Untended Graves

Your expert guide to navigating the treacherous Untended Graves in Dark Souls III. Discover hidden items, defeat formidable foes, and uncover the secrets of this dark reflection of Firelink Shrine.

Alright, so you've made it to the Untended Graves. Think of this place as a twisted, darker reflection of the Cemetery of Ash and Firelink Shrine you've already been through. It's a bit of a mind-bender, but stick with me and we'll get through it.

First things first, when you exit the bonfire area, grab the Shriving Stone. Then, hang a left. You'll run into a Corvian Storyteller and three regular Corvians. Here's the trick: take out that Storyteller from a distance if you can. If you don't, it'll make the other three go all berserk and super aggressive. Once they're dealt with, you'll snag the Ashen Estus Ring.

Just a heads-up, focus on that Storyteller first. It makes the cleanup much easier and you'll get that sweet ring.

Keep pushing forward. You'll find a Soul of a Crestfallen Knight just ahead. To your left, there's a Cathedral Grave Warden chilling with a couple of Starved Hounds near a Titanite Chunk. Head down the stairs – there's another Grave Warden patrolling the middle of this area. Grab another Titanite Chunk near some more Staved Hounds.

Now, about that watery path… it leads to two Ravenous Crystal Lizards. These guys are tricky. Your best bet is to split them up. Use a ranged attack to pull one away, then lead it back to that open area we were just in. This gives you way more room to fight without the second lizard joining the party. Once you've dealt with the first one, you can go back for the second. Defeating both will net you a nice reward.
