In this segment of the video, the player is advised to run past most enemies until reaching a safety cave. Once human, an image maker should appear. The player interacts with a character referred to as the “thick lady” and gains an extra 8k souls, which are then used to purchase a new weapon, the demon’s great machete, from a character named Shiva. Alternatives like the demon’s great axe are mentioned, but it requires more strength to wield and has a less favorable moveset. The player also collects souls and large items in the area, returns to the bonfire, and increases their strength to 28 and endurance to 20. New players are encouraged to upgrade their weapons at the undead parish before proceeding, while experienced players can move ahead. They grab an item called “power within” and additional souls along the way. The segment involves tactical movements such as avoiding a dart enemy, climbing ladders, and managing combat encounters to collect souls and progress further.
