  • Descend again past the moss, keep dropping and loot the Ring of the Evil Eye+1 at the bottom, then dress again

  • In the round room take the Large Soul of a Nameless Soldier

  • Use a Pharros' Lockstone to drop the bridge near the top; cross for Poison Moss, then go upstairs for Whisper of Despair and a Torch
  • Back across, climb the ladder near the end, turn left and grab the Homeward Bones at the end room; light the Grave Entrance bonfire
