Bell. After ascending to top of area (top right actually) there is a bell on a pole. Shooting with arrow causes it to ring but that's it. Lever below rings it officially which prompts the arrival of a ship. Inside ship is Flexile Sentry boss fight
After beating Flexile Sentry, there is a navigation assembly in the rear of the boat. Using this prompts the boat to leave for the Lost Bastille, docking outside. No apparent way back into boat however, bonfire found easily and without resistance in Bastille
In Wharf, there are two treasure chests near Gavlan. The one on the right is trapped. First time I opened it I was hit with a repeating crossbow killing me. I believe three volleys in five directions (semi-circle). After returning the trap was now POISON gas, man was I surprised
McDuff, if you light the sconce in his room, he will move away from his treasure chest. Craftsman's hammer and twinkling titanite
Dogs. drop Soul of Nameless Soldier? and rarely a Human Effigy.
Big Mummies (seen in trailers/pics) with the grab attack. Not very tough. Drop Twilight herb.
Little mummies. These guys are sick. Fast and aggressive, ones I found came in pairs and sometimes fall to floor. When they do, it causes an AOE explosion with heavy damage. Does not hurt them.
Upon reaching the top of the stairs you will find yourself on a walkway/wall. The first enemy of the area is a Heide Knight wielding a spear. He will not attack unless provoked and upon his death gives you the Heide Spear. Immediately after this is a small group of barrels and crates that can be destroyed to see a break in the wall. Directly below is a large Mummy on a scaffolding. You can drop down on him and use a plunging attack. However, you will want to finish him quickly as the scaffolding will likely break leading to both of you falling below. Two Dogs will join the fray making this a good approach only for aggressive players (kill that Mummy quick, I mean it). Alternatively, following the walkway will lead to a ladder that places you in the same courtyard. Another option is to jump down a small break in the walkway. Following the path to the right leads to a corpse that carries a Soul of a Brave Warrior and a Human Effigy. Going back the other way leads to the same courtyard. One of the Dogs will aggro before the mummy, thinning the pack some. The second Dog and Mummy will aggro at about the same time. As the Mummy needs to jump down, the Dog can often be dispatched before engaging with the Mummy. After exiting the small room with the ladder to fight this trio, there is a small passage blocked by boards that can be broken. Please see section (2) of this walkthrough for details on this passage. Continuing in the other direction will lead you to more Dogs and a pull mechanism to open a large gate that you will surely not miss. Two more Dogs will greet you here. You may notice a conspicuous barrel right in front of you. Hold onto that thought for a minute. Turning a corner leads to another stairway. At the base of the stairs is a locked door. At the top of the stair is a Mummy who is just waiting to roll a barrel at you. It looks harmless but the Bastille has many explosive barrels. This is one of them. Shooting the Mummy with an arrow will lead to him rolling the barrel down. If it explodes on the wall at the end of the stair it will reveal another passage. The Mummy will descend to engage you in combat. You can use his wide attack radius to your advantage by having him swing near the barrel I asked you to remember from before. This one also explodes doing significant damage to the Mummy and knocking him down. This is a trick that can be used often in this level. After killing the Mummy, the wall that he just exploded contains a Bonfire and allows you to the other side of the locked door mentioned above. This turns out to be McDuff's workshop. McDuff is a seemingly senile Blacksmith muttering about finding an Ember. There are several chests in this room that contain Iron Arrow x10, Heavy Bolt x10, Titanite Shard x5 and Large Titanite Shard x2.
Exiting this area and continuing up the stairs leads to another walkway. A dog right in front of you will attack. As you walk forward there will be another dog to your right in hiding. Kill him and claim a Gold Pine Resin on a corpse. You will also notice a window in front of you that can be used to shoot a couple Knights in the building across from you. This will make a coming battle slightly easier. If you look down into the chasm you will see an odd closed door built into the wall. Opening that from the other side leads to a shortcut to the next boss fight. Once open, simply run forward toward the open door and continue pressing forward while falling.
