Firelink Shrine | Walkthrough Dark Souls Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Once you get to Firelink Shrine, light a bonfire. Firelink Shrine is one of the central locations, with many crossroads. Before you can go any further, we will describe each of them.

If you use stairs down behind a bonfire, you'll get to New Londo Ruins, full of ghosts. This way leads also to a woman, who augments Estus Flask (which requires a special item) and to a blacksmith (an elevator down).

If you use a passage to the left, you'll get to a giant crow and further to a cemetery with skeletons. This way leads also to Catacombs.

Another passage to the right leads to not working elevators. You will run them in a later part of the game, from Undead Parish.

The last way leads up the stairs (behind a large tree). You can get to the aqueduct above and Undead Burg. You should go there now.
