Dark Souls III: How to Get to Anor Londo

Anor Londo is an area that is late in Dark Souls III. The legendary city that once housed gods is now ruled and twisted by Aldrich, Devour of Gods. That alone should tell you that this is not a friendly place, even by Dark Souls’ standards.

Anor Londo follows the Irithyll of the Boreal Valley area, and cannot be accessed until you defeat Pontiff Slyvahn. This opens up the way for you to exit this area and progress in Dark Souls III. After defeating the boss, head up the stairs where you’ll find two Crystal Lizards, then head up the stairs to your left. Here is where things start to get difficult. To your right will be an open area with giants and Deacons, head left to find a staircase leading to the Deacons.

If you happen to have an Ember that is activated you will be invaded by two AI opponents who are fast and powerful, but don’t have a lot of health. Aldrich Faithful Talib and Aldrich Faithful Jesus will appear once you head towards the end of the area with the Deacons (who you should be killing as you move on). They use magic and ranged attacks, so be careful. One actually appears before the other, so you can use this to lure it towards you far away so you can fight one on one.

After clearing them out, proceed onward or drop down and fight the giants if you so please. It’s your choice. Continue to the end and take a staircase that leads to a large archway opening into a building. Take the steps up to reach a rooftop with Silver Knights waiting across the way to shoot you down. Drop down and use the lower edges to your advantage so you can pluck away the Silver Knights.

Proceed onward, fighting your way through enemies where you’ll eventually reach the area where you can continue Anri’s questline. You’ll find a pilgrim, some stairs leading to a bridge and a long hallway. head up the stairs, and use the lever to activate the bridge. cross the bridge, climb the tower on the other end and hit that lever to move the bridge once more. Now, when you cross this new bridge, you’ll find yourself at the Anor Londo bonfire.
