![]() Aggro the crabs with arrows and get them to chase you to the entrance of the cave where you fight Horace. There is an easier and safer way to clear out the lake of Giant Ember Crabs.The large tree-pillars that seem to support these caverns are reminiscent of the Arch-trees of Ash Lake from Dark Souls I. It is presumed that this area is close to Lost Izalith because of these creatures and the fact that the Quelana pyromancy tome is found here by a large, petrified spider, which is quite likely to be Quelana herself. The Demon Ruins area is full of references to Dark Souls 1, including a number of statues and petrified Capra Demons and Taurus Demons, as well as live demonic statues and basilisks.The ballista shot can also be used to break open a wall guarding a hidden item ( Speckled Stoneplate Ring) towards the back of the level.If a ballista shot hits this stonework, it will open a permanent one way shortcut to the Old King's Antechamber Bonfire On the opposide side of the map from the worm, there is a mound of exposed stonework.If you stand behind this small hill, you can get the worm caught in the line of fire from the ballista as it tries to shoot you. Behind the huge worm in the main area, there is a small incline in the ground.At the end of this path is a ladder that brings you up underneath the ballista. This path takes you past hound-rats, basilisks, and a great-sword wielding black knight. It can be turned off by following an underground path. Ballista shots fall from the sky in the main area.Lightning Stake (Carthus Sandworm drop).Fume Ultra Greatsword (Knight Slayer Tsorig drop).It is possible to follow the path upwards and fight the "Ancient Wyvern" Boss here as well as "The Nameless King". ![]() ![]() You should now find yourself incredibly high up on the side of a cliffs edge. So simply sit to the left hand side of the dragon statue and a nice little cutscene will play followed by you being teleported off. You should see the dragon statue shown in the image below: Step 3 - Use the Gesture Now that you have successfully located the Dragons statue you need to use the Gesture which you purchased earlier to transport to the secret area called Archdragon Peak. Take the left door into the next larger chamber then take the route to the left - shown in image below: Follow the route and eventually up the spiral stairs and outside. Head straight through the sewer but look out for the crumbled wall on your right that leads through into another room with even bigger rats (x 2). You should now be in the sewer area where the giant rats are. Now follow the crumbling path downwards and take the circular entrance on your left. Drop down the hole at the end of the corridor, on the right. This is a tight area so do your best to roll and dodge their attacks. Head inside and follow the route onwards whcih eventually leads round to the right (where there are many mobs some with bow and arrow weapons). Head through the cell door and outside, following the path right and down two flights of stairs. Head left and straight through the tight corridor, avoiding the ghoul which tries to stab you through the cell door. ![]() Take a left at the end of the bridge then another left and drop down to the lower level of the prison. After a few seconds turn left (by the wraiths) and through the entrance to cross over the bridge like path (crossing over to the other side of the prison). Run to the end of the corridor, take a sharp right and run along the ledge. If you're not familiar with this area then follow the steps below: From the prison bonfire, take the route through the cell door.which leads downstairs. Ultimately you need to find the sewer where the big rats are and then head upstairs and outside to the dragon statue. The screenshot above shows this areas bonfire. ![]() Step 2 - Find the Dragon Statue Next you need to head to the prison area of The Boreal Valley. Nothing too exciting about this gesture but it's a very important part for reaching the Archdragon Peak area. Give it a try and your character will sit down patiently as he waits for your next order. Ok, enough of the chat let's take a look at the exact directions to find this secret area… Step 1 - Buy the Old Dragon Gesture In the room after Oceriros, the Consumed King, you will be able to buy the Old Dragon gesture which quite literally means to sit. The Archdragon Peak is just one of a selection of secret areas that you can visit with this one in particular being part of a trophy/achievement. As you may already know, Dark Souls 3 contains a massive map, literally huge with a tonne of verticality and hidden pathways and secret areas. In this guide I will show you exactly how to get there and explain where to buy the gesture that will help you along the way. The Archdragon Peak is a secret location in Dark Souls 3 that is only accessible using a precise set of directions and a purposeful manoeuvre known as a gesture. ![]()
