Secret locations in Dark Souls III: Peak of the Ancient Dragons. Dark Souls III Walkthrough - Archdragon Peak - Archdragon Peak How to Get to Dragon Peak

IN Dark Souls 3 Ancient Dragon Peak Is one of the secret locations in the game. Visiting her is mandatory and will not affect certain endings or the main storyline in any way. If you still want to visit this territory, then you need to return to the arena where you were defeated. After going a little further than the boss's corpse, you will see a room. Having climbed into it, you should go down and find a meter-long body. In this place, an opportunity will open up to get a special gesture called "Old Dragon", which will help in the future.

Location

The next step is to get out of the prison. Passing the corridors, we find an elevator that will allow you to go deeper. Leaving the room, the player finds himself in an open area, where people and statues are located, looking at a beautiful palace located on a cliff. Here we use the previously received gesture, after which the main character sits down on a flying carpet and heads towards the castle, where two leaders are waiting for him:

Inhuman appearance

In Dark Souls 3, the archdragon's peak hides another unique opportunity. Moving on, the main character can take the form of a fantastic creature. To do this, you need to defeat each of the aforementioned leaders. After defeating the Ancient Wyvern, you can find the Dragon Head Stone. Having equipped this relic, it will be possible to spew out a fiery flame, causing damage in the area, and if you remove the mask, you can see that the character's head has ceased to resemble a human. After another triumphant battle over the Nameless King, you should climb to the very top of the cliff and sit for a while near the tombstone. As a reward, the gamer will be rewarded with a full dragon appearance. In order to activate it, you need to remove all uniforms from the character. It is impossible to transform into a human back at will. Only death will help to remove the curse. To all, a significant minus of inhuman appearance is the inability to wear armor and other means of protection.

To reach the target location, you must first get rid of Oceiros (the Consumed King), and also open the tomb next door (in the same place, when searching the body, you can find a new gesture "Dragon's Way". After exploring the latter, you can first return to the plateau for outside the dungeon of Irithyll, find the skeleton of a creature that is half-human, half-dragon. Proceeding further to the dead bodies, use the gesture you just learned, which will unlock the path to Dragon Peak, which was your initial goal.

Before you continue the passage of Dark Souls 3, we note that after studying the part of the location described above, it is very desirable to come back to the tomb behind Oceros (where the new gesture mentioned twice was discovered), extra walks are worth it, because now there you can pick up all the armor of the bloody dragon.

As for the new location, to which we diligently made our way all this time, we start in the middle of the gorge, here the variability of the route is zero - there is only one path along which we rise higher. We make our way upward, leaning on the left side, there is loot in the form of a tired warrior's soul on one of the corpses. There you will also be attacked by snake-like creatures armed with curved swords. They do not pose a big threat, but still do not relax.

Pay special attention to the enemy that uses two swords at once, with which he is well blocked from your attacks. In response to your attack, he is able to conduct a deadly counterattack, in general, be careful. Having dealt with all opponents, continue passing Dark Souls 3, climbing to the top of the cliff, there you will find a body, having searched it, take the gem.

When you go around the corner, be prepared for another enemy attack, this time the threat is carried by balls of fire, which he releases directly from his mouth. Further, on the left side of the terrain, there is still an enemy, and in front of the turn, his companion can jump out, therefore it is advisable to lure the first one out immediately, and not approach him himself. Any cover you can hide behind is a good help against fireballs.

Having slightly cleared the area, you can come to the same path that led us here, there is an elevator on the right, which, however, is not yet available. You need to go through the place where you have already fought against creatures that look like snakes, you will soon find the first fire on the map and at the same time a body, when searched, coal falls out. After the fire, go further up the damaged stairs, on the right side you can pick up the soul of a nameless soldier, on the left - titanite.

Now continue through Dark Souls 3 going under the archway, but still the best alternative is to climb the stairs accessible from the right side. Then go along the steps to the left, you will stumble upon an ambush. What we did not recommend to go under the arch: so you would have run into that very ambush from the front side, but now you have a head start in the form of being able to attack first.

Beware of a snake-like enemy who is lying on top and waiting for an opportunity to rush down on you. Another local enemy has a hefty ax, which, despite its size, flies at an enviable speed, so be careful with it. It is best to try to roll up behind him, from where you can inflict the most destructive damage.

Having finished with the enemies, examine the body on the arch, there will drop out a great shield of the Ancient Dragon, and you can find another corpse under the stairs below the arch, search it for loot. Now you can already activate the lever that unlocks the main gate, but before visiting the watchtower, it is advisable to go to the left of the gate, where the doors are smaller. There is also an enemy like a snake. The terrain is interesting for us by the presence of a ring, go inside and stumble upon a rather strong enemy, which we will analyze separately in the next chapter.

