Prepare to Die Again Bed of Chaos

Inbound Lost Izalith

Welcome To Hell - Finding the leave from the boss arena can exist a little frustrating, not because of any enemies or death-defying path (well, not since yous have the Orange Charred Ring), but because information technology's a little difficult to identify the hole on the wall on the left of the picture below. This hole is the opening of a tunnel that takes you to the entrance of Izalith.

No Sun No Cry - Upon inbound from the Centipede Demonboss loonshit, y'all'll discover a bonfire on your immediate right. If you lot've correctly followed Knight Solaire'southwardquest line thus far, you'll likewise observe him sitting a few feet from thebonfire, mumbling to himself. Continue forward on the path until the terminate then cross the lava to climb the tree root ahead, and you'll shortly come across a big lava filled area dotted with ruined buildings, a few roots and other small pieces of land. You may also notice the many Bounding Demons  inhabiting the area, we'll worry about that in a minute.

Before you gear up out into this area, it is essential to equip the Orangish Charred Ring you obtained from slaying theCentipede Demon, to make you more than impervious to lava damage. Even with the relatively safe path, making information technology through virtually of the field via the roots that cross it, y'all will need this ring equipped at sure points to survive a brief walk through the lava. Information technology is of import to note that while the Orange Charred Ring will reduce the damage you lot receive from lava, your equipped armor volition all the same degrade at the usual rate from lava impairment, so ensure you repair your armor as whenever you can.

Bounding Demons are the main threat while traversing this lava field, here are a few key tips and notes on them:They're fast, massive, and hard-hit.

• Luckily, they can damage each other and don't respawn.
• They are adequately non-ambitious unless you lot either get too close or attack them.
• At that place are various ways to lure one out at a time for the kill or, if you adopt, yous can also entirely ignore most of them.
• To take them on, a good bow and a full stock of arrows is recommend every bit long as you lot can find a rubber place to stand where they tin't reach you lot.
  • There are diverse places in the field where they volition have difficulty reaching y'all; such equally the archway to the field just past the first bonfire (stand up upwards on the root on the left side and lure them in with arrows), and inside and atop the towers. Take out equally many every bit you can at range before y'all enter the field, and so start exploring.
  • When using a bow and arrows, beware that while you may have only aggravated one of them, a poorly placed arrow or a clever dodge from the hostile demon, can hateful accidentally hitting and inciting the aggro of another. This is probable to happen as there are too many of them, so be prepared to suddenly have to deal with multiple.
  • If you have no arrows or want to avert fighting them at all and then it'due south recommended to follow the path indicated by the roots.

Crossing the Lava Field

North.B. Although the lava itself will only exercise about 3 damage per tick, straying off the route is extremely dangerous due to the bounding demons. Also, one's armour degrades at a rather alarming rate, potentially cost a fortune in repair.

Beginning Tower - Following the roots across the lava toward the first belfry you should notice a Soul of a Dauntless Warrior effectually a column, on route (no pun intended). Follow the root until yous reach a  patch of the footing uncovered by lava - here you will notice another Soul of a Brave Warrior -, leading to the start tower, where you'll run across some Stone Demons, and possibly a Bounding Demon as you circle around it. On the left of the tower, yous'll detect an opening leading within to a chest property a Soul of a Great Hero. You can also use this sheltered area to shoot arrows at any other nearby Bounding Demons safely.

Boundy Hunter - From here, continue left effectually the tower to rejoin and continue forth the root path; which will lead upward to a ledge and a broken bridge on the 2nd tower. This is a keen sniper spot to take out more of the Bounding Demons - what I've found to be nigh effective is to locate the two items while on tiptop of the tower; yous'll encounter them off in the distance while standing on the opposite side of the tower where the broken bridge is, along with the corpse holding Twin Humanities. Equip a bow, and commencement shooting as many Bounding Demons equally y'all can, knowing you are out of harm's reach - literally - while they cluster trying to get you, dealing harm to one another with their attacks (I took out 10 of them in less than a few minutes). Once the declension is clear, drop down, run out and merits your prizes: the two Divine Blessings.

2nd Belfry - Drib off the side of the bridge, onto the base of the belfry, and take a whack at each wall effectually the tower, until y'all discover theillusory wall. In here lies a 2d bonfire. Y'all can then make your way out of the lava by walking straight out from the belfrybonfire and into the collapsed tower piece that'due south beyond the lava, it has a root path inside leading upwards to the next area. Once you get up out of the lava you may unequip the Charred Orange Ring in favor of a more useful ring. Just don't forget to get it back on, in the event that you lot die and wound up back at the previous blaze.

