Walkthrough

From Darkroot Garden

  1. Use the elevator behind the bonfire cave to enter Flying Dragon Valley.
  2. Encounter the first Lightning Drake immediately after arriving.
  3. Continue across the bridge to face another Lightning Drake. Three more wait further in.
  4. Avoid engaging multiple drakes at once; lure and fight them one at a time.
  5. Ignore the large gate leading to New Londo Ruins as it cannot be opened from this side.
  6. Cross the bridge or head left to encounter the Dragon Zombie and progress toward Blighttown or New Londo Ruins.

From Blighttown

  1. Exit the elevator and continue upward to reach the opposite side of Flying Dragon Valley.
  2. Encounter a Lightning Drake and the Dragon Zombie near the cliff path.
  3. Proceed straight to find the iron door to New Londo Ruins (requires the Master Key or New Londo Ruins Key).
  4. The treasure near the Dragon Zombie includes Astora’s Straight Sword and Dragon Crest Shield.

From New Londo Ruins

  1. Enter through either of two routes:
    • Firelink Shrine-side Door: Requires Master Key or New Londo Ruins Key.
    • Watergate: Opens after using the Seal Key to drain New Londo.
  2. For the Firelink Shrine-side Door, proceed through the cliffs to encounter the Dragon Zombie and reach the Blighttown path.
  3. For the Watergate, advance toward Darkroot Garden while defeating Lightning Drakes.

Shortcuts

None explicitly present, but the Master Key unlocks the door between New Londo Ruins and Flying Dragon Valley, providing early access.
