Bonus - The Great Hollow | Walkthrough
In this location you're exposed to the curse. So you might equip a good armor against this ailment (Gold-Hemmed set for example, which can be easily obtained in Demon Ruins).
 |  |
An entrance to The Great Hollow is located in Blightown swamps. Look for a branch leading up the large tree - warning: the entrance is guarded by leeches. [1] Climb up the branch. [2]
 |  |
Inside you'll find a chest and a wall behind it. Hit it to reveal a secret passage (you'll have to repeat this after a moment). [1] Before you go down, light on the bonfire. [2]
 |  |
Run forwards on the branch, heading down. [1] Go down to the wider walkway. [2]
 |  |
At its other side you can shorten your way and jump down to a lower level. [1] You might be attacked by frogs there. Watch out for their gas - it causes the curse, which takes half of your HP bar! [2]
 |  |
Head down, going from one walkway to another. Near one of them you'll find a ladder - you can use it to go down very fast. [1] Use the next ladder in the middle of your way and go to the level with a floor. Watch out for holes - you can easily fall down and be killed! Another problem is opponents - more black frogs. [2]
Go down onto the next ladder, located in the centre part of this "chamber".
 |  |
On the "mezzanine" you'll encounter more frogs. Kill them and go down the branch located in the central part of the location. [1] You'll encounter little mushrooms - they are not tough but watch out anyway. [2]
At the very bottom you'll encounter larger mushrooms. You must be very careful there and attack only after enemies' hits. Mushroom-parents are slow but can kill you with one hit and surprise with a double combination of blows.
An alternative method of killing large mushrooms is to retreat to the path up - after several meters mushrooms will lock themselves on the root. So you can kill them now with your bow.
 |  |
If you do not want to fight with tough mushrooms, bypass them by running to the side corridor. This path leads to Ash Lake. [2]
