DARK SOULS III guide · After exiting the Undead Settlement
← All areas in this guide

Exiting the Undead Settlement elevator leads directly into this forested, marshy expanse connecting multiple major paths. You must traverse through flocks of transformed avian hollows and outposts of hostile exile warriors to reach the next regions. Exploring the flooded lower grounds leads both to the Cathedral of the Deep via the Crystal Sage boss and further downward into Farron Keep.

Tips

  • Equipping fire-infused weapons will panic the Corvians and Lycanthropes, temporarily interrupting their aggressive combo attacks.
  • Deep marsh water slows your running speed and prevents rolling normally, but using the Quickstep weapon skill allows you to move through it without penalty.
  • You can lure the two hostile exile warriors guarding the Farron Keep ladder to the hole and let them fall down to their deaths.
