It's recommended to take on this and all following Chalice Labyrinths in co-op. At Depth three, enemies are as strong and as resilient as in the previous Lower Hintertomb Labyrinth, but the Lower Pthumerian Labyrinth is longer, and there are larger groups of enemies to contend with. It also has some important items to plunder, such as the Sinister Lower Pthumeru Root Chalice (from a secret Bath Messenger shop for 9000 Blood Echoes on level four), and the Workshop Haze Extractor (in a coffin on level two).

Pthumerian Flow Chart

Sinister Chalices										Pthumeru The underground labyrinth is extremely large, and changes its form the deeper it goes. Each part has its own unique appearance and tendencies, though, and these are divided into four distinct areas: Pthumeru, Hintertomb, Loran and Isz. Pthumeru specifics The standard area type, usually with a basic room structure. No particular elemental type dominates. Kidnappers appear often. Merciless Watchers guard floor levers.

+ Layer 1 Walkthrough

Step 01: Attacking the wall in the first room will reveal a hidden path that takes you up to a chest containing a Sage's Wrist. Once you have that, you can either backtrack the way you came, or drop down off the ledge to reach a room near the start of the level. Step 02: As you approach this room. Nightmare Apostles summoned by a Bell Ringer up ahead will start running toward you - try to take them on in the doorway so they can't surround you. There's also a pressure plate just in front of the door that triggers a number of flaming arrow traps, so taking the fight into the room can be dangerous. The room itself may appear clear, but if you look up you'll see a number of Nightmare Apostles hanging from the ceiling; rather than trying to fight them now, it's best to continue to the next room and kill the Bell Ringer there to stop her from summoning enemies first. Once she's been killed you can return here and either use ranged attacks to knock the Apostles down one at a time, or advance slowly through the room so that you don't have to fight the entire group at once. Step 03: The Bell Ringer you're after is straight ahead of you when you enter this room, so take her out as quickly as possible before she can summon too many enemies. Once she's down, check behind you just in case any of the Apostles from the previous room followed you in, because you'll want to deal with them before continuing. The Labyrinth Watcher standing guard over the lever at the bottom room has a commanding view of the area with his crossbow, but that can actually be used to your advantage. While you cannot normally sneak up behind him, if you go part of the way down one of the staircases so that he spots you, and then retreat, he'll move over to that side slightly As long as you get him to move over enough, you can then walk down the other staircase and get around behind him for a charged R2.

Step 04: The Watcher Chieftain will generally stick to the middle of the room and try to shoot you during the fight, which means you can stick to the outskirts of the room and use the pillars for cover. If you keep moving around the room from pillar to pillar you should also be able to keep both Merciless Watchers approaching you from the same direction; wait for one to get close, and then after getting a couple of hits in, move on to the next pillar again before one can circle around you.

Step 01: A Labyrinth Watcher with a Lantern patrols this area, and if he spots you he'll ring the lantern, causing all of the Labyrinth Watchers on the bridge above to descend the ladder at the end of the tunnel on the opposite side of the room. This can actually work in your favor, because that ladder is just at the edge of their range, so they'll often get caught between trying to climb up and down it, and fighting them there is much easier than on the bridge. Be careful as you progress through the tunnel, however, because there's a Gel hanging from the ceiling near the end; use a ranged attack to knock it down as soon as it comes into view. Step 02: There's a Merciless Watcher standing guard over the lever in this room at the top of the stairs, but fighting him there can be difficult, because there's not much room to move. It's better to lure him down to the bottom of the stairs, where you can use the statues to block his movement and easily make his attacks miss. Step 03: While the large number of Holy Chalice rite materials that you can get in here would be reason enough to visit the room, there are even more secrets to uncover If you strike the wall you'll reveal a hidden path that leads down to another room, where you'll be able to acquire even more treasures. A number of Wandering Nightmares also occupy that room, but because of their positions it can be very difficult to kill them all before they disappear To get any that you miss, simply leave the dungeon and make your way back here again.

Step 04: There's a very large group of Labyrinth Rats here, and there are a couple of ways you can go about dealing with them, depending on what you have at hand. Because the rats move about a lot, if you're patient, you can usually move forward just enough to get one or two of them to spot you at a time, and then drop back to fight them away from the group. If, however, you have some Pungent Blood Cocktails and Molotovs, you may want to try and lure a group of them back to the tunnel entrance, where there's a pool of oil, and then throw the Blood Cocktail into it so that the rats swarm in there. Once they're all bunched up, throw some Molotovs to kill them quickly. Step 05: Pulling the lever here will lower the nearby drawbridge so that you can reach the other side of the room, where a large amount of items can be looted from corpses. Once you drop down, however, you won't be able to get back up, and will have to drop down again to the tunnels below to continue. If you decide to drop down, try to line yourself up above the Labyrinth Watcher manning the cannon below, so that you can kill it with a plunging attack. Step 06: You need to approach the enemies in this room very cautiously if you haven't cleared out the upper part of the drawbridge room, because if you need to retreat, the Labyrinth Watchers up there will start firing their canons down at you. For the first group of Labyrinth Watchers, try to lure then to you one at a time to keep the fight manageable. Once they're down, lure the Warrior Chieftain away from the Watchers at the back and try to get him stuck on the cages in the room. The coffin here contains the Workshop Haze Extractor Key Item, which is used for extracting Arcane Hazes from ritual crafting items at the Workbench in the Hunter's Dream.

