Dark Souls III is famous for its hidden secrets. Many areas contain illusory walls that reveal hidden paths, items, or even entire zones.

  • Firelink Shrine: A hidden path to the roof (jump from the large tree) leads to the Estus Ring and Nestling.
  • Cathedral of the Deep: An illusory wall near the Rosaria's Bed Chamber bonfire leads to a shortcut.
  • Smouldering Lake: Several illusory walls in the Demon Ruins reveal paths and items.
  • Irithyll Dungeon: A hidden path leads to the Profaned Capital.
  • Untended Graves: An illusory wall behind the Fire Keeper's usual spot reveals the Eyes of a Fire Keeper.
  • Grand Archives: Many bookshelves can be pushed or reveal hidden passages.

Always try attacking suspicious walls, especially in areas that seem to dead-end or have unusual architecture.
