Tomb of Giants - p. 1 | Walkthrough Dark Souls Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

This special place is shrouded in total darkness - so do not even try to tweak up your display. In order to cope with such difficult conditions, you can use one of three options:

- use a spell - Cast Light

- use a lantern - Skull Lantern

- use a glowing helmet - Sunlight Maggot

Once you get the light, go down the wall. [1] Kill the first enemy. [2]

Slide down on the next walkway. [1] You'll encounter 1-2 giant skeletons - it is best to attack them one by one. [2] You'll be also under attack of archers.

An alternative method to get down is to slide down the slope - do this only if you are sure, that there is a walkway below. [1] After 2-3 sliding platforms, you'll meet NPC Patches. BEFORE YOU TALK TO HIM, LOOK FOR THE BONFIRE. It is nearby, a bit lower.

Above the bonfire you'll find a way up (on the slope). You'll encounter there several skeletons and archers. [1] You can also climb up the ladder to get to the small rocky ruins. [2]

Once you defeat a pair of skeletons in ruins, [1] you can climb higher and collect few items - 3 Eye of Death among other things. [2] In the area you'll find also a chamber with many skeletons guarding Large Divine Ember - defeating them is very hard, so you can just go there to get an item (and die to return to the bonfire).

On your way back from the stone building you can reveal a passage in the rock. [1] A bit lower you'll find bone towers - rather easy opponents - and a further way down. [2]

In the tunnel you'll be attacked by two hollow clerics - a fight with them might be tough. Raise your shield and wait for a moment to counterattack. [1] Later on, on the open area, you'll find several items and NPC - Reah of Thorolund. For killing her former bodyguards she will give you a miracle Replenishment and will appear in Undead Parish (she will be selling spells there). [2]

Other bone towers can appear in this area.

An alternative way to solve above situation is to talk to Patches. [1] Tell him that you're not a priest and move to the edge. [2]

Patches will throw you down. Collect items there (a lantern among other things) and look a woman on the left - this is Reah of Thorolund. [2] Her bodyguards are lurking in the area. An exit from this trap leads through the above chamber with 3 bone towers.

After saving Reah of Thorolund in one of two above ways, go past Patches and move forwards (if you made him to kick you down, talk to him to receive a gift). [1] Move along the right wall. You'll encounter probably the most horrible beast in the game - skeleton dogs. Try to kill them as fast as possible. It is best to keep them on average distance or stay behind them (which is not easy because you're fighting close to the edge). Their powerful combo attack can get through every block and can kill an experienced character. [2]

Go through a fog. [1] Stop at the next rock - on the left there is an archer shooting at you (you can't see him). What's more, after a while a knight will come running. Go back to kill him. [2]

Move carefully forwards, still under the shooting. Another dog can be found in front of you. [1] One more is on the left, on a path leading to the archer. [2]
