Walkthrough: Crystal Cave
- The first hidden bridge leads to a Humanity.
- A second hidden bridge leads to a Crystal Golem. Beyond it, drop left and go back into the little tunnel to catch three Crystal Lizards.
- From there, another unseen path slopes down to the Blue Titanite Slab.
- Up again, a Golden Crystal Golem guards a Blue Titanite Chunk.
- Take the last invisible path to the soul in front of a Moonlight Butterfly; it will usually attack you.
- The Man-Eater Shells drop Purging Stones and Twinkling Titanite; the Covetous Gold Serpent Ring improves your odds.
- Defeat Seath the Scaleless.
- Destroy the Primordial Crystal behind him first; until then he cannot be hurt.
- His long tail can be severed for the Moonlight Greatsword.
- Optional co-op around levels 60–75.
- Go back to the balcony bonfire, through the bookcase shortcut and into the small room to talk to Big Hat Logan and buy sorceries.
- For Big Hat's Set, buy all of his sorceries so he leaves and goes hollow.
- Need only the White Dragon Breath sorcery, the Big Hat and the Tin Crystallization Catalyst? Then killing him right away is fine.
- After he leaves, find him hollow in the room where you first met Seath, kill him and come back to this room for Big Hat's Set in a new chest.
- Climb back up the ladder, rotate the stairs, go out to the balcony and back into the prison tower.
- Go to the very bottom and open the gate with the Archive Tower Giant Cell Key for a Fire Keeper Soul.
- Back in the Archives, the first archive room on the second floor has a lever that summons the elevator; pull it.
- In the room where you first met Seath, open the chest for the Large Magic Ember and grab the soul on the balcony.
- Warp to Firelink Shrine, talk to Sieglinde of Catarina (answer yes) and go down to reinforce your Estus Flask.
- Go to New Londo Ruins and give the Large Magic Ember to Rickert of Vinheim.
- Warp to the Chamber of the Princess and give the Crystal Ember to the Giant Blacksmith.
- Next stop is the Demon Ruins: warp to the Daughter of Chaos bonfire, descend and light the first bonfire you reach.
