Locations - Darkroot Garden. Walkthrough of Dark Souls Dark Souls: Remastered - Locations of All Illusory Walls

The game starts at the location Northern Refuge Undead(Northern Undead Asylum), we select the key and open the door, we run, we kill the hollows along the way, we go up the stairs and see a fire, and behind it is an arena with a boss, but we don’t fight him, but run into open door on the left, select weapons depending on the class you are playing. Next, we kill the archer and go through the fog, then we see a staircase (we need to be careful here), when we try to climb the stairs, a cobblestone will be rolled down on us, which can kill us (as soon as you see the cobblestone, immediately roll to the right), then we go back and see this that the cobblestone broke the wall, and behind it is a warrior - talk to him (he will give you bottles of estus) or kill him and take the bombs (with them it is easier to kill the first boss). Well, we go out through the fog to the boss, jump on him and press blow, you will deal him a strong blow and take off half of his HP (depending on the weapon), then we try to run behind the demon’s back and hit him, it’s very dangerous in front - he swings his with a demonic hammer throughout the arena. Having won, get the key, open the gate and run in a straight line to the cliff.

Arriving at the location Fire Temple(Firelink Shrine), you will discover a knight who indirectly explains your goals. Also, there is a merchant of miracles here - Anastasia, she is behind bars just below the sitting knight along the road. It can be strengthened Flask with Estus, if you bring her the soul of the Fire Keeper. Also, for humanity, in addition to acquiring a human form, you can pump up bonfires, which will replenish up to 10 flasks (if you get the “combustion rite” item, you can upgrade it to 15-20 flasks). To do this, in human form, use humanity while resting at a campfire, but this improvement will only apply to the selected campfire. It is recommended to increase the fire in the Fire Temple to the maximum, since there are a lot of long and dangerous roads leading from this place.

After exploring the location, take a sword and shield (they have excellent characteristics for the beginning of the game). They are behind Anastasia, take the elevator downstairs (you will need Master key). Next, exit it and go through the gate, which is located on the right. After that, cross the bridge, turn left, where the dragon sleeps. Walk carefully - don't wake him. Right behind him, take it from the corpses Astor Straight Sword(Astora's Straight Sword) and Shield with dragon emblem(Dragon crest shield). Most likely you will die, but the items you pick up will remain with you.

Undead City - First Difficulties

Well, let's head to our first location - Undead City(Undead Burg), this is up along the cliff, on the way you will meet undead, but they are not so strong. Climb the stairs (under the stairs you can find a ring, but it is of little use) and enter the tunnel, deal with the rat, then exit the tunnel through the passage. Here you will be met by a couple of enemies, and behind them you will already be able to see a passage through the fog, but do not rush to go there. First, break the barrels, jump down and examine the lower part. Then we pass into the fog, a dragon will fly by, there will be more hollow ones, on the right you will see two hollow spearmen, there, if you break the barrels and go down, there will be a merchant, be sure to buy a bow from him, it will be useful in the future.

From the merchant go left, there after going up the vertical stairs, you will need to jump from the roof into the opening in the house, here you can find Light crossbow(Light Crossbow), after that go back where you left, to the two hollow spearmen, from the tower where the crossbowman was shooting, there is a door below - you can take it there Knight's shield(Knight Shield). There is a fire nearby, activate it and rest. From the fire we go left through the passage, bombs will be thrown at you from above (you can kill the bombers with a bow or just run past). Go through the room after the bridge (where the bombs fall) and go up the stairs - there will be three more enemies and a closed door, if you open it, there will be Gold resin(if applied to a weapon, it will increase electrical damage, it will help in battles with bosses or strong enemies (if they are not immune to lightning). Clear the area of ​​all undead, then climb the tower.
Carefully! A barrel will roll towards you from the stairs, jump off the steps.
Below you can find Black Knight- he is strong at the beginning of the game, but you can kill him if you climb a vertical ladder onto the roof and from there either throw bombs or shoot him with a bow. Well, if you are a magician or pyromancer, you won’t have any problems. He will often drop weapons. Right behind where he stood there will be Ring with blue stone(Blue Tearstone Ring), which increases defense with low HP. Having taken the ring, go back up the tower from where the barrel was rolled down on you. Climb to the very top of the tower.

In fact, the boss itself is not difficult; his dogs and small room add to the difficulty of the battle. Here it all comes down to the fact that you need to run up the stairs on the left. Once at the top, kill the dogs and then jump on the boss and kill him. He's not scary alone, just don't get hit by the blow he delivers with both hands. After defeating him, you will receive the key to Depths. This is from the boss, down and to the left, there will be a locked door, also, there are steps up, if you go there, there you will find yourself in a long tunnel and open a gate in it, this will be a shortcut to Fire Temple. Nearby you will find a woman merchant; you can buy various antidotes and herbs from her.

Dark Roots Garden - Moon Butterfly

Now we can afford to go to different locations, and Depths, and in Dark Roots Garden. But let's first go to the forest, it's not far from the blacksmith, go down, he'll meet you there Titanite Demon, falls from him titanite. He's not that scary, he shoots electricity, waves his cleaver and jumps up, nothing special at all, if you want, run past him, he's very slow. Going out into the garden, you will be greeted by trees, they are not scary, just don’t stand next to them, otherwise they will put a curse on you, then we go and come to a luminous gate, there is a wall nearby, hit it. There will be a fire there. If you have 20,000 souls, buy the key from the blacksmith - this is the leveling area. Open the gate and lure out the enemies, then run back to the gate, there are steps nearby, but you need to go behind them from the right. All the enemies you lured will fall in this place, in a couple of minutes you will have 10,000 souls. You need to go through the passage to the right of the glowing gate, there will be more trees and giant knights, they are very slow, but can slow you down a lot if you get close to them. There is a secret here - spinning tree, hit it and a secret passage will open, where you can find Ring with a wolf. To the right you can see a corpse on which you can find Elite Knight Set, but be careful, there are trees in the ground and, in addition to them, giants. Further into the depths there will be a giant and an upward climb. This is the path to the boss.

The boss is very beautiful and weak, he will fly and shoot magic, sometimes with small flashes, sometimes with large ones. The only dangerous thing is the beam, somersault to avoid getting hit by it. If you are a magician or have bombs, the battle will be short. Otherwise, wait until she sits on a flower, at that moment start hitting her. Also, you can call for help - Witch Beatrice, she is in the bushes under the stairs. When you kill the butterfly, go further and go upstairs, there you will take the ember for the blacksmith and the key.

Northern Undead Refuge - Rusty Iron Ring

Once you kill a butterfly, you can go kill it hydra, but to do this you need to return to the starting location and take a ring there to quickly move across water or other uneven surfaces. Return to Fire Temple, take the elevator up, but not all the way. Having risen a little, jump down, go to the right and jump onto the beam, further up the stairs, don’t forget the key to the grate. Next, go to the nest and sit down, you will have to wait a little, after some time the crow will take you to Northern Refuge Undead. The enemies here have become stronger, do not run headlong towards them, lure them out one by one. Run to the hall where you fought the first boss. If you stand in the center, you will fall to the boss - he is much more difficult than his brother, and after the fall you will have little health - it is not necessary to defeat him. If you don’t fight the boss, we run into the hall through the door on the right, there will be a knight, kill him, then you will meet the knight who was at the beginning, but now he will attack you. Killing him will give you Shield with emblem. Climb the stairs opposite, they will drop a stone on you again. Dodge him, and then deal with the hollow ones, then move on past the place where you jumped to the boss. Kill two hollows and take them Rusty iron ring, it will allow you to move on uneven surfaces.

