Dragon's Rest | Dark Souls 2 Wiki

Full Dragon's Rest Walkthrough

Access

The elevator at the end of Dragon's Sanctum takes you up two levels, the top being the beginning of the Shulva; the middle will lead inside into a new area of the pyramide that lead us to the area with the Imperfects. Be carefull, a lot of dropping down will be required for upcoming path.

The path is blocked by rubble, so turn right instead and drop down the hole onto a broken staircase. Descend to the bottom of it and head through the door carefullyto not accidently drop down the deep hole in front of you. Instead, when you got out of the doorframe, turn right and carefully drop down onto the area below you. Move to the end of the broken bridge and drop down to the are under you. Continue forward and turn left, then, immidately turn right. You'll find yourself in a room containing two floor switches and a Drakeblood Knight. They are tough, deal lots of damage, but have low mobility. The two switches in this room rotate the two-holed circles on each side. The door on the left has Sanctum Knight in the upper area, the room behind the door is empty, so don't bother with it. The switch on the right is hiding 4 Crystal Lizards, as soon as the big opening is on the top level they will run to the other side of the room, giving you a short time to kill them and collect the loot. They drop a total of:

• 4x Twinkling Titanite
• 2x Faintstone
• 2x Firedrake Stone
• 2x Old Mundane Stone
• 3x Petrified Dragon Bone
• 2x Raw Stone
• 3x Titanite Chunk
• 1x Titanite Slab.

Too Many Lefts

Head out the door you arrived from, and then right until you reach another broken bridge. Drop onto the broken pillar then onto the next platform below. Take the stairs that lead to the next platform, and head straight until you find a body holding 10x Hexing Urn. Around the corner you'll find another Drakeblood Knight. Deal with him then jump down the broken staircase on the right, and take the next flight down again. At the bottom, continue along the path and turn left. Take another left and in the middle of the left corridor wall, press the "use" button to unlock an illusory wall, concealing a bonfire inside, the Sanctum Interior bonfire.

When you're ready, continue in the same direction you were heading, to find a set of downward stairs, and two more Drakeblood Knights. Turn left and again left and you'll find a room with several chest that are already open. There will be a body holding the Drakeblood Set.

Head out and turn right, go back to where you found the hidden bonfire, after the bonfire turn right and go straight until you see another broken bridge on the left. Drop down here, then down some steps, drop down again. Drop down once more to find an area you can jump to on the left, so run and jump there.

Turn right then left to find an item glowing on a body, don't rush it as there are two Drakeblood Knights nearby. Kill the first then pick it up -3x Vine Balm. Turn the corner again to find body numero two with 3x Twinkling Titanite. Further down will be another Knight standing between you, and two more bodies holding a Large Soul of a Brave Warrior and 3x Twinkling Titanite. Turn left from the last body to find another one holding 5x Small Smooth & Silky Stone. Turn left and continue forward until you come across a dead end. Here you will find an area you can jump down to, on the right side. From this platform, drop down and continue to do so until you are prompted with the "Dragon's Rest" title.

Double Trouble

Here you will see a large fog gate that leads to the first boss fight. If you require assistance with the boss, the summon signs for Benhart of Jugo, and Steelheart Ellie, can be found in this area.

Boss Fight: Elana, the Squalid Queen

After you defeat Elana and acquire her soul (which can be exchanged for the Wrathful Axe at Weaponsmith Ornifex), the wall adorned with a giant dragon opens, revealing a passage. Continue through here to arrive at a bonfire, the Sanctum Nadir bonfire. Now you stand before a smaller fog gate. On either side of the bonfire, you'll find summon signs for Abbess Feeva, and Transcendent Edde. Through the fog gate is a large open area, where you must now fight the second boss of the Rest.

Boss Fight: Sinh, the Slumbering Dragon.

After defeating him -well done- you will obtain his soul (which can also be traded for the Yorgh's Spear at Weaponsmith Ornifex), you should also see a glimmering orb on the floor. Examining it  will grant you the Crown of the Sunken King. On the left side there will be a body with an item, head there and pick up the Yorgh's Ring.
