Dark Souls 2: Drangleic Castle - interiors

Light a bonfire

After the boss fight, go to the next chamber and light a bonfire.

Climb the ladder

Use a passage to the left from the bonfire. Go down the stairs and climb the ladder located near a lift, which you cannot use right now. Open the iron gate at the top and enter the next chamber.

Open the chest

Inside, you will see several stone guardians. Try to kill them close to the stone monument. By absorbing their souls, you will activate the lift. Go through the door to the next room. Here you will find two chests, from which you can take Old Knight Hammer, Caitha's Chime and Soul Greatsword.

Go up the stairs

Walking along, you will reach a big chamber. First, run up the stairs and turn right. You have to be very careful now, because you will be fighting archers carrying long bows. Kill the enemies standing on the balcony to the left and then head to the one to the right. After the fight, open the chests, in which you will find Fire Greatarrow and Firestorm. Be careful when opening the chest on the right, because it releases poison.

Kill the knights

Go downstairs and deal with the enemies guarding the door. First, lure the armoured mammoth to you. Defeat him near the stairs so that the guards won't attack you. Then, lure one of the knights and kill him at a safe distance. After dealing with the last enemy, head through the corridor.

Open the door

Open the big door and head outside. Another mammoth fight awaits you. After killing it, go up the stairs and use the ladder. There are some more archers at the top. Kill them so that they won't interrupt you in further exploration of the room.

Use the lever

Go downstairs and open the door. Enter the armoury. Loot the corpse lying near the wall and take Repair Powder and Flame Butterfly. Take Estus Flask Shard from the chest. Using the lever, open the gate that blocks the way to the next door.

Run down the stairs

Go through the door and kill the knight standing on the stairs. Run straight until you reach the bonfire that you have lit earlier.

Use the lift

Approach the hole in the ground and use the lift. Go to the very top, open the door and enter the chamber.

Search the room

Search the chests when inside. Besides a few useful items, you will find a key that unlocks the way to the further part of the location. Don't worry about the cage in the middle, you will deal with it later.

Open the door

Use the lift to go down and open the door with the key. You will see a long corridor with a fog at the end of it. When walking through the passage, you will encounter a few stone guardians. You can avoid the fight, but you will need to concentrate in order to do that. Notice the monuments on both sides of the passage. The ones having their head in the right place will come to life. You can cut off their heads to defeat them without a fight.

Kill the knight and go through the fog

The last obstacle before reaching the fog is a knight. After killing him, head through the fog to find the Looking Glass Knight.