One of them is fat and slow with a huge sledgehammer, and the other is thin and fast with an electric spear. If you are with a phantom, then the battle seems to be not so difficult, but it’s not so easy for one, when one of the bosses dies, the other will acquire his abilities. It is better to kill a thin one; a fat opponent is slower and easier to deal with. When you kill him, you will receive a ring, at the end of the hall, go up the screw lift, and activate the fire there. Talk to the princess nearby, she will give you Great Chalice, it needs to be placed on a pedestal. This is in Fire Temple, jump down near the snake's head. After this, all passages into the yellow fog will open, this is somewhere in the catacombs, when you go to Nito, in ruins and in archives, if you have already met them. Also, you can kill the princess and day will change to night, from the fire near the princess go down to the hall, a couple of new warriors come out there, then from the hall to the street, down the stairs and on the lift you need to go down to the fire. There was a monument behind the fire, now it is gone, go down, go through the fog to the boss - .

The virgin will shoot magic: either small charges, from which you can hide behind the columns along the edges, or large ones, from which you can only dodge. Run not straight, but diagonally, it’s better to dress lighter for fast movement, having overtaken her, attack, and so on until victory.

The Painted World of Ariamis

We go to the hall where the painting is, there will be killers there, try to lure them out one by one. If you cut down a chandelier, pick it up Big weapon of magic, and on the corpse near the painting - Black Iron Set, if the doll is with you, go into the picture (you will not be able to leave the location until you complete the quest). There is a fire right at the beginning of the location. We go from the fire, the gate is closed, we go around (the path is hollow), there will be a platform, we go not to the stairs where the archer stood, but to the left. There we go up, as you go up, a pair of winged demons will fly in, when they are preparing to jump, run back or dodge to the side, otherwise they will jump and kill you. Jump down onto the balcony and pick up Dried finger we jump down and move on, there will be some fingers there, they shoot fire, when you kill them, they can put a toxin on you. Go across the bridge, there is an archer and these fiery fingers. Here, cut down the corpse, go up to the ceiling, there we jump over to the corpse and go down the vertical stairs. Take it in the chest Guardian Painter Set. After this we exit, the bridge and tower are visible to the left. A dragon will fly to the bridge, the same as it was in the Valley of Dragons, where they took the sword. If you kill him you will get Bloody Shield, if you run to the end of the bridge, then there is a petrified dragon, hit it in a jump and open the road. If you jump down from the bridge, you will go straight to the boss. We go down, in the tower we go out to phalanx, they are slow and kill well, right behind them we open the gate to the fire. If you are in human form, then leave the fire straight through the gate, and there will be a cemetery on the right, explore. This place will be invaded by a phantom Yellow-skinned King Jeremiah, kill and get it Spiked Whip. When you leave this location where the boss is, take it Yellowskin Set. From the fire we go to the left building, go up and cut down the corpse on the rope, go down back and to the left, there will be a vertical staircase down to the basement. There are very dangerous opponents here - Skeleton wheel, they need to be lured out one at a time, so don’t rush. A corpse is visible in the hall, there is a lever near it, you need to open the large gate in the tower to the boss. Next to the corpse, knock on the wall and a passage will open. To avoid getting lost, do not break all the passages at once. If you go straight and turn left into the first opening, there will be an exit to the street through the well, we go into the second, left, and then right. Climb up, kill the hollow and take Fiery stream. Now we break the first opening from the hall where we entered, there will be a key to the neighboring building. You can go through the well to the street. We go to the next building. Open the door, go straight, kill the hollow ones, go down and pick up the dark coal. Going back the way you came out here, break the boards, and there will be a Welky's Rapier. If you want, go up the stairs, here you will be fired upon by a hollow. Go out to the tower, there on the corpse Welky's black set for a cleric. Next we go to the boss, there will be hollows and a knight.

Go through the fog, right behind it is waiting for you, you can talk to her and leave the location without a fight. If you get involved in a fight, she will disappear and be invisible. Look at the snow, there are footprints on it, so you can track her movement. To make it visible, you need to strike two or three strong blows. If you manage to cut off its tail, you will receive Priscilla's dagger. After winning, go up the steps and leave the location.

Catacombs

In order to get into Catacombs, go down the path to Fire Temple. Go to the cemetery with skeletons. To kill skeletons, you need a celestial weapon; if you don’t have one, you need to kill the necromancers who resurrect them. Explore the cemetery and pick up from the corpses Winged Spear And Two-handed sword . There are also binoculars here, maybe someone will find them useful. Next we go down the stairs along the mountain and enter the catacombs. Here, in addition to skeletons, exploding heads and trap statues fly. We go down the vertical stairs down and to the left (there is a group of skeletons in the opening), we reach iron door, it is closed, we dive into the opening in the wall, on the left there will be a fire and the first necromancer. They shoot fire, but are easily killed. Here, turn the lever and open the door. Enter the door, kill the necromancer, he is in a building next to the waterfall, he will be visible from here. We go into the building, kill the skeletons in the right room Lucerne hammer, then, where the archer is, go right and go out to the bridge, you need to turn it over, go right and activate the lever. As you exit onto the bridge, a necromancer will be visible in the tunnel. As you cross, there will be a room on the right, fall down there, there is titanite (guarded by snakes).

Go out along the stairs again to the bridge, we pass further, and there is a spiral staircase down, here is another necromancer. Once activated, go back a little and go through the opened passage, we see a bridge and a passage into the fog. We go back along the rock, hit the wall near the statue, there is a fire there. We go back from the fire, but not to the bridge, but into the opening from where we came out, we go down the circular staircase to the very end, there the corpse is still visible, we need to jump to the very bottom in order to find the blacksmith Vamosa, he will then break through the wall in the mountain, and you can go to him along a short and simple path. We leave the blacksmith into a broken opening, there will be a lot of skeleton wheels, so don’t rush. Here you can turn right from the blacksmith and run straight to the boss - .

Jump down, the boss teleports from place to place and creates copies of himself that attack with magic projectiles. The real Vortex also performs such attacks. At first he will create 2 copies of himself, but as the battle progresses he will make 6-8 copies. Kill and get Rite of Combustion- increases the bonfire level for humanity. Climb the vertical stairs at the end and enter the Crypt of the Giants.

Crypt of the Giants

A very dark location, the light in which is visible only from the lava in the distance (this Demon Ruins) and glowing stones. On the way to the boss (from where you can see Ash Lake) daylight still penetrates. If you have spells or an item that gives light, there will be no problems here. We go to the first light, then another one is visible directly, from it turn right and cross the abyss along the beam, then there will be a giant skeleton, when you kill it, move straight, but slowly, you approach the edge. Carefully look down, a corpse will be visible, a skeleton will be standing nearby, lure it out of there, and then jump to the corpse. Below there will be another corpse, we jump there, the light will be clearly visible, to the left there is a staircase to the fire, there is also a man standing there who will push you into the pit.

