Behind it there is an ambush of two more Royal Swordsmen. The door beyond them leads to nothing, so take the one nearest to you as you entered. Go down to the right of the stairs and fight the two knights, go through the doorway and to your left should be the backs of three enemies.

Head inside and up the stairs, talk to the phantom who will welcome you to the castle and act as a merchant. You must kill them close enough to the stone guardians either side of the door, they will absorb the souls and open the door for you. As you arrive at the castle door, you will see two Royal Swordsman, after killing these, they will continue to spawn around the left side of the castle. Lure them back down the bridge and dispatch them before moving on. Move up the bridge until you see two large stone enemies, you need to move close enough to wake them while avoiding crossbow fire. Before the bridge you can catch up with the Emerald Herald. Continue to ascend and take in the beauty of a moonlit Drangleic Castle as you arrive. Continue forward into the dark tunnel, you will emerge in completely different rainy and dark atmosphere.Ĭarefully move forward until you see two crossbow wielding Royal Swordsman, try to snipe these guys so you wont have to fight them with third member of their party. To the left, another Heide Knight, this time he will drop his spear. To the right you'll find a corpse with some repair powder and a soul. There's nothing here but some great architecture so proceed out of the door and down the winding path. Now take the path to the left and enter the Shrine of Winter. After defeating him you'll be rewarded with a 2nd Dragon Ring and a Golden Falcon Shield which was behind him. If you choose to attack from range you likely wont aggro the goon. You've fought the Flexile Sentry before so use the same strategy, only this time make sure to quickly kill the one poison goon with him so you don't get surrounded. Fight off the fat goons, go under the bridge and search to the left behind the broken tower to find a Ring of Life Protection before heading down the path to fight the Flexile Sentry. Take the path to the left, and immediately look left as to not get ambushed. If you have already explored the path to the left, you can skip parts of this section.
