Lords of the Fallen Bucketlord NPC-Related Quests

The Way of the Bucket

The first thing you need to do is to collect the Bucketlord's Salute that is found on the platforms outside the Vestige of Chabui. After retrieving it, you will return to the Vestige of Chabui, and then climb the ladder to the left. This will take you to a higher level with a narrow path. Walk down the path until you reach the end and you will see The Bucket Guy seated on the ground behind the steel bars.

NOTE: The quest is bugged for some players. While other options may not be working for you, it may work for others. The same thing could be said the other way around. Try the following options:

• Unequip everything including accessories such as Rings and Throwables. Then, equip the Broken Bucket in the Main Hand and the Condemned Set or
• Unequip everything down to accessories such as Rings and Throwables. Equip the Broken Bucket in the Main Hand.

Take out your Umbral Lamp in front of you to cross the steel bars. While facing the Bucket Guy, wear the Broken Bucket and use the following Gestures: Greeting, Pointing Downward, and Bucketlord's Salute. After doing this series of Gestures, the Bucket Guy will now tell you: "The pride of the Bucketlords has been reaffirmed." 

NOTE: The Way of the Bucket quest is bugged for some players. Others have reported that you have to use ALL the emotes on your quick bar and use the Bucketlord's Salute last. 

Your next goal is to defeat the sinners, or non-remembrance bosses found throughout. One of them is The Sacred Resonance of Tenacity, which is one of the bosses found in Pilgrim's Perch. You can find this location in the upper area of the  Pilgrim's Perch, by the mouth of the cavern that leads out to a waterfall. This area is through the door near the Bellroom Vestige (Vestige of Blind Agatha), which requires the Pilgrim's Perch Key. After the fight, you will find the Pride of the Bucketlords dropped right in the middle of the doorway.

You will need to collect 3 more of these Pride of the Bucketlords, and then take them back to the Bucket Guy in Skyrest Bridge to exchange for a piece of armor. 

NOTE: Players may only carry up to 4 of the Pride of the Bucketlords, if you carry an extra, this will cause the quest to fail and bucketlord will turn hostile, locking you out of completing it. Players may need to start a new character or an NG+ run to attempt this quest once more. This part is possibly hinted by these 2 lines from the clue:  

Yet hoard not without measure, show mutual regard,
For greed amongst the downtrodden is seen as truly marred.

The Pride of the Bucketlords can be found in the arena of every sinner, or non-remembrance Bosses in Lords of the Fallen. Every 4 buckets will give you a piece of the Bucket Guy's armor that you can obtain by delivering 4 Pride of the Bucketlords to the Bucket Guy in Skyrest Bridge. Delivering the first 4 buckets will reward you with the Bucket Boots, the next one will give you the Bucket Head. For the final set of buckets, you will get a new message from the Bucket Guy 'Seek Gold Amidst Flames'. This area refers to Lower Calrath which is visibly on fire.

To find the Gilded Bucket, travel to the Vestige of Lydia the Numb Witch, and go to where you fight the first Ruiner, near a large burning tree in the middle. Past this fight, there is a new section that you can explore. Look for the newly-opened door that you can go inside to retrieve the Golden Bucket in Lords of the Fallen.
