Demon Ruins

Chaos Servant rank +2, then down through the lava ruins to the Centipede Demon and both flame embers.

The Demon Ruins open off the room below the second bell in Quelaag's Domain. Lava fills the lower ruins until their first boss dies, Capra and Taurus Demons roam in numbers (draw them one at a time with arrows), and fire protection helps all the way down. First, at the Fair Lady, the Chaos Servants' second rank: it pays out a pyromancy the trophy needs and opens a door deep in the ruins. Never attack Eingyi or the Fair Lady.

Humanity (farm, if short)Quest step
Location
The Depths · Rat tunnels by the bonfire – Start at the Daughter of Chaos bonfire: count the Humanity in your inventory, adding any you already gave the Fair Lady. If you are short of 30, warp to the Depths bonfire, take the passage beside the bonfire room past the Giant Rat's fence and go left at the junction: a rat leaps from the lone box there, and more crowd the stairs down on the right. Kill them, rest at the bonfire so they come back, and repeat until you have enough. The Covetous Gold Serpent Ring raises the drop chance. Keep at least one spare for Paladin Leeroy (Tomb of the Giants), who comes only to a player in human form (and more for Kirk and Solaire's sign if you want them). With enough in hand, return by warp to the Daughter of Chaos bonfire.
Requires
Summary
Rank +2 with the Fair Lady takes 30 Humanity offered in all. Count yours first: the fixed pickups on the route rarely leave that many, so farm the rest now.

Chaos Servant: offer 30 Humanity for rank +2Hidden spoiler – activate to revealQuest stepMissablePoint of no returnMinor spoiler
Location
Quelaag's Domain · Daughter of Chaos room – At the Daughter of Chaos bonfire, talk to the Fair Lady beside it. If you have joined another covenant since (the Darkwraiths, for one), rejoin hers first: you can offer only as a member. Offer Humanity until your total reaches 30. Stay a Chaos Servant until you have opened the door in the ruins.
Why you can lose it
Reach rank +2 while the Fair Lady lives. Never attack the Fair Lady: her death ends the Chaos Servant covenant and its rewards for the rest of this run.
Point of no return
Beating Gwyn, Lord of Cinder, then lighting the bonfire or walking out of his arena: either ends this run at once and starts the next one.
Requires
Summary
The second rank of the Chaos Servants. It brings Chaos Storm, a pyromancy for Bond of a Pyromancer, and lets you open the sealed door near the Demon Firesage.

Bonfire: Demon Ruins EntranceArea
Location
Demon Ruins · Entrance ledge – From the Daughter of Chaos bonfire, go back past Eingyi into the room with the round platform and leave by the broken gap in the wall near the foot of the stairs. The passage beyond leads down to a bonfire ringed by Egg Carriers, which leave you alone unless you hit them. Light it.
Requires
Summary
The first bonfire of the Demon Ruins, above the lava. It can't be warped to: the Daughter of Chaos bonfire is the warp point for this area.

Return to Eingyi with an Egg HeadHidden spoiler – activate to revealQuest stepMissablePoint of no returnMinor spoiler
Location
Quelaag's Domain · Eingyi's passage – At the Entrance bonfire, kick or strike one of the Egg Carriers so it turns on you, and let it grab you until an egg shows on your head. Walk back up through the broken gap to Eingyi in the passage before the Daughter of Chaos bonfire and talk to him while the egg is there. He hands over an Egg Vermifuge; use it to cure the egg once you are done with him. One talk is enough: his shop stays open after that.
Why you can lose it
Talk to him with the egg while he is still friendly. Never attack Eingyi or the Fair Lady: if Eingyi dies, or turns on you after her death, his pyromancy is gone for the rest of this run.
Point of no return
Beating Gwyn, Lord of Cinder, then lighting the bonfire or walking out of his arena: either ends this run at once and starts the next one.
Requires
Summary
Eingyi trusts you only once a parasite egg grows on your head. Then he opens his shop, with Toxic Mist for Bond of a Pyromancer.

Why you can lose it
Buy it while Eingyi is friendly. Never attack Eingyi or the Fair Lady: if Eingyi dies, or turns on you after her death, his pyromancy is gone for the rest of this run.

Ceaseless DischargeBoss
Location
Demon Ruins · Cliff arena past the stone bridge – From the Entrance bonfire, walk down the long stone path. At its foot the ground ahead is lava, so turn right through the big stone arch beside the path and cross the stone bridge to the fog. Past it he lurks below the cliff and ignores you until you strike him or take the armor lying at the end of the path. Wake him with an arrow from near the fog, wait for his lava spray, then run back to the fog and stand against it: he lunges after you and clings to the edge by one arm. Hit that arm until he falls.
Requires
Summary
The giant whose lava floods the lower ruins. His death cools it, opens the way down and brings out the next bonfire. He also drops a Humanity.

Demon Ruins · Cliff arena past the stone bridge – With Ceaseless Discharge dead, walk on along the cliff path past his fog to its far end: the set lies there on the right.
Requires
Summary
A light armor set with good fire resistance, handy for the rest of these ruins.
Sources
Report an issue

Cross back over the bridge and follow the long stone path down to the bed of cooled lava. Seven Taurus Demons stand off to the left and don't come back once dead: draw each one out alone with arrows, dodge rather than block, and hit only when they leave an opening. The Chaos Flame Ember lies in a pool of live lava among them; it waits until you have the Orange Charred Ring, near the end of the section.

Large Soul of a Proud Knight (lava island)Consumable
Location
Demon Ruins · Cooled lava bed – Where the Taurus Demons stood, on the left of the lava bed, a corpse sits across a narrow strip of lava. Take a running jump over it, loot the corpse and jump back.

