2021 - do not go AFK at the bonfires in this area. People invade and intentionally break your gear - i mean - it's bad enough you were prolly afk after a death and had to go change a diaper or load the laundry machine real quick - only to come back and find that ALL your gear is broken and you have no souls to repair.

Be warned, in the corridor that leads to to boss fog door, I lured the Dragonrider all the way to the stairs that lead into the room with arrows, and he was able to ring to bell, under the stairs, by thrusting is spear through the stairs.

The bonfire positioning in this area sucks! Having to go through the rocks over and over again just to beat the boss is a pain...

2 invisible hollows on both sides of the last long room with the dragon rider. (4 total)
Also a butterfly on the roof that drops a radiant lifegem on leftside
Left side also has red phantom hidden behind a stone thingy

This walkthrough could use a rewrite. For example, whoever wrote this wrote a section on the small statue of a woman and how lighting it on fire with a torch will illuminate the area but spawn Dark Spirits. While this is correct it also says that ''approaching the statue of the right spawn Leydia Pyromancers'' but there aren't statues to the immediate right of the small female statue you light on fire. Whoever wrote this is obviously speaking about the room beyond the fog door but it never mentions going through the fog door. It also says something about ''section 4'' but doesn't clarify which section this is supposed to be.

So this page is ripe for a rewrite.

yikes

Destroy the statues first then you won’t have to worry about the bells that the hollows ring for the specters. You’re welcome

This is one area where I definitely preferred the setup in the original version of the game.

All the complaining about Shrine of Amana, but this area is a million times worse in every conceivable way.

Bed of chaos mob version. I died 4 times to destroy 4 graves. Wtf is with the gankery?
