Fire Clutch is found near the start of the game, while Magic Clutch and Lighting Clutch are in the latter half. In this guide, we’re going to show you the Clutch Ring locations in Dark Souls 3.

Fire Clutch Ring

Area: Undead Settlement
The Closest Bonfire: Cliff Underside if you have it discovered, Undead Settlement if not.

Once you’re at the bonfire, head to the nearby house deeper in the area.
Leave the house and go over the wooden bridge.
Once you go over the stone bridge, some enemies will start dropping bombs on you. If you keep to your left here, you’ll see some sort of torture device. Go behind it and you’ll find a small hidden path that leads to the exact location where the Fire Clutch Ring is.
The Cliff Underside bonfire is found in the basement of the house with the bombing enemies. You might want to visit this area as well, as it is where you’ll find the old pyromancer NPC Cornyx of The Great Swamp.
