I accidently killed Bernhardt early in the game. I accidently hit him so I ended up killing him after he was attacking me. Now there is a tombstone where he sat. It says pay 3000 souls. I do and he says he is indebted to me. But he never shows up in the Elana, the Squalid Queen fight. What am I paying the 3000 souls for?
