Description

A grand castle.

To enter the castle, you need to kill the Royal Swordsmen that spawn. Make sure they die near the statues to allow their souls to be absorbed. Once each statue has fulfilled it's goal, it will lift the bolt. Once both bolts are up, the doors will open.

Connections

Bonfires

  • King's Gate
    Found immediately infront of you after descending the ladder down from the entrance hall of Drangleic Castle.
  • Forgotten Chamber
    Following the stairways upwards toward the room containing three Royal Guards and a painting of the Queen. Continue up the stairs to the first bowman and kill him. Look to the left for a ladder. Go down the ladder and around the corner. There will be two panels on the wall. Press the interact button on the left side to reveal a hidden bonfire.
  • Under Castle Drangleic
    Found in the room under the gauntlet room near the King's Gate, accessed through the third door on the left side.

Loot

Lower Drangleic Castle

Upper Drangleic Castle

  • 10x Fire Greatarrow in a chest in the Alonne Knight Captain hall.
  • Near the Forgotten Chamber bonfire you can find Hunter's Blackbow in a chest.
  • From the Central Castle Drangleic bonfire you can find an Estus Flask Shard. Progress down the stairs from the bonfire, continuing past the room with four archers and the Primal Knight. When you get outside, there are staircases going both up and down. Going down leads to a chest with the shard, and a shortcut back to the bonfire.

Notes

  • You will be invaded by the Nameless Usurper once you go past the cursed painting of the Queen. She spawns behind you near the painting room doorway.
  • Before opening the gate, infinite Royal Soldiers will spawn in an alcove to the left of the entrance.
  • If you wish to clear the room with the six soul-devouring doors, it is advisable to open the doors on one side of the room only until the ruin sentinels stop respawning, then move to the other side and repeat the process. This will insure that you only need to worry about one ruin sentinel at a time.
