Walk away from the fire and use the ladder. When you find yourself halfway, you should notice a knight going down. Run to him and lure him to the fire. This way, the knight will quickly follow you and when you go downstairs, you will have more time before the second knight arrives. Use this time and kill your enemy, because fighting two opponents at the same time will certainly be more difficult.
You will find a Large Soul of a Weary Warrior near the main gate, next to a body on the left side. Walk right to come across a locked door, but first take care of the knight who is patrolling the area. The enemy is stronger than other knights you have faced before and you have to watch out for his combos. On the other hand, he is just as aggressive as all other knights, so use him to your advantage and deliver a powerful blow when he rushes towards you. If your timing is accurate, you block his attack and deal a lot of damage. Collect the Soul of the Fallen Knight from the balcony and take the left path when you return to the main gate.
Once inside, you will find the Giant's Coal, which can be given to the blacksmith at the Purifying Chapel. Light the torch. You will find two possible paths in the dark room. Turn left and you will come across three deacons who will shoot shells at you. Wait for them to go up the stairs and run towards them as quickly as possible. If your timing was right, you will reach them before they fire another wave of shells at you. Kill them quickly because there are more deacons waiting for you below. Search the body to collect the Proof of Concord Kept.
Walk down and pay attention to the fact that there are three more deacons on the stairs. Hide from their shells behind the column and run to your enemies to finish them off. Enter the room to find 6 Dark Moon Arrows and a Fragment of Estus in the side hallway.
Remember: pay attention to slippery creatures that will constantly appear on your way. Although they are not a big threat, they often appear in groups, and some even dive at you from the ceiling. Try to eliminate most of them before you get to the gate.
When you get to the gate, a giant spider will jump down from above. There are two possible ways to resolve the creature situation. The first relates to the combat in the cell where you are currently. The monster is very fast and will try to paralyze you with its heavy body. In addition, his attacks will curse you, which will eventually lead to your death. So you have to dodge his attacks and buy yourself some time. Aim for his head and you can even stun your opponent for a moment. throwing knives is highly recommended.
The second way is to quickly open the gate (run up to it from the left side, find the device and press the lever). Once outside, the spider will follow you. Turn right and go behind a small arch. The beast will not chase you any further, so you can attack it from a safe distance. You can even land a couple of direct hits to kill him. Deal with the spider and get Ruby Aldrick.
Walk through the fog and come face to face with Aldrick, the Eater of the Gods. If this is the third Lord of Ash you defeated, you will be transported to Lothric High Wall, where you will find a dying Emma. Otherwise, go to the Defiled Capital location and kill the Giant Jorm.
