How should I do Anri's questline?

[DuelShockX]

I looked it up on the wiki and all the endings seem sad so now I just want the ending that I benefit from the most regardless of what I do. Anything guys?

[Anri of Astora]

if you're ok with zombie bride, usurpation of fire your best choice. Otherwise, she's gonna hollow no matter what you do.

What are the steps? Kill horace? Tell her to go to horace?

In the supposed "good" ending you sacrifice yourself. There are no happy endings for anyone.

Alternatives are steal the fire or snuff it.

More importantly, did you level up 5x times from Yoel? If not you can only go for ending in which you help him/her slay Aldrich and then it's curtains.

complete yoel's hollowing
talk to yuria of Londor, exhaust her dialogue.
meet anri on the road of sacrifices.
Meet Anri second time in catacomb of cartus.
3rd time you can talk to her/him right before wolnir's bossfight but is purely optional (You can tell Anri or not about Horace destination after killing him, only thing that actually changes - Anri makes grave for Horace in Smouldering lake or on the cemetery infront of cleansing chapel).
Talk to Yuria again after killing Horace. Travel further to the church of yorshka, exhaust Anri's dialogue.
Dont kill pilgrim hiding in the corner.
In darkmoon tomb (behind illusory wall under Anor Londo bonfire (at first floor) complete wedding ceremony. That's all.

Note: dont progress any furter than Anor Londo bonfire.

Perhaps you do not do his task, he can have been living in that world

[DuelShockX]

Well uh I only leveled up once from the hollow level up guy then he died after beating catacombs boss.

[Marsquatch]

IMO the best ending for Anri is the one where she succeeds in her quest to kill Aldrich and goes hollow in peace. Not exactly a happy ending, but at least it's bittersweet unlike the other options.

Then should I kill, ignore, or lead anri to where Horace is (and he's alive down there)?

Kill Horace THEN tell Anri. When you get to the Boreal Valley, you must kill the chameleon'd assassin when you bump into Anri again at the church bonfire. This is the last requirement for her to show up at Anor Londo to complete the quest.

The difference between telling and not telling is where Anri shows up hollow. You will either find Anri where Horace used to be at the Smouldering Lake or at the steps leading up to the cleansing chapel.

It doesn't matter what you tell her to do - BUT if you send her looking for Horace when he's alive, she will instantly die.

Feel free to tell Anri but when you get to the Boreal Valley, you must kill the chameleon'd assassin when you bump into Anri again at the church bonfire.

If you want to zombie bride/usurp the flame, you MUST NOT kill the chameleoned assassin.

Well his fellow pilgrim friend in firelink seems to have had crippling legs, fell down and died cause nobody went to help him.

[Washing Machine]

Killing Aldrich and turning hollow is his/her good ending.
Like every NPC just wants to accomplish their goal and then they can die in peace. It's kinda the thing with these faceless undead since DS1.

I think OP has already missed Yoel's part. Regardless, the assassin will still be there otherwise Anri shows up dead at the altar.

As mentioned, the pilgrim you get in firelinkshrine died after I beat the catacombs boss. Only managed to lvl up once off of him.