Annotation: After y'all've rested and repaired your armor at the blaze, you can take out the remaining Bounding Demons in the field earlier proceeding to the adjacent area. Once they're all gone, yous can explore the surface area freely to find the 2 Divine Blessings hidden in the lava - leave the bonfire room and walk around the tower until you reach the side that is opposite of the entrance and then turn and run directly away from the belfry two bodies behind some roots that take the items.

The Izalith Ruins

Absurd Anxiety - Follow the root to the terminate, and you'll enter an area comprised of crumbling ruins and columns, which is populated with a sea of Stone Demons, including some up above which can occasionally driblet downwardly behind you. Accelerate cautiously; avoid the attending of multiple simultaneously =  avert getting swarmed. You lot'll encounter around ten of them in a passage that goes under a bridge and towards a staircase. Earlier heading up, have a await to the left of the stairs to observe a Large Soul of a Brave Warrior.

Ew - As you get up then y'all'll find a new enemy waiting at the top - a Chaos Eater. Accept these out at range where possible, as their acrid set on will corrode your equipment most immediately, and their take hold of attack can decimate your health, if not kill you lot straight away. Past the door at the top of the stairs, you'll confront a junction with a choice of routes to take - one to the left with stairs, a middle path and another ane to the far correct with root paths leading downward. The path to the left leads to the boss, so we'll leave that for last.

Heroic Sacrifice - Follow the path on the far correct, down the root to find yourself atop the bridge you lot went under, earlier. The area is not very large and may still have a couple of Stone Demons in information technology but there'due south also a couple of items: a Soul of a Hero around the cake, and a Rare Ring of Sacrifice on the ledge on the left - get the band 2nd then drop down and make your style back up to the junction.

Do You Know De Wei - Accept the middle path this fourth dimension to find more Stone Demons down here with a cavernous passage to your left and a staircase to the right. Go upward the stairs first, and onto the resulting span

The Chaos Retainer'south Passage

Titanite Subcontract - On the span at that place is a Titanite Demon - this particular one drops 2 Demon Titanite and also respawns - and a Crystal Lizard. A simple way to beat out him is to utilise a bow to lure him in towards a vague upside-down "L-shaped" root formation on the left side of the span. If washed correctly, he volition not exist able to traverse over this root and the only way he seems to be able to clear this point is by using his 'jump attack'. Continue to burn down arrows at him while fugitive his lightning bolts, and he'll eventually elapse.

By you'll be lead into a dark passage where you lot'll find Solaire of Astora in one of 2 possible scenarios, depending on what actions you took prior:

• Sunset - Spouting nonsense, and with a Sunlight Maggot on his head. The helmet has seemingly driven him crazy, and turned him hostile toward you, so you'll unfortunately have to kill him. Doing so volition advantage you the Sunlight Maggot helm that collection him insane, his armor prepare, 2 Humanity, the Sunlight Straight Sword and Sunlight Shield, and the Sunlight Talisman. While the Sunlight Maggot basically become your friend killed, information technology won't have whatsoever ill-event on you and volition come in very useful subsequently on in The Catacombs and Tomb of Giants.Continue down the passage to notice some live Sunlight Maggots and a huge door. These are harmless, so don't worry about them, and when you approach the huge door information technology will fall into the flooring, and open a shortcut dorsum to where the Demon Firesage fog gate was in the Demon Ruins.
• Night Knight - Sitting in despair, mourning his sun - or better yet, the lack of. This is merely possible if yous opened the shortcutshortcut from the Demon Ruins side, just for this to happen you need to be a level 2 Chaos Servant, which would toll y'all 30 humanity. Doing so has it'southward advantages though, as it volition let you to skip the Demon Firesage, Centipede Demon,and the whole lava section of Lost Izalith. Once the shortcut is unlocked, you accept to find the red eyed Anarchy Bug, you will know y'all got the right one as information technology volition drib the Sunlight Maggot. If you killed the Sunlight Maggot before reaching this point, he will live, and become summonable just before the Gwyn fight.

Ahead there is a root path on your left that goes all the style upwardly to the Demon Firesage fog gate. When you achieve at the top of root path wait to your left, there is a soul item on the ledge. To get this reduce your equip load and and make a spring to the ledge (remember to heal earlier as in case of failed jump massive damage will be washed which tin be fatal). At present caput back beyond the bridge, and toward thecavernous passage from before.