For now though you need to continue back along the walkway. Another Dog and Mummy will provide little additional challenge. At this point you can move forward or across a broken stone to another area to your right. Continuing along leads to a tower with Lucatiel just hanging out. Speak with her and she will show you her true face and gives you a Human Effigy. She claims she doesn't know what it's for. Another door leads out but is unable to be opened from this side. Continue back outside and look to the right of the door you came in. A ladder there can be accessed by using a broken section of wall nearby to climb up. Up top a corpse will be generous and carry a Large Titanite Shard.
It's time to cross that broken stone to the small open area across the chasm! Make sure you have healing items and your weapon isn't about to break. Once you cross the only way back is forward (or Homeward Bone, Darksign, etc....). You will quickly come to a door. Upon opening that and stepping inside you will be swarmed by Knights. If you were able to kill the two earlier with projectiles through the window that will be two less to the battle. Using the door as a choke point can be very effective. However, they use large two handed swords and can hit through each other meaning you need to be ready to backpedal and continue the fight. After beating these guys you will find yourself in a large room with stairs heading down and a path to your left. Following the path to your left leads to more Knights in a small room (if they didn't all empty out before) and a pull mechanism. It may be advisable to NOT pull this lever as it opens a gate which we'll discuss again later. If you DO open the gate there are two more Knights and a short hallway filled with cells. Following the hall leads to the Sentinel Boss Fight. Heading down from the large room will lead to the door in the wall mentioned above as a shortcut. A corpse carries a Soul of a Proud Knight and a Human Effigy. A ladder off to the side of the room will lead you back up to the hallway before the boss fight. Once the door in the wall is open, it can be used to bypass the majority of Knights with the exception of the two directly in the hall. If you opened the gate I warned you not to, there will be a swarm in the hallway. You can outrun them if you just want to fight the bosses. In a cell by the Mist Door there is a skeleton with Radiant Lifegem x2 and if you're in Human Form you can summon the Phantom Pilgrim Bellclaire who will assist you with her sorcery.
(2) If you break the boarded passage and head in, you will find a small room with makeshift wooden walls littering the place. These can be broken. A Knight is hiding behind one. There are two doors on the same wall. One can be opened immediately and has two Small Mummies in it. Watch out as they appear to trip in front of you. This causes an area of effect explosion which does heavy damage but only to you. They will get right back up and fight. Killing them and entering the room nets you Flame Butterfly x2 (NEEDS CONFIRMATION). The other door can be opened with the Antiquated Key. See section (3) below for details on obtaining the Antiquated Key. Opening this door will lead to 4 Dogs attacking you in a small courtyard. A well is a central feature in this area. A rock tied to a rope tempts you to strike it. Doing so raises a large cage with three more of the Small Mummies in it. Defeating them yields the Wanderer Set. A building nearby has a door and a ladder to enter. Entering the door leads to a Knight carrying their usual sword. An archer Knights above will add his piece to the fight. From the door, there is an elevation which prevents you from accessing the archer Knight. Taking the ladder from outside allows you to kill him then drop down to take care of the sword knight, however a second sword knight will come in behind you. A ladder near the sword Knight has a corpse with a Large Soul of a Nameless Soldier and a Green Blossom and may be able to be used as a sniper spot for the next room. From the elevation with the archers, there is a short tunnel blocked by barrels. Smashing them will lead to a room with two statues, one of which is quite large. Two Knights will try to take you out. Also prominent in this room is the presence of a Pharros' Lockstone face and three chests. The chest on the left contains the Bone Staff. The first chest on the right holds a Parrying Dagger and the last chest has the very fast dex weapon Twinblade.A ladder exiting the room will place you above and behind the Mummy who tries to roll the barrel at you mentioned in section one.
