New Londo Ruins - p. 1 | Walkthrough Dark Souls Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

In New Londo you'll encounter ghosts. In order to kill them you have to possess a cursed weapon, be cursed or use the item Transient Curse, which allows you to hurt them. Many such items can be found in corpses in New Londo. Killed ghosts also drop such item. Each Transient Curse runs for about 5 minutes so watch out not to waste them.

Enter this location only after obtaining Lordvessel!

Go down the elevator from Firelink Shrine and head down, towards wooden bridges, collecting items along your way. [1] The paths leads near the water - do not fall down. [2] On the other side of bridges you can go down to the shallow part of the lake.

During the fight with ghosts you have to make sure, that you can hurt them. Fight methods are described above - the easiest one is to use Transient Curse.

After killing two first ghosts, go up the stairs. You'll encounter there more enemies. [2]

Watch out after walking on the bridge and between walls. [1] Ghosts prepared a trap there - once they go out the ground, retreat and kill them one by one. [2]

Go to the end of the corridor and turn left. Go down the spiral stairs. [1] At the bottom the path turns right near the columns. First you can pick up an item in front of you, on a damaged part of the wall. There is a ghost lurking inside the rock (ghosts can attack THROUGH physical objects, so lure him out). [2]

Walk along columns. You can take a look around the corner, where you'll find another item guarded by banshee (it attacks with shouts). Later on go through a foggy passage [1] and climb up the stairs. [2]

On the stairs you can see one of ghosts, preparing a trap - it is located over columns leading to an item. [1] In this place you'll also find a descend down the ladder. [2] This path leads to another optional item.

Go left, between columns. [1] The path will turn left and then down the stairs. [2]

Right behind the corner [1] you'll find an entrance to the building on the right. [2]

You have to be very careful in this place - from below (and more precisely, from water) you can be attacked by many ghosts. Remember that they can attack you also through the wall or the floor! [2]

After eliminating bigger group of ghosts from a bottom part of the location, go through the door and look for a chamber with large vases.
