Undead Burg

Up from Firelink into the Undead Burg: the merchant, the Taurus Demon, Solaire and the dragon's bridge.

The Undead Burg is the first real area: rooftops and alleys full of hollows, a merchant with a key you need later, a Black Knight guarding a ring, and the Taurus Demon on the walls. Past the demon comes a long bridge watched by a fire-breathing dragon. Before you leave, cut the dragon's tail for the Drake Sword, kick down the ladder that links the bridge to the Burg bonfire, and reach the Sunlight Altar bonfire on the far side. Bring a bow: the merchant sells one, with arrows.

Bonfire: Undead BurgArea
Location
Undead Burg · Undead Burg bonfire – From the Firelink Shrine bonfire, take the stairs past the dead tree and the aqueduct up into the Burg, cross the little bridge on the left and go through the fog gate on the right. Climb the stairs inside and leave by the door to the outdoor stairs. Partway up, the dragon crashes down overhead: back off and keep your shield up until it flies off. Beat the hollows waiting behind wooden barriers and the archer above, then climb the second flight: the bonfire room is at the top on the left. Light it.
Requires
Summary
The Burg's bonfire, in a small room at the top of the outdoor stairs. Rest here: every route through the Burg starts from it.

Wooden ShieldWeapon
Location
Undead Burg · Undead Burg bonfire – From the bonfire, go back down the stairs and open the door in the building the archer stood on. The corpse is out on its balcony. If the door stays shut, it needs the Master Key.

Undead Merchant (Male)NPC
Location
Undead Burg · Merchant's alley – Leave the Wooden Shield building: two spear soldiers stand to your left across the way (kick their shields down or throw fire at their legs). Smash the crates where they stood to uncover stairs going down. At the bottom, kill the hollow hiding behind the cabinets past the fireplace on the right, then go through the door ahead: the merchant sits out on the balcony.
Requires
Summary
The Burg's merchant: a key you need later, three one-off items, a bow and arrows. Never hit him.

Residence KeyKey item
Location
Undead Burg · Merchant's alley – From the bonfire, go back down the stairs to the door under the archer's post. With that door behind you, kill the two spear soldiers to your left, smash the crates by them and take the stairs down. Kill the hollow behind the cabinets past the fireplace, go out the door ahead onto the balcony and buy the key from the Undead Merchant. He has only one.
Requires
Summary
A one-off key from the Burg merchant. It opens a locked house in this area and the door of a man held captive further down in the Burg.

Buy a bow while you are here

The dragon's tail on the bridge ahead comes off only to arrows fired from below. The merchant sells a Short Bow and Wooden Arrows without limit: buy the bow and a few dozen arrows now, or come back once the ladder shortcut from the bridge is open.

Light CrossbowWeapon
Location
Undead Burg · Merchant's alley – Go back inside from the merchant's balcony and leave by the other exit, on the left. Take the stairs down into the alley, beat the four hollows at the back and climb the ladder there to a rooftop (the Throwing Knives on its corpse are sold without limit). Make a running jump over the gap into the doorway ahead and go up the stairs to the ledge: the crossbow and its bolts are on a corpse. Drop through the gap in the railing to land on the rooftop where you came in.
Requires
Summary
A light crossbow with a stack of bolts, on a ledge above the alley.

RubbishConsumable
Location
Undead Burg · Burg entrance – Go back to the rooftop where you first entered the Burg, smash the barrels on its right and drop to the ledge below, then all the way down into the alley. (From the alley building's soul item, just step back out.) Turn right; two hollows climb over the wall to meet you. Cross the small bridge on the right into the building: the corpse lies outside its far door. It is a trap: four hollows hang on the walls to the right, so hit their hands to drop them before they climb up.
Requires
Summary
Looks worthless, but a trade later in the game turns it into a Titanite Chunk. Keep it.

Humanity (Undead Burg walkway)Consumable
Location
Undead Burg · Burg entrance – From the Rubbish corpse, go straight ahead and climb the ladder. Follow the walkway to its end: the corpse is there. Drop through the broken section of the walkway to land back on the outdoor stairs below the bonfire.
Requires
Summary
A fixed Humanity at the end of a high walkway.

Soul of a Lost Undead (firebomb roof)Consumable
Location
Undead Burg · Undead Burg bonfire – Leave the bonfire room and cross the bridge on the left, keeping right with your shield up while firebombs rain down. Beat the two axe hollows inside the doorway and the soldier outside its other door, then climb the stairs on the right past three more hollows. Turn back toward the way you came: a ladder on the left leads up to the throwers' roof, and the corpse is up there.
Requires
Summary
A soul item on the roof where the firebomb throwers stand.

Gold Pine Resin x3Consumable
Location
Undead Burg · Undead Burg bonfire – Climb down from the firebomb roof and clear the archer at the top of the small tower on the left. Back at the bottom, open the house on the right with the Residence Key: the chest inside holds them.

Black Knight (Undead Burg)Boss
Location
Undead Burg · Black Knight's stairs – From the bonfire, cross the firebomb bridge on the left, go through the building beyond, climb the stairs on the right and carry on past the small archer tower until stairs lead down on one side and up on the other (from the resin house, just drop off the ledge). The knight stands at the foot of the downward stairs with his back to you. He can't follow you up the ladder to the firebomb roof, so lure him there and finish him with firebombs or a bow from the top.
Requires
Summary
A tough armoured knight who does not come back once killed. He drops a sure Titanite Chunk and may drop a Knight's Honor weapon.

