Categories Dark Souls: Locations Add category. To get to the Bonfire, head either right if you've come from The Depths or left if you've come from New Londo. As you go, hug the large wall, following it along until you find an archway. Head inside and you'll find the Bonfire just waiting to be rested at. This will also cure your poison status, should you be inflicted with it. If you manage to defeat her, you won't be dead, and she'll also be summonable just before you go to fight this areas' boss.

If you head further down the tunnel where the Bonfire is you'll find a shallow empty pool with a chest in it. Open this to find a valuable Dragon Scale. You now have a choice - do you want to find some useful items in the swamp, or do you want to rush on ahead to the boss? The latter option seems the easiest, true, but searching the swamp is bound to find you some good stuff isn't it?

If you do want to search the swamp, equip armour that allows you to move quickly the Shadow set is the most useful as it allows you to resist poison and is relatively weightless and equip a shield such as the Spider shield to boost you poison resistance again.

You'll also want to equip the Rusted Iron Ring, which will allow you to move much faster in the swamp. If you aren't interested in a poison-filled slog through murky water, skip ahead to the next section. From the Bonfire, head out through the archway and left onto a safe area. From here, you'll have to deal with at least one Cragspider and a multitude of respawning Giant Mosquitos, so kill any that attack, then prepare yourself for a dash.

Right at the end of this path there is a corpse. Sprint towards it as fast as you can, search it for a Large Soul of a Proud Knight then sprint back to the safe inlet you were just standing on.

You should just make it - if not, simply head back to the Bonfire to remove your poison status. The mosquitos will eventually stop coming, but there's a hell of a lot of them. Just stay on the first inlet and put them all down, but watch out for them coming from both the left and the right. With that done, your aim is to head for a teeny tiny inlet just slightly to the left and straight ahead from the bonfire. So basically head out, turn left, and aim for the area where there's a large pillar.

From here, take a deep breath then plunge forwards through the murk to another large pillar directly across. You'll probably draw the attention of a Cragspider at this point, so put it down. When it's dead, head around the side of the pillar, following the dry land along.

You'll see a corpse in the distance - hop across the brief swamp area and search the corpse for a Large Soul of a Proud Knight. Turn around. See that little inlet? Go to it. From here, move to the next inlet directly across from you there's a bunch of grass to the left of it. Follow the wall around to the left and you'll eventually come to a swampy area. See how the corner of the wall kinda bends around? This useful armor set is even more resistant to poison than the Shadow Armor, so equip it if you wish.

From here, head back to where you found the Large Soul of a Proud Knight. This time, go left, following the wall around. You'll cross a brief swampy area then end up on another inlet with a large collection of collapsed rocks on it. Keep following it round, hugging the wall.

Cross another brief swamp area and keep hugging that wall. Eventually you'll come to an area where a new enemy - the Giant Leech - will be attracted by your presence. These giant slugs are very much the Slimes of the Depths - quite hard to hit, and very annoying when they hit.

They're weak to lightning, so equip a relevant weapon if you've got one. Your next step is a bit trickier - from where you fought the leech, look out over the swamp, facing diagonally to the right. Although you can't see it, there's another small inlet out there. Take a deep breath and plunge into the water, charging towards the inlet. You should make it in time with good poison resistant armor equipped. Over here are three more Giant Leeches.

Stick to dry ground and put them down one by one. Your next step is to then turn around and charge straight forwards to yet another safe inlet. Once you're there, follow it round and you'll see another Giant Leech. Let it squelch towards you, then kill it.

There's two more leeches to kill directly ahead, so kill them too. This next area is mostly swamp, and is absolutely brimming with leeches. The easiest way to dispatch them is using ranged equipment, but if that's not your forte charge into the swamp instead to attract the attention of at least two of them before charging back to dry land. Kill, rinse and repeat. Be wary though - one of the leeches is hiding behind a wall to the right.

When all of the nearby leeches are dead, head across the swamp to the opposite inlet with a glowing corpse. Search it for a Large Titanite Shard. If you're lucky, the leeches might drop these too. From here, head around the corner, following the dry land. You'll eventually come to three leeches guarding a glowing item out in the swamp. Kill them, run out, and return to dry land with the weapon Server. This rare weapon will restore HP to you every time you land a hit on an enemy, so may be worth checking out.

This area holds naught else of interest, so head back to where you entered. From here, look straight ahead. See that inlet you were standing on earlier where you found the first Giant Leech? Run over to that. When you're there, let your poison gauge deplete then run straight ahead to another inlet. From here, look to the right. See that large tree branch sticking out of the swamp? That's something you can stand on.

We don't want that though, so look to the left of the branch to see another inlet to run to. Do so. From here, head left, hugging the wall. You'll eventually spot two leeches guarding a corpse in the swamp. Kill them both, then search the corpse for a Green Titanite Shard. From here, you can now go to that branch you just spotted. It's guarded by three leeches, so run past them onto the safe ground of the branch and kill them. Once they're gone, follow the branch up. At the end you'll find a corpse who holds a Plank Shield.