Soul of a Proud Knight (first Capra)Consumable
Location
Demon Ruins · Path up from the lava bed – Go back to the foot of the long stone path. Facing out over the lava bed from there, the way on runs along the right-hand side, up a crumbling stone stairway; the corpse lies ahead as a Capra Demon comes at you from the left. Kill it, then follow the path it came along.
Requires

Kirk, Knight of Thorns (Demon Ruins)Hidden spoiler – activate to revealBossMissablePoint of no returnMinor spoiler
Location
Demon Ruins · Cliff path above the ruins – Be in human form (restore it at the Entrance bonfire). Past the first Capra Demon, as you walk the narrow path along the cliff toward the ruins, he invades behind you. Turn and fight him on the path or back down on the lava bed; never lead him down toward the pack of Capra Demons ahead. His blows make you bleed.
Why you can lose it
He invades only while you are human and the Demon Firesage still lives: be human on this path and beat him before that boss.
Point of no return
Killing the Demon Firesage.
Requires
Summary
The second of Kirk's three invasions. Only beating him in all three leaves his armor for you later, and each fight may drop his sword or shield.

Bonfire: Demon Ruins CentralArea
Location
Demon Ruins · Ruined wall below the Capra Demons – From the foot of the long stone path, facing out over the cooled lava, keep to the right-hand side and climb the crumbling stone stairway (a Capra Demon comes at you from the left). Follow the cliff path beyond until it is about to enter the ruins, where a pack of Capra Demons waits. Just before that, drop off the side of the path to the level below: the bonfire is there on the ruined wall, beside a Burrowing Rockworm that rises out of the ground. Kill the worm from range (up close it eats away at your gear), then light the bonfire. Stairs nearby lead back up to the Capra Demons if you want them.
Requires
Summary
The bonfire in the middle of the ruins. It is there only once Ceaseless Discharge is dead.

Soul of a Proud Knight (before the wide stairs)Consumable

Large Flame EmberKey item
Location
Demon Ruins · Ledge left of the wide stairs – From the Central bonfire, walk back along the balcony to the wide staircase and go down it; four Demonic Statues stand on the way, and at the bottom a Taurus Demon ahead charges you while a Rockworm surfaces on your right (it can be left alone). Take the narrow ledge to the left: Taurus Demons hold it, so shoot them from a distance. Further on, one Rockworm drops from the ceiling, and four more drop around you near the end. Dash between the two in front, or stand beside the carved ornament set between the pair of pillars on your left, where none of them can reach you, and attack from range. The ember is in the chest at the end. A Homeward Bone takes you back to the Central bonfire.
Requires
Summary
The ember that lets Vamos take Fire weapons past +5, needed for the Fire Weapon trophy. Vamos waits in the Catacombs, later in the route.

Soul of a Brave Warrior (lone Capra)Consumable
Location
Demon Ruins · Cliff path right of the fog – Back at the foot of the wide stairs, climb the steps ahead toward the doorway with the fog gate (two Demonic Statues attack there).

Solaire: kill the red-eyed Chaos Bug in the shortcut corridor before entering Lost IzalithHidden spoiler – activate to revealQuest stepMissablePoint of no returnMinor spoiler
Location
Demon Ruins · Corridor behind the sealed door – Go through the hole in the wall right of the Demon Firesage's fog and climb down the roots to the large door at the bottom. Touch it: as a rank +2 Chaos Servant you can open it. Chaos Bugs crawl in the corridor on both sides of the door, nine in all; kill every one, above all the red-eyed bug, which gives more souls than the rest. Don't walk on through the corridor into Lost Izalith: climb back up the roots, then quit and reload. Toxic Mist cast at the closed door also reaches the bug.
Why you can lose it
Kill the red-eyed bug before you first set foot in Lost Izalith, from either side.
Point of no return
Walking on from the Lost Izalith bonfire into the lava field with the red-eyed Chaos Bug still alive.
Requires
Summary
One bug behind the sealed door has red eyes. Killing it before you set foot in Lost Izalith keeps Solaire's story going toward his sign at the last boss.

Demon Ruins · Centipede Demon's fog – In human form, Solaire's gold summon sign lies a few steps before the Centipede Demon's fog, by the root on the left of the door (it is there only if you spoke to him at the Sunlight Altar). Summon him before you go in; if he is still standing when the demon dies, the medal is yours.
Why you can lose it
Summon Solaire for this fight and keep him alive to the end: a win without him leaves this medal behind for the run.
Point of no return
Killing the Centipede Demon.

Centipede DemonBoss
Location
Demon Ruins · Centipede Demon's arena – Through the fog by the Demon Ruins Lower bonfire. Fire barely hurts it, and lava covers much of the floor, so watch your footing: stay near the entrance, or make for the open ground at the far right with a corpse in its middle. Keep underneath it and attack, and raise your shield when it leaps.

Quelana before Lost Izalith

The boss at the end of Lost Izalith, the Bed of Chaos, takes Quelana's lessons with it if you have never met her. If you haven't spoken to her yet, do it now with a Pyromancy Flame at +10 or more: from the Daughter of Chaos bonfire, climb to the bell room and go out through Quelaag's arena and the Egg Carriers' tunnel into the swamp. She leans against the far-left of the big stone pillars nearest Quelaag's mound.

Lost Izalith lies past the Centipede Demon's arena. If you opened the lift, the quickest way back from the Daughter of Chaos bonfire is to step onto the round platform in the room below the bell, ride it down, and take the stairs and the root down to the Demon Ruins Lower bonfire. Otherwise walk back down through the ruins.

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.
