Huntsman's Copse - the way through the mountains | Walkthrough Dark Souls II Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Now teleport to the previous bonfire. Take the same way to the stone bridge. Once you cross it, shoot butterflies sitting in the trees with a bow or a crossbow. A giant with two curved blades will attack you. It has two attacks: he swings his weapons to inflict considerable damage and tries to pin you down. In that case, he first strikes with one of his blades and then with the other. His weapons stick in the ground, which gives you time to finish him.
Now you can search the entire area to collect items and defeat the remaining enemies. Then go to the opposite side of the forest, to the great bridge. You will see a hut with a broken wall in this area. Go inside, but watch out for the enemy that will attack you from above. After killing him, pull the lever that lowers the bridge making it possible for you to get to the other side.
On the other side, you will see three locations. A closed hut with a bonfire inside, an entrance to a cave, and a stone bridge. First, go across the bridge. You will encounter some mummies and archers on your way - you should be particularly careful with the latter. After a while, you will get to another stone hut, guarded by an undead armed with knives. Kill him and go inside, deal with the two opponents and take the Undead Lockway Key from the corpses lying by the wall. This can open the room with the bonfire, so now it is good to go back there and light the bonfire.
Inside, you can talk to the character sitting by the wall. After leaving the building, go inside the cave on the right. First, take the Titanite Shard and the Magic Mace from the corpse. Inside, there are skeletons waiting for you - they are very easy to knock down, but until you defeat the mage, he keeps reanimating them. Once killed, the mage will not raise again in the future. You should also pay attention to the yellow urns that give out black smoke. It is a curse, so destroy those closest to you as fast as you.
Exit the cave and turn right, once you have passed the wooden bridge. Along the way, you can go to the higher level to collect some items. There are three enemies. Then jump down to the lower level from which you got to the top and run toward the building. Go under the waterfall and go to the stairs leading to the fog. Do not walk into that yet, but go a little bit further and enter the cave. Inside, you will encounter another group of skeletons and a mage standing on the other side of the gulf. You can kill him from a distance or jump to him, however, the second option may result in falling down and dying.
Once you defeat all the enemies, go down the tunnel and pull the lever. This opens a shortcut to a bonfire. Take a tour of the entire cave in order to collect items. Now go back to the stairs and go through the fog, beyond which Skeleton Lords await you. After the fight, exit the room, and then after going through the tunnel, pull another lever to lower a bridge. Go through it and then run through the stone tunnel. At the end of it, behind a wooden wagon, turn right, where you can light a bonfire. You will have to go across toxic water.