Ah, but wait, this area is more than it seems. If you hit the wall to the left of the corpse, it'll disappear, opening a hidden path. Follow it along to find a chest, which holds Twin Humanities. Ah, but wait, this area is even MORE than it seems. Sneaky people. Follow it down and you'll be told you're entering a new area - The Great Hollow. Now we don't want to venture into here properly yet, but there is a bonfire just down the path and down a ladder, so head to that for a much needed rest.

Once that's done, head back to swamp. Remember this location for later, as we'll be popping back. When you get back to the giant branch you've climbed up, head down. Your aim now is to get back to the other bonfire you rested at earlier. Remember if you've just rested in the Hollow that all enemies will have returned, so be prepared. If you've got a Rusted Iron Ring and plenty of health, it's easiest really just to sprint directly through the swamp in a diagonally right direction until you find the bonfire.

If not, follow the inlets back. Once that's done, head out from the bonfire, but go right. There's a Cragspider here, so kill it.

From this point, turn to the left and head straight around the pillar to find another inlet with a Cragspider and a corpse on it. Kill the enemy, then loot the corpse for a Large Soul of a Proud Knight. From here, head straight to another inlet. You want to go right at this point since we've already been left. Following the path along will eventually lead you to a new type of Infested Barbarian armed with a giant boulder. This enemy can be very dangerous at distance as he'll chuck the boulder at you, but he's also dangerous up close as he'll try to flatten you with it.

Like other Barbarians he's back-stabbable, so use this to your advantage. Once he's dead, follow the path around to find another Barbarian guarding a corpse, kill this too, then search the decomposing dude for a Great Club. From here, return to the bonfire once more. This time head right, and keep going until you get to the large wheel.

From here, charge like a demented cheetah towards a pillar in the distance slightly to the left. Wait for your poison gauge to decrease, then look around the corner of the pillar to find a corpse. Loot it for a Large Titanite Shard. Well, that's it. That's all the items of Blighttown! Chances are you've been poisoned and died a few times by now, but that's little price to pay for a few items, right? Return to the Blighttown bonfire once more and prepare yourself for the next stage of your quest - the Boss Chaos Witch Quelaag.

Before you go to Quelaag's Lair remember that she's a highly tricky boss, perhaps the hardest so far. In order to combat this it might be a good idea to summon some help from other humans or you can alternatively summon Maneater Mildred, provided you beat her when she appeared.

If you do, she'll be available just outside Quelaag's Chamber. To get to Quelaag, you'll need to head out to the right from the bonfire, over to the massive hill covered in trees that look like spikes. If you've got poison healing herbs, simply sprint all the way there, ignoring the three Barbarians that guard the hill, and sprint upwards into the tunnel you can just make out in the picture below.

In the tunnel, do NOT kill the egg carrying guys on the floor. They're completely harmless, but upon death they'll spawn maggots, which can affect you. You'll also lock out access to a Covenant by slaying these egg carriers, so leave them alone for now. The fog gate at the end of this tunnel will lead you to Quelaag.

Proceed down another ladder to your right, but beware of the Ghoul headed your way. Once down, follow the left path. There, you will find another Ghoul and an Eagle Shield. Head back up the first ladder, then proceed and hang a right to go down another ladder.

There will be a Ghoul waiting for you, as well as another Troll, head down and left into a cave. Head down the cave and go through the fog. Head down the ladders until you encounter a two Firebugs, they're not too powerful, just watch out for the flames. Proceed down the ladders. Kill three more Firebugs, and watch out for the poison flies. Now, you've entered the Swamp. Congratulations, you've made it through the most frustrating bit of Dark Souls. Now you're in the poisonous swamp.

Head right and hug the wall, to find an alcove with the second bonfire. From this second Bonfire, you will want to make a beeline to the hairy mound type thing, with Purple Moss clumps to heal the poison.

Make sure you head towards the right side of the map, and avoid the rock-throwing Trolls along the way. Make your way up the mound, and into Quelaag's Domain. Go down the path, ignoring the docile egg-men along the way. From here, you will encounter a boss gate to the next boss, Quelaag.

Once you've killed Quelaag, head inside the building and turn the level to ring the second bell of awakening, which will open up the gate to a fortress that was next to Blacksmith Andre. Before you leave, go down the stairs next to the lever and open up an illusory wall where the eggs are planted. Talk to the NPC here to gain access to the bonfire. From here, on your way back to the second bonfire, you'll spot a lift to the left.

Head up through here and the ladders up, taking out the bugs along the way. Once at the top, you will see 3 Trolls, take them out and head out and into the Valley of the Drakes. Head past the bridge and to New Londo Ruins. From there, you will be able to hang left and get back to Firelink Shrine , and ready to head to Sen's Fortress. Buy Dark Souls from Amazon [?
