Depths - p. 1 | Walkthrough Dark Souls Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Depths can be accessed with stairs next to the arena, where you were fighting Capra.

Once you see ninja at the bottom, you have to watch out for the left side - there is a second warrior lurking around the corner.

You will reach a junction - a stairs leading to the side tower.

Inside the tower youll find a shortcut to a previous location and more precisely to an aqueduct, so you might take a look there - Depths - p. 1 | Walkthrough - Walkthrough - Dark Souls Game Guide & Walkthrough

Inside the tower you'll find a shortcut to a previous location and more precisely to an aqueduct, so you might take a look there. Watch out for an archer on a mezzanine. You can reach the aqueduct with a passage on the upper floor.

Inside you'll encounter a NPC- Undead Merchant Female. It is worth to buy Purple Moss Clump - it can be used in Depths to remove poison. Keep running along aqueduct until you reach the door. Open it unlocking a passage to Firelink Shrine. [2]

After shopping (these Purple Moss Clump will be really useful!), go to Depths. Look for the door lighted with two torches, next to the tower entrance.

Go down - Depths - p. 1 | Walkthrough - Walkthrough - Dark Souls Game Guide & Walkthrough

Go down. [1] You'll get to the chamber with columns, full of enemies. Be careful here - one of the enemies lurks behind the stairs (once you descend, he will stand right behind you - you can find a souls there also). [2]

When you go to the lower level, you have to watch out again - there are many enemies lurking in the area. It is best to lure them out one by one. These are regular zombies, but they can kill you because they can use battle frenzy (a combination of several).

A further way leads down the stairs - Depths - p. 1 | Walkthrough - Walkthrough - Dark Souls Game Guide & Walkthrough

A further way leads down the stairs. [1] Be very careful there - first lure out two dogs and kill them. [2]

You can now face the Butcher. It is a huge guy with a cleaver. Blocking his attacks is problematic. So it is better to circle around him and keep him on a distance and attack him after his powerful but slow blows.

You can also wait until the butcher hits a ground with his cleaver - Depths - p. 1 | Walkthrough - Walkthrough - Dark Souls Game Guide & Walkthrough

You can also wait until the butcher hits a ground with his cleaver. [1] Then jump behind his back and perform an attack from behind. [2]

Open a chest next to the butcher's table. There is Large Ember inside.

You can act in two ways now - Depths - p. 1 | Walkthrough - Walkthrough - Dark Souls Game Guide & Walkthrough

You can act in two ways now. Behind the Butcher's table you can find a hidden passage - it can be seen after breaking down chests. If you use it, you'll find a Spider shield and a place from which you can easily kill a giant rat (using a bow). In this way you can also get to further part of Depths.