Activate the fire, there is a man standing from the fire along the vertical stairs and to the left, approach him and talk to him. He will ask you to look down and then push you off. Pick up below Skull Lantern on corpses and take it in your hand, it is not convenient that during a fight you have to remove it by choosing a weapon or shield. There will be pillars made of skeletons, you will also meet Rhea of ​​Thorolund, it took place in our main camp with two accompanying persons. Talk to her, and then save her by killing her companions. Next, we go up the vertical stairs, open the secret wall and go to the right to the one who pushed us into Patchwork. Talk to him and then kill him, you will receive humanity and an axe. We go back past the fire where we came out of the pit, and we’ll approach the tomb, you can go up along it, there will be an archer and a skeleton with a sword. Further along the vertical stairs, here you can pick up things or souls from corpses. But we jump down into the tomb (into the hatch). There are a lot of skeletons there, but if you need coal, you will have to kill everyone, after which you can take the coal. We go further, from the fire to the left, be careful here (there will be skeletons, giant dogs), from here you will see the fog, if you look down near it to the left, there is a fire. We pass into the fog, a knight may immediately come running, and an archer will also shoot. After the archer we go down, there will be a small platform, go to the right and pick up a shield on the corpse. We go to the tier below, to the left there will be a fire, and if to the right, there will be a road to the boss. As we leave the fire, a corpse is visible, on it Ring with a silver serpent - gives a 20% increase to souls received. After that, we go higher, where the archer was. We go from the fire below, be careful, there are skeleton dogs, as you enter the tunnel, hit the snake, and if you are in human form and did not kill the boss, a phantom will invade Paladin Leroy, having killed, you will receive his shield and weapon. We run further, we will go out to the sorcerers shooting balls, at the top there will be a passage to the boss - .

Outwardly it looks like a large skeleton surrounded by smaller skeletons. When you fall down, don’t run around the arena, but stand here, first a couple of skeletons will come running. Kill them with divine weapons so that they do not resurrect, and Nito alone is no longer so dangerous. When he lets out a scream, he hits the ground, after which swords will stick out from the ground, they can hang the toxin. He also makes an explosion, run back and then hit him, don’t run to the other end of the hall, there will be skeletons there that will only add to the hassle. If you kill, light a fire here and pick up Paladin Set.

Duke Archives and Crystal Grotto

We move to the fire in Anor Londo, on the square to the left, past the guards. We walk along the earthen path and enter a long corridor, inside there are two Fanged Boars (the Boar Helm fell from one again), after them there is a fire. From the fire we will come to the crystal dragon and there we will have to die, so if you have souls, spend it. We go up on the lift, there you will be met by the hollows and the magician. We go to the second tier and take the lift to the top. Next we go along the passage, there will be a snake and a knight, and then a crystal dragon. It’s not possible to kill him now, so we just die. Later you will wake up in a cell, there is a fire and the key is with a guard who is sleeping. We open the cage and go down, examine all the chambers, in one you can jump a little lower, there is a key, then we go down. Here you need to turn off the gramophone. Sitting at the very bottom behind bars Logan Big Hat, while there is no key, climb up the vertical ladder here. Kill the snakes and open the chest with the door key to leave the hall. Now from the fire we go to the left and climb up the long vertical stairs, when we go up, an open chamber will be visible, jump down there from above if you need Maiden's Cape And White perfume ring, giving one miracle slot. We open the door and go across the street into another room, in this room there is a fire below. There is a passage to the right from the fire, but it is now closed, we go upstairs again, into the next room onto a transferable staircase, switch and go along another level back to the hall, jump onto the same staircase, switch, go down below, we see an archer. Kill him and go down the vertical stairs. We activate the lever, the passage to the fire will open. Here, examine the rooms, in one chest there are Medium set, coal and the key to the cage with the magician. Activate the lever, a passage down will open, kill the hollow and take Soul of the Firekeeper, for pumping the flask. We pass into the fog and go out into the street, deal with the golems. Save the magician and talk to him.

We run from the fire to the street through the clearing, below, where a pair of golems are visible, along the beam to a small ledge and down to the right there is another golem, then to the very end, we jump down and also run along the edge all the way, look to the left, there is a continuous abyss, but here you can run between the butterfly and to the right of it there is a luminous column, further along the beam there will be a golem, we kill and there will be a patch, from this patch you can see a corpse below, so the road through the abyss is just above the corpse and closer to you, where you are standing. As you go through the abyss, you will get to the shells and, in fact, the boss. Huge beautiful dragon. Immediately run behind Sith and destroy the original crystal that gives him immortality. Run up close to him and start knocking him down, you can stay a little to the right, he will turn, do not fall under his tentacles, try not to be in the crystals that he scatters, otherwise you will be cursed.

Ruins of New Londo and the Abyss

We take the elevator down from the bonfire in the Firelink Shrine, and once you get down, you will emerge into the Ruins of New Londo. Take a little to the right, there will be a staircase down, there is a blacksmith behind bars Rickert of Vinheim. Having seen him, we go along the bridges, when you pass the second one, kill the ghosts, go to the right into the passage, there you can see a corpse with The soul of the fire keeper, for pumping the flask. We go further, go up the steps, across the bridge, then go down the spiral staircase and go right to the fog. We go upstairs (be careful, there are ghosts under the bridge), knock down the stairs here, cross the passage and go to the building, the building is full of ghosts. Next in the hall with the fireplace we go upstairs, in general we go to Ingvard, take the door key from him to drain the water. From there we go down (if someone didn’t take the ring from the curse, it’s in this building, you need to go around the bottom), go from the hall to the right and down the stairs, go out into the street, there are more stairs and we come to the tower, open the gate and drain the water . A passage to the Valley of Dragons will open. Where we left the building from Ingvarda, if you look, you can see the fog from here, this is the way to the abyss and to the boss - Four Kings, don't forget to put on the ring you took from Sipha.

Since the water has been drained, the lower part can be examined. If you go to the valley and kill the dragons, you can take it on the bridge Bandit set and a shield, as well as a ring on the tower. Now, as we came out here, we pass through the buildings into the building. Be careful, there are strong warriors here, don’t run into the hall, lure them out one by one, there will be a demon in the hall. Once you kill everyone, there are two stairs in the recess, go up the right one, you can find coal there. The other exit from the hall is the closest path to the camp, there is also a secret wall here, hit it, there is a warrior there, and there is titanite in the chest. Well, actually, let's go to the boss. You can call for battle Witch Beatrice. We put on the ring, go through the fog and jump down.

Boss - Four Kings. The boss deals relatively little damage to you, which increases with the appearance of all four Kings. You should not fight with everyone at the same time, but one by one, quickly destroying them. Prolonging the battle will lead to your death. A very effective tactic: we give ourselves greater protection, take a fast and powerful weapon and simply ram the boss, periodically pausing for healing.

Demon Ruins

Let's go from Beautiful Lady(where you killed Queleg) down and go out to the location with lava, here activate the fire. We go from the fire a little lower and to the right through the passage, we pass into the fog to the boss - Tireless Warrior, a huge boss, he won’t attack until you take him at the end of the location Seth Daughters of Chaos.

As soon as you take it, the boss will start attacking to make it easier to kill him, in the middle of the location there is a rock and a passage, run to the beginning of the location, let the boss come here, and then run to the passage between the rock and the mountain, stand up to see the boss in this passage, he will launch long-range attacks with his claw, run back behind the rock, his blows are very strong. After hitting him, hit his claw. Having killed, we go down from the boss and go even lower along the rock, there will be capri demons (there are a lot of them here), when you go down you will see a corpse below, jump there, there is a worm, and behind it a fire, you can go around. The fog is clearly visible from the fire, we need to go there, go through the demons and aggressive statues. Before the fog, go to the left, there are calves, and at the end there is a chest with coal. If you are in human form, a phantom will invade - knight kirk. Having killed him, we go into the fog to the boss - Wise Fire Demon. This is another type of training demon, only now it is fiery, and tree branches will interfere with movement on the site. There shouldn't be any problems here.

