Walkthrough: Dark Chasm of Old

  • Leave this for late: the portals are tough and every attempt costs a Human Effigy
  • After meeting Darkdiver Grandahl in all three places, join the Pilgrims of Dark
  • From Hidden Chamber in Black Gulch, go up and drop by the first worm to his ledge; offer a Human Effigy to open the portal
  • Inside, kill six foes (two heavy, two pyromancers, two shades), light the cauldron with a torch lit from a Flame Butterfly and drop down the misty hole
  • Speak to Darkdiver Grandahl afterwards to rank up and get Resonant Soul
  • From Under Castle Drangleic in Drangleic Castle, open his portal and clear the four foes without falling off the ledges; light the cauldron and drop down
  • From Shaded Ruins in Shaded Woods, drop down the hole by the second tower and clear his third portal (four foes)
  • The third portal also leads to the Darklurker; no summons. Reward: Darklurker Soul and 35,000 souls
  • Rank up with Darkdiver Grandahl after all three for Great Resonant Soul, and after the boss for Climax, the Xanthous set and the Dragon Chime
