You can buy Hidden Body from Orbeck of Vinheim, but you’ll first have to complete a few steps to unlock it in his store. Here’s how to unlock and buy it:

  • Find Orbeck in the Road of Sacrifices and send him to Firelink Shrine
  • Find the Golden Scroll in Farron Keep
  • Give the Golden Scroll to Orbeck and buy Hidden Body

We’ll cover exactly how to complete these steps down below.

 

Step 1: Finding Orbeck

Orbeck can be found in the ruins that lead to the Crystal Sage fight in the Road of Sacrifices. Warp to the Crucifixion Woods Bonfire for the fastest way to him.

Walk towards the closest building to the Bonfire and look for the large hole in the stone wall.

Head through this hole, then up the stairs and past the enemies.

Run forward across the bridge at the top of the stairs, then turn left as soon as you step back inside.

Follow the left path around, climb the stairs, and turn right through a small archway to step out onto the platform where Orbeck of Vinheim hides.

Talk to Orbeck until a dialogue prompt appears. Choose to ‘Make a promise’, and he’ll vanish, relocating to Firelink Shrine.

 

Step 2: Finding The Golden Scroll

Once Orbeck has relocated to Firelink Shrine, he’ll begin selling Sorceries. You can increase his catalogue of spells through handing him Scrolls that you find throughout the game.

You’ll have to give Orbeck the Golden Scroll to add Hidden Body to his shop.

Warp to the Keep Ruins Bonfire to get to finding it.

Walk forwards out of the Bonfire room and travel down the ramp that leads into the swamp below.

Turn to your right at the bottom, and quickly cross the swamp to the small island next to the ramp.

Walk around to the left of the island, then line your camera up so that it matches the image above. Walk forwards through the swamp, continuing until you find another island.

Take out the enemies here, then turn to the right to see a small cave in the rocks up ahead.

Now walk into the cave and interact with the corpse next to the chests to receive the Golden Scroll.

Step 3: Giving Orbeck the Scroll & Buying Hidden Body

Note: This step is highly missable. Orbeck will disappear from your game if you beat 4 bosses without giving him a scroll, so be sure to give him the Golden Scroll as soon as you can.

With the Golden Scroll collected, warp back to Firelink Shrine. Then walk down the main tunnel and roll off of the right side of it, and then look to your right to find Orbeck sitting next to an illuminated gravestone.

Talk to him and give him the Golden Scroll to expand his shop’s inventory, then choose the ‘Learn Sorceries’ option to open up his shop, where Hidden Body is now available for 3,000 Souls.
