Past him and a bit to the right is an item (not gear, it’s a Soul item I think). If you have the Cursebite Ring from the main game, that’s ideal.įollow the only path you really can until you end up in the flower garden with one of the cool knights with a melty sun chest. The version of these guys with spiky bits of purple rock coming out of them spread Curse, so either wear Curse resistant gear, or take them out at range, or both.

Just assume that one might try to jump you, or drop down on your face, after every archway. Watch out for ambushes from sneaky knife-wielders throughout all of this part. From the Inner Wall to the Streets (and Swamp)įrom the bonfire, you can head right to meet Lapp again (if you saw him earlier), gaze longingly at the won’t-be-opened-for-quite-a-while shortcut door to the left, or go straight ahead. Take a left through the door for the Ringed Inner Wall bonfire. The item at the end of the walkway is a pair of Purging Stones. Proceed carefully beyond this point, because there are a bunch of arseholes here who want to push you over the side of the cliff, or stab you, or hit you with lightning spears, or all three. He has some things to say about the Dark. If/when you’ve done that, continue down the steps and then have a chat with the weird, but friendly, insect man around the corner. Revenge! Very … slow and methodical revenge. Stay far enough away that the Adjudicator doesn’t summon his personal archer squad. You just have to periodically watch for the mace Phantom and dodge his attack. If you want to kill the Adjudicator for a Divine Blessing (and some peace and quiet), then cheesing him with a bow from around the corner of these steps is a good option. Watch out for another phantom with a mace here. Your actual way forward is to run up to the Adjudicator’s platform, and find the steps down at the back of his platform. If you want a Hidden Blessing, nip into the entrance that’s below where the Adjudicator is (watch out for overgrown skeletons and another phantom with a mace). You still aren’t safe from the Phantoms up here, so be prepared to move rapidly. Make your way around and kill the crystal lizard if you wish. Go forward again to drop down to the next level before the archers shoot you to pieces. Do it in the right place and you’ll drop down onto a platform at the side. Your next move is to basically sprint basically forward and roll off the circular area where the wall is slightly worn away. Make sure you’re inside the little sideways U shape so your back, sides and front are fairly protected. Luckily they never seem to aim through the holes.Īfter the Phantoms have loosed off three arrow volleys, run to the next set of graves on the righthand side. Then come back to the same gravestones for cover.

Turn around and run around the side beneath where the bonfire is to get the Ruin Set and learn a bit of Phantom Archer lore. Use the nearest clump of gravestones (on the righthand side) to hide behind. If you’re caught too much in the open with these guys, then you’re pretty much dead.

Watch out when approaching the open space below, because Phantom Archers will be summoned in great number by the Adjudicator in the distance. Not sure what happens if you take the other option. I said I was just pretending, and he gave me some info about a church and Princess Filianore. Just before the obvious bonfire ( Mausoleum Lookout) you’ll meet a strange character who asks whether you serve the Gods.

This guide will also tell you how to find the Purging Monument, complete Lapp’s questline, dodge a pesky Dragon and phantom archers, open up shortcuts, and offer a bit of boss advice. Same caveats as in Part One: I doubt I found every single item in this area, but I’ve done my best to account for the good stuff. Everything after the Demon Prince boss is in this one. If you’re wanting help with the Dreg Heap area in The Ringed City DLC, that’s all covered in Part One of this guide.
