New Londo Ruins - Lower level | Walkthrough Dark Souls Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
In New Londo Ruins you'll find the boss Four Kings. In order to fight with him, you need the Ring Covenant of Artorias (an item obtained after a fight with wolf Sif).
At the bottom you'll be attacked by Darkwraith - a skeleton armored with a sword. During the fight with such enemies you have to watch out for their grab attack (white magic), a shield (dark magic) and blows' sequences - it is best to attack them from behind. [1] Kill him and go past blue Drakes, heading towards stairs to the left. [2]
Go to the wooden building. [1] Inside you'll encounter next enemy. [2]
Behind the building enter another foggy passage. [1] Right behind it you'll encounter two enemies - try to lure them one by one. [2]
In the right part of the location you can find a miniboss - large slime-like monster. A fight with him is not difficult, if you keep behind him and attack quickly. He spits black goo and attacks with a spear from his "mouth". He also cooperates with explosive skulls, so jump aside when they start exploding.
Behind the slime, another monster is lurking. You'll find there also Humanity and two passages. The one to the left leads to the elevator up (to location you've visited earlier). The path to the right will allow you to collect an item from the upper level of chamber with the slime. So follow it now. [2]
If you take a path to the right behind the slime, you can walk around the previous chamber, but on the upper level. Finally you will get to the narrow stairs leading even higher. [1] There you will find a chest with Very Large Ember. [2]
After collecting above items, go out to the area with shallow water. [1] There are two ghosts lurking around - lure them out one by one. Then explore this area in search for items. [2]
A hidden item - Titanite Chunk - is located behind the illusory wall. It is guarded by another enemy.
A further way leads up the stairs. In this chamber you'll encounter next slime and warriors. First lure out dark knights [1] and then kill the slime. [2]
Take the item out of the chest [1] and head towards the foggy passage. [2]
WARNING - after going through the foggy passage, you won't be able to return, unless you defeat Four Kings or die during the fight. In order to get to the boss, you need also Ring Covenant of Artorias - an item obtained after defeating wolf Sif.
Go down the stairs.
Once you get to the dead end, put on Ring Covenant of Artorias and jump down!