The Lockstone will create two ghostly visages on the walls to indicate hidden passages. These cannot be accessed without using the stone. The one on the left holds a chest containing a Soul Vessel. A small torture cell on a chain hangs nearby and can be ridden up into another room. A corpse has a Sceptic's Spice immediately upon exiting. A corpse on a ledge below can be accessed by jumping and has a Bonfire Ascetic. Falling down leads back to the cell elevator. A door opens into a larger room with two small mummies and a pull mechanism to open a gate to a walkway. A stairway leads up to a large group of mummies. Another leads down to Two Small Mummies hiding in urns. A third is hiding on a ledge above the main floor. There are two small areas under the stairs you came down. The one on the right has two small Mummies. The one on the left is empty. Another one across the room is also empty. Heading up the stairs leads to a room with five Small Mummies. They can be fought individually. A statue blocks the way to a bonfire.There is a locked door to the right of this. Going through the gate leads to a mist gate. A sword knight to the right guards a corpse with Lifegem x8. The one on the right has a chest with Wilted Dusk Herb. Archers will try to stop your progress across. The mist door opens to Sinner's Rise.
(3) The Lost Bastille can also be accessed after The Pursuer boss fight in the Forest of Fallen Giants. After defeating the boss, examining the nest nearby prompts his eagle friend to come get you and carry you to a bonfire in the Bastille. This is a short area guarded by Knights and Dogs and consists of negligible geographic size. However, a ledge has a corpse with a Radiant Lifegem and a Titanite Shard. A chest in an open area after the main room contains the Antiquated Key and the Covetous Silver Serpent Ring. A walkway guarded by a Mummy is near the bonfire and leads to the locked door in the tower with Lucatiel. It can be opened from this side and provides access to the rest of the level.

Carhillion, sorcery trainer? Refused to talk to me because I was "magic impaired"
Enemies
Hollow infantryViking soldiers (can get name from armor pieces, vikings for the time being) sword and dual sword varieties
Dogs, like the Depths
Dark resident (elongated arms like Oolacile residents but facial differences), cause bleed damage. If Pharros Lockstone is used in level it illuminates entire area. These guys loathe the light and most can be taken out with arrows from safety while they hide in buildings
Flexile Sentry (Boss) two legs and two torsos back to back. One uses two spiked clubs, the other uses two swords. Both use combos, club guy more prominent in attacking from my one fight.

Things of note:
Pharros Locktone facehole in floor. Ascend stairs mid way and to the right near Viking and dog combo, archer will lock onto you here. Placing stone light the area up ALOT which helps see enemies but more importantly makes it so the dark fallen residents won't venture outside buildings. Much easier to corral and remove this way.Bell. After ascending to top of area (top right actually) there is a bell on a pole. Shooting with arrow causes it to ring but that's it. Lever below rings it officially which prompts the arrival of a ship. Inside ship is Flexile Sentry boss fight
After beating Flexile Sentry, there is a navigation assembly in the rear of the boat. Using this prompts the boat to leave for the Lost Bastille, docking outside. No apparent way back into boat however, bonfire found easily and without resistance in Bastille
In Wharf, there are two treasure chests near Gavlan. The one on the right is trapped. First time I opened it I was hit with a repeating crossbow killing me. I believe three volleys in five directions (semi-circle). After returning the trap was now POISON gas, man was I surprised
Lost Bastille
NPCs
Lucatiel in tower gives human effigyMcDuff, if you light the sconce in his room, he will move away from his treasure chest. Craftsman's hammer and twinkling titanite
Enemies
Heide Knight using spear. Drops spear when killedDogs. drop Soul of Nameless Soldier? and rarely a Human Effigy.
Big Mummies (seen in trailers/pics) with the grab attack. Not very tough. Drop Twilight herb.
Little mummies. These guys are sick. Fast and aggressive, ones I found came in pairs and sometimes fall to floor. When they do, it causes an AOE explosion with heavy damage. Does not hurt them.
