Walkthrough: Shulva, Sanctum City
- You need the Dragon Talon from behind the forgotten door in Majula's pit, and a bow with arrows
- From Hidden Chamber in Black Gulch, cross the boss room and touch the shrine behind the primal bonfire
- Collect Dragon Charms and light Sanctum Walk; the stairs left lead to Old Growth Balms and a later shortcut
- Around the corner shoot the obelisk across the gap, drop to the raised platform and climb the building roof for the Poisonbite Ring+1
- Raise more pillars to crush the Sanctum Soldiers, grab Lifegems, then ride the second platform up to a roof with the Dark Quartz Ring+3
- Shoot the obelisk below to reach the Long Bow +7, then take the Poison Stone on the path
- In the room of Corrosive Egg Insects, a corner body has a Goldenfruit Balm; go around the ledge for an Old Growth Balm
- Use the other building's obelisks to extend platforms, grabbing Lightning Urns and an Elizabeth Mushroom upstairs in the insect room
- By the poison statue cluster collect Poison Throwing Knifes and Cracked Red Eye Orbs, then Magic Bolts beside another obelisk
- Hit that obelisk and ride the rising structure into the building to light Tower of Prayer
- Drop to a ledge for a Dried Root, then grab the Sanctum Mace in the room and drop down the floor hole
- Shoot the visible obelisks uphill for Lloyd's Talismans and Twinkling Titanite, and activate the last one behind the building
