Umbral Ashes are key items that unlock new wares in the shop in Dark Souls 3. When you collect them, you should take them to the Shrine Handmaid at Firelink Shrine.

Mortician’s Ashes

Location: Undead Settlement

• Alluring Skull
• Grave Key

Hollow’s Ashes

Location: Untended Graves

Dreamchaser’s Ashes

Location: Road of Sacrifices
How to get: Spawn at the Old Wolf of Farron bonfire. The ashes can be seen on a window ledge, higher up in that room. Go outside, take the stairs up and turn left as soon as you climb them. You’ll see a suspicious wall. Hit it, and it will open up to let you take the ashes.

Easterner’s Ashes Location

Location: Irithyll of The Boreal Valley
How to get: After you kill Pontiff Sulyvahn, go across the courtyard and up the stairs. Go to the rightmost arch and climb along it all the way up. When you’re near the end, jump off onto the ledge below. You’ll find the ashes on a corpse there. Be wary of Silver Knights sniping from above.
Items unlocked:

• Large Titanite Shard
• Eastern Armor Set / Shiva of The East Armor
• Washing Pole
• Wood Grain Ring

Excrement-covered Ashes

Location: Irithyll of The Boreal Valley
How to get: When you get down to the river in Irithyll, look for a low-hanging arch that leads into the sewer. Once you’re in, look for torches on the walls. You’ll see a staircase leading up, and the ashes will be opposite the stairs, on a corpse in the water.
Items unlocked:

• Dung Pie
• Blooming Purple Moss Clump

Where to find Paladin’s Ashes

Location: Cathedral of The Deep
How to get: When you go down the giant steps that lead to the first bonfire in the Cathedral of The Deep area, turn right just before you reach it. Go down the narrow path and after a few steps, you’ll see a corpse with the ashes.
Items unlocked:

• Blooming Purple Moss Clump
• Lloyd’s Talisman / Undead Hunter Charm
• Duel Charm
• Lloyd’s Shield Ring
• Crescent Axe
• Morning Star
• Canvas Talisman

Prisoner Chief Ashes

Location: Irithyll Dungeon
How to get: You’ll need the Jailer’s Key Ring to get this one. Get to the church surrounded by toxic water near the Profaned Capital, then climb the roof. There’s a set of stairs there that lead back into the dungeon. Follow them and you’ll find the keys at the end of a corridor. Then teleport to the Irithyll Dungeon bonfire, go into the large prison room and jump down one floor. Go all the way to the right – the last cell you’ll see will have two doors and a fancy chair inside. The ashes are on the corpse on that chair.
Items unlocked:

• Human Pine Resin
• Karla’s Outfit

Xanthous Ashes Location

Location: Irithyll Dungeon
How to get: Drop down to the lowest level of the prison, where there’s a dozen jailers with branding irons. Keep to the left and go all the way to the end. Open the cell with the two corpses – the ashes are on the one closer to the door.
Items unlocked:

• Xanthous Armor Set
