The Pit

The deep hole beside Majula. Descending it needs ladders or the Silvercat Ring, and leads to the Grave of Saints and the Gutter.

Walkthrough: The Pit / Grave of Saints

  • Buy the Silvercat Ring from Sweet Shalquoir (13,400 souls) before descending
  • Take off your armour and drop to the first wooden platform in the pit for a Radiant Lifegem
  • The next platform has a Pharros' Lockstone; then jump across for Poison Moss
  • Drop to the ledge and rest at Harval's Resting Place, then warp back to Majula
  • Descend again past the moss, keep dropping and loot the Ring of the Evil Eye+1 at the bottom, then dress again
  • Warp to Harval's Resting Place; Rat King covenant members may summon you as an invader here
  • In the round room take the Large Soul of a Nameless Soldier
  • Up the steps to the left, grab the Small Smooth & Silky Stones
  • Use a Pharros' Lockstone to drop the bridge near the top; cross for Poison Moss, then go upstairs for Whisper of Despair and a Torch
  • Back across, climb the ladder near the end, turn left and grab the Homeward Bones at the end room; light the Grave Entrance bonfire
  • Defeat the Royal Rat Vanguard: kill normal rats until the mohawked one appears (no summons). Reward: Royal Rat Vanguard Soul and 11,000 souls
  • Talk to the Rat King; he sells Corrosive Urns, Dung Pies, Common Fruit, Red Leech Troches and Triclops Snake Troches
  • Join the Rat King covenant here if you want to earn rewards defending its domains
  • Drop down the hole for a Pharros' Lockstone, then use the coffins to reach the walkway and the Bleed Stone at its end
  • Jump to a small ledge for the Disc Chime if you dare
  • On the bridge kill the Crystal Lizard, jump the gap and open the chest for the Ash Knuckle Ring
  • Drop down, deal with the exploding undead, then take the Sublime Bone Dust in the blocked tunnel; skeletons hold Great Heal and Homeward Bones
  • Exit through the other tunnel and climb down the right-hand ladders for a Human Effigy, a Radiant Lifegem and a Token of Spite in the bottom chest
  • Leave via the tunnel past the poison statues, drop onto the roof (weak floor) and down to The Gutter's first bonfire
  • NG+: the bridge corpse now has Twinkling Titanite instead of the Bleed Stone, and a dark Firekeeper spirit drops the Dingy set
