These ghosts, which mark the sanctuary that will cash only minimal as you will not destroy the tomb that matches its damage. In this first part, the two tombs obviously correspond to the two ghosts destroy them so primarily to be able to deal with enemies, loot chests without fearing any trap or other mimic, retrace your steps and shoot an arrow in the symbol on the wall that was to your left to access some items.

All the tombs of the knights are further combined in a single room, where three knights you more ready and waiting. To triumph here, not so secret: you have to be fast, accurate and especially mobile to dodge the constant attack of ghosts chasing you. Here is the way forward.

Turn on the longest bridge and look at the ceiling to find another symbol which take to get rid of the peaks to the ground, then do mine down the stairs at the bottom of the zone.

Turn around halfway to shoot the symbol right behind you, go up the ladder and jump into the opening to enable a very useful fire and recover the bow of the sanctuary at the end of the passage. Finally, to end this zone, drag the icon you can see through the wheel by changing positions to get the clear shot until you can go and collect the miracle Disclaimer. Take then for good dilapidated stairs, beware of the knight who awaits you on the right and continue driving until interrupted by the ghost of Thomas Jester.

Then go safely misty portal below, which takes you into a new area filled with bipedal reptiles. Try to draw the monsters one by one to avoid making you literally trampled, beware the shock wave caused by their projectiles lightning and turn them around to avoid their shots jaw.

Kill them one by one both drakesang waiting for you to firm up in the hallway of the bottom to be able to recover the precious items they were guarding, jump to the center island and end your descent.

Dragon’s Rest

This area is in fact limited to two successive arenas, containing as many bosses willing to cut you to pieces. If you are human, summoning two brands available, one for Benhart Jugo down between the pillar and the other for Ellie Heart Steel-near the fog. Behind it, a first boss against which it is best to call at least one player or NPC ally reinforcements.


- Elana, Squalid Queen

Relatively physically resembling Nashandra Elana not sharing with the final boss that his affinity with darkness and strokes halberd. The lady teleports indeed constantly all over the arena and his evil will be projected linearly or as dam: so adjust the direction of your dodge depending on it and walk away from it when it raises his hand above his head, a sign that AoE is about to be launched around her. This hand gesture, Elana will also do when called for reinforcements, whether in the form of some skeletons or more dangerous, a shadow sharing traits Velstadt and its devastating attacks club. Whether alone or together, make the elimination of this shade a priority when it appears and when you will be entitled to the skeletons, let a alive as long as possible to prevent Elana launch another invocation. Throughout the fight, also be very careful to spell available to the explosive boss who created a fireball that explodes static moments after: escape to whatever happens to its range otherwise find yourself ground.


Victorious, you see the wall sculpture open, giving you access to a fire always enjoyed serving checkpoint before the next confrontation for which you can invoke the Transcendent Edde. Without further ado, here is the fight against the dragon that you have already had the opportunity to cruise at Shulva.

- Sinh, the Slumbering Dragon

Unlike its peers, you could face in the area of the Dragon, Sinh will be very mobile and vivacious throughout the fight, just like in the first Kalameet Dark Souls. You should therefore also show you mobile and quick to dodge its multiple attacks, ranging from simple shots to the jaw and tail explosive fireballs through devastating attacks by dive. Sinh not lock until it is on the ground and you are in position to attack: otherwise, always stay free camera power sprinter at your convenience, which will prove of crucial relevance to react fast enough. When the boss on the ground, picks up on its two hind legs, run away from him preferably behind or to the side to avoid his fiery breath, feel free to use items reducing the flow of poison to avoid being poisoned by clouds that Sinh leaves behind. By not releasing not your focus, you can overcome the reptile and ask for your personal crown of King Engulfed that appears on the ground.

Also pick up the ring Yorgh a little further on the left, and if it is not already, have to wrestle the proposed additional content that final challenge: the Cave of the dead.


Cave of the Dead

To access that area, return to the entrance of the Sanctuary of the Dragon and use the Key of eternal sanctuary on the door on the left. Remove the two black witches behind, loot all the chests without fear, climb to two successive scales and cut to pieces the three insects that fall from the ceiling in the hallway without you rush to the bridge. Go up to the third level, get the shield in the trunk of the sanctuary before returning and get involved on deck.

Send some poisoned arrows or spells of your own ghost that you load from the other end, finish the work in contact, then go turn on the last fire associated with the area Shulva before hitting the pillar to create a shortcut to the bridge leading to the entrance of the sanctuary. Take this elevator, but drop down to the side halfway: you can fetch the fate of Swordfish Dark in a safe. Return fire, enter the mist at the bottom and you finally reach the cave itself.

Drop down without fear, invoke one or two spectra to help you let down a level to take care of the first three soldiers waiting for you further. You will notice quickly that the statues with red eyes around you spit liquid petrifying the figure: just know that, below, dozens of these statues await you, in addition to the half dozen soldiers soaked in poison and turtles who still bear most of these statues and patrolling the room. To avoid a violent death, so it is best to prune some actual targets while remaining at the top: use to this elegant skulls, some bombs and a bow or spells to attract enemies in range and eliminate.

Once ready, jump into one of the holes, then run down the hall where a petrifying turtle patrol. You'll know you're going in the right direction if extinguished torch comes in an alcove on your left. Turn it on the way to be able to see you better in a possible future transition, drop down to the floor below, draw the soldiers waiting off one by one to have, do the same with the turtles and beware of the giant worm that appeared on the left. Behind the mist await three friends all eager to meet you.

-Ancient Soldier Varg and Cerah the Old Explorer

Much to say right now, if you came alone in this arena and you do not have a shield that could block 100% of physical damage, then you're already a carcass. Your three opponents will indeed stalk you relentlessly to the four corners of the arena and you will be unable to dodge everything between the sledgehammer of the soldier, the incisive attacks robber and large arrows Explorer, you will the ground if you do not scrape. However, be careful of the wind-guards that your enemies will throw you if you keep your shield up too long. To top it off, the arena has a flooded lower level that will slow you down greatly if you fall within: identify passages bringing you back to the mainland will be an absolute necessity if dropped.


Start anyway, as far as possible, focus your attacks on the grave robber: his warmest assaults and bleeding that goes with it are indeed a real nuisance and choose between him and the soldier dressed all Havel you will come to the end much faster. This first slain thug, always pay attention to the arrows of the explorer and watch for the opportunity to place an attack in the back of Mr. Havel, who will leave you no respite and will chain attacks as if there was no next day. Finally, if you manage to kill the soldier, conclude this long battle by the skin archer in contact.

Victorious, skip the few statues that separate you from the exit of the cave and get the flowery skirt in the trunk before returning to the familiar land Shulva.