The Anarchy Eater Pit

Down The Rabbit Pigsty - On approaching the cavernous passage y'all'll notice a corpse  with an item inside. Simply beware that as you enter, the floor will collapse and autumn abroad. Unless you somehow fabricated it far beyond the floor before information technology complanate, you will land on a platform directly in forepart of and to a higher place, a pit of Chaos Eaters. Head left to notice a Chaos Eater on an out-of-reach platform, you should probably take care of.

Unleash The Seig - If you have correctly followed Siegmeyer of Catarina's quest-line upwards to this indicate then you lot should discover him standing over the pit, contrary to where you initially landed. Make your way around the left, to him, but do non talk to him earlier defeating all but one or two of the Chaos Eaters using ranged attacks to give him off-white take chances of survival, as he will attempt to repay you for all your help along the style by leaping in and taking all the Chaos Eaters downwards there. and you tin can likewise leap down with him and help with the fight to ensure he lives if you desire. Also, make certain not to kill them all, every bit this will make him take his ain life - see hither for more on this.

Wet Feet - Be warned that the pit is covered in Blighttown-esque swamp h2o which slows movement and poisons you, so poison cures and the Rusted Fe Ringare advised to help getting around down here. Upon landing downwards here, you will observe iii items triangulated effectually you: 1 Ruby-red Titanite Clamper, 2 Green Titanite Shards, and a Soul of a Brave Warrior. Skirt around the large open shafts down here to find passageways across them - ane of which is a dead-end with achest belongings a Red Titanite Slab. From this dead-end, you lot can head dorsum and turn right, so left - traverse the sides of the 2 upcoming square pits - and then brand another correct plow, to find a set up of stairs heading up to the location of the out-of-reach Chaos Eater; feel free to first explore the residual of the area for whatever more than items.

On to the Bed of Chaos

Daughter? - With all the above done, head back to the junction and walk toward the stairs on the left. Right as y'all begin to climb them a Daughter of Chaos - has a adventure of dropping the Izalith Goad - will turn the corner up alee and start attacking yous. She wields some powerful Chaos Pyromancy spells, but shouldn't show too difficult to accept out. At the top of the stairs, you'll see the fog gate leading to The Bed of Chaos on your left, and more than stairs going downwardly ahead. Before going toward the fog gate, go down the stairs ahead to notice a breast guarded by some other Chaos Eater - the chest holds the Chaos Firewhip Spell.

Final Invasion - Render to the fog gate, and forth the way, you'll be invaded by Knight Kirk if y'all are in human class. This is the last of his invasions, and given that you lot crush the him in the Depthsand Demon Ruinsalready, you'll discover his armor set near the Anarchy Servant covenant bonfire later on your meet. Nothing left to do at present but go through the fog gate, and slide into...

Note: This walkthrough is for those that are at level 2 in the Chaos Retainer covenant and used the shortcut before the Demon Firesage fog gate to enter Lost Izalith early, rather than using the usual entrance after the Centipede Demon.

The Chaos Servant's Passage

Major Detour - Taking a correct turn only earlier the Demon Firesage fog gate y'all'll find a root path leading downwards to a dark passage with Sunlight Maggots jumping effectually. (They're harmless, but worth killing - read the 'annotation' below to find out why) However, before going down the root path merely run into towards your right, in that location is a soul particular on the ledge and to get that you take to reduce your equip load and brand a spring on to the ledge.

Perks - For this door to open up, you lot need to be a level 2 Chaos Servant, which would toll you lot 30 humanity. Doing so has it's advantages though, as information technology will permit yous to skip the Demon Firesage, Centipede Demon,and the whole lava department ofLost Izalith. Once the shortcut is unlocked, you have to find the reddish eyed Chaos Problems, you will know you got the right one equally information technology will driblet the Sunlight Maggot. If you lot killed the Sunlight Maggot before reaching this point, he will live, and get summonable simply before the Gwyn fight.

It is possible to do so without joining the Chaos Servant Covenant, notwithstanding. Doing so requires aPyromancy Flame and thePoison Mist pyromancy, which can exist found on a corpse in theBlighttownswamp. Make your mode to the shortcut door, and cast Poison Mist into the center of the door. Information technology works best if yous move yourself as shut to the door as possible. Bandage Poison Mist until you infect a mob on the other side.

Note: It'south a good idea to impale all the Sunlight Maggots in the passage earlier entering Lost Izalith for a couple of reasons:

1. After you defeat The Bed of Chaos, come up back to the shortcut passage again and you lot'll find Solaire of Astora sitting down in it, all depressed about something, merely the next fourth dimension you see him he'll be bachelor to summon for the final boss fight. If you don't kill them all then the next time you come up back to the passage he'll be hostile toward you. (Please read hither to detect out more about Solaire'due south quest-line)
2. There's a chance of them dropping a Sunlight Maggot captain, which will come in very useful afterward on in the The Catacombs and Tomb of Giants.