As soon as we kill, we go to another exit, go down and activate the fire there. From the fire, if you go to the very top, there will be a lift to the spider. Further from the fire we again pass into the fog, there is lava and a boss Demon Stonefoot.

The centipede demon is immune to fire, it is better to have a weapon with magic or electric. As you enter, he will come running to you, don’t be in front of him, he can grab you and chew you, and under him a bunch of his legs can also cause damage to you, roll from his attacks. When you kill, you'll get Orange ring, giving you the ability to run on lava. Next, we pass through the lava a little to the left, there will be a passage and a fire.

Forgotten Izalith and the Crucible of the First Flame

You'll meet me near the fire Solera, further from the fire you will go through a location where there is only lava. There will be demons of isolith here, there are many of them here and they are difficult to kill. They deliver strong blows with their legs and tail, you can aggro three or four of them and let them hit each other. If you need Soler in the fight with the final boss, you will have to talk to him near the fire. You can also open a shortcut from the spider; to do this, you can feed her 30 humanity and be in her covenant. If you spoke with Soler, then you will have to face nine Hausa errors, you need to kill all nine, otherwise your partner will go crazy and be hostile, but at the same time, by killing him, you will receive his uniform, talisman and armor - it's up to you. Walking straight through the location from the fire, there will be two buildings in the middle, in the first of them there is an open doorway - the only place where you can hide from demons, in the second, if you climb up the log, there is a corpse with humanity and a fire, if you need it. If you entered the first building, then looking from it a little to the right, you can see what looks like a piece of pipe, we need to get there in order to rise higher. Next, go to the fork, go down, there is a hall on the left where you can fall down and a long passage opposite, there will be a demon, and behind him Soler

Well, actually, from the fork we’ll come straight to the stairs. Here, if you are in human form, the knight Kirk will invade, and the pyromancer will also attack you. After killing him, go into the fog, to your left. There will be a passage to the boss - Bed of Chaos. We roll down and see the area with the boss, it’s a huge tree. We see luminous balls to the left and right of him, run to the right first to one, kill his appendage there, then the boss will start hitting with strong attacks, because of them the floor will fall through. Meanwhile, you need to run to the other one, the same thing there, and then from the place where we started, run straight through the arena that has fallen in the middle to the heart of the boss. The battle is not difficult, considering that if you destroy one appendage and die, he will not restore them, so even if you die, you will come, and he will be without an appendage.

Well, let's go to Fire Temple to the head of the serpent (Framptu), he will lower you down again, there is a brother at the head (Kaas), but to meet him, you need to talk to Ingvard, after receiving Great Chalice, to take the key to the abyss and fight the 4 kings, talk to him there. If you join him, you will be given the Black Pyromancer Set. Erect a Great Chalice on the Altar of Fire and donate into it the Great Souls - the Bed of Chaos and Nito, as well as the Shards of the Great Souls - the Four Kings and the Naked Sith. The passage to the final boss will open - Gwyn, Lord of Ash.
There will be knights on the way to the boss; here you can collect stones from them for leveling up, although they are no longer needed if you are not going to go through the game a second time. A boss with a huge fiery sword that he swings non-stop. If you can't catch him on counters, then you'll have problems. The shield will not help you, you have to back away and wait for the moment to strike, mainly when he tries to grab you. With a phantom, the battle will, of course, be easier. Once you kill the boss, the game will start again, so if there are any unfinished tasks, do not go to the boss, but finish them first. After defeating the boss, choose the ending:

• Light a fire - you will again give light to this world;
• Put out the fire - you will emerge as the lord of darkness, and in the meantime it will cover the whole world.

They know firsthand how useful it can sometimes be to hit every wall that appears in sight. A lot of interesting things can be hidden behind them. Series Dark Souls belongs to the small number of games with truly complex secrets. If you have not yet explored every corner of Lordran, then next we will tell you how to find all the illusory walls.

The game starts at the location Northern Refuge Undead(Northern Undead Asylum), select the key and open the door, run, kill the hollows along the way, go up the stairs and see a fire, and behind it an arena with a boss, but don’t fight him, but run into the open door on the left, pick up weapons depending depending on the class you are playing. Next, we kill the archer and go through the fog, then we see a staircase (we need to be careful here), when we try to climb the stairs, a cobblestone will be rolled down on us, which can kill us (as soon as you see the cobblestone, immediately roll to the right), then we go back and see this that the cobblestone broke the wall, and behind it is a warrior - talk to him (he will give you bottles of estus) or kill him and take the bombs (with them it is easier to kill the first boss). Well, we go out through the fog to the boss, jump on him and press blow, you will deal him a strong blow and take off half of his HP (depending on the weapon), then we try to run behind the demon’s back and hit him, it’s very dangerous in front - he swings his with a demonic hammer throughout the arena. Having won, get the key, open the gate and run in a straight line to the cliff.

Arriving at the location Fire Temple(Firelink Shrine), you will discover a knight who indirectly explains your goals. Also, there is a merchant of miracles here - Anastasia, she is behind bars just below the sitting knight along the road. It can be strengthened Flask with Estus, if you bring her the soul of the Fire Keeper. Also, for humanity, in addition to acquiring a human form, you can pump up bonfires, which will replenish up to 10 flasks (if you get the “combustion rite” item, you can upgrade it to 15-20 flasks). To do this, in human form, use humanity while resting at a campfire, but this improvement will only apply to the selected campfire. It is recommended to increase the fire in the Fire Temple to the maximum, since there are a lot of long and dangerous roads leading from this place.

After exploring the location, take a sword and shield (they have excellent characteristics for the beginning of the game). They are behind Anastasia, take the elevator downstairs (you will need Master key). Next, exit it and go through the gate, which is located on the right. After that, cross the bridge, turn left, where the dragon sleeps. Walk carefully - don't wake him. Right behind him, take it from the corpses Astor Straight Sword(Astora's Straight Sword) and Shield with dragon emblem(Dragon crest shield). Most likely you will die, but the items you pick up will remain with you.

Undead City - First Difficulties

Well, let's head to our first location - Undead City(Undead Burg), this is up along the cliff, on the way you will meet undead, but they are not so strong. Climb the stairs (under the stairs you can find a ring, but it is of little use) and enter the tunnel, deal with the rat, then exit the tunnel through the passage. Here you will be met by a couple of enemies, and behind them you will already be able to see a passage through the fog, but do not rush to go there. First, break the barrels, jump down and examine the lower part. Then we pass into the fog, a dragon will fly by, there will be more hollow ones, on the right you will see two hollow spearmen, there, if you break the barrels and go down, there will be a merchant, be sure to buy a bow from him, it will be useful in the future.

From the merchant go left, there after going up the vertical stairs, you will need to jump from the roof into the opening in the house, here you can find Light crossbow(Light Crossbow), after that go back where you left, to the two hollow spearmen, from the tower where the crossbowman was shooting, there is a door below - you can take it there Knight's shield(Knight Shield). There is a fire nearby, activate it and rest. From the fire we go left through the passage, bombs will be thrown at you from above (you can kill the bombers with a bow or just run past). Go through the room after the bridge (where the bombs fall) and go up the stairs - there will be three more enemies and a closed door, if you open it, there will be Gold resin(if applied to a weapon, it will increase electrical damage, it will help in battles with bosses or strong enemies (if they are not immune to lightning). Clear the area of ​​all undead, then climb the tower.
Carefully! A barrel will roll towards you from the stairs, jump off the steps.
Below you can find Black Knight- he is strong at the beginning of the game, but you can kill him if you climb a vertical ladder onto the roof and from there either throw bombs or shoot him with a bow. Well, if you are a magician or pyromancer, you won’t have any problems. He will often drop weapons. Right behind where he stood there will be Ring with blue stone(Blue Tearstone Ring), which increases defense with low HP. Having taken the ring, go back up the tower from where the barrel was rolled down on you. Climb to the very top of the tower.

