    Run towards the green light and follow the large coffin downwards, passing a purple light.

  6. 6
    Slide down the coffin near the green light, turn right, and defeat two Giant Skeletons.
  7. 7
    Approach the next coffin, hugging the right wall as you slide down to land on a ledge with a Humanity.
  8. 8
    Drop down to find Patches; ignore him for now.
  9. 9
    Head left with the red backdrop and descend the ladder to reach a Bonfire (checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death): a place to rest and respawn (be brought back to life at a checkpoint after death)).
  10. 10

  11. 11
    Drop through the hole to reach the upper level of the coffin.
  12. 12

    Drop down and collect the Ring of Fog (item: an equipment piece that provides buffs).

  18. 18
    Climb the ladder and kill the two Giant Skeletons.

    Drop down the small gap on the right side of the ladder to grab another Large Soul of a Proud Knight.
  21. 21
    Drop down and climb up again.
  22. 22
    Climb the ladders to exit the coffin, then drop back in to collect Eye of Death x3 (item: a consumable that increases item discovery).
  23. 23
    Climb back out and run up the ramp on the left of the hole to find a Large Soul of a Proud Knight at the top.
  24. 24
    Follow the lights back to the Bonfire.
  25. 25
    Return to the giant coffin and say “No” when Patches asks if you are a Cleric.

    Go to the blue light on the edge; Patches will kick you down a pit.
  27. 27
    Collect the Large Soul of a Proud Knight, another Large Soul of a Proud Knight, and a Skull Lantern (item: provides light).
  28. 28
    To the right, find Rhea of Thorolund (NPC (non-player character — anyone the game controls, not you): a non-player character).
  29. 29
    Talk to Rhea and agree to kill her followers (Nico and Vince).
  30. 30
    Head up the path to the left, killing the Bone Towers (enemy: a tall stack of bones that attacks with arms or slams down; weak to Pyromancies). Collect a White Titanite Chunk (item: used for weapon upgrades) from this path.
  31. 31
    Return to Rhea and report the followers killed to receive the Replenishment Miracle (miracle: a type of spell).

    Proceed through the long tunnel next to Rhea, defeating any Skeleton Beasts (enemy: large, four-legged beasts that swipe, bite, and lunge) along the way.
  33. 33
    Climb the ladder and strike the illusory wall (a hidden wall that can be passed through).
  34. 34
    Run to the right and return to the Bonfire.
  35. 35
    Talk to Patches and say No to receive Twin Humanities (item: a consumable that restores humanity and health).
  36. 36
    Follow the path behind Patches to continue down into the tomb and find a new enemy.
  37. 37
    Follow the path down and through the fog wall (a barrier that separates areas).
  38. 38
    Kill the Skeleton Beast here, then head left and kill the Archer Skeleton.
  39. 39
    Collect the Soul of a Brave Warrior behind the Archer Skeleton.
  40. 40

Tips
  • The Cast Light miracle is essential for visibility in this dark area.
  • Pyromancies are highly effective against Bone Towers and Skeleton Beasts.
  • The Ring of Fog can help manage enemy aggro.
  • Rhea of Thorolund has a questline important for a trophy and sells valuable Miracles. Her shop includes Heal (1000 souls), Great Heal Excerpt (2000 souls), Homeward (1000 souls), Force (1000 souls), Wrath of the Gods (10000 souls), Great Heal (10000 souls), Seek Guidance (500 souls), Magic Barrier (6000 souls), Divine Blessing (1000 souls), and a Talisman (200 souls). Miracles marked with '*' are required for a trophy. Miracles marked with '**' are only acquired from her.
  • Rhea can be found near Petrus in Firelink Shrine after defeating the Capra Demon boss, or she will move to the Tomb of the Giants after killing Pinwheel if you do not speak to Petrus.
  • If you don't buy all her Miracles and Divine Blessing before she moves from the Tomb of the Giants, or if you kill Petrus before meeting her in the Tomb of the Giants, she will not be available for her full questline.
  • If she survives, she will become Hollow in The Duke's Archives in one of the cells.
  • If you miss her miracles this playthrough, killing Petrus early in the next playthrough can help keep her alive longer.
