. Also, you can then cross the walkway without needed to reach the rafters. This will preclude Patches becoming a merchant, but he will drop the Catarina Set on death.
5. Give the armor to Siegward in the well. He will teach you the Rejoice gesture.
6. Head to Irithyll of the Boreal Valley, progress through a small sewer near to the lake next to the Distant Manor bonfire. He will be found resting near a fireplace. He will teach you the Toast and the Sleep Gestures here if you didn't learn them earlier, as well as a Holy Fragment.
7. Progress into Irithyll Dungeon, heading through a pit full of rats and a sleeping Giant. In the pit you will find a dungeon cell window, through which you can talk to Siegward (optional)
8. To free Siegward, retrieve the Old Cell Key and head to the Profaned Capital bonfire and reach the roof of the blue-peaked house found within a cave. Head towards the stairs to an open window in the wall. Jump off the roof through the window and continue forward to reach Siegward's cell. Free him to receive a Blunt Gem.
9. Now, if you fight Yhorm the Giant, Siegward will enter alongside you with his very own Storm Ruler, making the fight much easier. Once Yhorm has been defeated, Siegward will leave behind 1,000 souls, his Catarina Set, Pierce Shield, and Storm Ruler.

Notes

• A recurring character from the original Dark Souls, Siegmeyer of Catarina, a knight who is always found "in a pickle" multiple times throughout the game and rewards the player for helping them. They share a face, voice, armour, equipment, country of origin, personality and a similarity in name.
• Proceeding into Irithyll Dungeon without meeting Siegward by the fireplace will place him in the cell and Blunt Gem will still be awarded after he is freed, but he will not appear in the fight against Yhorm the Giant. It seems to be a bug and Siegward has to be killed if you desire his armor.

Item Drops

• Storm Ruler
• Catarina Set
• Pierce Shield

Notes
