Smouldering Lake Cont.

Continue your Dark Souls III journey through Smouldering Lake. Learn how to handle Demon Clerics, Smouldering Ghru, and find key items like Embers in this walkthrough section.

Alright, so you've dealt with High Lord Wolnir, and now it's time to push further into the Smouldering Lake area. Head back to the Demon Ruins bonfire – that's your jumping-off point for the rest of this section. From there, make your way down the stairs. You'll find yourself in a hall with a couple of Demon Clerics and some fiery friends they like to summon. Now, these guys can hit hard with their melee and those fireballs are no joke. The best approach here is to not engage them head-on. Instead, sneak around to their backs and get your hits in. It's much safer that way.

After you've dealt with them, make sure to grab the Ember that's lying around. Keep moving down the hall, and you'll run into four Smouldering Ghru. These are basically tougher versions of the Ghru you might have fought back in Farron Keep. When you peek around the corner, you'll see them. Don't try to fight all four at once; that's a recipe for disaster. Instead, try to pull them out one by one. That makes the fight much more manageable. Pay special attention to the conjurator type – the one that spews Poison Mist. You'll want to rush that one down quickly before it can fill the area with poison.
