When you emerge, you will see a bridge to your right with two Royal Knights on it. Descend the stairs and head out the other door into another short hallway with light at the end. To the right of Agdayne is a corpse hanging over the ledge that holds a Large Soul of a Nameless Soldier. You can return to Agdayne after defeating Vendrick (optional endgame boss) to receive the Darkdrift Katana and his armour set. You can also talk to him to find out some interesting story tidbits. He teaches the have mercy gesture as well as selling some equipment and some higher end spells. To reach him, head up the stairs on the right side of the room and walk past his warriors to talk the hollow leaning against the wall at the back. They, like him will not become hostile unless they are attacked directly or a torch is lit. The NPC who warns you is named Agdayne and can be found on the ledge above to your right along with his troops. When you emerge out of the hallway into the next room a voice will tell you to not produce light. Make sure you have no torch up from this point forward until you are well past the NPC. Once the room is clear, head into the nearby hallway. Equip as much magic and elemental defense as you can before engaging them as they can tear through health if you have insufficient defenses (especially their lightning spear and firestorm spells). The leydia witches can use a variety of spells, pyromancies, miracles and hexes. Into the next room from where the torch zombie was cautiously as two hollows and three leydia witches are present in there. The reason why is that a nearby NPC will become hostile if the torch hollow follows you further in and gets too close (make sure you are not carrying a torch either when the voice warns you shortly as that will also make the NPC turn hostile). Head up the stairs and follow the short hallway beyond to reach a new room with light shining through the doorways ahead, The source is a torch wielding hollow that needs to be taken down as quickly as possible. On the other side of the stairs is a skeleton holding a Radiant Life Gem.
Underneath the stairs (head to the left side to access it) is the first bonfire of the area. When you enter the crypt after descending the lift, the first room you should arrive at will have a staircase leading up in front of you. Even found out Joe's wife owns a pizza place in Burbank.need to stop by.The Undead Crypt can be accessed via the Shrine of Amana after defeating the Demon of Song boss. I thought Michael Constantine was James Coco but only tonight I saw Constantine in The Hustler w/Paul Newman, one of his first roles. I knew I saw Burke and Wuhrer's face before but couldn't place them. You gotta love to look up all the work these actors have done. I guess you can't have two Doritos girls in Hollyweird. Too bad she looks exactly like that Doritos girl who is on a UON stupid sitcom now. As stated previously, Kari Wuhrer is smokin' hot. Joe Mantegna and Michael Constantine were excellent. His voice quality was over the top, Simpson-esq in quality like in a cartoon but that worked here. Can you imagine seeing this man walk his dog at night? He seems outside the human race somehow I guess that's why they choose acting as a profession. This did have a made-for-TV feel about it similar to other King flicks, but imo, the reason this was acceptable was in large part due to the acting and casting of Robert John Burke. Horror type flicks are very hard to do well.
King adapted movies either work or they don't.
