Dark Souls Walkthrough Part 19 – Anor Londo

Once you arrive, you have a few Sentinels below you that need to be dealt with for you to successfully  reach the nearby Bonfire. This pair can be dealt with one at a time if you hug the wall by the stairs to lure one over to you. Once you deal with the Sentinels collect the loot from the nearby body to get some Demon Titanite. Now head out of this room and hang a left when you can. You will find the Bonfire and a Firekeeper who can boost your flask if you have the needed soul.

Head out to the left of there to find more Sentinels in the next room. Inside the same room to the left you will find a Twinkling Titanite (on the left) and a Mimic (on the right). Kill the Mimic to get a Crystal Halberd. Be sure to hit all the chest before you open them and only do it after you have dealt with the Sentinels. There is a passage leading to the Duke's Archives in this same room but until you have the Lordvessel you cannot cross over to it.

Head out now to the main room and go through the passage opposite the Bonfire. This is the Elevator room. Later on you will be able to use this to reach a new Covenant but particular conditions must be met. When you cross through the chamber with the elevator you will encounter a Gargoyle. Try to keep it in a narrow passage to make fighting it a bit easier. As before try to take off its tail to reduce its number of attacks and to get the Gargoyle Tail Axe if you did not acquire it earlier.

When it comes to controlling the elevator there are a few things of note:
It starts at the highest point so it can only be accessed  from a high bridge leading out of the nearby church. In the middle position it allows quick access to the nearby castle. Of course, in its lowest position leads to Dark Sun Gwyndolin.

With the Gargoyle gone you want to drop off the left side near the stairs you came down to fight the Gargoyle. First turn around and go through the opening the stone behind you. Follow the path to the right to get at the Demon Titanite that is in the chest along it. Now head back and go up the buttress. Drop off it to the right and head through the opening in the window. You will shortly need to deal with a pair of Painted Servants. While they are slowish and easy to kill up close but they love to throw knives from a distance which makes your life much harder. Climb the ladder on the left and walk onto the beams be sure to face the Painted Servants that are up here so when they start throwing knives you can block them and you do not just fall to your death from being hit. Note where the first one Painted Servant is in this area. Nearby it is a chandelier that you can either cut or sever. This drops down to the floor of the Chapel you are in so you can grab it later. When closing on the chandelier approach from the opposite side so you have a slight distance between the Servant and you. Just move forward slowly, do not rush anything.

Once on the other side you will want to climb down the ladder and transverse the White Light to your left. You will find yourself outside again. Head to the pavilion in the middle and push the lever once forward. Take a moment and go down the stairs around the lever. You will be able to get to the floor of the church where the chandelier fell. Kill the Painted Servants one (or two) at a time. The item you went through all this trouble for is the Sorcery Great Magic Weapon. In the back left you will find another corpse with a Black Iron Armor Set. If you head over to the painting just to your right you will be able to enter the Painted World of Ariamis if you examine it.
