Walkthrough: Blighttown and Quelaag's Domain

  • Move slowly: Blowdart Snipers shoot poison darts from the shadows.
  • Make a running jump to the post to reach the Iaito.
  • Light the Blighttown Catwalk bonfire.
  • Drop below where the Iaito was for Blooming Purple Moss Clumps, cross the swaying bridge for Humanity, then return to the bonfire.
  • Past the bonfire, beware the trap floor next to a soul: it collapses.
  • Climb up to take the Shadow Set.
  • Move into the next section, watching for a Blowdart Sniper on a high ledge.
  • Go down the longest ladder, deal with the sniper and grab the Eagle Shield.
  • Up top, shoot the Parasitic Wall Hugger from a distance; the Power Within pyromancy waits below it.
  • Squeeze through the hole in the wall and climb down toward the boss fog gate.
  • Turn back and drop down to grab the Whip.
  • Drop again and follow the walkways toward the swamp, killing another sniper on the way.
  • Next to that sniper lie the Wanderer Set and the Falchion.
  • The swamp slows you badly, so equip the Rusted Iron Ring before the bottom and dash to the bonfire.
  • Light the Blighttown Swamp bonfire and open the chest in its tunnel for a Dragon Scale.
  • The swamp floor hides the Pyromancer Set, the Poison Mist pyromancy, Large Titanite Shards, the Server and some souls.
  • Up the big branch that leads to the Great Hollow are the Plank Shield on a body and Twin Humanities behind a fake wall.
  • The Infested Barbarians hurling boulders drop the Great Club when slain.
  • Giant Leeches are a decent optional source of Large Titanite Shards and Green Titanite Shards.
  • Climb the waterwheel, take two ladders and circle the ledge to kill the Blowdart Snipers.
  • A ladder leads down to some dogs; past them lies a Fire Keeper Soul.
  • Return to the bonfire as a human. Maneater Mildred invades; kill her for the Butcher Knife and Humanity.
  • Defeat Chaos Witch Quelaag.
  • If you defeated Maneater Mildred, her summon sign is next to the fog gate.
  • Ring the second Bell of Awakening in Quelaag's Domain.
  • Go down, strike the illusory wall and talk to Eingyi. Answer yes so he steps aside; if you answer no, reload and try again.
  • Eingyi sells Poison Mist and Toxic Mist only after an egg-head in Blighttown infests you.
  • With 11 or more Intelligence, Eingyi gives you a Pyromancy Flame.
  • Eingyi can also upgrade your Pyromancy Flame.
  • Talk to the Daughter of Chaos and optionally join the Chaos Servant covenant.
  • As a Chaos Servant, offering 30 Humanity opens a shortcut into Lost Izalith.
  • Reinforce your Estus Flask here with any Fire Keeper Soul you hold.
  • Light the Daughter of Chaos bonfire, then return to the swamp bonfire.
  • Optional co-op around levels 25–40.
  • If Quelana of Izalith is in the swamp, she can upgrade your Pyromancy Flame and sell pyromancies.
  • On a second climb up the wheel, a thin branch off the first ladder leads to the Crimson Set, the Tin Banishment Catalyst and the Remedy sorcery.
  • At the very top of this shanty town lies the Key to New Londo Ruins.
  • The exit opens onto the Valley of Drakes; bring the Undead Dragon down from range with arrows or magic.
  • Head back to Firelink Shrine.
  • If Lautrec is still alive he has now killed Anastacia. Pick up the Dingy Set and the Black Eye Orb from her cell.
  • The Crestfallen Warrior has new things to say; chat with him.
  • Talk to Griggs of Vinheim to buy sorceries (10 Intelligence needed).
  • Talk to Laurentius of the Great Swamp for a Pyromancy Flame, upgrades and pyromancies.
  • Talk to Petrus of Thorolund to buy miracles.