The transformation into a dragon has already become a feature of the games in the series Dark souls, the search for a way to transform turns into an exciting journey, and the look itself carries not only cosmetic improvements. In this guide, we will explain in detail how to become a dragon.

To begin with, in order not to run twice, you need to get to the location Consumed King's Garden and kill the boss Oceiros, the Consumed King... You can get there after killing Dancers of the Cold Valley, from her bonfire, climb the stairs and go left. Having won Oceirosa, open the door behind the room where the fight was with him. The body of a knight will lie at the broken fountain, and he has a gesture The path of Dragon, we will need it later.

Dragon Torso Stone Locations

IN Dungeons of Irithyll, near the elevator there is a statue of a seated dragon, go to it and take the stone.

Dragon Head Stone Locations

Use the gesture near the same dragon statue The path of Dragon, this will move you to a secret location Elder Dragon Peak... From the first bonfire, go to the castle and fight the boss Ancient wyvern, the dragon's head stone will be dropped from it.

Now we will find the improved shimmering dragon stones.

Shimmering Dragon Torso Locations

After defeating the wyvern, you will be sent to another place, there, in a large room with a bunch of stone dragons, go upstairs, kill the snake-magician there, otherwise he will call knights indefinitely, from the closed gate go down the stairs to the right and go to the wooden bridge, at the end of you another wyvern is waiting, climb the stairs up the hill, there move straight to the large bell (do not ring it) and the fire. Climb up the hill again to the pile of stone statues sitting around. You will see a mountain like a dragon, use the gesture again The path of Dragon and get a stone.

Shimmering Dragon Head Stone Locations

Go to the fire Guardians of the Abyss, there you will meet Deserter Hawkwood, the one that was sitting in Temple of Fire, kill him and get a stone. If you lose, give up the torso, but then you can take revenge. He will appear there only after you receive the stone with the torso. If he is not there, talk to him in Temple of Fire.

one of two secret locations of the third part of Dark Souls. In front of the boss Oceiros, the Consumed King, learn the Dragon Path gesture (near the bowl in the center of the room).

After killing Oceiros, use the bonfire and move to the Irithyll Dungeon. From the first bonfire location, go out into the corridor and turn right, and then left, to the bridge leading to the opposite side of this corridor.

Then again to the left and, without reaching a dead end, jump down to the latticed door (initially it is closed and opens from the other side). Inside, use the elevator and go outside. Here, by the cliff, you will find figures of dragons sitting in the Dragon's Path pose. Sit between them, after which the splash screen will begin.

In total, two bosses are waiting for you in the Archdragon Peak: Ancient Wyvern and Nameless King. To access the latter, you must ring the bell (the white mist of the entrance will appear directly opposite the bell, so don't be afraid of the pseudo-chasm in front of it).

If you have already defeated the Armor of the Dragonslayer, then after killing the Nameless King you can pick up the armor of the same name as a reward. Also, killing the King will give you the ability to take the Form of the Dragon.

Abandoned Graves

The second and last secret location of the game Dark Souls 3. Externally, completely (except for lighting) copies the Ash Cemetery and the Temple of Fire - the very first zones of the game.

Abandoned Tombs are easier to find than Archdragon Peak. The path to the location lies right behind Oceiros, the Consumed King.

Go into the passage behind the fire to the next room. There you will find the Path of the Dragon gesture and a chest with titanite scales, behind which an illusory wall hangs. Smash it to enter the Abandoned Graves.

Here you can find many useful sets, items and weapons:

I. Armor of the Black Knight with a small chance drops from opponents of the same name, as well as a glaive and an ax.

II. Armor of the Guardian of the Graves, which quite often drops from the Guardians themselves. Crescent blades can also be obtained from them.

III. In the corner where you previously fought the coiled warriors, which is armed with the Utigatan katana, lies the Blade of Chaos.

IV. An old merchant woman (the only familiar character you will meet in the altered Fire Temple) sells a beautiful Wolf Knight medium armor.

V. Three rings: Ring of Prayer (Faith +5), Ring with Hornet (increases critical hit by 30%; falls from the knight on the right side of the entrance to the Temple of Fire) and Ash Ring of Estus (increases the effect of an ash flask with estus).

Elder Dragon Peak (Archdragon Peak) - One of the secret areas of the world, which is not required to visit and is not important for obtaining any ending of the game, as is the case with. At the same time, to get to the Peak of the Ancient Dragons need a gesturethat is to be used in a certain place. And, of course, it will not do without a dragon, or rather capabilities transform into a dragon and get a set of Dragonslayer armor.

Elder Dragon Peak Bosses