In fact, the boss itself is not difficult; his dogs and small room add to the difficulty of the battle. Here it all comes down to the fact that you need to run up the stairs on the left. Once at the top, kill the dogs and then jump on the boss and kill him. He's not scary alone, just don't get hit by the blow he delivers with both hands. After defeating him, you will receive the key to Depths. This is from the boss, down and to the left, there will be a locked door, also, there are steps up, if you go there, there you will find yourself in a long tunnel and open a gate in it, this will be a shortcut to Fire Temple. Nearby you will find a woman merchant; you can buy various antidotes and herbs from her.

Dark Roots Garden - Moon Butterfly

Now we can afford to go to different locations, and Depths, and in Dark Roots Garden. But let's first go to the forest, it's not far from the blacksmith, go down, he'll meet you there Titanite Demon, falls from him titanite. He's not that scary, he shoots electricity, waves his cleaver and jumps up, nothing special at all, if you want, run past him, he's very slow. Going out into the garden, you will be greeted by trees, they are not scary, just don’t stand next to them, otherwise they will put a curse on you, then we go and come to a luminous gate, there is a wall nearby, hit it. There will be a fire there. If you have 20,000 souls, buy the key from the blacksmith - this is the leveling area. Open the gate and lure out the enemies, then run back to the gate, there are steps nearby, but you need to go behind them from the right. All the enemies you lured will fall in this place, in a couple of minutes you will have 10,000 souls. You need to go through the passage to the right of the glowing gate, there will be more trees and giant knights, they are very slow, but can slow you down a lot if you get close to them. There is a secret here - spinning tree, hit it and a secret passage will open, where you can find Ring with a wolf. To the right you can see a corpse on which you can find Elite Knight Set, but be careful, there are trees in the ground and, in addition to them, giants. Further into the depths there will be a giant and an upward climb. This is the path to the boss.

The boss is very beautiful and weak, he will fly and shoot magic, sometimes with small flashes, sometimes with large ones. The only dangerous thing is the beam, somersault to avoid getting hit by it. If you are a magician or have bombs, the battle will be short. Otherwise, wait until she sits on a flower, at that moment start hitting her. Also, you can call for help - Witch Beatrice, she is in the bushes under the stairs. When you kill the butterfly, go further and go upstairs, there you will take the ember for the blacksmith and the key.

Northern Undead Refuge - Rusty Iron Ring

Once you kill a butterfly, you can go kill it hydra, but to do this you need to return to the starting location and take a ring there to quickly move across water or other uneven surfaces. Return to Fire Temple, take the elevator up, but not all the way. Having risen a little, jump down, go to the right and jump onto the beam, further up the stairs, don’t forget the key to the grate. Next, go to the nest and sit down, you will have to wait a little, after some time the crow will take you to Northern Refuge Undead. The enemies here have become stronger, do not run headlong towards them, lure them out one by one. Run to the hall where you fought the first boss. If you stand in the center, you will fall to the boss - he is much more difficult than his brother, and after the fall you will have little health - it is not necessary to defeat him. If you don’t fight the boss, we run into the hall through the door on the right, there will be a knight, kill him, then you will meet the knight who was at the beginning, but now he will attack you. Killing him will give you Shield with emblem. Climb the stairs opposite, they will drop a stone on you again. Dodge him, and then deal with the hollow ones, then move on past the place where you jumped to the boss. Kill two hollows and take them Rusty iron ring, it will allow you to move on uneven surfaces.

One of them is fat and slow with a huge sledgehammer, and the other is thin and fast with an electric spear. If you are with a phantom, then the battle seems to be not so difficult, but it’s not so easy for one, when one of the bosses dies, the other will acquire his abilities. It is better to kill a thin one; a fat opponent is slower and easier to deal with. When you kill him, you will receive a ring, at the end of the hall, go up the screw lift, and activate the fire there. Talk to the princess nearby, she will give you Great Chalice, it needs to be placed on a pedestal. This is in Fire Temple, jump down near the snake's head. After this, all passages into the yellow fog will open, this is somewhere in the catacombs, when you go to Nito, in ruins and in archives, if you have already met them. Also, you can kill the princess and day will change to night, from the fire near the princess go down to the hall, a couple of new warriors come out there, then from the hall to the street, down the stairs and on the lift you need to go down to the fire. There was a monument behind the fire, now it is gone, go down, go through the fog to the boss - .

The virgin will shoot magic: either small charges, from which you can hide behind the columns along the edges, or large ones, from which you can only dodge. Run not straight, but diagonally, it’s better to dress lighter for fast movement, having overtaken her, attack, and so on until victory.

The Painted World of Ariamis

We go to the hall where the painting is, there will be killers there, try to lure them out one by one. If you cut down a chandelier, pick it up Great Weapon of Magic, and on the corpse near the painting - Black Iron Set, if the doll is with you, go into the picture (you will not be able to leave the location until you complete the quest). There is a fire right at the beginning of the location. We go from the fire, the gate is closed, we go around (the path is hollow), there will be a platform, we go not to the stairs where the archer stood, but to the left. There we go up, as you go up, a pair of winged demons will fly in, when they are preparing to jump, run back or dodge to the side, otherwise they will jump and kill you. Jump down onto the balcony and pick up Dried finger we jump down and move on, there will be some fingers there, they shoot fire, when you kill them, they can put a toxin on you. Go across the bridge, there is an archer and these fiery fingers. Here, cut down the corpse, go up to the ceiling, there we jump over to the corpse and go down the vertical stairs. Take it in the chest Guardian Painter Set. After this we exit, the bridge and tower are visible to the left. A dragon will fly to the bridge, the same as it was in the Valley of Dragons, where they took the sword. If you kill him you will get Bloody Shield, if you run to the end of the bridge, then there is a petrified dragon, hit it in a jump and open the road. If you jump down from the bridge, you will go straight to the boss. We go down, in the tower we go out to phalanx, they are slow and kill well, right behind them we open the gate to the fire. If you are in human form, then leave the fire straight through the gate, and there will be a cemetery on the right, explore. This place will be invaded by a phantom Yellow-skinned King Jeremiah, kill and get it Spiked Whip. When you leave this location where the boss is, take it Yellowskin Set. From the fire we go to the left building, go up and cut down the corpse on the rope, go down back and to the left, there will be a vertical staircase down to the basement. There are very dangerous opponents here - Skeleton wheel, they need to be lured out one at a time, so don’t rush. A corpse is visible in the hall, there is a lever near it, you need to open the large gate in the tower to the boss. Next to the corpse, knock on the wall and a passage will open. To avoid getting lost, do not break all the passages at once. If you go straight and turn left into the first opening, there will be an exit to the street through the well, we go into the second, left, and then right. Climb up, kill the hollow and take Fiery stream. Now we break the first opening from the hall where we entered, there will be a key to the neighboring building. You can go through the well to the street. We go to the next building. Open the door, go straight, kill the hollow ones, go down and pick up the dark coal. Going back the way you came out here, break the boards, and there will be a Welky's Rapier. If you want, go up the stairs, here you will be fired upon by a hollow. Go out to the tower, there on the corpse Welky's black set for a cleric. Next we go to the boss, there will be hollows and a knight.

