Shrine of Amana (1)

Go downstairs and open the door. Destroy the branch holding the corpse so it will fall down the swamp below. Follow the path and you'll find an alcove with a mushroom bug and a chest. Open it to get Wilted Dusk Herb x2 and a Skeptic's Spice.

Backtrack and continue going downstairs until you reach the bottom. Loot the corpse under the stairs to get a Large Soul of a Nameless Soldier. Carefully exit the building; there's an enemy who will rush towards you from the right side. Take him out and follow the pointy rocks around. If you're able to destroy the branch holding the corpse above, you'll find it here. Loot it to get Flame Butterfly and Twinkling Titanite.

Beware of the underwater creatures; fortunately, you'll know their location by finding the yellow mist they're emitting. They can also be locked-on so you can kill them before they even attack you. Continue towards the house in the middle. There's a chest behind it so go around to the right, kill the swamp creature and destroy the cursed urn to reach it. Loot Crimson Water x3 from it.

Enter the house and talk to the NPC inside. Keep talking to her to receive a Smooth and Silky Stone. Leave the house and continue forth. The next path is filled with several swamp creatures and armed clerics. Loot the corpses nearby to get Soul of a Lost Undead and Skeptic's Spice, Soul of a Lost Undead and Torch x3, and Large Soul of a Proud Knight. Continue forth and look to the left. There's a submerged chest there; make sure to defeat the swamp creature lurking near the chest before looting it. Open it to get a Dragon Charm.

Continue along the tunnel. There are several swamp creatures inside a cavern to the left. Kill them all and loot a Twinkling Titanite, and Smooth and Silky Stone x3. Continue through the misty door (safe) to reach the next area.

There's a bonfire inside the ruins to the right. Be careful of the enemies that are capable of firing long-ranged projectiles. There's a swamp creature lurking along the bonfire's doorway so don't get caught off guard. Next, make your way to the mage and kill him. Be careful of the swamp creature nearby and the other mage that may have released a homing projectile on you. You can use the pillars and walls for cover.

Continue along the path to the left and kill the lurking swamp creature beside the ramp and find the Pharros Contraption near the pillars. Use a Lockstone to reveal a breakable wall. Destroy it and loot the Helix Halberd from the chest inside.

Follow the path until you reach the ruins in the middle. Kill the mage there then turn to the right. Loot the corpse in between the ruins near the torch to get a Fire Seed. If you head to the left, you'll find a submerged pathway. If you follow it, it will lead to locked door; just take note of its location for now and continue along the main path.

There's another long-range mage along the path with so little cover so your best bet is to run towards it and evade its projectiles. Be careful of the swamp creatures along the way as well. Alternatively, you can also go around the ruins in the middle (be careful not to stray too far in the water; there's a sudden drop nearby) and run towards a pillar near the mage. This way you can get rid of him.

There's a long pathway behind the cyclops leading to two lootable corpses. You have to move carefully while looking down to avoid falling to the deep waters. The path narrows down as you get near the pillars with the corpses. There's also a swamp creature and two mages along the way so be careful when dealing with them. Once clear, loot the corpses to get an Estus Flask Shard and Radiant Lifegem.

Backtrack to the main path and enter the next house. Loot the corpse inside to get Large Soul of a Proud Knight and Old Radiant Lifegem. If you're also human, you can find a summon sign inside to summon Felicia the Brave to help you clear the next area.

Leave the house and anticipate an attack from an armed cleric to the left. There are more of those pesky mages along the way so quickly close the distance and take them out. Right before reaching the misty door, there are a couple of those armed clerics; fall back if necessary and take them out using ranged attacks. Once the area is clear, climb the ramp to the left to loot a skeleton containing Alluring Skull x3. Before entering the misty door, check the corpse at the edge of the sudden drop to get a Soul of a Hero and Divine Blessing.