Step 01: A hidden passageway can be revealed if you strike the wall in the crossroad room, and if you follow it along you'll be able to reach another room with some chests to plunder There are no enemies in the treasure room, so you can explore at your leisure. Step 02: There's a Bell Ringer near the fountain directly ahead when you enter this room, so quickly run forward and kill her before she can summon too many enemies. If done correctly you can kill her without alerting the Labyrinth Watcher and Kidnapper, so sneak up behind them one at a time and use charged R2 attacks. There are a large number of Fluorescent Flowers on the lower part of this room, and a Keeper of the Old Lords with two Keeper's Hunting Dogs are patrolling the area directly below the fountain. If you have ranged attack options, such as a Pistol or Throwing Knives, it's well worth using them on some of the Fluorescent Flowers from the corners of this upper area You usually only be able to reach one of the two in the corners, but that will help you out in the long run. Once you're ready to head down, going clockwise around the outside of the room from the bottom of the stairs is best; by doing that you'll be able to use the pillars for cover as you approach the remaining Fluorescent Flowers, and still keep an eye on the middle for the patrolling enemy group. Two more Fluorescent Flowers have taken up residence in the area below the fountain, but you should try to deal with the patrolling group first. When you encounter the group, take advantage of the fact that the dogs move faster and try to lure them away and around some of the pillars to separate them Depending on where you first see them, and if they come out from beneath the fountain, it can be worth going back up the stairs and trying to use plunging attacks on them from above. Because of the sheer number of Fluorescent Flowers here, it can be worth repeatedly killing them for Arcane Hazes, so that you don't have to break down your other materials to get them.

Step 03: This room can be highly challenging, because you'll have to take on a Labyrinth Watcher, Keeper of the Old Lords, two Keeper's Hunting Dogs, three Nightmare Apostles and eventually a Kidnapper; playing with a co-op partner is definitely advised. You can bypass this area and head straight for the level boss if you wish, but you're reward for pushing through the challenge will be even more Holy Chalice rite materials. The Keeper of the Old Lords will usually stay in place, to the left of the doorway, unless he sees you So it's best to lure some of the other enemies out of the room, without actually going in there By sticking to the alley just in front of the door, you can usually get the Labyrinth Watcher to spot you, and he'll reliably be accompanied by the two Keeper's Hunting Dogs, since they're the fastest enemies. If you have any Pungent Blood Cocktails, use them to keep the two dogs in place while you damage them and kill the Watcher. If you don't have any, you should retreat back to the ladder room, drop down, and try to separate them and attack them as they land. The Nightmare Apostles move quite slowly and it takes some time for them to reach you, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't try to kill the first few enemies as quickly as possible; defeating them before the Apostles arrive will make things much easier, because you can soon get overwhelmed if you have to fight all of them at once. When you finally enter the room, try to lure the Keeper away from his starting position to avoid the risk of drawing the Kidnapper into the fight.

Step 01: There's a hidden passage in the room behind the wall, but before you can reach it you'll need to fight your way past a very large group of enemies. A Keeper of the Old Lords along with two Keeper's Hunting Dogs will usually be positioned near the back of the room, and hanging from the ceiling are a number of Nightmare Apostles As always, trying to separate the enemies and fighting them in small groups is the key to victory. As long as the Keeper and the two Dogs are at the back of the room, you can advance slowly and knock the Apostles down one at a time without being detected. If the Keeper and the dogs have started patrolling, however, you should try to use Pebbles to lure the dogs out one at a time. If you attract the attention of multiple enemies, fall back to the previous room with the ladder and try to get them to fall off, so that you can use plunging attacks. Once all of the enemies have been killed, hit the wall to reveal the hidden passage and head to the Blood Echoes shop at the end of this path selling the Sinister Lower Pthumeru Root Chalice for 9000 Blood Echoes. Step 02: As you approach the doorway leading into this room, a large group of summoned Nightmare Apostles will round the corner and try to attack you - try to sprint past them quickly to get into the room and kill the Bell Ringer on the ledge to the left If the apostles have already blocked your path, you should retreat back along the tunnel quickly to try and separate them somewhat before you turn and engage them. Step 03: A Labyrinth Watcher will usually attack you as soon as you enter this room, so make sure you're ready for him. Up next is a Merciless Watcher that's standing near the back of the room - try to use the pillars to flank him during the fight Once the enemies have been killed, loot all of the chests in the room for a number of useful items, including some Ritual Blood (4)s.

Step 04: The low visibility in this room can make seeing the enemies quite difficult, especially the numerous Gels that are clinging to the ceiling. A large group of Labyrinth Rats are gathered in the middle of the room - try to lure some of them to you using ranged attacks from the entrance of the room before you go in. The first Gel is hanging just inside the room, so once you're ready to enter, make sure it doesn't drop on you. If you climb the mound of dead pigs you can get a better view of the room; aim to take out the first few Gels so that you have some room in which to fight the Kidnapper that's near the middle. Step 05: When you approach the opening to this room you will likely have to deal with a mob of summoned Nightmare Apostles from the Bell Ringer Occupy the entrance to this room and funnel them through one at a time so as not to get swarmed. Once you have cleaved yourself a path, rush in and kill her quickly. Finish off the patrolling Labyrinth Watchers once she's down, and then walk down one of the sets of stairs and sneak past the Merciless Watcher, so that you can use a charged R2 from behind. Step 06: The boss of this level is the Bloodletting Beast, and defeating him will reward you with the Defiled Chalice. He can knock down the support pillars circling this room if you attempt to use them as cover, so it's best to keep on the move and use the size of the room to your advantage by using ranged attacks.
