Walkthrough
Surviving the fall
The first fall is the furthest, and thus causes the most damage.
At absolute minimum, around 1368 total combined HP and fall damage reduction is required to survive the fall.
Determining an exact minimum needed to survive can be difficult because both equip weight and forward momentum slightly increase fall damage.
If your max HP is low:
- Unequipping everything except for fall damage reduction items is recommended.
- Very slowly and carefully stepping off the edge to avoid forward momentum is recommended.
| Item | Effects |
|---|---|
| Third Dragon Ring | +7.5% max HP +12.5% max Stamina +12.5% max equipment load |
| Second Dragon Ring | +5% max HP +10% max Stamina +10% max equipment load |
| First Dragon Ring | +3% max HP +5% max Stamina +5% max equipment load |
| Life Ring | +5/7.5/12.5/15% max HP |
| Blue Seal | +3% max HP |
| Silvercat Ring | -600 falling damage taken |
| Flying Feline Boots | -450 falling damage taken |
| Sanctum Knight Leggings | -300 falling damage taken Makes your footsteps silent |
| Jester's Tights | -300 falling damage taken |
| Lion Warrior Skirt | -300 falling damage taken |
| Red Lion Warrior Cape | -300 falling damage taken |
| Lion Warrior Helm | -150 falling damage taken |
| Lion Warrior Cape | -150 falling damage taken |
| Lion Warrior Cuffs | -150 falling damage taken |
| Fall Control sorcery spell | -1599 falling damage taken |
- With the Silvercat Ring equipped (-600 falling damage) and everything else unequipped (0.5 equip load), 768 HP is enough to survive the fall.
- You can survive at 22 Vigor with nothing equipped but the Life Ring +0 (+5% HP) and the Blue Seal (+3% HP), 1480-1500 total HP.
- (Scholar of the First Sin) If unwilling to spend souls on the Silvercat Ring or level Vigor so much, Lion Clan Warrior equipment can be obtained early on by getting a Fragrant Branch of Yore from Melentia, the Forest of Fallen Giants trick jump, or No-Man's Wharf and running to the 3rd Shaded Woods bonfire.
- This may be the best option for low-Soul Memory Agape Ring builds wishing to go down ASAP. Just remember that you will also need a Fragrant Branch to free Straid of Olaphis for the Agape Ring, in addition to the Fragrant Branch found in Lost Bastille used to open the path to the Ruin Sentinels.
Ladders
Once you've reached Earthen Peak and either paid him 2,000 souls or defeated the area boss, Laddersmith Gilligan will move to Majula and offer to build ladders for The Pit.
- Pay 3,500 souls for the medium ladder, then climb down and jump across. The doorway below you leads to Grave of Saints.
- Pay 12,000 souls for the long ladder, then climb down. The platforms below you eventually lead to The Gutter. Up the other ladder next to you is a locked door which requires the Forgotten Key.

Skipping Grave of Saints:
- A chest contains the Ash Knuckle Ring, located just above the exploding Undead Citizens and the Gutter access
- Disc Chime is in the same room, you have to jump from the area with the chest.
- A crystal lizard is also on the bridge. Beware that it will likely drop its loot through the bridge.
Notes

- The loot under "Skipping Grave of Saints is also listed in the Grave of Saints page. Depending on how you encounter this area, you may correlate it with The Pit instead.
