Your step-by-step guide to navigating the treacherous Archdragon Peak in Dark Souls III. Learn enemy tactics and find key items to survive this challenging area.

Alright, so you've made it to Irithyll Dungeon. To get to Archdragon Peak, you'll need to head across the bridge on the opposite side of the cell block. Once you're there, make a left and drop down to the first floor. Keep going until you find a lift at the end of the hall. Take that lift, and you'll find yourself in an area with a meditating dragon-like statue. This is your ticket! Perform the 'Path of the Dragon' gesture right there, and you'll be teleported to Archdragon Peak.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, make sure you've snagged the Path of the Dragon gesture. You'll need it to actually get to Archdragon Peak.
  2. 2
    Once you're teleported to the new area, follow the path. You'll see a mangled tree to your left – grab the Soul of a Weary Warrior lying near it.
  3. 3
    Continue up the hill. You're about to run into your first real challenge in this area: two Serpent-Men.
Tips
  • These Serpent-Men can be a pain. They use a variety of weapons, and while you can block most of their attacks with a good shield, watch out for their neck-extension bites. When you see them pause and start stretching their necks, back off! Those attacks drain a ton of stamina.
  • Also, be careful when attacking them. They can parry your hits if you're not careful, so don't get too greedy.
  • Keep heading straight towards the tip of the stone outcropping you're on.
