Navigate Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin's No-Man's Wharf, dealing with dark areas, gunpowder bombers, and finding the Bandit Axe.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin by walking to the left. Be warned that the area ahead is very dark and you may fall to your death if not careful. Notice the gunpowder bombers. If you get hit by a fire arrow, know that its a one shot kill. If you are struck with gunpowder, roll in the water to get if off.
  2. 2
    You'll soon stumble upon a house. Kill the undead on the first floor then head for the second.
  3. 3
    On the second floor you'll find a chest containing a Titanite Shard. Also, loot the corpse on the balcony since it has a Soul of a Proud Knight.
  4. 4
    Make your way to the walkway. You'll encounter a swordsman. Once you've dealt with him, kill the archer next.
  5. 5
    Next, go down to the shallow water and loot the Large Soul of a Lost Undead and a Lifegem from the corpse.
  6. 6
    Walk slowly towards the ruined houses and pick off the lurking enemies one by one. Be wary of the stone house since there is a beast lurking about which you might want to avoid getting hit by since it causes bleeding.
  7. 7
    Enter the first house to the left. You'll find a corpse inside containing three Pine Resin.
  8. 8
    Before heading to the stone house, make sure to light up your torch since the enemies are afraid of the light from the torch. This will give you a combat advantage.
  9. 9
    Once you enter the stone house you'll find a corpse that has ten Iron Arrows.
  10. 10
    Now, climb the stairs and head right. Kill the undead enemies and hound. There are also a few archers on top of the building.
  11. 11
    Before entering the building, pick off the undead skirmishers one by one. Once it's clear, head inside the building and loot the chest to receive the Bandit Axe and Brigand armor set which includes: Brigand Hood, Armor, Gauntlets and Trousers.
  12. 12
    Head up the stairs and get rid of the archers and the berserker.
  13. 13
    Head over to the chest to get a Titanite Shard and Repair Powder.
  14. 14
    Leave the building. Operate the Pharros Contraption in front of it. This will light up a large chandelier that will illuminate the area.
  15. 15
    From there, move forward a bit and make your way to the roof of the house earlier to find a corpse containing a Large Soul of a Proud Knight and three Small Smooths and Silky Stone.
  16. 16
    Get back to the stairs and climb them. Defeat the two enemies here and continue along the path.
  17. 17
    Inside the house to the left you'll encounter an undead hound and a skirmisher. Once they are dead, continue along the path and climb up the next stairs.
