Untended Graves Dark Souls III Guide

First take down the shaman to delay the process of transformation.

Destroy the illusion in the chamber, jump down and light up the bonfire. Continue your journey through a gully and collect a Shriving Stone on your way. Turn left at the crossroads, and you will come across a shaman and his three minions, who will transform if you don't kill him soon enough. Leap towards the shaman and focus all your strikes on him (if you slayed their leader quickly enough, they should remain in their positions and wait for your attack). Search the fallen bodies for Ashen Estus Ring and head back to the main road.

Don't underestimate the undertaker who can perform a series of rapid blows.

There is a Large Soul of a nameless soldier by the stone basin. An opponent with two blades should approach you from above. Don't underestimate him and beware of his rapid, double attacks. Use the stairs and watch out for another undead foe on your left. There is a Titanite Chunk, protected by a hound that will jump from beyond the wall, at the end of the road.

Before you move any further, explore the right part of the area, where two more hounds will attack you. A little lower you will come across yet another three of these creatures and a Titanite Chunk (see screenshot). The other part of the path will take you to an area where you first encountered the ice lizard, but this time, you will face two of them.

Deal with the lizards one by one.

Don't try to fight both enemies at once, because some of them may be too powerful. Instead, let one of the lizards notice you, or use a distance weapon to draw its attention and lure to a place where you encountered the hounds. This way, you will be able to duel lizards separately. Watch out for crystal projectiles and powerful charges. Aim for the head and you may be able to stun your opponents, or even perform a finishing blow that deals tremendous damage. Each lizard is worth 10.000 souls and two Titanite Scales.

Dodge magic missiles and run up to your enemy.

Head back to the main road. Before you get to the top (and if you used Ember) you will be ambushed by a spirit of Daughter of Crystal Kriemhild. If you keep her at a distance, she will use magic projectiles that you can dodge, or block with your shield (but don't fall into the abyss). The same goes for your opponent; if you manage to drag her back to the narrow passage, it is highly possible that she will fall off the rock. If not, dodge and use your shield to force her to close combat, at which Daughter of Crystal Kriemhild is rather weak.

Search the left part for a passage.

There is a single enemy at the top (but not a bonfire). The path bellow is full of minor foes and shooters. Don't underestimate them; they may be weak, but their numbers will rapidly prevent you from attacking. Deal with them and head left, where you can jump down and collect Hidden Blessing. Watch your back - one of your foes will try to sneak upon you.

Before you enter the arena, finish off your enemies.

Head to a gate where you will encounter two more shooters and a spearman. Take them down and face Champion Gundyr.

Remember: you can find a calling place of The Sword Master if you defeated him in Cleansing Chapel. Kill the boss and obtain Black Knight Glaive which is located on the arena, on the right of the entrance.

Cleansing Chapel

Let the knight spot you separately.

Finish the fight, open the gate, and move up. You will come across two black knights. Since they are considered challenging opponents, so be smart and lure them out one by one. Don't get caught up in a sequence of strikes.

Sneak up to your opponent and deal extra damage.

The entrance to the chapel is a little further. Leave it for now and turn right, where you will find another knight and a Hornet Ring at the end of the road. Take him down and turn left this time. You will encounter a knight. You will be facing his back, so kill him strategically and collect Chaos Blade, situated a little further (to your left), and a Large Soul of a Crestfallen Knight. Collect all the items and enter the chapel.

You may call this a copy of the original Cleansing Chapel, but instead of a bonfire, there is a Coiled Sword Fragment. Head to a side corridor, where you can buy unusual items from Shrine Handmaid (e.g. Wolf Knight Set). A little further, where Andre is located, you will find Blacksmith's Hammer. Finally, head to a corridor, where you can find Irina in Cleansing Chapel. You won't find her there, but you will come across another illusion (see screenshot). Hit the wall and collect an important item - Eyes of a Fire Keeper that will let you end the game in an alternative way. When you are done, explore Lothric Castle and further archives, or if you have already done it, investigate Archdragon Peak.
