Dark Souls Complete Walkthrough And Guide – 12. Demon Ruins

Published on November 25th, 2011

Welcome to the complete guide and walkthrough for one of the hardest games you’re ever likely to encounter – .

Head down the hill and take a right when possible, then cross the bridge to get to the fog wall. When ready, pass through.

Boss Fight: Ceaseless Discharge

He will not attack until you pick up the robes at the far end of the path.

There are three attacks. Two are simple tentacle slams (one is a double slam), and the other is a slam/fire blast. The first two can be easily dodged via rolling, but the last is a bit harder. The only way I have dodged is by preforming a running jump to the side when it occurs.

So, once he has done an attack, the tentacle will lay there for a few moments, giving you a chance to wail on it with whatever weapon works best.

Basically, just repeat till he dies.

When he falls, you’ll notice the lava will recede somewhat, allowing access to the bottom area. Once down there, note that in the direction that Ceaseless Discharge was, there are a vast number of Taurus Demons.

If you choose, you can lure them, one at a time, over to you, where you can slay them with ease. Once they’re all dead, you can look in a lava pool in the location where Ceaseless Discharge was first standing to find a chaos flame ember. There is also some other loot on a small island against the cliff.

Once done there, you can head in the other direction, against the cliff, to notice a structure that leads to a cliffside path. Continue down said path to the larger structure, killing the Capra Demons that stand in your way.

Once on the structure, continue forward until you reach the staircase. Head down, but to not go down the larger staircase. Instead stay in the structure and head back in the direction you came from (but on the lower level) to find a bonfire.

Once rested, head back to the large staircase and go down. Be wary of the fire-breathing Stone Demons that will attack. Once at the bottom, kill the Taurus demon, and beware the worm-demon-thing that will pop out of the ground to the right.

These worm demons cannot move, so use arrows or magic to kill it from a distance. Beware it’s acid spray, which will destroy armour and weapons. Use dung pies to poison it if all else fails.

If you so choose, you may go to the left and follow the cliff-side path to find a large flame ember (fire weapons to +10) at the end. If you do so, you’ll need to kill two Taurus Demons, and 5 worm demons. 4 of these worm demons will appear at once when you’re partway there, two on one side and two on the other, blocking you in. Kill as you did before.

Otherwise, head forward from the large staircase and head through the fog wall to face the next boss for this area.

Boss Fight: Demon Firesage

This is actually pretty simple. This guy has all the same attacks as the Asylum Demon/Stray Demon you fought before, with the addition of a fire burst attack. Just attack like you would for the Asylum Demon, but be wary of the burst. Shield if you must, but moving away is better.

This should not be that hard.

Dead? Yes? Good. Now move on through this room to the next area. Kill the Stone Demons that attack, and head up the stairs. Continue along this path, killing as needed, until you reach a central staircase area. Step on the plate in the centre to activate an elevator to Quelaag’s Lair.

When ready, head back down the stairs and continue heading down past the boss room and then down the root to find the next fog gate. Step through for the final boss for the Demon Ruins.

Boss Fight: Centipede Demon

CUT ITS TAIL OFF!

The majority of his attacks are physical and easily blocked, given that you have enough stamina. The only one to watch out for is the attack where he jumps into the air and lands on you.

Otherwise just stay behind or to the side and slash away. His legs are the easiest part to attack, so use that to your advantage.

As for the tail, it comes off fairly easily, thankfully. I do recommend that you attack only the tail and nothing else until it comes off, just to be sure. Once it drops, it will take on a life of it’s own and attack you. It should only take a few hits to kill it then, which will automatically get you the orange charred ring.

THIS RING IS A MUST!

Once he dies, head into the tunnel on the left side from the entrance door, and continue to the bonfire. Once rested, wade into the lava ahead and go toward the root that rises out of it on the left side. Climb up and go a little farther to enter Lost Izalith.