Walkthrough
(1) The Lost Bastille can be accessed from two directions. The ship from No Man's Wharf or being carried in by the Eagle after the Pursuer boss fight in the Forest of Fallen Giants. Taking the ship brings you to a small rocky shoreline with an entrance into a walled structure. An elevator brings you to a stairway with cells lining either side. After reaching the top of the elevator you can ride it back down (step on the switch, quick exit and run on top) on the top to access a small break in the wall with a corpse. This corpse has a Scimitar and Repair Powder. Several items can be found in the cells including a Soul of Proud Knight, Radiant Lifegem, and Common Fruit x2.Upon reaching the top of the stairs you will find yourself on a walkway/wall. The first enemy of the area is a Heide Knight wielding a spear. He will not attack unless provoked and upon his death gives you the Heide Spear. Immediately after this is a small group of barrels and crates that can be destroyed to see a break in the wall. Directly below is a large Mummy on a scaffolding. You can drop down on him and use a plunging attack. However, you will want to finish him quickly as the scaffolding will likely break leading to both of you falling below. Two Dogs will join the fray making this a good approach only for aggressive players (kill that Mummy quick, I mean it). Alternatively, following the walkway will lead to a ladder that places you in the same courtyard. Another option is to jump down a small break in the walkway. Following the path to the right leads to a corpse that carries a Soul of a Brave Warrior and a Human Effigy. Going back the other way leads to the same courtyard. One of the Dogs will aggro before the mummy, thinning the pack some. The second Dog and Mummy will aggro at about the same time. As the Mummy needs to jump down, the Dog can often be dispatched before engaging with the Mummy. After exiting the small room with the ladder to fight this trio, there is a small passage blocked by boards that can be broken. Please see section (2) of this walkthrough for details on this passage. Continuing in the other direction will lead you to more Dogs and a pull mechanism to open a large gate that you will surely not miss. Two more Dogs will greet you here. You may notice a conspicuous barrel right in front of you. Hold onto that thought for a minute. Turning a corner leads to another stairway. At the base of the stairs is a locked door. At the top of the stair is a Mummy who is just waiting to roll a barrel at you. It looks harmless but the Bastille has many explosive barrels. This is one of them. Shooting the Mummy with an arrow will lead to him rolling the barrel down. If it explodes on the wall at the end of the stair it will reveal another passage. The Mummy will descend to engage you in combat. You can use his wide attack radius to your advantage by having him swing near the barrel I asked you to remember from before. This one also explodes doing significant damage to the Mummy and knocking him down. This is a trick that can be used often in this level. After killing the Mummy, the wall that he just exploded contains a Bonfire and allows you to the other side of the locked door mentioned above. This turns out to be McDuff's workshop. McDuff is a seemingly senile Blacksmith muttering about finding an Ember. There are several chests in this room that contain Iron Arrow x10, Heavy Bolt x10, Titanite Shard x5 and Large Titanite Shard x2.
Exiting this area and continuing up the stairs leads to another walkway. A dog right in front of you will attack. As you walk forward there will be another dog to your right in hiding. Kill him and claim a Gold Pine Resin on a corpse. You will also notice a window in front of you that can be used to shoot a couple Knights in the building across from you. This will make a coming battle slightly easier. If you look down into the chasm you will see an odd closed door built into the wall. Opening that from the other side leads to a shortcut to the next boss fight. Once open, simply run forward toward the open door and continue pressing forward while falling.
For now though you need to continue back along the walkway. Another Dog and Mummy will provide little additional challenge. At this point you can move forward or across a broken stone to another area to your right. Continuing along leads to a tower with Lucatiel just hanging out. Speak with her and she will show you her true face and gives you a Human Effigy. She claims she doesn't know what it's for. Another door leads out but is unable to be opened from this side. Continue back outside and look to the right of the door you came in. A ladder there can be accessed by using a broken section of wall nearby to climb up. Up top a corpse will be generous and carry a Large Titanite Shard.
It's time to cross that broken stone to the small open area across the chasm! Make sure you have healing items and your weapon isn't about to break. Once you cross the only way back is forward (or Homeward Bone, Darksign, etc....). You will quickly come to a door. Upon opening that and stepping inside you will be swarmed by Knights. If you were able to kill the two earlier with projectiles through the window that will be two less to the battle. Using the door as a choke point can be very effective. However, they use large two handed swords and can hit through each other meaning you need to be ready to backpedal and continue the fight. After beating these guys you will find yourself in a large room with stairs heading down and a path to your left. Following the path to your left leads to more Knights in a small room (if they didn't all empty out before) and a pull mechanism. It may be advisable to NOT pull this lever as it opens a gate which we'll discuss again later. If you DO open the gate there are two more Knights and a short hallway filled with cells. Following the hall leads to the Sentinel Boss Fight. Heading down from the large room will lead to the door in the wall mentioned above as a shortcut. A corpse carries a Soul of a Proud Knight and a Human Effigy. A ladder off to the side of the room will lead you back up to the hallway before the boss fight. Once the door in the wall is open, it can be used to bypass the majority of Knights with the exception of the two directly in the hall. If you opened the gate I warned you not to, there will be a swarm in the hallway. You can outrun them if you just want to fight the bosses. In a cell by the Mist Door there is a skeleton with Radiant Lifegem x2 and if you're in Human Form you can summon the Phantom Pilgrim Bellclaire who will assist you with her sorcery.
