Undead Parish - p. 1 | Walkthrough Dark Souls Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Once you get to Undead Parish, you'll see three passages: a grate (with a dragon behind; this grate can be opened only from the other side), an entrance to a tower [1] and further passage. On the tower you'll find a powerful warrior - defeating him is not easy. You have to circle around him and avoid his mighty blows. [2] If you kill him, you'll obtain Black Knight Greatsword (although it doesn't drop every time) and materials and many souls.

A further way takes you to a location full of enemies.

First you have to deal with a heavy armored Mecha Boar. Lure him with an arrow shoot and avoid his charge.

Attack him only after he turns around and slowly walks away. The beast can try to kick you with his back legs or charge at you again to attack with tusks.

Keep going forwards but be careful, because after passing under an arch, an enemy with a spear will attack you from the right [1]. There will be also an enemy with a sword in front of you. [2] Retreat and then kill them.

Go up the stairs to the right. [1] Raise your shield and eliminate an enemy with a spear, watching out for archers. [2]

Then kill two archers and one or two soldiers, who will come running from a bottom.

A large gate in front of you is closed, but you can find a bypass. These are the stairs down to the underworld.

In a tunnel you'll see a fleeing enemy. This is the sign that they are preparing a trap. Carefully kill them one by one (four or five in total).

Before you go up the ladder, take a look behind tables. In a corner of the room you'll find a corpse with Mystery Key. With it you'll save Knight Lautrec of Carim later.

Go up the two ladders [1] and pass though fog. [2] You can also collect souls from a beam under the ceiling (you have to carefully walk towards it).

On the other side of fog run forwards and then turn right. You'll encounter a knight with a small shield - it is a warrior with a rapier. Do not attack him under any circumstances, because he holds his weapon facing you - this is a sign that he is ready to counterattack. [1] At the end of this branch pick up Knight Shield.

Go to the opposite direction. You'll encounter an enemy standing next to barrels. Kill him and keep going through the corridor. [1] At its end you'll find an opponent. [2] WARNING - once you leave the corridor, another rapier owner will notice you (he'll come running from the opposite side). It is best to lure your opponent to the corridor and then kill them.

A further way will lead you to a junction (you'll see columns there). Now you should turn left because this way you'll unlock a shortcut.
