A complete walkthrough for Huntsman's Copse in Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin, detailing enemy encounters, item locations, and shortcuts.
Walkthrough
- 1From the start, kill the initial enemy and enter the cave. Avoid the green poison falling from moths; ranged attacks can eliminate them.
- 2In the next tunnel, kill the enemy and proceed down the path, then ascend the staircase on your right.
- 3Go through the door, defeat the nearby enemy, and continue down the path, being mindful of ranged attackers.
- 4Look down to spot enemies below. Drop down to the left section and eliminate them. Collect the Bandit's Knife from a corner.
- 5Kill the two enemies upstairs.
- 6Descend the stairs on the opposite side to the next floor. Collect a Soul of a Nameless Soldier and a Lifegem near a hole.
- 7Return upstairs and climb the ladder on your right. Defeat the two attacking Bandits.
- 8Jump down to the lower floor ahead and loot a Lifegem and Poison Moss.
- 9Jump down to the next area below, accepting minor fall damage. Ascend the hill and re-enter the structure.
- 10Head left, walk to the end of the path, pass through the door, and kill the encountered enemy.
- 11Continue left. Ignore an opening to your right for now. Kill the enemy that pounces as you round the corner, then collect the Cracked Red Eye Orb.
- 12Enter the opening you previously passed. Climb down the ladder at the end.
- 13Go around the corner to your left (opposite the tree) and light the bonfire in a wall gap.
- 14Return outside and strike the tree on your left to create a shortcut connecting to the start of the area.
- 15Perform a 180-degree turn and go around the corner again. Proceed down the path, preparing to fight a pair of enemies.
- 16Continue towards the left of the bridge. Be ready to fight a Bandit near an item on the ground. After defeating the enemy, loot the Large Soul of a Lost Undead and a Small Orange Burr.
- 17Cross to the other side of the bridge, kill the attacking enemy, and jump down into the new area to your left.
- 18Be wary of the red object at the top of the trees, which emits poison. Loot the Lifegem beneath the first poisonous tree.
- 19Approach and kill the enemy quietly, then collect the Aromatic Ooze behind it. Loot the last corpse for another Lifegem. Remember the moth above spraying poison.
- 20Proceed to the next bridge, anticipating rogues in the trees and an archer ahead. Fall back to engage them individually if necessary.
- 21Pull the lever inside a room to the left to lower the bridge. Be cautious of a rogue dropping from above to ambush you.
- 22Before crossing the bridge, look towards the ledge facing the first bridge. You'll see an opening atop a closed room. Enter and loot a Soul Spear, two Poison Moss, and a Green Blossom from the bodies within.
- 23Follow the tunnel leading outside and backtrack. A nearby stone bridge will lead you to the Undead Purgatory.
