Dark Souls: The Duke's Archives II - p. 1
![]() | ![]() |
Kill the enemy hiding on the right. [1] Head now towards an archer on the opposite side. [2]
Do not run to him but instead lure out his buddy, who lurks on the left. [2]

Go up the stairs and turn right to the library.

Inside you'll encounter two mages - one of them can be attacked.

A second mage is located on the upper level of library.

If you have a good bow, you can try to kill them both from a distance, which will make your way easier.
![]() | ![]() |
Run to the left, through a small tunnel (in some cases mages teleport there). [1] On the other side you'll encounter an archer - but watch out also for a warrior lurking on the right. [2]
![]() | ![]() |
Walk up the stairs. [1] You'll find a lever on your way - ignore it for now and focus on clearing the upper area where you're heading. [2]
Once you kill an archer and a soldier at the top, return to the lever and switch it. Stairs will turn.

![]() | ![]() |
Kill a soldier on the other side of the room. [1] Before you go further to the upper part, you can go down to open the chest. [2]
You can manipulate the stairs in such way, that you'll be able to jump down on the ledge with another chest - there is Avelyn crossbow inside. But this task is difficult - you have to wait for a proper moment where the stairs are turning (activate the lever and run down to fall down on the ledge). So you might execute this only if your character uses crossbows.

![]() | ![]() |
Go back the stairs and kill another archer. [1] Behind the arch you can eliminate a mage. [2]
In this section of library the stairs have turned - jump there through a break in the railing.

Go up and open a chest on the right. You'll find inside Sorcery: Strong Magic Shield. Then turn the stairs again and run down to the exit.
