Lower Undead Burg

Down through the Basement Key door to free Griggs, open two shortcuts and beat the Capra Demon for the Key to the Depths.

The Basement Key opens the way down into the lower Burg: a locked room with a prisoner (bring the Residence Key), two ambushes by knife-throwing assassins, a merchant in the aqueduct, and the Capra Demon, who drops the Key to the Depths. The section ends back at Firelink Shrine, where the freed prisoner sells sorceries the Wisdom of a Sage trophy needs.

No bonfire down here

The lower Burg has no bonfire of its own. Open both of its shortcuts before the boss: the gate up the right-hand stairs just after the long ladder (back to the Undead Burg bonfire), and the gate at the end of the aqueduct passage past the female merchant (to Firelink Shrine).

Open the Basement Key door into Lower Undead BurgQuest step
Location
Lower Undead Burg · Hellkite bridge tower door – From the Undead Burg bonfire, climb the ladder shortcut up to the Hellkite bridge stairs and go to the locked tower door where the bridge starts: the Basement Key opens it. Go down the stairs and the long ladder, and once outside take the stairs up on your right and open the gate at the top, a shortcut back to the Undead Burg bonfire.
Requires
Summary
The locked tower door on the Hellkite bridge is the only way down into the lower Burg.

Griggs: unlock his room with the Residence KeyQuest step
Location
Lower Undead Burg · Locked house by the well – Back down from the shortcut gate, take the next stairs slowly: dogs rush up at you.

Only the Residence Key opens it (the Master Key does not); talking to him inside is optional.
Requires

Twin Humanities (Lower Burg)Consumable
Location
Lower Undead Burg · Torch Hollows' alley – From Griggs's door, carry on down the stone alley to the group of Hollows carrying torches; they are slow to react, so pull them one or two at a time. Turn right at the end of the alley: the corpse lies in the dead end.

Mail BreakerWeapon
Location
Lower Undead Burg · First assassin ambush – Head back past the burning pile and on along the main alley; smashing the wagon there gives you room to fight.

Requires
Summary
A thrusting dagger, in a room the first assassins burst out of.

Large Soul of a Lost Undead (Depths gate)Consumable
Location
Lower Undead Burg · Corridor below the fog gate – The alley ends at a fog gate: leave it for later and take the stairs down on its right.

Undead Merchant (Female)NPC
Location
Lower Undead Burg · Aqueduct passage – The locked door in the same corridor is the way to the Depths, for later. Go up the short ramp of stairs to the door into the tower and climb the spiral stairs past an archer until rubble blocks them, then turn right into the dark aqueduct passage: she sits on your right. Walk on to the gate at the end of the passage and open it, a shortcut to Firelink Shrine.

Location
Lower Undead Burg · Fog gate at the end of the alley – From the Undead Burg bonfire, go through the shortcut gate and down into the lower Burg, then follow the main alley past the two ambushes to the fog gate at its end (or come down the aqueduct from Firelink if that gate is open). Two dogs attack as you enter: run up the stairs on your left to the narrow ledge and kill them there, then drop down to the demon, block what you can and dodge its overhead swing (or wait on the ledge for a plunging attack).
Requires

Griggs's shop

Head up the aqueduct to Firelink Shrine to rest. Griggs sells nothing until you have at least 10 Intelligence, so level it first if you're short. Buy Fall Control and Aural Decoy before anything else: no one else teaches them. The other six sorceries are also sold by another trainer later in the run, so buy them as your souls allow.

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.
