Crystal Cave | Walkthrough Dark Souls Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Crystal Cave is a fairly tricky place - it is easy to fall down there. Another difficulty is that you'll have to walk over invisible walkways, which are recognizable because of sounds and snowflakes falling on them.

In cavern you'll encounter also giant butterflies - if you do not approach them, they won't hurt you!

After entering the cave, turn right and fight with a golem. [1] A path down will turn to the right - follow it for a while. [2]

You'll get to the zigzag shape ground area. Here you'll see first invisible walkway to the left (or rather splashes of crystals and snowflakes falling on it). In the background you'll also hear a gentle sound of cracking crystals.

Walk on the invisible walkway [1] and go to its end. Pick up Humanity. [2]

Go down with the 'conventional' path, which turns right.

At the bottom go to the end of the rock - you should see a butterfly below. The invisible path leads behind the sharp stalagmites. [1] Go straight from the transverse platform. [2]

On this walkway you have to deal with a golden crystal golem. The enemy is tough and you have not too much space - so it is best to run towards him, making some place for retreating. Keep him on a distance and attack after his blow and then retreat.

After killing the first golem, you can walk over the extension of invisible path further, [1] to the parallel crystal. [2]

You'll encounter there another golden golem and Blue Titanite Chunk.

Then return to the place, where you were fighting first golden golem and follow to the end of the crystal on the rocky ledge. Go to its left side (you'll see a butterfly in a distance above). [1] Look for an invisible walkway here - it should be in front of you. Jump onto it and turn around - in a tunnel you'll see three lizards with resources. [2]

Go through the tunnel towards the butterfly until you reach Blue Titanite Slab - but the way is not easy because an invisible path on this side turns in the middle!

The correct path leads to the opposite side over next invisible walkway (you'll see a butterfly in a distance to the left).

Same here, watch out for a slight left turn at the end.

On the other side you can turn left to pick up a soul. [1] A way to the right leads to the boss in a large chamber full of men-eater shells. [2] During the fight with them watch out for a double sequence of blows and swallowing attack.

When you defeat 5 shells, go inside the cavern to deal with Seath, The Scaleless. Alternatively you can bypass the shells and run into his chamber (if you do this for a first time, some of shells can follow you there - next time the arena will be cut off by fog).

Once you kill Seath, use the bonfire.
