Like most Dark Souls 3 bosses, Midir has a large repertoire of attacks, all of which hit like a truck and can make your first few attempts fighting him feel overwhelming and hopeless. If you die during your first attempt, Midir will immediately move in and attack during subsequent attempts, so you only get to do this once. He won’t get up and attack until you approach, so take this time to cast buffing spells, use consumable items, etc.

The first time you fall through the hole, you’ll see Darkeater Midir lying down near the back of the large arena, recovering from the tumble he took earlier. Falling through this hole will drop you into the Darkeater Midir fight. After climbing down the ladder, you’ll enter another room with a large hole in the floor at the back. Striking one of the statues on the right will disperse an illusory wall and reveal another passage that leads to a ladder.

Quickly roll into the side passage and head down into a room of knight statues. Next, you’ll need to knock Darkeater Midir off his perch on the bridge just past the crumbling tower bonfire (you’ll notice he doesn’t die outright once you drain his health, he simply falls into the chasm below).Īfter the above conditions are met, ride the shortcut elevator and look for a side passage that opens up about halfway along. First, activate the Ringed Inner Wall bonfire and open up the elevator shortcut that connects the bonfire to the area outside the church which contains the Halflight, Spear of the Church boss fight.

In order to reach Darkeater Midir, you first have to complete a series of tasks. In this guide, we’ll show you how to reach the optional Darkeater Midir fight, offer some tips on how to bring the great dragon down, and show you the rewards you get for finally besting him. As you might have already expected, The Ringed City contains a fourth boss hidden away in an optional arena, and trust me when I say he isn’t easy to defeat. Congratulations are certainly in order, but your trials are not yet finished my dear Ashen One. So, you’ve worked your way through Dark Souls 3’s harrowing Ringed City DLC and managed to triumph over the DLC’s three new main bosses.
