During the passage of some games for experienced gamers, everything can go smoothly and there will be problems with only one location. For some, the obstacle will be passing the secondary boss, for someone - the main one. Catacombs in Dark Souls - a location that was not everyone's teeth. How to get through it?
About the game
Before you go down to the Dark Souls catacombs, it's worth a little talk about the project itself. The first part of this video game appeared in 2011 on the console and in 2012 on the PC. "Dark Souls" is a project of Japanese developers.
Game events transfer the player to the fictional kingdom of Lordran. Many immediately guess in a virtual location medieval Europe. The city was cursed, and the inhabitants turned into undead. A protagonist is a living dead who must bring sacred fire so that everything falls into place.
In 2014, the second part of the series appeared. The same team worked on it. The developers decided not to get attached to the history of the last project. This time the nameless protagonist goes to Dranglik to be healed of the undead. To do this, he will have to fight with the demons of this location.
In 2016, another catacomb became known. Dark Souls 3 again tells a new story. Events take place in Lothrick. Not far from this place are the lords of the ashes. The protagonist must return them to their thrones. Only in this way can he gain their strength and influence the Fire of the future.
Tips
While passing the catacombs in Dark Souls it is worth considering some points. First you need to make sure that all studded bridges are deployed. This is important, because without doing this, you still have to go back to the beginning.
It is also necessary to pay attention to all the underground stairs, rocks, bridges, etc. Some of them can be beneficial, others can noticeably harm. To overcome skeletons in the catacombs, you need to use divine weapons. Otherwise, they will be revived, and accordingly they will return again to confront you.
The battle with the necromancers
It is also worth remembering the necromancers that are in each section of the catacombs. It is advisable to give up all strength to destroy these characters. They can resurrect skeletons and make passage difficult. If you do not have time to kill all the pursuers, you can try to drop them from the rocks.
Many players recommend killing necromancers with a bow. Each enemy will need about 40 arrows. But at the same time, it is desirable that agility and strength are well pumped.
Statues
Pay attention to bonfires in the catacombs of Dark Souls. Once in the location with waterfalls, you can find a bonfire behind the first switch. There is a secret passage: it can be found next to the steps that lead to the next switch. You can hit the wall, but you have to dodge the statue.
In general, there are many statues in this location. They need to beware as they are traps. Some spikes leave that cause damage. Passing by them it is necessary to use a shield and rolling. Typically, on dangerous statues you can see a coat of arms or other signs.
Way to the boss
How to get into the catacombs of Dark Souls? You need to use the path in the Temple of Fire. It is easy to get to the cemetery through it. From there, the killing of skeletons and necromancers will begin. We must not forget that useful objects can fall from corpses. You need to go down the stairs along the mountain. So we get into the catacombs.
How to head down?
Traveling in this location, the player meets the boss. It is located at the very bottom of the valley. There are several options for passing:
In the first case, you just need to go down the stairs, bridges and everything that leads down. The location will lead the player to the last necromancer. In general, it is advisable to cope with all rivals and clean out the territory. After the hall with Prowling Demon you will need to go down the stairs and go to the room on the right. There will again be skeletons, after which we find another staircase, and at the end we will be waited by a necromancer with archers.
If you use slices, you can get to the bottom as quickly as possible. You need to fall from the rocks and do not forget to heal. After the first bonfire, you will need to jump from the bridge, and from there - quickly get on the broken bridge. From here you need to turn left, and going down below, take a soul. Then it will remain to jump from the ledge to the ledge.
Secret passage of the catacombs in Dark Souls requires the use of a spiral staircase. The player will need to jump at the end of it, and then find a small ledge on the left. You will need to roll further, but some jumps will cause damage. Once you find the ledge with your soul, just jump to the tunnel. In it we are looking for a blacksmith who punches a hole in the wall to the lower valley.
Artifacts
It is worth remembering that some artifacts may be needed not only in the passage of this location, but also in further promotion of the plot. Lucernhammer is hidden in the catacombs. Halberd can be found near the second necromancer.
Jumping off the second bridge, you can find a large scythe, and next to the sign of the Paladin's call is a set of Cleric and a club. To find the Eye of Death, you have to go to the Titan demon. Next to the giant skeleton is the Ring of the Dark Moon. other artifacts fall after killing enemies. Therefore, you need to kill everyone who meets on the way.
Similar location
In the Dark Souls 3 catacombs of Kartus - a popular location. It is similar to the one in the first part. The player will also have to go through the tunnels, defeat skeletons and undead to get to the lord of Volnar.
To take breaks in passing, you need to visit bonfires. These are objects in the game that help restore health, cope with poisoning, bleeding, fill a flask, reverse devastation, and much more. But to do all this, you need to know where the bonfires are in the catacombs.
The first is located immediately at the entrance to the catacombs. You need to turn right, go through the ledge to the bridge, go down and go left. You need to be careful, because skeletons and traps await the hero everywhere. Next, we go straight and right, fight with the skeletons, and then again we go right and right. After we notice a small passage, beyond which there will be a bonfire.
The next bonfire will appear after killing the boss. A third can be found after the demon's death. You just need to go down, go through the passage, turn right.
Help
To get through the catacombs in Dark Souls 3, you need to know some secrets. For example, skeletons die forever if they are killed with blessed weapons. It is also easy to fight them with a mace or hammer. It will be easy to cope with them, fighting with a club 3 levels or higher, hardened for consecration.
Once in the hall with a demon and a facial expression, you can make them kill each other. You need to stand next to the latter, so that his ally begins to spit fire.
You also need to remember about the items that are important for the passage. For example, undead balls can be defeated by killing skeletons in a hat. These enemies will drop a Burning Shard of Bone and a Dark Gem.
There are traps in the catacombs that can be detected immediately. Some of them launch the stoves. By clicking on them, you can die from a volley of fire arrows. To cope with them, just use the shield. If skeletons are chasing a hero, you can lead them into a trap and turn on fire arrows.
At the third bonfire you can meet a demon. In order not to waste time and energy on him, you can pit his skeletons. To do this, run past him, and then go down to the lower arena. Run there until he goes down. It remains to go upstairs and watch how he fights with skeletons. If they do not defeat him, it will not be difficult to finish him off.
