Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Proceed forward to encounter silver skeletons. Keep your shield up and attack after their attacks bounce off.
  2. 2
    After the first doorway, collect Half Moon Grass x5 on the left.
  3. 3
    Approach the stairway guarded by 5 silver skeletons (sword and bow variants).
  4. 4
    At the top, collect the Renowned Hero Soul, Soldier's Lotus x3, and Talisman of God. Ignore the unreachable treasure for now.
  5. 5
    Proceed through the fog to Area 2.
  6. 6
    In Area 2, ignore the large demon. To your right, check the remains near the well for the Kilij weapon.
  7. 7
    Further ahead and to your right, grab the Storied Hero Soul.
  8. 8
    In the furthest left corner near rubble, find Full Moon Grass x3.
  9. 9
    Return to the archway. Take the left path within the stone walls (the right is a dead end). Be cautious of a pressure plate that triggers an arrow trap.
  10. 10
    At the fork at the base of the stairs, take a left. Engage the black skeleton with katanas using magic or ranged attacks from a distance.
  11. 11
    After defeating the black skeleton, collect the Crescent Falchion +1.
  12. 12
    Back at the stairs, climb to the top and defeat the three silver skeletons.
  13. 13
    Continue forward to another staircase.
  14. 14
    Grabbing the Regenerator's Ring early: At the top of this staircase, you can reach a treasure from earlier. Ensure you can perform a normal roll (light equipment). From the topmost plank, run off the edge towards the middle of the wall and roll just as you step off to land on the wall or fall near the treasure. The Regenerator's Ring will slowly recover HP. You may need to die to return to the top of the stairs or proceed to Area 4.
  15. 15
    From the top of the stairs, slowly descend...
Tips
  • The first two areas are excellent for Soul grinding against skeletons, yielding nearly 5,000 Souls per run.
  • Skeletons are weak to blunt attacks (Great Club, Morning Star).
  • Flame Toss is more effective than Soul Arrow against skeletons.
  • Be cautious of flying storm beasts and their ranged magic attacks. Take them out with a bow or magic when possible.
  • The boss is strong against Magic and Fire; use your strongest melee weapon.
