Undead Settlement

Exit Vordt's boss arena toward the broken road and raise the flag when indicated to teleport to the Undead Settlement.

Check the opposite side of the rampart for a Large Soul of a Deserted Corpse and then head down the stairs toward the main gates.

Back off as the gate begins to rise, as multiple Starved Hounds will enter the area and begin to kill the praying Hollow Soldiers. Lure each of the hounds individually or pull them with your bow.

Head down toward the gate, turn around, and head down the road.

Defeat the two Starved Hounds hiding behind the overturned carriage, guarding Alluring Skull x2.

At the far end, accept service from Yoel of Londor, an important NPC (Non-Player Character) needed for one of the four endings.

Use the nearby lever to raise the gate, defeat the Peasant Hollow, and then light the bonfire beyond it.

Defeat the two Peasant Hollows near the building entrance and knock down the corpse with a Small Leather Shield.

Head down the stairs and walk toward the Charcoal Pine Bundle x2, quickly turning around to deal with the Hollow Slave that drops from the rafters above.

Head outside to defeat a Peasant Hollow guarding some Repair Powder x2 and then knock down the corpse hanging from the roof.

Use your bow to deal with the Evangelist kneeling before the burning tree in the courtyard below.

Head back inside and shoot another Hollow Slave across the rafters with your bow to draw it over, then clear out the two on the bottom floor.

Grab the Charcoal Pine Bundle x2 in the corner before exiting outside.

Grab Loretta's Bone off the corpse you dropped from the building and carefully deal with the peasants around the area.

Check the area for a Soul of an Unknown Traveler, Estus Shard, and Ember.

Head down the steps to find some more peasants.

Clear the two Hollow Slaves inside the hall on the right side of the building.

Collect the Titanite Shard before entering the building.

As you approach the Charcoal Pine Resin x2, use the lock-on feature (a targeting system) to spot a Cage Spider masquerading as an environment piece.

Knock down the corpse with a Large Soul of a Deserted Corpse above the stairs.

Back upstairs, find a hole in the floor that leads to the Warrior of Sunlight covenant and an Estus Soup, which will heal you for free.

Unlock the door and pass down the hall, dealing with the Cage Spiders.

Defeat the red-eyed Hollow Peasant at the end.

Hug the right side of the building and roll through the gap between the two buildings to find a Soul of an Unknown Traveler.

Deal with some Peasant Hollows while avoiding the ranged magic of the Evangelist in the background as you head down the road.

Defeat the peasant that breaks through the boarded archway at the bottom of the hill.

Enter the building, dealing with the Hollow Slave that drops from above, and then grab the Whip.

Hide from the Evangelist by standing under the ledge, dealing with the Peasant Hollow carrying a large hammer.

Check the side path near the cliff edge to find a Titanite Shard.

Defeat the Evangelist from the ground with your bow.

Head under the ledge and up the ladder on the left to find another Titanite Shard.

The rooftop across from the ladder leads to an area overlooking a bonfire, an item on a wooden ledge, and a Crystal Lizard.

Drop down and deal with the Crystal Lizard first, obtaining a Sharp Gem.

Circle back through the building to the same rooftop and jump to the Rusted Coin x2.

Drop down and light the Dilapidated Bridge bonfire.

If embered (in a powered-up state), you'll encounter the Mad Spirit Holy Knight Hodrick at the bonfire. Pull Hodrick back toward the bonfire to avoid dealing with him near other enemies.

Defeat Hodrick by luring him into attacking before unleashing a combo and backing up.

If you succeed in defeating Hodrick, you'll obtain a Vertebra Shackle, which is for a covenant you currently have not encountered.
