Walkthrough: Tomb of the Giants

  • Wear the Sunlight Maggot if you have it, or hold the Skull Lantern in your left hand.
  • Slide down the coffin ramp and take the ladder down to the Tomb of the Giants bonfire.
  • Back up the ladder, follow the ledge to the right and fall into the hole; giant skeletons guard the Large Divine Ember.
  • Past a fake wall on the ledge, a ladder leads to bone towers and Reah's two hollowed guards. Kill them all but don't speak to Reah yet.
  • Grab the White Titanite Chunk, a Skull Lantern and souls, then climb back up.
  • Patches the Hyena waits by a pit. Answer no to him and he kicks you in.
  • Talk to Reah of Thorolund in the pit to receive Replenishment.
  • Climb up and talk to Patches again, answering no, for Twin Humanities.
  • Beyond him and the fog gate, a Black Knight rushes you; put him down.
  • Shoot the archer, take the soul and jump down. Bone towers ambush you around the Covetous Silver Serpent Ring.
  • Jump across, kill the giant skeleton, then follow the left wall up for the Effigy Shield.
  • From the last giant skeleton, keep your left hand on the wall until you reach the Tomb of the Giants Lower bonfire; become human there.
  • Go down the path for a White Titanite Chunk, take the ladder and kill Paladin Leeroy when he invades for Sanctus and Grant.
  • A Crystal Lizard hides in the tunnel; kill it fast.
  • The tunnel ends at a ledge with Pinwheel clones; clear them for a soul and the White Titanite Slab.
  • Defeat Gravelord Nito.
  • After the fight, pick up the Paladin Set; reload if it does not appear.
  • Rest at the Altar of the Gravelord bonfire and warp to Firelink Shrine.
