Navigate the treacherous Lothric Castle in Dark Souls III. Discover enemy placements, essential items like Titanite Scales and Chunks, and strategies for tough encounters.
Alright, so you've made it to Lothric Castle. It's a big one, and honestly, a bit of a maze if you're not careful. We're going to tackle this section step-by-step, focusing on what you need to grab and who you need to watch out for.
Walkthrough
- 1First things first, head back to the Dancer of the Boreal Valley bonfire. From there, climb that ladder you've used before. This time, when you reach the fork, take the left path. This leads you towards the Consumed King’s Garden.
- 2Once you're in the Consumed King's Garden, find the building on your right. Instead of doing what you might have done before, this time ride the lift all the way to the top.
- 3As soon as you arrive, check the base floor. You'll find a valuable Titanite Scale here. Grab it!
- 4Now, head up the stairs. You'll run into a couple of Hollow Slaves. Deal with them, then keep going up another set of stairs. Up here, you'll find some Lothric Priests. Take them down.
- 5After clearing out the priests, you can grab a Titanite Chunk. Then, open the door nearby. This will lead you back towards the entrance area of the Consumed King's Garden.
- 6Okay, let's backtrack a bit. Head back through the Consumed King's Garden until you find a side room. Inside, there's another Titanite Scale waiting for you, along with more Lothric Priests.
- 7Now, pay attention: from where you found that last Scale, enter the room directly across from the ladder. Inside, you'll face a Lothric Knight and another Lothric Priest. Your priority here is to rush the priest. If it starts buffing the knight, things get much tougher. These knights are tougher versions of the ones you fought on the High Wall, with more health, but you should be able to handle them if you focus the priest first.
- 8After you've dealt with them, you'll find a Soul of a Crestfallen Knight on an altar. Collect it.
- 9Enter the next room. You'll see stairs leading up. Wait at the base of these stairs for another Lothric Knight to approach. It's best to back up into the previous room to fight it. This way, the Lothric Priest you might have missed or that's still alive in the other room can't interfere or buff it.
Tips
- Always keep an eye out for those Lothric Priests. Their buffs can turn a manageable fight into a real headache. Prioritize taking them out quickly.
- Don't forget to grab all the Titanite Scales and Chunks you find. They're crucial for upgrading your gear, and you'll need strong weapons for what's ahead.
- Lothric Knights hit hard, so don't get greedy with your attacks. Learn their patterns and strike when you have a clear opening.
