Open both doors, turn right and drop down. In the lower room, there is a switch behind some boxes that will lower a small platform with a metal chest on it containing the Southern Ritual Band +1 ring.

- Inside a room with a single mage and spider there are destructible items blocking a door. Behind them is a chest containing the Crescent Axe and Soul Vortex.

Notes
- The summon sign of Benhart of Jugo is in a tent at the campsite.
- To get to Cromwell the Pardoner, head up the ladder to the left outside the Prowling Magus & Congregation chapel room.
- Weaponsmith Ornifex, appears in the room next to the Lower Brightstone Cove bonfire after having freed her in the Shaded Woods.
- The summon sign of Ashen Knight Boyd is behind a pillar opposite of Freja's fog wall.
- A small "task" has to be completed before the Pickaxe is obtainable. See its page for details.
- In NG+ there is an additional encounter with the Duke's Dear Freja emerging from the hole right in front of the entrance to the chapel. She has limited attacks and mostly spits acid at you, as only a portion of her body is out of the hole. Her health bar shows up and it's possible to defeat her here. Any damage that you do to her at this point will carry over when you reach her boss room. She will retreat after a period of time or if you run away.
- The spiders will not attack if you carry a lit torch, allowing you to easily dispatch them
