You can collect a Dark Stoneplate Ring when they’re all down, and then had back to the other end of this area to find some stairs leading up to the bridge. There’s a second invisible slave mage around the corner, so this can be very deadly. Look around and you should be able to spot two invisible slaves ahead, and an invisible slave mage sitting down, at one end of this area. Cautiously ease over to bridge and slip underneath it. Far easier than fighting actual humans! If you're lucky, they may drop Drang weapons for you.īefore you cross the field of giants and grab all the treasure, we need to deal with some threats on the bridge to the side. Circle, dodge and block their combos until they do a powerful, slow attack, then punish them. Both of them use twin weapons (spears and maces) and your best friend here is patience and a good shield. Shoot one and lure him back to the nice safe duelling circle in front of the Pontiff’s back door (hurh hurh). They come running at you across the field of giants after you advance slightly, and if you back right off you can usually get them to forget you briefly.

We can’t help you with the invasions (which never stop), but the NPCs aren’t too bad, and you can even control their aggro if you’re careful and lucky. For now, some warnings: if you advance any further into this area, in any direction, you’ll trigger either two Aldrich Faithful player invasions if you’re in Ember form, or aggro two Drang Knight NPCs if you’re a phantom. See the item glow ahead? We’ll get to that in a minute.

With your back to the door, head right to collect a Large Titanite Shard from the corpse, and then turn left and follow the path around. It’s difficult to get them both, so you may need to return later (don't worry, you'll probably die). There are two Crystal Lizards in the arena just outside the Pontiff's back door (hurh hurh), both of whom hold Twinkling Titanite. Do the Blue Sentinels and Blades of the Darkmoon a favour and equip the Way of Blue sigil, unless you’re looking to farm PvP trophies for your own covenant. If you see a ton of red and purple summon signs in this area - a popular duelling arena - you are clearly in the right level range for invasions, and you will be hit with them. If you have just come trotting out of Yhorm in Ember form, be very wary ahead. We start our next adventure back in Irithyll of the Boreal Valley, at the Pontiff Sulyvahn bonfire.
