What You'll Learn
Breathe in the incense in front of Keeper Karithus
To get the incense for the ritual bond, you must first breathe in the incense in front of Keeper Karithus. This is done by clicking on the incense on the ground in front of the NPC. After using the incense, you will be transported to a different "phase" of Darkshore.
Once you have breathed in the incense, you will need to choose a blessing from one of the three great animal spirits: the Great Stag Spirit, the Great Thistle Bear Spirit, or the Great Moonstalker Spirit. Each spirit offers a different blessing, so choose wisely as you can only receive the blessing of one spirit.
The Great Stag Spirit offers the Blessing of the Stag, which increases your movement speed by 10% and causes you to be regarded in a friendly manner by the stags of Darkshore. The Great Thistle Bear Spirit offers the Blessing of the Thistle Bear, which reduces physical and magical damage taken by 10% and also causes you to be regarded in a friendly manner by the bears of Darkshore. The Great Moonstalker Spirit offers the Blessing of the Moonstalker, which increases your attack and casting speed by 10% and causes you to be regarded in a friendly manner by the moonstalkers of Darkshore.
Once you have chosen your blessing, Keeper Karithus will complete the ritual for you. Please stand still while they do so. After the ritual is complete, you will receive your chosen buff and the spirit will be bound with you anytime you are in Darkshore.

The Great Stag Spirit will increase your movement speed by 10% and ensure you are regarded in a friendly manner by the stags of Darkshore.

Choose the blessing of the Great Thistle Bear Spirit
To receive the blessing of the Great Thistle Bear Spirit, you must first breathe in the incense in front of Keeper Karithus. This will transport you to a different phase of Darkshore, where you will be able to see the Thistlebear, Stag, and Moonsaber spirits.
You will then need to take the incense to a cave just east of the great whirlpool. There, you will need to meditate before the Great Thistle Bear Spirit while burning the incense on the ground between you. You will then face a trial to earn the blessing of the Great Thistle Bear Spirit. Should you succeed, you will need to return to Keeper Karithus.
The Great Thistle Bear Spirit will tell you that your heart is true and that they choose you as their champion. They will offer you their boon, which you must accept to receive their blessing. Keep in mind that you can only receive the blessing of one spirit, so choose wisely. If you value the thick hide and resilience of the Great Thistle Bear Spirit, then this may be the blessing for you.
Once you have received the blessing, return to Keeper Karithus, who will complete the ritual for you.
