Doors Of Pharros

When you exit the tunnel, you'll encounter an elephant-man. This fight is rather difficult. The best way to defeat him is to circle him with your shield raised. Attack when you're behind him.

Use the Pharros Lockstone

There's a lot of doors that you can open only with a Pharros Lockstone in this location. The first one is on the right wall. There are three parts, but you only need to place the stone in a hole in the floor to get inside. The lower part of the door will open, but it's big enough for you to get through. There's one more advantage - the elephant won't get out and you'll be able to kill it from a distance. There's a Santier's Rapier in the chest.

Look for an open passage on the left wall. Go through the tunnel to a ledge where you can take a Gyrm Axe and a torch from a corpse. You'll see some closed passages but you only need one stone to open them. There are dwarves that drop Large Titanite Shards behind them.