Go through the fog, right behind it is waiting for you, you can talk to her and leave the location without a fight. If you get involved in a fight, she will disappear and be invisible. Look at the snow, there are footprints on it, so you can track her movement. To make it visible, you need to strike two or three strong blows. If you manage to cut off its tail, you will receive Priscilla's dagger. After winning, go up the steps and leave the location.

Catacombs

In order to get into Catacombs, go down the path to Fire Temple. Go to the cemetery with skeletons. To kill skeletons, you need a celestial weapon; if you don’t have one, you need to kill the necromancers who resurrect them. Explore the cemetery and pick up from the corpses Winged Spear And Two-handed sword. There are also binoculars here, maybe someone will find them useful. Next we go down the stairs along the mountain and enter the catacombs. Here, in addition to skeletons, exploding heads and trap statues fly. We go down the vertical stairs down and to the left (there is a group of skeletons in the opening), we reach the iron door, it is closed, we dive into the opening in the wall, on the left there will be a fire and the first necromancer. They shoot fire, but are easily killed. Here, turn the lever and open the door. Enter the door, kill the necromancer, he is in a building next to the waterfall, he will be visible from here. We go into the building, kill the skeletons in the right room Lucerne hammer, then, where the archer is, go right and go out to the bridge, you need to turn it over, go right and activate the lever. As you exit onto the bridge, a necromancer will be visible in the tunnel. As you cross, there will be a room on the right, fall down there, there is titanite (guarded by snakes).

Go out along the stairs again to the bridge, we pass further, and there is a spiral staircase down, here is another necromancer. Once activated, go back a little and go through the opened passage, we see a bridge and a passage into the fog. We go back along the rock, hit the wall near the statue, there is a fire there. We go back from the fire, but not to the bridge, but into the opening from where we came out, we go down the circular staircase to the very end, there the corpse is still visible, we need to jump to the very bottom in order to find the blacksmith Vamosa, he will then break through the wall in the mountain, and you can go to him along a short and simple path. We leave the blacksmith into a broken opening, there will be a lot of skeleton wheels, so don’t rush. Here you can turn right from the blacksmith and run straight to the boss - .

On the way to the boss (from where you can see Ash Lake) daylight still penetrates. If you have spells or an item that gives light, there will be no problems here. We go to the first light, then another one is visible directly, from it turn right and cross the abyss along the beam, then there will be a giant skeleton, when you kill it, move straight, but slowly, you approach the edge. Carefully look down, a corpse will be visible, a skeleton will be standing nearby, lure it out of there, and then jump to the corpse.

Outwardly it looks like a large skeleton surrounded by smaller skeletons. When you fall down, don’t run around the arena, but stand here, first a couple of skeletons will come running. Kill them with divine weapons so that they do not resurrect, and Nito alone is no longer so dangerous. When he lets out a scream, he hits the ground, after which swords will stick out from the ground, they can hang the toxin. He also makes an explosion, run back and then hit him, don’t run to the other end of the hall, there will be skeletons there that will only add to the hassle. If you kill, light a fire here and pick up Paladin Set.

Duke Archives and Crystal Grotto

We move to the fire in Anor Londo, on the square to the left, past the guards. We walk along the earthen path and enter a long corridor, inside there are two Fanged Boars (the Boar Helm fell from one again), after them there is a fire. From the fire we will come to the crystal dragon and there we will have to die, so if you have souls, spend it. We go up on the lift, there you will be met by the hollows and the magician. We go to the second tier and take the lift to the top. Next we go along the passage, there will be a snake and a knight, and then a crystal dragon. It’s not possible to kill him now, so we just die. Later you will wake up in a cell, there is a fire and the key is with a guard who is sleeping. We open the cage and go down, examine all the chambers, in one you can jump a little lower, there is a key, then we go down. Here you need to turn off the gramophone. Sitting at the very bottom behind bars Logan Big Hat, while there is no key, climb up the vertical ladder here. Kill the snakes and open the chest with the door key to leave the hall. Now from the fire we go to the left and climb up the long vertical stairs, when we go up, an open chamber will be visible, jump down there from above if you need Maiden's Cape And White perfume ring, giving one miracle slot. We open the door and go across the street into another room, in this room there is a fire below. There is a passage to the right from the fire, but it is now closed, we go upstairs again, into the next room onto a transferable staircase, switch and go along another level back to the hall, jump onto the same staircase, switch, go down below, we see an archer. Kill him and go down the vertical stairs. We activate the lever, the passage to the fire will open. Here, examine the rooms, in one chest there are Medium set, coal and the key to the cage with the magician. Activate the lever, a passage down will open, kill the hollow and take Soul of the Firekeeper, for pumping the flask. We pass into the fog and go out into the street, deal with the golems. Save the magician and talk to him.

We run from the fire to the street through the clearing, below, where a pair of golems are visible, along the beam to a small ledge and down to the right there is another golem, then to the very end, we jump down and also run along the edge all the way, look to the left, there is a continuous abyss, but here you can run between the butterfly and to the right of it there is a luminous column, further along the beam there will be a golem, we kill and there will be a patch, from this patch you can see a corpse below, so the road through the abyss is just above the corpse and closer to you, where you are standing. As you go through the abyss, you will get to the shells and, in fact, the boss. Huge beautiful dragon. Immediately run behind Sith and destroy the original crystal that gives him immortality. Run up close to him and start knocking him down, you can stay a little to the right, he will turn, do not fall under his tentacles, try not to be in the crystals that he scatters, otherwise you will be cursed.

Ruins of New Londo and the Abyss

We take the elevator down from the bonfire in the Firelink Shrine, and once you get down, you will emerge into the Ruins of New Londo. Take a little to the right, there will be a staircase down, there is a blacksmith behind bars Rickert of Vinheim. Having seen him, we go along the bridges, when you pass the second one, kill the ghosts, go to the right into the passage, there you can see a corpse with The soul of the fire keeper, for pumping the flask. We go further, go up the steps, across the bridge, then go down the spiral staircase and go right to the fog. We go upstairs (be careful, there are ghosts under the bridge), knock down the stairs here, cross the passage and go to the building, the building is full of ghosts. Next in the hall with the fireplace we go upstairs, in general we go to Ingvard, take the door key from him to drain the water. From there we go down (if someone didn’t take the ring from the curse, it’s in this building, you need to go around the bottom), go from the hall to the right and down the stairs, go out into the street, there are more stairs and we come to the tower, open the gate and drain the water . A passage to the Valley of Dragons will open. Where we left the building from Ingvarda, if you look, you can see the fog from here, this is the way to the abyss and to the boss - Four Kings, don't forget to put on the ring you took from Sipha.

Since the water has been drained, the lower part can be examined. If you go to the valley and kill the dragons, you can take it on the bridge Bandit set and a shield, as well as a ring on the tower. Now, as we came out here, we pass through the buildings into the building. Be careful, there are strong warriors here, don’t run into the hall, lure them out one by one, there will be a demon in the hall. Once you kill everyone, there are two stairs in the recess, go up the right one, you can find coal there. The other exit from the hall is the closest path to the camp, there is also a secret wall here, hit it, there is a warrior there, and there is titanite in the chest. Well, actually, let's go to the boss. You can call for battle Witch Beatrice. We put on the ring, go through the fog and jump down.

Boss - Four Kings. The boss deals relatively little damage to you, which increases with the appearance of all four Kings. You should not fight with everyone at the same time, but one by one, quickly destroying them. Prolonging the battle will lead to your death. A very effective tactic: we give ourselves greater protection, take a fast and powerful weapon and simply ram the boss, periodically pausing for healing.

