You'll find the first bonfire to the right, past the poisonous pond. You can run across it just don't stay long to avoid getting poisoned. Up the hill you'll find Chloanne. Exhaust her dialogue options to make her move to Majula. You'll know this when she mentions that she'll move shop after talking to her. She also sells Bonfire Ascetic, Titanite Shards, Soul Appease and Dead Again.

The Poison Moss you've gathered earlier from the moths in Huntsman Copse will prove their use here. If you're a cleric, having Caressing Prayer miracle will also save you some trouble in removing the poison. Start by luring or killing the large beast then head to the left to loot the corpse to get a Lifegem.

Guide Image

You can also find the following items in the area. Make sure to use items to boost your poison resistance and get out of the miasma once in a while to loot the items.

  • Titanite Shard
  • Fading Soul
  • Fading Soul x4
  • Smooth and Silky Stone x2
  • Common Fruit
  • Poison Throwing Knife x10
  • Titanite Chunk

If you enter the hole, there's a part there that's not reached by poison. Take out the skeleton to the right and loot a Fragrant Branch of Yore and Torch from the corpse there. If you enter the room, you'll find Gavlan there. Buy some poison-related items from him and loot the Raw Stone from the chest beside him. In the poison pool there's also a chest in the alcove. Open it to get a Fire Seed and Divine Blessing.

Once done, continue up the next ramp and loot the torch from the body along the way. You'll find more enemies blockading the closed tunnel entrance. You have to operate the lever on the ledge above to open it. First, climb the first ladder to the right to get Hexing Urn x10. Defeat or run past the enemies then climb the second ladder. Take out the undead there and operate the lever.

Head inside the tunnel and turn to the right to find the area's second bonfire. Light it up and rest if you want.

The Toxic Mines

After the bonfire, beware of the holes in the ground in the following area since you can fall down to the poisoned tunnels below. The tunnels have a good number of treasures so if you're not carrying a lot of souls, you might as well do a suicide run just to collect the items.

  • Soul of a Nameless Soldier – found at the end of the poisoned tunnel accessible through the ladder
  • Fading Soul – Falling down the hole near the second tunnel entrance aboveground
  • Simpleton's Spice – Found in the exit tunnel leading to the ramp.

There are two paths you can take here: the one to the left has a large beast waiting from behind the wooden barricade uphill. There's also an enclosed area to the right which will trap you with four butchers so don't carelessly wander there unless you're ready. Fortunately, there's a ramp and a ledge that you can use to run around and funnel them so you can deal with them one by one.

Guide Image

Be careful since there are also some exploding mummies behind the barricades. Loot the corpses here to find Lifegem x5, Green Blossom x3, Simpleton's Spice, Large Titanite Shard, Radiant Lifegem, Large Soul of a Brave Warrior, Skeptic's Spice and Titanite Shard. After you reach the tunnel that leads outside and the poisoned pit, head to the right first to grab a Fragrant Branch of Yore from the corpse near the ledge.

Continue uphill and lure the beast in destroying the barricade. After defeating it, drop down from the ledge to the left to find a chest containing a Poison Stone and Rotten Pine Resin x3. To leave this place, you have climb the ladder down and rush through the thick poison mist to reach the other ladder. If you want to play it safe, use a Homeward Bone instead.

From the second bonfire, continue to the next area to the right and take out the large enemies if you can deal good damage using ranged attacks, pyromancy or miracles. After crossing the wooden walkway in the middle, turn to the left and follow the path. Beware of the butcher hiding in the second corner. You'll find the Altar of Sunlight at the end of the path which you can enter the covenant and learn the Praise the Sun gesture.

The following items are found from the corpses in this poisoned area:

  • Human Effigy
  • Large Titanite Shard
  • Chameleon
  • Soul of a Brave Warrior

Guide Image

If you join the covenant, you'll also receive a Sun Seal which boosts miracle attack power. This is a good addition to clerics and other faith-build characters relying on miracles to deal ranged damage. Other characters can just ignore this. Continue forth to reach Earthen Peak.
