Undead Asylum | Walkthrough Dark Souls Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Pick up a key in center of a cell and go out through the door. [1] You'll see a big boss to the right behind bars. Do not worry though - you'll flight him only during your second visit in Undead Asylum. [2]

Go through a chamber filled with water [1] and go up a ladder. [2]

Once you get upstairs, move towards a bonfire and light it on.

Go through a large door now. [1] A monster will appear on the other side but do not fight him now. [2]

Instead of fighting, flee through a passage on the left.

In the next chamber, light another bonfire. [1] Follow a long corridor until you encounter bowman at its end. Pick up a shield on your way, to defend yourself against his shots. [2]

Run to the bowman and after he escapes, pick up a mace.

Run up the stairs [1] and go through a fog. [2]

On the other side, turn right and go up the stairs. A monster above us will throw a large ball. Jump to the right in order to avoid it.

The ball destroys a wall. [1] Go inside and talk to the knight. Choose and affirmative answer to his question. [2] He will give you a key and Estus Flask.

Go down the stairs [1] and open the door. [2] You will unlock a shortcut to a bonfire this way, so you can use it to replenish your HP. Remember thought, that after each usage of a bonfire, monsters return to game world.

Go back upstairs and move one level up (to the place where a ball was thrown). Kill the enemy here and open another grate. [1] Lure enemies around the corner to avoid bowman shots. [2]

Run past large portion of fog and kill a bowman. [1] In a passage in front of you, you'll encounter an opponent wielding a shield and a sword - defeat him. [2] The door is close right now - we'll get a key several hours later.

Asylum Demon lurks behind fog. After the fight, open a large door.

Run up the hill.

You might notice that there is a small nest to the right. In it lives Sparkly, NPC who exchanges items.

Go to the very top. A bird will take you further.
