Anor Londo Dark Souls III Guide

Head from the bonfire and use the stairs. When you're halfway, you should notice a knight coming downstairs. Run up to him and lure him near the bonfire. This way the knight will follow you quickly and when you get to the bottom, you will have more time, before another knight arrives. Use this time and kill your enemy, because fighting two foes at the same time is definitely more difficult.
You will find a Large Soul of a Weary Warrior by the main gate, next to the body on the left. Head right to come across another locked door but first take care of a knight that is patrolling this area. The enemy is stronger than knights that you encountered before, and you should look out for combos that he performs. On the other hand, this one is as aggressive as all the other knights, so use it to your advantage and charge a powerful attack when he rushes towards you. If your timing is accurate, you will stop his attacks and deal a lot of damage. Collect a Soul of a Crestfallen Knight from the balcony and choose the left path when you get back to the main gate.
As soon as you get inside, you will find Giant's Coal that can be given to a blacksmith in Cleansing Chapel. Light up the torch. You will find two possible paths in the dark room. Turn left and you will encounter three deacons, who will shot projectiles at you. Wait for them to hit the stairs and run up to them as quickly as possible. If your timing was good, you will reach them before they fire another wave of projectiles. Kill them fast, because more deacons are waiting for you at the bottom. Search the body for Proof of Concord Kept.
Go downstairs and draw your attention to the fact that three more deacons are situated by the stairs. Hide against their projectiles behind the pillar and rush to your foes to finish them off. Search the room to find 6x Moonlight arrows, and Estus Fragment in a side corridor.
Remember: look out for slimy creatures that will constantly get in your way. Although they aren't much of a threat alone, they often appear in groups, and some even swoop down on you from the ceiling. Try to eliminate as many of them before you actually reach the gate.
When you get to the gate, a giant spider will jump from above. There are two possible ways to deal with the creature. The former refers to fighting in the chamber you are currently standing in. the monster is fast and will try to cripple you with its heavy body. Furthermore, its attacks will charge the curse bar, which will eventually lead to your death. Thus, you need to dodge its attacks and buy yourself some time. Aim for its head and you may even stun your foe for a moment. Throwing knives are highly recommended.
The latter way is to quickly open the gate (run up to it from the left side, locate the device and push the lever). Run outside and the spider will follow you. Turn right and head for a small arch. The beast won't chase you any further, so you will be able to take it down from a distance safely (see screenshot). You may even throw a couple direct blows to finish it off. Defeat the spider and gain Aldrich's Ruby.
Walk through the fog and face Aldrich, Devourer of Gods. If it's the third Lord of Cinder you defeated, you will be moved to the High Wall of Lothric where you will find dying Emma. Otherwise go to the Profaned Capital and defeat Yhorm.
