Undead Burg

DARK SOULS™: REMASTERED guide · The first major region after Firelink
← All areas in this guide

The Undead Burg is a sprawling, fortified settlement filled with hollow soldiers, archers, and traps that sits directly above Firelink Shrine. Players must navigate its ramparts, narrow alleyways, and towers to find shortcuts, secure bonfires, and confront the Taurus Demon on the high bridge. Defeating the boss grants access to the bridge leading toward the Undead Parish and the first meeting with Solaire of Astora.

Shops and people

  • Undead Merchant (Male): Sells basic weapons, chain armor pieces, standard shields, firebombs, throwing knives, repair tools, and keys.
  • Knight Solaire of Astora: Offers co-op allegiance and gives the White Sign Soapstone if spoken to multiple times.

Tips

  • Use a kick (forward + light attack) against shielded spear soldiers to instantly break their guard and open them for a riposte.
  • Clear the two crossbow hollows from the tower above the Taurus Demon before triggering the boss so you can use plunging attacks safely.
  • Kicking the ladder down under the bonfire room opens a permanent shortcut straight back up to the bonfire from the lower square.
