The Duke's Archives II - p. 1 | Walkthrough Dark Souls Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Kill the enemy hiding on the right. [1] Head now towards an archer on the opposite side. [2]

Do not run to him but instead lure out his buddy, who lurks on the left. [2]

Go up the stairs and turn right to the library.

Inside you'll encounter two mages - one of them can be attacked.

A second mage is located on the upper level of library.

If you have a good bow, you can try to kill them both from a distance, which will make your way easier.

Run to the left, through a small tunnel (in some cases mages teleport there). [1] On the other side you'll encounter an archer - but watch out also for a warrior lurking on the right. [2]

Walk up the stairs. [1] You'll find a lever on your way - ignore it for now and focus on clearing the upper area where you're heading. [2]

Once you kill an archer and a soldier at the top, return to the lever and switch it. Stairs will turn.

Kill a soldier on the other side of the room. [1] Before you go further to the upper part, you can go down to open the chest. [2]

You can manipulate the stairs in such way, that you'll be able to jump down on the ledge with another chest - there is Avelyn crossbow inside. But this task is difficult - you have to wait for a proper moment where the stairs are turning (activate the lever and run down to fall down on the ledge). So you might execute this only if your character uses crossbows.

Go back the stairs and kill another archer. [1] Behind the arch you can eliminate a mage. [2]

In this section of library the stairs have turned - jump there through a break in the railing.

Go up and open a chest on the right. You'll find inside Sorcery: Strong Magic Shield. Then turn the stairs again and run down to the exit.
