Kill the enemy you come to after a short while, then get over the wooden bridge ahead of you. Make your way down the stairs and to the left, keeping a close eye on the archer who's lurking across from where you start - he'll fire off a constant barrage of arrows at your position until you've finished him off. Light it, talk to Lucatiel nearby, then enter the cave to get to No-Man's Wharf. Once you've scrambled through the rocky patch ahead, you'll come to a bonfire. Walk through the next door, then go through the water and into the hole in the wall at the end of this section.

Step into the lift, then step onto the weight that's in the centre of the floor to get down to the level below.

Instead, go directly through the door, then take a right and go down the hallway. There's another cluster of enemies here, but you can ignore them for now. Once you've hoovered up all this lovely loot, go through the door and into the room you passed a moment ago, then go down the stairs in front of you. Keep going straight when you're through the door, and pick up a bunch of handy items: Dark Torches, a Soul of a Proud Knight, an Old Knight Halbert, and a Human Effigy. There are two enemies on the other side of the door down here, but they can both be avoided if you're careful. Keep travelling down this twisting stairway, then go to the other side of the staircase to snag a Monastery Charm.

When you're finished, make your way to the other side of the room, then go down the stairs and head through the doorway you eventually come to. Oh, and make sure you talk to Licia repeatedly until she tells you she's going to move on from Heide's Tower of Flame. Light it, then go and talk to Licia over on the right if you fancy making use of some Miracles - healing spells, essentially. When you reach the top you should find a very welcome bonfire. Once you've defeated the Dragonrider, go through the door that's opposite of where the mist was, and then carry on up the stairs.
