Crystal Cave

Crystal Cave (結晶洞穴) is a Location in Dark Souls. It is accessible via The Duke's Archives, and houses the final battle with Seath the Scaleless. 

Information

The Crystal Cave is a treacherous area connected to the Duke’s Archives, serving as the final battleground against Seath the Scaleless. The cave is notable for its invisible bridges and powerful enemies. Navigating the area requires extreme caution, as falling is a constant risk. There is no bonfire within the Crystal Cave until Seath is defeated, making the Duke’s Archives bonfire the nearest resting point.
