Painted World of Ariamis

Into the painting with the Peculiar Doll: two spells, the Dark Ember, and Priscilla's tail.

The painting on the Anor Londo chapel floor pulls you into a snowbound world of its own. You can't warp from its bonfire; once you have rested there, the only way out is the jump at the far end, past the boss's arena. Bring a bow and plenty of arrows (there are ropes to cut and a dragon to shoot), and a few Humanity: the invader here comes only to a player in human form. The swollen Engorged Hollows burst into a toxic cloud when they die, so finish them with fire or roll away from the body.

Enter the paintingQuest step

Anor Londo · Chapel floor – On the chapel floor (from the Darkmoon Tomb bonfire: up to the lever, turn it clockwise once and go down the stairs into the chapel), the big painting hangs in the left corner beside the knight's corpse. Examine it with the Peculiar Doll in your inventory.
Summary
The way into the Painted World of Ariamis, open only to someone carrying the Peculiar Doll.

Her death closes, for this run: Priscilla's Dagger (cut her tail first) and Jeremiah's invasion in the impaled yard, with his Notched Whip, his Humanity and the Xanthous Set that appears only after he is beaten. If she is about to die with her tail still on, quit to the title screen and reload: you start again outside the fog. Once you have struck her, the jump out only kills you until she is dead.

Crossbreed PriscillaHidden spoiler – activate to revealBossMinor spoiler
Location
Painted World of Ariamis · Priscilla's arena – In the snowy arena past the fog at the end of the stone bridge. Once struck she turns invisible: watch for her footprints in the snow, and throwing knives that stick in her show where she is. Her scythe makes you bleed, so stay behind her and keep your distance from its long sweeps.
Summary
The keeper of the painting. She asks you to leave in peace; beating her gives her soul and the Defeat Crossbreed Priscilla trophy. Keep her soul: the Giant Blacksmith in Anor Londo makes a Knight's Honor weapon from it, so never use it for souls.

To leave, walk past the benches behind the arena to the end of the plank: you jump and land back by the painting on the Anor Londo chapel floor. The painting stays open, so the Crow Demons can still be farmed on a later visit.

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.