(2) If you break the boarded passage and head in, you will find a small room with makeshift wooden walls littering the place. These can be broken. A Knight is hiding behind one. There are two doors on the same wall. One can be opened immediately and has two Small Mummies in it. Watch out as they appear to trip in front of you. This causes an area of effect explosion which does heavy damage but only to you. They will get right back up and fight. Killing them and entering the room nets you Flame Butterfly x2 (NEEDS CONFIRMATION). The other door can be opened with the Antiquated Key. See section (3) below for details on obtaining the Antiquated Key. Opening this door will lead to 4 Dogs attacking you in a small courtyard. A well is a central feature in this area. A rock tied to a rope tempts you to strike it. Doing so raises a large cage with three more of the Small Mummies in it. Defeating them yields the Wanderer Set. A building nearby has a door and a ladder to enter. Entering the door leads to a Knight carrying their usual sword. An archer Knights above will add his piece to the fight. From the door, there is an elevation which prevents you from accessing the archer Knight. Taking the ladder from outside allows you to kill him then drop down to take care of the sword knight, however a second sword knight will come in behind you. A ladder near the sword Knight has a corpse with a Large Soul of a Nameless Soldier and a Green Blossom and may be able to be used as a sniper spot for the next room. From the elevation with the archers, there is a short tunnel blocked by barrels. Smashing them will lead to a room with two statues, one of which is quite large. Two Knights will try to take you out. Also prominent in this room is the presence of a Pharros' Lockstone face and three chests. The chest on the left contains the Bone Staff. The first chest on the right holds a Parrying Dagger and the last chest has the very fast dex weapon Twinblade.A ladder exiting the room will place you above and behind the Mummy who tries to roll the barrel at you mentioned in section one.
The Lockstone will create two ghostly visages on the walls to indicate hidden passages. These cannot be accessed without using the stone. The one on the left holds a chest containing a Soul Vessel. A small torture cell on a chain hangs nearby and can be ridden up into another room. A corpse has a Sceptic's Spice immediately upon exiting. A corpse on a ledge below can be accessed by jumping and has a Bonfire Ascetic. Falling down leads back to the cell elevator. A door opens into a larger room with two small mummies and a pull mechanism to open a gate to a walkway. A stairway leads up to a large group of mummies. Another leads down to Two Small Mummies hiding in urns. A third is hiding on a ledge above the main floor. There are two small areas under the stairs you came down. The one on the right has two small Mummies. The one on the left is empty. Another one across the room is also empty. Heading up the stairs leads to a room with five Small Mummies. They can be fought individually. A statue blocks the way to a bonfire.There is a locked door to the right of this. Going through the gate leads to a mist gate. A sword knight to the right guards a corpse with Lifegem x8. The one on the right has a chest with Wilted Dusk Herb. Archers will try to stop your progress across. The mist door opens to Sinner's Rise.
(3) The Lost Bastille can also be accessed after The Pursuer boss fight in the Forest of Fallen Giants. After defeating the boss, examining the nest nearby prompts his eagle friend to come get you and carry you to a bonfire in the Bastille. This is a short area guarded by Knights and Dogs and consists of negligible geographic size. However, a ledge has a corpse with a Radiant Lifegem and a Titanite Shard. A chest in an open area after the main room contains the Antiquated Key and the Covetous Silver Serpent Ring. A walkway guarded by a Mummy is near the bonfire and leads to the locked door in the tower with Lucatiel. It can be opened from this side and provides access to the rest of the level.
