Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After defeating the Dragonriders, go through the door and light the Bonfire.
  2. 2
    Proceed down the hall and turn right in the small round room.
  3. 3
    Go up the ladder, turn around, and walk through the gate.
  4. 4
    Carefully make your way through the next area, as statues will come to life and attack you. Move slowly to avoid engaging too many at once.
  5. 5
    Once all statues are defeated, go through the door and interact with the coffers to loot a Caitha's Chime, a Soul Greatsword, and an Old Knight Hammer.
  6. 6
    Continue through the next door and ascend the large set of stairs.
  7. 7
    At the top of the stairs, turn right and proceed down the hallway, defeating the pair of archers. Be aware of archers on the opposite side of the area.
  8. 8
    At the end of the hall, loot the coffer for a Firestorm.
  9. 9
    Move to the other side of the area and defeat the remaining pair of archers.
  10. 10
    Open the nearby booby-trapped chest, dodge or block the incoming heavy bolts, and loot 10 Fire Greatarrows.
  11. 11
    Return downstairs and defeat the trio of enemies at the far end of the room.
  12. 12
    Go through the doorway, defeat the enemy in the next area, and then go downstairs again.
  13. 13
    Walk through the door to find a room containing 10 Flame Butterflies, five Repair Powders, and an Estus Flask Shard in a nearby chest.
  14. 14
    Interact with the lever to open a gate in the corner. Go through the door and down the stairs to return to the bonfire.
  15. 15
    From the bonfire, go through the door and walk until you reach the circular room. Step onto the plate in the middle to be lifted to the next floor.
  16. 16
    Through the doors ahead, you will find a prisoner. You cannot interact with him until you have the Key to the Embedded, which is looted from the Demon of Song. Return later with this key to loot a Ring of the Dead.
  17. 17
    For now, open all visible coffers to obtain a Strong Magic Shield, a Fire Seed, a Soul Vessel, and the Key to King's Passage.
  18. 18
    Return to the lift, activate the lever, and descend.
  19. 19
    Use the Key to King's Passage to open the door ahead. Walk down the hallway and into King's Passage.
Tips
  • Move slowly through the area with the animated statues to manage enemy encounters.
  • Be mindful of archers positioned across the area while engaging others.
  • The chest with Fire Greatarrows is trapped; be prepared to dodge or block.
  • Remember the prisoner's location and return later with the Key to the Embedded.
