Blighttown - p. 2 | Walkthrough Dark Souls Guide

You can go back to a previous part of a location walking on the shaky bridge - while walking stop when boards start to move.

On the other side you'll encounter two enemies. Kill them and go up the ladder.

At the top move to the bonfire and light it.

Now move to the opposite direction - right around the corner you'll encounter two flaming dogs and ghouls. Animals appear to be small and harmless but they can surprise you with their speed and fiery blast. A key to success is to wait until they start to blow fire and then attack them from the side, where fire can't touch you.

Once you pass by the second bracket of the bridge (similar to one with the bonfire), another blowdart owner will start to shoot you. Try to track him down in the darkness and kill with a bow.

Move forwards, eliminating ghouls, who can climb to the same level if they notice you. At the end of your way you'll reach more open area and the way down - there is a huge tentacle attached to the wall. Destroy it with your bow (if you have a weak weapon, do not worry - you'll be able to get the enemy from the other side).

Now go down the ladder or jump down on platforms.

Kill the enemy below. On this platform you can see two ladders. Use the one near the bonfire to go down.

Kill enemies below (there is one blowdart warrior) and go up the stairs around a column. You can pick up Eagle Shield lying on the ramp.

After collecting the shield, return to the start point. Use the second ladder to continue.

At the bottom you'll see two possible ways. Down the ramp or to the right to the ladder up. A right path (high up the ladder) leads to the place where you can safely kill the parasitic wall hugger.
