Dark Souls Complete Walkthrough And Guide – 2. Firelink Shrine

Published on November 8th, 2011

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

Light and rest at the bonfire where you land. There are a number of things you can do in this area, a number of items to collect, and a number of possible places to go. From the get go, explore the area (avoid the graveyard otherwise the skeletons will kill you.)

There are a number of items in this area that are of real importance: the winged spear, the zweihander, and the binoculars. The spear is on the far right against the cliff edge. You will have to traverse a small path between the headstones to get to it. The Zweihander is down the main path next to a large headstone, and the binoculars even farther back, in the deepest part of the graveyard next to the sheer drop.

There are also some souls around in the graveyard but those are of less importance, look around if you want them.

There is also an area with a number of chests if you drop down the elevator shaft to the right and in front of the fire (note this is not the elevator under the bonfire. It just looks like a double archway, past the room with the man and all the pots.) You may also notice the large knight in the area with the pots. He is the leader of the Way of White covenant, which you can read more about in the covenants section.

Once you’re done looking around, and do look around, head to the right of the fire, up the stairs that border the cliff (you should see a bridge off in this direction). Now there are some simple enemies here, but you shouldn’t have too much trouble, just be wary of the hollow up on the top, as he will throw firebombs down at you when you’re close enough.

If you can make the jump to the underside of the bridge past the shield knight, then theres a ring of sacrifice (see items) at the end. Otherwise fight your way to the top, collecting items as you see fit, and hop onto the bridge and in the doorway to the aquaduct. Kill the rat behind you if you want. Or go forward and in the doorway to the left to enter the Undead Burg.
