Alexander, Warrior Jar
Alexander, Warrior Jar is a big, cheerful living jar with a booming voice and a very simple dream: to become a great warrior. You first find him stuck upside down in a hole in Stormhill, and helping him out (by hitting him) is the start of one of the most loved stories in the game.
He was made as a vessel for the remains of great warriors, and he travels the Lands Between to test himself. He is honest, brave and always glad to see you. You will meet him again and again, often in the most dramatic places.

- Flame Peak. His summon sign waits inside the Fire Giant’s arena.
- Crumbling Farum Azula. He waits on a floating platform near the Dragon Temple Lift grace and asks for one last thing: a duel.
Fate & endings
Alexander wants to test himself against you, and the duel in Farum Azula is the end of his journey. Afterwards you can pick up Alexander’s Innards and the Shard of Alexander. The innards can be taken to Jar-Bairn in Jarburg at the end of his own little story.
Lore
Alexander comes from Jarburg, the village of living jars in Liurnia. He hopes the Flame of Ruin at the Forge of the Giants will mend the crack he got fighting Radahn.
Notes & tips
- The Shard of Alexander is a talisman that greatly boosts your skills. Many players use it for the rest of the game.