Demon Ruins

Let's go from Beautiful Lady(where you killed Queleg) down and go out to the location with lava, here activate the fire. We go from the fire a little lower and to the right through the passage, we pass into the fog to the boss - Tireless Warrior, a huge boss, he won’t attack until you take him at the end of the location Seth Daughters of Chaos.

As soon as you take it, the boss will start attacking to make it easier to kill him, in the middle of the location there is a rock and a passage, run to the beginning of the location, let the boss come here, and then run to the passage between the rock and the mountain, stand up to see the boss in this passage, he will launch long-range attacks with his claw, run back behind the rock, his blows are very strong. After hitting him, hit his claw. Having killed, we go down from the boss and go even lower along the rock, there will be capri demons (there are a lot of them here), when you go down you will see a corpse below, jump there, there is a worm, and behind it a fire, you can go around. The fog is clearly visible from the fire, we need to go there, go through the demons and aggressive statues. Before the fog, go to the left, there are calves, and at the end there is a chest with coal. If you are in human form, a phantom will invade - knight kirk. Having killed him, we go into the fog to the boss - Wise Fire Demon. This is another type of training demon, only now it is fiery, and tree branches will interfere with movement on the site. There shouldn't be any problems here.

As soon as we kill, we go to another exit, go down and activate the fire there. From the fire, if you go to the very top, there will be a lift to the spider. Further from the fire we again pass into the fog, there is lava and a boss Demon Stonefoot.

The centipede demon is immune to fire, it is better to have a weapon with magic or electric. As you enter, he will come running to you, don’t be in front of him, he can grab you and chew you, and under him a bunch of his legs can also cause damage to you, roll from his attacks. When you kill, you'll get Orange ring, giving you the ability to run on lava. Next, we pass through the lava a little to the left, there will be a passage and a fire.

Forgotten Izalith and the Crucible of the First Flame

You'll meet me near the fire Solera, further from the fire you will go through a location where there is only lava. There will be demons of isolith here, there are many of them here and they are difficult to kill. They deliver strong blows with their legs and tail, you can aggro three or four of them and let them hit each other. If you need Soler in the fight with the final boss, you will have to talk to him near the fire. You can also open a shortcut from the spider; to do this, you can feed her 30 humanity and be in her covenant. If you spoke with Soler, then you will have to face nine Hausa errors, you need to kill all nine, otherwise your partner will go crazy and be hostile, but at the same time, by killing him, you will receive his uniform, talisman and armor - it's up to you. Walking straight through the location from the fire, there will be two buildings in the middle, in the first of them there is an open doorway - the only place where you can hide from demons, in the second, if you climb up the log, there is a corpse with humanity and a fire, if you need it. If you entered the first building, then looking from it a little to the right, you can see what looks like a piece of pipe, we need to get there in order to rise higher. Next, go to the fork, go down, there is a hall on the left where you can fall down and a long passage opposite, there will be a demon, and behind him Soler

Well, actually, from the fork we’ll come straight to the stairs. Here, if you are in human form, the knight Kirk will invade, and the pyromancer will also attack you. After killing him, go into the fog, to your left. There will be a passage to the boss - Bed of Chaos. We roll down and see the area with the boss, it’s a huge tree. We see luminous balls to the left and right of him, run to the right first to one, kill his appendage there, then the boss will start hitting with strong attacks, because of them the floor will fall through. Meanwhile, you need to run to the other one, the same thing there, and then from the place where we started, run straight through the arena that has fallen in the middle to the heart of the boss. The battle is not difficult, considering that if you destroy one appendage and die, he will not restore them, so even if you die, you will come, and he will be without an appendage.

Well, let's go to Fire Temple to the head of the serpent (Framptu), he will lower you down again, there is a brother at the head (Kaas), but to meet him, you need to talk to Ingvard, after receiving Great Chalice, to take the key to the abyss and fight the 4 kings, talk to him there. If you join him, you will be given the Black Pyromancer Set. Erect a Great Chalice on the Altar of Fire and donate into it the Great Souls - the Bed of Chaos and Nito, as well as the Shards of the Great Souls - the Four Kings and the Naked Sith. The passage to the final boss will open - Gwyn, Lord of Ash.
There will be knights on the way to the boss; here you can collect stones from them for leveling up, although they are no longer needed if you are not going to go through the game a second time. A boss with a huge fiery sword that he swings non-stop. If you can't catch him on counters, then you'll have problems. The shield will not help you, you have to back away and wait for the moment to strike, mainly when he tries to grab you. With a phantom, the battle will, of course, be easier. Once you kill the boss, the game will start again, so if there are any unfinished tasks, do not go to the boss, but finish them first. After defeating the boss, choose the ending:

• Light a fire - you will again give light to this world;
• Put out the fire - you will emerge as the lord of darkness, and in the meantime it will cover the whole world.

Description

Darkroot Garden - location on the other side of the room with the Prowling Demon next to Blacksmith Andre.

Cards

Connections

• Undead Parish
• Darkroot Basin

General Notes

• The fire is located next to the sealed door (hidden behind an illusory wall).
• Demonic Foliage s can grab you nearby, try to keep away from their branches.
• There is a path to the right of the sealed door. If you go there, you will see a body with an item. Be careful, if you take it, you will be ambushed by 3 Demonic Foliages.
• Immediately when you enter the huge location after the above-described room with the corpse, stick to the right side. If you walk 4-6 meters, you will see a large tree near the wall. You can kill a tree to get into secret location with Wolf Ring at the end. Note that you will have to fight or run past two Giant Stone Knights to get to the ring. There will also be 4 Frog Rays that will ambush you when you approach the rock in the large area in front of the steps to the ring. They are guarding the Soul of a Proud Knight.
• If you instead take the left side, when entering the area with the tower that leads to the boss, you will see a small hole that leads to a corpse with a Partizan on it. When you approach him, Demonic Foliage will appear behind you.

Important Tips

• Avoid Giant Stone Knights, they cast a nasty spell that slows you down for 30 seconds and can cause you to die early. If you want to engage them in battle, then the safest thing is to try to hit them in the back after their attack with your shield raised.

Walkthrough

Darkroot Garden has a lot of overlap with other locations in Dark Souls. Here you can go in different ways to various other locations. This walkthrough starts from the bonfire above Andre the Blacksmith

