When you get to end of the bay, jump down on the balcony below.

Inside the cathedral, fight with two white ninjas (one will jump from above). Your opponents are similar to enemies from Undead Burg.

Now shoot the chain of the chandelier - an item which hangs on it, will fall down (you will collect it later on the way to Painted World of Ariamis).

Go up the ladder.

Now prepare for quite problematic fragment - you have to walk over narrow boards and fighting ninjas same time. It is best to lure them one by one and defeat carefully, parrying their blows with a shield.

A problem with ninjas lies in fact, that opponents will throw arrows at you from a distance. So you have to raise your shield and slowly approach them. In the fight on boards you might use the spear because then you attack in front of you and do not move during strokes (so you do not risk falling down).

On the other side go down the ladder.

Use the foggy passage on the left.

Run inside another elevator and activate it.

You'll have to deal with another Gargoyle.

Try to use elevator to get as low as possible. From here you can enter the lower level of the cathedral, where you previously were walking under the ceiling. There is a huge painting there - if you possess Peculiar/Strange Doll, you can enter the secret location (a doll can be found in the cell, where you start a game after return to Undead Asylum). But this is an optional place - you should be interested in the lower part.

Go down the stairs next to the elevator. You'll get to a smaller chamber with the bonfire. Light it on and pick up Ring of The Sun's Firstborn. It is worth noting that from this place you can go to the boss Gwyndolin and leader of Covenant - Blade of the Dark Moon. But in order to get there, you have to put on Darkmoon Seance Ring (you'll find it in Catacombs).

Go back to the elevator and place it in the middle position. Now move down towards the large stairs.

When you going up the stairs, it is worth to shoot pink gargoyles visible on the left and right towers - some of them are so stupid that they will fall down.

At the top of the stairs, in front of the door, you'll encounter two mighty knights. You have to lure them out one by one and kill them. They are powerful but also slow - so stay behind them, dodging or blocking their attacks (if possible).

At all costs avoid a strike with the shield to the ground. After this blow you can inflict a lot of damage to your enemy, because he is completely exposed for a while.
