About this mod
One thing that's always bothered me when playing an RPG is that you beat a boss and you don't get any stronger. This mod makes a few tweaks to the experience of defeating the main bosses of Dark Souls 3 - each of the main bosses will give the player a permanent buff after you defeat them, and I buffed the boss weapon rewards.

- Permissions and credits
Mod Engine 2 is recommended for this mod: https://github.com/soulsmods/ModEngine2/releasesBonfires
Added a series of bonfires to reduce run-back times for bosses, so that you can focus on the challenge of the boss and not the effort of getting back. The distances are as short as possible while attempting to fit into the existing level design, modeled on the Stakes of Marika from Elden Ring.
- Bonfire added to High Wall of Lothric overlooking the courtyard equidistant from Vordt and the Dancer
- Bonfire added to High Wall of Lothric just outside of the Oceiros boss room
- Bonfire added to the Undead Settlement just outside the arena for the Curse Rotted Greatwood
- Bonfire added to the Road of Sacrifices at the Sorcerer's camp just before the Crystal Sage
- Bonfire added to the Cathedral of the Deep just outside the Boss Room at the top of the stairs
- Bonfire added to Catacombs of Carthus just after the ancient bridge
- Bonfire added to Irithyll of the Boreal Valley just before the Pontiff fight (left of the stairs as you approach the boss door)
- Bonfire added to Profaned Capital just before Yhorm's boss door
- Bonfire added to Lothric Castle just outside the Dragonslayer Armor boss fight
- Bonfire added to Grand Archives just outside the Throne Room door
- Bonfire added to The Ringed City in the room with the dropdown to Midir
- Bonfire added to High Wall of Lothric just outside of the Oceiros boss room
