Blighttown

Down the shanty town to the poison swamp, Quelana's pyromancies and the way to Quelaag.

Blighttown is a long climb down rickety wooden walkways into a poison swamp. Blowdart Snipers in the upper levels make you toxic in a few hits and don't come back once killed, so deal with each one as you meet it; the Spider Shield from the Depths blocks their darts. Carry moss clumps for poison and toxin (the merchant in the Lower Burg tower sells them). In the swamp the water slows you and poisons you: move from one dry patch to the next. Quelana, a pyromancer who sells five spells no one else teaches, waits in the swamp for anyone whose flame is at +10. Never attack her.

Soul of a Proud Knight (first structure)Consumable
Location
Blighttown · Upper walkways – From the Depths bonfire, take the crate ladder and long stairs down to Domhnall's hall and open the great doors beside him with the Blighttown Key. Go round the left side of the great hole and down the ladders, where Infested Barbarians meet you one after another. Past them come three ghouls, and a Blowdart Sniper stands by a ladder on the far right: lure the ghouls out of his sight, then kill him and climb down his ladder. Three more ghouls wait below; the corpse sits on the left, where that wooden structure ends.
Requires
Summary
A soul item at the end of the first wooden structure below the entrance.

Large Soul of a Nameless Soldier (ramp)Consumable
Location
Blighttown · Upper walkways – From the first structure, climb back up and go on to two small bridges: the first, on the right, sways; the second stays still. Cross the still one and climb down the ladder. A corpse lies at the foot of a short drop on your right, but dropping there breaks the floor under you: take the ramp on the left down to it instead.
Requires
Summary
A soul item on a corpse just past the fixed bridge, reached by a ramp.

Bonfire: Blighttown CatwalkArea
Location
Blighttown · Upper walkways – From the Depths bonfire, take the crate ladder and long stairs down to Domhnall's hall and open the great doors beside him with the Blighttown Key. Go round the left side of the great hole and down the ladders, fighting the Infested Barbarians one at a time; they are slow and can be lured off the edges. Carry on along the walkways to two small bridges, cross the second (it stays still), climb down the ladder and take the ramp on the left. Turn back along the narrow walkway (one ghoul sits in a vase, another has its back to you) and climb down the ladder on its left. At the bottom, still facing the ladder, walk left to the bonfire.
Requires
Summary
The first bonfire in Blighttown, on a stone bridge among the upper walkways.

Humanity (Blighttown)Consumable
Location
Blighttown · Below the Catwalk bonfire – From the Catwalk bonfire, follow the path past it to a ladder down at its end, with two ghouls waiting below. Pass under the platform, go up the ramp and left over a swaying bridge (stand still while it swings), then down the ramp on the left to two fire dogs. At the foot of that short ramp, turn back round it: a narrow path on the left leads to the corpse.
Requires
Summary
A Humanity at the end of a narrow path below the bonfire.

IaitoWeapon
Location
Blighttown · Upper walkways – From the Catwalk bonfire, climb back the way you came to the platform just past the first Blowdart Sniper's ladder and keep left to its edge: the corpse lies on a lower platform across the gap. Run off the beam that juts out from the edge and jump at the last moment (less armor helps). A miss lands you below the bonfire near the fire dogs, a fall you should survive. From the corpse, turn away from the gap and drop down on the right to get back to the bonfire.
Requires
Summary
A katana on a corpse across a gap, reached with a running jump.

Human form for Mildred

Rest at the Swamp bonfire in human form before you step out: an invader, Maneater Mildred, comes only to a human player, and only while Quelaag lives. Beat her and her summon sign waits at Quelaag's fog for that fight.

Short of souls for Quelana

Her five spells are expensive. Buy what you can now; once you have met her she keeps selling, and the route passes her again on the lift out of the swamp and comes back to her after the Bed of Chaos.

If Laurentius asks about your pyromancy

Back at Firelink, Laurentius may ask where you learned your new pyromancy. Answer No: a Yes sends him away from the shrine.

The cave in the side of the mound beyond Quelana's pillars is the way into Quelaag's Domain. Rest at the Swamp bonfire first.

About this guide

Three runs. The first is the full walk: every area, Artorias of the Abyss, every covenant, all four spell collections and the ten weapon-upgrade trophies, ending at the Kiln. New Game+ is a leaner run for the other ending and the last miracle. A short third run stops once the last Soul of Sif has been turned into a weapon. A few trophy weapons and covenant offerings only come from enemies, so expect some farming.