Black Knight SwordWeapon
Location
Undead Burg · Black Knight's stairs – The Black Knight at the foot of the downward stairs may drop it when he dies. The sword is a rare drop, and he never returns. If it doesn't drop, farm the sword-carrying Black Knights in the game's final area: they come back every time you rest.
Requires
Summary
A rare weapon for Knight's Honor. This knight is the first chance at it; if it doesn't drop, the respawning sword knights near the end of the game are the farm.
Sources

Black Knight ShieldWeapon
Location
Undead Burg · Black Knight's stairs – Same knight, same kill as the Black Knight Sword: when he dies he may drop the shield instead of the sword, never both. The chance is low, and every Black Knight on the route rolls for it again. If it hasn't dropped by then, the respawning Black Knights in the game's final area are the farm.
Requires
Summary
A rare shield for Knight's Honor that any Black Knight may drop.

Blue Tearstone RingCollectible
Location
Undead Burg · Black Knight's stairs – Walk past the spot where the Black Knight stood, at the foot of the stairs: the ring is on the corpse there. If you'd rather not fight him, lead him into the resin house and slip out the back to grab it.
Requires
Summary
A ring that raises defence while your health is low.

Crystal Lizard (Undead Burg tower)Other
Location
Undead Burg · Taurus Demon's tower – From the Black Knight's stairs, take the upward flight toward the tower. A soldier at the top rolls a barrel down the second flight: drop through the broken wall to dodge it, or trigger it and step back around the corner (it happens only once). In the tower, leave the door straight ahead alone (it needs the Master Key) and climb two floors: smash the barrels there to find the lizard.
Requires
Summary
A Crystal Lizard hiding behind barrels in the tower. Kill it quickly before it escapes; besides Twinkling Titanite it may drop a Titanite Chunk.

Taurus DemonBoss
Location
Undead Burg · Taurus Demon's tower – From the Black Knight's stairs, take the upward flight to the tower (a soldier rolls a barrel down the second flight once: drop through the broken wall or bait it and back off). Ignore the locked door inside, climb to the fog gate at the top and step onto the wall. First climb the ladder on your right and kill the two archers, then come down and walk along the wall until the demon drops in ahead. Run back to the ladder, climb it and leap off onto him for a plunging attack, then keep your distance and throw firebombs, rolling under or past him when he closes in.
Requires
Summary
The Burg's boss, a huge demon on the castle wall. It guards the way to the bridge.

Solaire of AstoraNPC
Location
Undead Burg · Hellkite bridge – Take the stairs down from the Taurus Demon's fog gate. At the bottom, the locked door is for later (it leads down to the Lower Burg) and the long bridge lies to the left. Solaire stands out on the platform to the right, gazing at the sun.
Requires
Summary
A friendly knight who offers co-operation. Meeting him here starts his story.

Solaire: accept his offer (White Sign Soapstone)Quest step
Location
Undead Burg · Hellkite bridge – On his platform, talk to Solaire again and again and answer yes each time: he hands you the White Sign Soapstone, used to help other players in their worlds.
Requires
Summary
Talking to Solaire here gives the White Sign Soapstone and lets his story go on later.

Drake SwordWeaponMissablePoint of no return
Location
Undead Burg · Hellkite bridge – From the Taurus Demon's fog gate, go down the stairs and out onto the long bridge on the left. Sprint along its right side: the dragon sweeps the bridge with fire, so make for the stairs going down on the right at the halfway point. At the bottom, take the larger door first and kick down the ladder at the end: it links to the Undead Burg bonfire (buy a Short Bow and a few dozen arrows from the merchant if you have none). Then take the smaller door to the bridge's lower level, kill the two soldiers, and from the right-hand edge shoot the dragon's dangling tail until it falls. The sword goes straight into your inventory.
Why you can lose it
Cut the tail before the dragon dies: once it is dead there is no tail left, and the sword is gone until the next run.
Point of no return
Killing the dragon on the Undead Burg bridge. A dead dragon leaves no tail to cut, so the Drake Sword is lost until the next run.
Requires
Summary
A rare weapon for Knight's Honor, cut from the dragon's tail on the bridge, and strong this early.
Sources
Report an issue

The gate on the far side of the bridge opens only from the altar side, so the one way to the Sunlight Altar now is straight across the top of the bridge, under the dragon. The way under the bridge, past the rats and up the ladder, leads into the Undead Parish instead.

Bonfire: Sunlight AltarArea
Location
Undead Burg · Sunlight Altar – From the tail spot, return through the small door and climb back onto the bridge deck. Wait in the shelter at the top of the stairs until the dragon leaves its perch and lands on the bridge, then sprint under it, between its legs, into the doorway behind it. Turn sharp right through the door there: the bonfire is in this passage, with a lever to pull (the dragon flies off and the gate into the Parish opens). Light the bonfire.
Requires
Summary
The bonfire beyond the dragon's perch, next to the Warrior of Sunlight altar. Its lever opens the gate into the Undead Parish.

Before you kill the dragon

Killing the dragon on the bridge ends any chance at its tail, so cut the tail first: the Drake Sword is lost for this run otherwise. Leaving the dragon alive costs nothing.

Hellkite DragonBoss
Location
Undead Burg · Hellkite bridge – From the Undead Burg bonfire, climb the shortcut ladder and the stairs onto the middle of the bridge; the dragon returns to the bridge until it is dead. From the top of those stairs, shoot it once to make it jump down, then hit its feet with your weapon in both hands and retreat down the stairs before it turns or breathes fire. It heals itself when badly hurt, so keep the pressure on. Cut its tail first.
Requires
Summary
The dragon on the Burg bridge. An optional fight for a large haul of souls; very hard this early.

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.
