Depths of the Painting
The Depths of the Painting is a frigid, icy valley at the lowest point of the Painted World of Ariandel, accessed by descending the giant frozen tree roots beneath the rope bridge. It features a frozen lake bed, an optional boss encounter, and a pathway leading back upward into a hollow tower. Players come here to defeat the optional boss for a unique weapon and the item required to unlock Undead Match PvP.

Tips
- Burn the Champion's Bones at the Firelink Shrine bonfire to unlock Undead Match multiplayer arena combat.
- Focus on bursting down the human Champion's Gravetender before the Gravetender Greatwolf enters the fight to avoid dealing with both threats simultaneously.
- Fire damage quickly staggers both the Greatwolf and regular wolves in this snowy expanse.
