This brings you down to a small area in which two Hollows will attack you. Before proceeding up stairs to the right, you'll want to drop off the left. Head back down the staircase and through the doorway on your right. On the wall on the left (when facing him) is another Invisible Hollow. There is a corpse near him with a Large Soul of a Nameless Soldier. Exhausting Agdayne's dialogue gives you a good chunk of lore, allows you to learn the gesture 'Have Mercy!', and also becomes a merchant who sells some useful wares. Get to him by taking the stairs on the right, past his Guards line the approach to him but do not attack until provoked -you can attack them without aggroing Agdayne, after you've talked to him. Any form of torch lighting here makes him hostile, including letting the Torch Hollow from the first room follow you. Upon exiting the corridor, you are told to halt and not produce light by Grave Warden Agdayne, who stands on top above a walkway. Take his loot, then go up the short steps and through a thin corridor. Going through the doorway, there will be another Invisible Hollow on the left of the short steps. You can also summon Devotee Scarlett on the right, immediately after descending the initial steps. Inside this room are a few Hollows and 2 Leydia Witches (later, there will be 2 Insolent Spirits here), who can cast hexes and miracles. After taking care of them, you can enter a room with a non-hostile Torch Hollow that will simply follow you, and an Imperious Knight that blocks the entrance to the next door. Head up the stairs (later, one of the Insolent Spirits can be found here) to enter a room with two Syan Soldiers. On the left of the stairs, in a small area inside the stairs, there is also a Invisible Hollow. Exhaust his dialogue for some saucy lore and to send him back down, this makes the bonfire available to light, only for realsies this time. On the right of the stairs is a corpse with a Radiant Lifegem. Trying to ignite it the first time will cause an explosion and Aldia, the Scholar of the First Sin erupt from the ground. Undead Crypt Walkthrough Just a regular Bonfireįrom the elevator from Shrine of Amana, proceed forward into a room with a staircase, and the 'Undead Crypt Entrance Bonfire' right ahead. Some rooms contain urns filled with oil, that will produce a oil puddle when broken.If you choose to run past the two Imperious Knights that create blockade, they will not follow you down the circular hole in the next room.If you return to Agdayne after obtaining the King's Ring, 'Talk' to him and he will give you the Darkdrift katana and the Agdayne's armor set. Bonfires: Undead Crypt Entrance, Undead Ditch.Bosses: Velstadt, The Royal Aegis, Vendrick (optional).Lotsa things adding up, namely Tark's statement of how he went mad over something he lacked, a aspect that is very prominent in Seath's backstory. Rinse and repeat.ĮDIT: side note, I'm more and more convinced by the theory that the Duke of Tseldora is a reincarnation of Seath, even if partial. I'd suggest ranged attacks to kill any stray spiders (the AI phantom is really good at taking care of them) and go up close and personal for Freja - best moment for this is when you see her charging the laser, remove lock-on and run up to the other head and get a couple of swings. I'm going to assume Annie is your current build and it's a STR/INT one. You can even get lucky and find a Sunbro willing to help you out. Only the spiders are a issue and if you summon the AI NPC, he takes care of them for you. You need to be aware of where every little spider is and read her body movement so you can tell if she's going for laser or leg stab or whatever. But again, this also happens in NG.įreja is essentially a very hard tutorial on circling and awareness. For the most part leg stab will OHKO and everything else will take about 2/3 of your HP the hard part is finding a second to sip that Sunny D before a spider finishes the job.

Here's the thing - NG or NG+, there's a very high chance that Freja will kill you in two hits, so it doesn't make much of a difference.

Also, in case of retries, it's fairly simple to rush the boss gate and only have to fight 3 or 4 spiders in the last stretch. Not saying this to brag (because I suck at this game) or question your skill but that, in terms of Dark Souls difficulty, it's not much of a challenge.

I beat all four "asceted" Old Ones at SL70.
