Seath the Scaleless
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 318](dark-souls-318-small.webp)
Once the Lordvessel has been placed, head back to Anor Londo and take a left.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 319](dark-souls-319-small.webp)
Run up behind the building.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 320](dark-souls-320-small.webp)
And start going through the long corridor.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 321](dark-souls-321-small.webp)
Light the bonfire then activate the lever ahead to turn an elevator on.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 322](dark-souls-322-small.webp)
Run straight ahead, feel free to ignore any and all mobs since you will have to die up ahead without a chance to recover your souls.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 323](dark-souls-323-small.webp)
Activate the next lever to have another elevator bring you up.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 324](dark-souls-324-small.webp)
Go through the icy tower and keep going up.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 325](dark-souls-325-small.webp)
There will be a hostile NPC here. Keep your distance and poke him down repeatedly with the Zweihandler. Do NOT spam him with attacks as he will parry you.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 326](dark-souls-326-small.webp)
Go through the fog gate.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 327](dark-souls-327-small.webp)
And you'll enter a room with the boss, Seath the Scaleless in it. Stand still and let his crystals hit you. Only start moving around If a skull meter starts building up. That's you being cursed. To counter it, equip the Havel Armor.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 328](dark-souls-328-small.webp)
Once you die, you'll spawn in a prison cell.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 329](dark-souls-329-small.webp)
Rest at the bonfire and then kill the Lizardman outside to get a key in order to get out.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 330](dark-souls-330-small.webp)
Once out, run all the way down the circular stairs. Avoid the tentacle monsters.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 331](dark-souls-331-small.webp)
Climb up the long ladder at the bottom.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 332](dark-souls-332-small.webp)
Activate the lever to turn the music ornament thats driving the tentacle monsters crazy off.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 333](dark-souls-333-small.webp)
Then kill all the lizardmen.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 334](dark-souls-334-small.webp)
Loot the chest behind them to get a key then run back all the way up those stairs.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 335](dark-souls-335-small.webp)
Climb up the ladder at the top of the stairwell and open this door.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 336](dark-souls-336-small.webp)
You'll be on a balcony. Go left.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 337](dark-souls-337-small.webp)
And back into the library.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 338](dark-souls-338-small.webp)
There will be several spellcasters lingering about. They are easily killed due to slow casting and knocking them down with the Zweihandler.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 339](dark-souls-339-small.webp)
Keep going left, then go up these stairs.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 340](dark-souls-340-small.webp)
Activate this lever to make them spin around.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 341](dark-souls-341-small.webp)
From here, go forward, jump down the stairs, spin them around and then proceed forward before going down a long ladder and pulling a lever to activate the hidden bookshelf.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 342](dark-souls-342-small.webp)
When done, run through the opened door and you should be at a bonfire that's sitting on a balcony. Rest at it.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 343](dark-souls-343-small.webp)
Beware as mobs are often prone to attacking you at this bonfire.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 344](dark-souls-344-small.webp)
Run back through the hidden door.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 345](dark-souls-345-small.webp)
Enter the next room.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 346](dark-souls-346-small.webp)
Pull the lever and activate the stairwell. Then go down and through the fog gate.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 347](dark-souls-347-small.webp)
Jump down from the platform and go into the forest yonder.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 348](dark-souls-348-small.webp)
Avoid these golems as they give little to no souls and are only good for grinding certain special shards for weapon upgrades.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 349](dark-souls-349-small.webp)
Once close enough to the yonder, you should see a dirt/stone/crystal path. Go down.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 350](dark-souls-350-small.webp)
I very highly recommend to avoid ALL fighting onward as there is little to no space.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 351](dark-souls-351-small.webp)
Avoid the golem ahead and keep going down.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 352](dark-souls-352-small.webp)
Jump down on the small edged cliff.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 353](dark-souls-353-small.webp)
Go to the right and there should (very often) be some floating text messages along with subtle snowflakes falling down. The area here is essentially a hidden/invisible bridge.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 354](dark-souls-354-small.webp)
Run down on it and take a left onto this crystal. AVOID THIS GOLEM AT ALL COST! He WILL bash you off and down the crater before you can even work 30% of his HP off. Run up ahead behind him.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 355](dark-souls-355-small.webp)
Then jump down right here. Should also be some floating text and falling snowflakes.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 356](dark-souls-356-small.webp)
Run straight towards the small passage ahead. Stick with the snowflakes.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 357](dark-souls-357-small.webp)
Run through the path and there should be a huge opening ahead with some clams. Avoid them and keep going ahead.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 358](dark-souls-358-small.webp)
Seath the Scaleless will come flying down and start crawling towards you.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 359](dark-souls-359-small.webp)
Run around him to the right and avoid the ground-petruding crystals at all cost.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 360](dark-souls-360-small.webp)
"If you get caught in the crystals, you will die instantly due to being cursed if the meter gets full. Being cursed will reduce you total HP by 50% until you remove it by special means.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 361](dark-souls-361-small.webp)
Before even bothering to fight Seath, you have to run behind him and melee this crystal.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 362](dark-souls-362-small.webp)
Doing so will destroy it, disabling Seath's Immortality.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 363](dark-souls-363-small.webp)
Seath has only AoE attacks, either in the form of breathes or bursts from his middle section. Avoiding both is a good idea to not get flung around and cursed.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 364](dark-souls-364-small.webp)
Your best bet as a melee user is to swing at his side-tails. If he moves around too much for you to hit them, you can simply run up in his front, provoke a frost attack and then back to the sides, avoiding his breath while also having loads of time to chop away at him.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 365](dark-souls-365-small.webp)
Be careful to not linger around behind him as he will start to wildly tramp and smash around with all his tails. To avoid getting caught and one-shotted, keep Seath in the middle of the room.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 366](dark-souls-366-small.webp)
Seath has a LOT of health. He will take a lot of time and patience to kill unless you have lightning/fire weapons but he should eventually fall dead If you avoid his slow attacks.
![Dark Souls Walkthrough - Dark Souls 367](dark-souls-367-small.webp)
Once dead, a bonfire will spawn. Rest at it and warp to Firelink Shrine.
