Quick summary

Follow the right side of the building to find a Soul of an Unknown Traveler. Deal with Peasant Hollows and a Cathedral Evangelist, then enter a building to get a Whip. Find a Titanite Shard near a cliff edge. Defeat the Evangelist from below and climb a ladder for another Titanite Shard. On a rooftop, find a Crystal Lizard (Sharp Gem), then jump to Rusted Coin x2 and activate the Dilapidated Bridge bonfire. If embered, fight Mad Spirit Holy Knight Hodrick near the bonfire for a Vertebra Shackle. Proceed cautiously past a Hollow Manservant. In the graveyard, avoid large arrows and lure Peasant Hollows into them. Grab items like Fading Soul, Ember, and Reinforced Club. An ambush awaits when collecting the Blue Wooden Shield and Cleric’s Armor Set; the main objective here is the Mortician’s Ashes.

Walkthrough

1
Hug the right side of the building and roll through the gap between two buildings to find a Soul of an Unknown Traveler.
2
As you head down the road, deal with Peasant Hollows while avoiding the ranged magic of the Cathedral Evangelist. Approach the boarded archway at the bottom of the hill cautiously.
3
Check between the buildings for an item and then avoid the Evangelist’s magic.
4
Defeat the peasant that breaks through the archway, enter the building, deal with the Hollow Slave that drops from above, and grab the Whip.
5
Hide from the Evangelist by standing under the ledge, deal with the Peasant Hollow carrying a large hammer, and check the side path near the cliff edge to find a Titanite Shard.
6
Defeat the Evangelist from the ground with your bow, then head under the ledge and up the ladder on the left to find another Titanite Shard.
7
The rooftop across from the ladder leads to an area overlooking a bonfire, an item, and a Crystal Lizard. Drop down and defeat the Crystal Lizard first (Sharp Gem).
8
Circle back through the building to the same rooftop. Jump to the Rusted Coin x2 and activate the Dilapidated Bridge bonfire.
9
If embered, you will encounter the Mad Spirit Holy Knight Hodrick at the bonfire. Lure Hodrick back toward the bonfire to avoid dealing with him near other enemies.
10
Defeat Hodrick to obtain a Vertebra Shackle.
11
Rest at the bonfire before moving toward the large Hollow Manservant with a large machete and proceed with caution.
12
As you progress into a graveyard, be wary of large arrows sticking into the ground. Listen carefully for the sound of incoming arrows. Lure the Peasant Hollows into the arrows.
13
Carefully grab the Fading Soul, Ember, Large Soul of a Deserted Corpse, Young White Branch x3, and Reinforced Club.
14
Head to the back of the graveyard. A Hollow Slave will ambush you when you try to grab the Blue Wooden Shield and Cleric’s Armor Set. The item you want is the Mortician’s Ashes.

Tips

The Evangelist is difficult to fight on the small ledge due to its sweeping attacks. Defeat it from the ground with a bow.
Hulking enemies like the Hollow Manservant have wooden planks on their backs that protect them from backstabs and are hard to stagger. Lure them into attacking, watch their patterns, and strike during openings.
When grabbing items in the graveyard, be aware of the arrows. The Undead Bone Shard on the small island to the right is particularly dangerous as an arrow impact can fling you off the ledge. Move constantly and ensure you are clear before picking up items.
When fighting Hodrick, lure him into attacking before unleashing a combo.
