In Dark Souls 3, every stat point matters. Thankfully, there's a way to fix your mistakes. By finding Rosaria, the mysterious leader of the Rosaria’s Fingers covenant, you gain access to a rare and powerful feature: stat respec. This mechanic lets you reshape your character’s build and even tweak their appearance — if you’re willing to pay the price.

Where to Respec: The Path to Rosaria

To gain access to character respec, you must find Rosaria, the leader of the Rosaria’s Fingers covenant. She is located in the Cathedral of the Deep.

How to reach her:

• Travel from the Road of Sacrifices to the Cathedral of the Deep.
• Inside the cathedral, find the large hall with two giants.
• On the left side of the hall, there’s an elevator you need to take to the upper level.
• Cross the rooftop and follow the path leading to Rosaria’s Bed Chamber.
• Inside, you’ll find a bonfire for fast travel and Rosaria herself.

How to Respec Your Stats

After speaking with Rosaria for the first time, you will be able to join her covenant. Once you’re a member, you unlock the option to respec your stats.

Requirements:

• You need an item called a Pale Tongue.
• Pale Tongues can be found in the game world or obtained by defeating other players in PvP.
• You can only respec up to five times per game cycle (before entering NG+).

Important Notes

• Respec is limited to five uses per playthrough. To reset again, you must start New Game Plus (NG+).
• Joining Rosaria’s covenant or respecing may interfere with certain storylines, such as Sirris of the Sunless Realms’ questline. It is recommended to complete that quest before interacting with Rosaria.
• Respec does not reduce your soul level — you only reassign your existing stat points.

Additional Features

Besides changing stats, Rosaria also allows you to alter your character’s appearance. This also costs one Pale Tongue and counts toward the five-use limit per playthrough.

How to Get Pale Tongues

• They can be found in areas like Farron Keep or Cathedral of the Deep.
• You can also earn them through PvP by joining Rosaria’s Fingers and defeating other players.

Respec in Dark Souls 3 is a valuable tool for refining your character or exploring different playstyles without starting from scratch. While its usage is limited and may affect certain questlines, it offers much-needed flexibility in a game where every decision counts. Used wisely, Rosaria’s gift can help you survive — and thrive — in the unforgiving world of Lothric.