1. Starting from the fire, go down the steps and pass by Andre. Go down the next steps to a large room with a Prowling Demon. You can try to defeat him several times, but if that doesn't work, it's best to run to his left as quickly as possible. He turns slowly and should not hit you if you move quickly. Exit at the bottom of the room to go directly to the Darkroot Garden. Pay attention to the glowing flowers, you will see a lot of them on your way, usually they indicate the main route that you can follow. In the forest, especially after the sealed door, you can easily get lost, so you need to be careful. Go left and follow the path until you encounter the first Demonic Foliage. They don't hit very hard, but they hit fast. Beware of attacking when they swing their arms back, as they will then catch you, and in the early levels this can be instant death. One by one they are easy to fight, but in a group they are dangerous. Block their biting attacks and kill them. Follow the path to the next glowing flower. On the way you will meet a fork, to the right - the path to Darkroot Basin. You can go here if you wish, along this path you can easily get to the location behind the sealed door, saving 20,000 souls, but for this you will have to deal with the hydra.
2. From the fork, go straight ahead slowly, ahead of you is another Demonic Foliage on the edge of the cliff. Can block him and help him fall, but make sure he doesn't grab you. Go forward and turn the corner, you will come to a more open area. In the distance you can immediately make out another Demonic Foliage, but look closer to the right edge and you will see another one sitting there in ambush. When you deal with them, look around, you will notice an object on the ledge on the other side of the abyss, and another one behind the stone in this location. Go forward along the path to the large glowing door. If you buy the seal from Blacksmith Andre for 20,000 souls, you can open it, but the enemies behind it are quite difficult. Hit the wall to the left of the door and you will see a fire. Rest. You might even want to light it up, since you'll be coming back here often for bosses and farming.
3. Follow the path down to the right of the sealed door. As you go down, you will see a small cave on the right. This is a trap, 3 Demonic Foliages are waiting in ambush for the soul. Although the soul is tempting, the hassle with three bushes is not worth it. Leave your soul alone and continue on the downward path. In the next location you will meet a new enemy, Giant Stone Knight. These Knights are slow but strong, and they have a spell that greatly slows down your movement speed. At the end of the path there will be a large clearing. There are 5-6 Giant Stone Knights lying there, and you should be able to lure all but certain two into a one-on-one battle. What is interesting about this location? If you want to get straight to the boss, then skip this paragraph. Far to the right you will see a glow from an object on a corpse. There's a whole Elite Knight Set behind two Giant Stone Knights and 4 Demonic Foliages. You can lure them out, but you will also have to hit the bushes two at a time. From the path, if you go left, you will see a passage to the loot. Walk there slowly and turn around to see a Demonic Foliage jump out behind you. When you are done with it, move on, you will see that the object is located at the foot of a not very friendly tree. Kill the lizard on the tree trunk and collect the reward. We return to the path again, now if you look immediately to the right, you will see a tree, living, breathing. There is another creature behind the tree. Kill the tree and then the frog behind it, thereby opening another bypass. Continue further here until you encounter 1-2 more stone soldiers and large steps. Run up them and you will be able to take the Wolf Ring, which you previously saw on the other side of the abyss. Now head back to the main path and we'll go to the boss.
4. From the path, follow the glowing flowers on the left side, staying away from the Giant Stone Knights that lie in the woods on the right. You should see crumbling ruins and a stone knight in front of the passage. Run around the knights and rush up the steps to the fog. If you do this very quickly, you should be able to reach the fog without having to fight anyone. Enter to fight Moonlight Butterfly.
5. Once you've killed Moonlight Butterfly, cross the bridge and climb the steps to the top of the tower. There are no enemies here, and at the top you will find a Divine Ember and a Watchtower Basement Key, as well as a dead blacksmith. Now you can go to several locations, for example: revisit Undead Burg to explore the lower levels, go to Darkroot Basin, The Catacombs, New Londo Ruins, etc.

Behind a sealed door

This is a very dangerous location due to some hostile NPCs that will attack you when you enter the location. 1 But at the same time, this is a convenient shortcut to Alvina, the head of the Forest Hunter covenant. If you do everything quickly, you can avoid almost all NPCs:

• Run down the steps, sticking to the left edge, run along the slope;
• Try not to engage in fights with enemies, just rush forward (light equipment can help);
• Run to the ruins (left), cross the bridge and go down to the other side;
• In most cases, only one NPC (bandit) should have followed you this far. After you deal with him, you can return back to the ruins to meet with Alvina. If you cross the bridge, go down the steps and turn around the left corner, you will find a chest with The Stone Set.

This is also a great place to farm souls in the mid game. There are several NPCs here different classes, all of which are vulnerable to a parry followed by a counterattack:

• The mage, with a short sword and a round shield, constantly launches Soul Arrows, which are easy to dodge. It is located among the trees on the left side. It is quite weak, so parrying is not even necessary, although it is effective. You can lure him back to the steps. You will get 2000 souls from it, it does not recover, and it has approximately 700 lives.
• Thief, with a dagger and target shield; he has the Ring of Fog equipped, so be careful and don't let him get behind you. If you walk a little forward from the place where you found the magician, then the Thief should notice you. Move slowly so as not to also attract the Cleric who is nearby. Listen carefully, because most likely you will hear it before you see it. May cause bleeding. You will get 2000 souls from it, it does not recover, and it has approximately 750 lives.
• A knight with the Ring of Fog equipped, a few trees after the steps. Don't go too far straight or to the right, otherwise you will attract the attention of other NPCs. It drops 3000 souls and is not restored.
• A knight with a sword and shield, and also wearing Ring of Fog, so you can't engage the grapple. To the right of the place where you found the Thief. Easy to parry and counterattack. It drops 3000 souls and is not restored. Some people confuse two different Knights for one, which is supposedly being restored.
• Cleric with a mace and shield. To the left of where you found the Thief. Can be completely cured if not interrupted. You will get 2000 souls from it, it does not recover, and it has approximately 750 lives.
• Bandit with an ax and Spider Shield. You can see his fire near the cliff to the left of the place where you found the Cleric. You will get 1000 souls from it, it does not recover, and it has approximately 850 lives.
• Pharis, not restored. Find yourself further away from the Knight on the edge of the ledge. He drops a unique bow and hat.

If you decide to farm this place, it is recommended to light a fire, which is located to the left of the sealed door behind the illusory wall. Never engage in a fight with two enemies at once, because there is no benefit, and the chance of dying increases. If you explore the area to the right, you can find a set of armor guarded by enhanced versions of Demonic Foliages.

Farm behind the sealed door

Don't farm this location in human form if you don't want to run into other players. This location is guarded by members of the Forest Covenant. Players who have joined the covenant will be called upon to defend the forest from players who have not joined the covenant. Some invasion rules work differently here, for example multiple people can invade the same player, and the range of required levels is clearly increased. NPCs in this location will still attack you, but will not attack intruders. During an invasion, the entrance back to the bonfire will be closed, so you will not be able to retreat.

After you open the sealed door, you will have access to the easiest and most effective farming in the game. Simply enter the door and start running in a relatively straight direction, luring the Mage to the right and perhaps the Cleric further and also to the right. Continue walking to a clearing where you will see a stone building with Alvina. So you must also attract the Bandit.

Now change direction to the right and run until you attract the attention of the transparent Thief. Now it's time to run back to the sealed door. Alternate between running and regular sprinting so that the NPCs behind you do not lag behind too much. When you reach the steps to the door, do not run up, but jump down to the right onto a small ledge near the rock. Run to the edge and turn around to look at the NPCs chasing you.

Now continue running to the corner of the wall and rock. If you don’t do this, it may turn out that the NPCs will simply jump to you, and nothing good will come of it. And if you do everything correctly, the NPCs will run up the steps, stand exactly above you, then run forward and fly down.

There are several problems that may arise during this farming. Firstly, the Magician may not follow you up the steps, but will stand and hammer spells at the wall. In this case, you will just have to go out and kill him when the others fall. Secondly, the Bandit (and sometimes other NPCs, although this is less common) can often stop chasing you and will simply go back to the starting position. In this case, you can try to lure him back, but sometimes it is so difficult that it is easier to kill him right there. He himself is simple, but beware of his attack, which can kill you in one hit if you don't have heavy armor. On average, a Bandit will fly off a cliff 50-70% of the time, and a Mage 20-40% of the time. The Cleric and Thief almost always fly.

In general, using this method you should earn about 7000 souls in 2-4 minutes, depending on how pliable the NPCs are and how united they are jumping from the cliff. A bandit is 1000 souls, and all the rest are 2000. If you want, you can also capture a knight with a large sword for 3000 souls along the way, but he is a little further from the general route, and there you will also have to face Demonic Foliages.

1 . They will only attack you if you are not a member of the Forest Hunter covenant.
