After the fight with the Looking Glass Knight, head to the centre of the circle and go down using the lift.
When at the bottom, run straight through the underground tunnel. Turn right at the end of it and destroy the vines blocking your way to a treasure. Loot the corpse for a Greek Blossom.
Run towards the other side. Head straight through the tunnel until you reach a bonfire, which you should light.
Go down the stairs to a lower level and open the door. On the left, you will notice a corpse hanging on a tree. You can destroy the tree and loot the corpse after it hits the ground. Run towards a cave and destroy the barrels and a poisonous mushroom when inside. Open the chest and take Wilted Dusk Herb and Sceptic's Spice.
Go down all the way to the bottom of the stairs. Here, another enemy awaits you. It is a white knight. He fights similarly to all other knights, so use the combination: block - dodge - hit from behind. You will also encounter lizard men hiding in the water. It's sometimes difficult to notice them, so be careful not to be ambushed. You can see their backs sticking out of the water. Try not to go far away from the trail, because the edge is irregular and you can easily fall down.
Run straight ahead and go inside a hut. Talk to the singer, who is sitting near one of the walls. Go outside on the other side of the building.
Head straight, looking out for the lizard men. About halfway through the path, you will notice some white knights. Lure them to you one by one, preferably using a distance weapon. After killing all of your enemies, collect the loot and enter the cave.
You will notice a cave to your left, with quite a few lizard men inside. If you happen to have a bomb with you, you can use it to deal some initial damage to them. After killing all of the enemies, open the chest and take Twinkling Titanite and Smith & Silky Stone.
Kill the poisonous mushroom outside the cave and head forwards. You will notice a fog at the end of your path.
You will see a path in front of you, with some blue lights glowing. The first thing which you should do here, is to light a bonfire. It is located in the ruins nearby. One of the lizard men awaits you near the entrance.
After lighting the bonfire, continue pressing forward. In this location you will encounter a new type of enemy. These are mages, slightly shorter, but smarter than those in Brightstone Cove of Tseldora. It is best to try to ambush them. If however, it is not possible, use distance weapon. Hide behind columns and walls to avoid the projectiles that track your movement. Have your sight active all the time. Lean out - shoot - hide. Repeating this combination will surely bring you victory.
Follow the path all the way. Behind a ruined wall, you will se a mage standing on a small island. Kill him and hide behind the columns. Kill the mage standing on a path near the hut, then run towards him and go inside.
Loot the corpse near the wall and go outside on the other side of the building. Lure the white knight to you. After killing him, use distance weapon to get rid of the mages around you. There are four of them. One is standing behind the columns, one on the bridge, one on an island near the bridge and one is guarding the entrance.
You still have to defeat two more white knights to reach the fog. When you are in the cave, destroy the poisonous mushrooms located near the left wall. Head to the left and light a bonfire.
Destroy another small mushroom. Use a bow, a crossbow or spells to get rid of it. You will also see a bigger mushroom producing a lot of poison. Don't get to close to it, because the acid can damage the items in your equipment.
After you go outside, watch out for the mages standing on a circle. Kill them using distance weapon and then head towards their location. Kill the lizard men and collect the loot. Watch out not to fall down. Run along the path and kill another mage. When you reach the hut, talk to the singer and go through the fog. The Demon of Song awaits you.
After killing the boss, go outside through a tunnel. When you reach the building, head towards another one along a narrow path. A flight of spiral stairs leads to it. Light a bonfire inside. Now, you can return to Drangleic Castle if you want. If you take the lift all the way to the top, you will be able to open the peculiar cage. After freeing the prisoner inside, you will receive Ring of the Dead.
Return to the latest bonfire and go up the stairs. Open the door and run along the ledge. Kill a mage standing at the end of your path and enter the building. When inside, talk to the singer and return to the bonfire. Go downstairs and open the door located in the ruins. Use the lift to go all the way to the bottom and light a bonfire underneath the stairs.
