# Respawn System
## Respawn System
*Grace remembers the last flame that welcomed you.*
EldenRO uses the **latest Bonfire you rested at** as your normal **Site of Grace** and save point.
After a normal defeat, returning to your save point brings the character back near that Bonfire. Special multiplayer or instance rules may temporarily use a different return flow.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Resting changes your Site of Grace.**
Simply discovering or traveling to a Bonfire should not be treated as confirmation that your save point changed.
{% endhint %}
***
## System Summary
| Property | Current Rule |
| ------------------------ | ----------------------------- |
| **Normal Respawn Point** | Latest rested Bonfire |
| **Stored Position** | Near the Bonfire |
| **Default Offset** | 2 cells |
| **Resting Restores** | HP, SP and Flask charges |
| **Previous Grace** | Replaced by the newest one |
| **Player Tomb** | Remains at the death location |
| **Special Content** | May use separate return rules |
***
## Setting Your Site of Grace
Interact with the Bonfire you want to use as your normal return point.
When resting, EldenRO:
1. Records the Bonfire's map.
2. Stores a position **2 cells away** from the Bonfire by default.
3. Replaces the previous normal save point.
4. Restores HP and SP.
5. Refills the allocated Crimson and Cerulean Flask charges.
The confirmation message is:
> `You rested at the Site of Grace.`
{% hint style="success" %}
When this message appears, that Bonfire is your new normal return point.
{% endhint %}
***
## After Death
During normal open-world play:
1. Death-related systems are processed.
2. A Player Tomb may be created when the death is eligible.
3. The character returns through the normal save-point system.
4. The latest Site of Grace is used as the normal destination.
Returning does **not** move or recover a Player Tomb.
***
## Site of Grace vs Player Tomb
| System | Purpose |
| ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------- |
| **Site of Grace** | Determines the normal return point |
| **Player Tomb** | Stores eligible lost Zeny at the death location |
| **Bonfire Travel** | Helps return toward discovered locations |
Example:
* You rest at Bonfire A.
* You later die at location B.
* Your normal return point remains near Bonfire A.
* Your Player Tomb remains at location B.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Changing your Site of Grace does not move an existing Player Tomb.
The tomb stays where the eligible death occurred.
{% endhint %}
***
## Changing Your Respawn Point
Resting at another Bonfire immediately replaces the previous normal save point.
Only the latest recorded Site of Grace is used by the standard save-point return flow.
Fast travel and Bonfire discovery are separate systems. After reaching a Bonfire, rest there when you want it to become your new Site of Grace.
***
## Recovery at a Bonfire
The current Bonfire interaction restores:
* **100% HP**
* **100% SP**
* Crimson Flask charges up to the current Crimson allocation.
* Cerulean Flask charges up to the current Cerulean allocation.
Resting does not remove Flask upgrades, maximum Flask capacity or the current Crimson/Cerulean allocation.
***
## Special Return Rules
The Site of Grace is the normal save point, but temporary systems can apply their own return behavior.
Examples include:
* **Player Summoning** — a Helper may return to the position recorded before being summoned.
* **Invasions** — the Invader may return to the position recorded before entering the Host's world.
* **Instances** — scripted encounters may control their own death or exit behavior.
These temporary rules do not necessarily replace the character's normal Site of Grace.
***
## Quick Guide
1. Reach the Bonfire you want as your checkpoint.
2. Rest at it.
3. Confirm `You rested at the Site of Grace.`
4. Continue your journey.
5. After a normal defeat, return through the latest Grace.
6. Recover any Player Tomb separately.
{% hint style="success" %}
**Grace controls where you return.**
**The Player Tomb controls what remains behind.**