On the bridge at that place is a Titanite Demon - this particular one drops 2 Demon Titanite and too respawns - and a Crystal Lizard. and it ends at some stairs that lead down toward an surface area with a wealth of Stone Demons and acavernous passage direct alee. Have out theStone Demons then caput toward the passage alee.

The Chaos Eater Pit

Downwards The Rabbit Hole - On budgeted thecavernous passage you lot'll observe a corpse  with andetail inside. But beware that every bit you enter, the floor will plummet and autumn abroad. Unless you lot somehow made it far across the floor earlier it collapsed, y'all will state on a platform direct in front of and above, a pit of Chaos Eaters. Head left to notice a Chaos Eater on an out-of-reach platform, you should probably take care of.

Unleash The Seig - If yous accept correctly followed Siegmeyer of Catarina's quest-line up to this point then you should observe him standing over the pit, opposite to where you initially landed. Brand your way around the left, to him, merelydo not talk to him before defeating all simply one or 2 of the Chaos Eaters using ranged attacks to give him fair chance of survival, as he will attempt to repay you for all your aid along the manner by leaping in and taking all the Anarchy Eaters downwardly there. and you can also jump downwards with him and aid with the fight to ensure he lives if you desire. Too, make certain not to kill them all, every bit this will brand him accept his ain life - seehither for more on this.

Wet Feet - Exist warned that the pit is covered inBlighttown-esque swamp water which slows movement and poisons you, so poisonous substance cures and the Rusted Iron Ringare advised to help getting around down here. Upon landing down here, you will discover three items triangulated effectually you: i Red Titanite Chunk, ii Dark-green Titanite Shards, and a Soul of a Brave Warrior. Brim around the big open up shafts downwards here to find passageways beyond them - 1 of which is a expressionless-end with achest holding aScarlet Titanite Slab. From this dead-end, yous tin head back and plough correct, then left - traverse the sides of the two upcoming square pits - so make another right turn, to detect a set of stairs heading upwardly to the location of the out-of-accomplish Chaos Eater; feel free to first explore the rest of the expanse for any more than items.

Exploring the Izalith Ruins

When you get back to the top, have a correct and follow the root path upwardly to a junction with a choice of routes to take - one to the right with stairs, a doorway in the middle, and some other one to the far left with root paths leading downward. The path to the correct leads to theboss, so nosotros'll go out that for concluding.

Heroic Sacrifice - Follow the path on the far left, down the root to discover yourself atop a span. The surface area is not very large and may nonetheless have a couple of Stone Demons in information technology but at that place's as well a couple ofitems: a Soul of a Hero around the block - grab this get-go -, and a Rare Ring of Cede on the lower ledge on the left. Once you driblet down to go the ring, have a look below. This area is infested with Stone Demons, so prepare yourself, then dive in.

Stoned Army - Explore the area while disposing of as many as possible before going downwards to ensure yous're non swarmed. On one end of the expanse, yous'll find a behemothic root, this takes you into the Lava Lake of Lost Izalith, on the other end, are a flight of stairs. But before y'all get up these stairs, have a look to the left of the stairs to find a Large Soul of a Brave Warrior. Then as you climb the stairs you'll take to have on some other Anarchy Eater waiting at the tiptop. At the top, go through the building and you'll find yourself back at the junction from earlier. Nowhere to go now but up the stairs alee of y'all.

Bed Fourth dimension

Girl? - With all the to a higher place done, head back to thejunction and walk toward the stairs on the left. Right every bit you brainstorm to climb them a Daughter of Chaos - has a chance of dropping the Izalith Catalyst - will turn the corner up ahead and offset attacking you. She wields some powerful Chaos Pyromancy spells, but shouldn't prove as well hard to have out. At the peak of the stairs, y'all'll see thefog gate leading to The Bed of Anarchy on your left, and more stairs going downwardly alee. Before going toward thefog gate, become down the stairs ahead to notice achest guarded by another Chaos Eater - the chest holds the Chaos Firewhip Spell.

Final Invasion - Return to thefog gate, and along the way, you'll be invaded byKnight Kirk if y'all are in human form. This is the terminal of his invasions, and given that you vanquish the him in theDepthsandDemon Ruinsalready, you'll find his armor ready near the Chaos Servant covenantbonfire after your encounter. Nix left to do now simply go through thefog gate, and slide into...
