Dragon Eye
- From the Blighttown swamp bonfire, head toward the opposite end of the swamp, away from Quelaag's mound, and climb the large root leading into the hollow tree.
- Open the chest in the tree, then strike the wall behind it. Strike the second concealed wall beyond the next chest to reveal the Great Hollow.
- Descend the Great Hollow using the branches and ladders. Keep away from the Basilisks' curse clouds and continue through the mushroom-filled bottom to Ash Lake.
- Follow the narrow beach to its far end, passing the Hydra and the hollow trees. Approach the enormous Stone Dragon and pray at it to join Path of the Dragon.
- Without the Lordvessel, resting at the bottom means climbing back through the Great Hollow to leave. The deep water beside the beach is a fatal drop.

Leaving and betrayal
Dragon Eye duels and scale offerings are separate from ordinary invasions.
Cutting this tail does not anger the dragon or break its covenant. Covenant stones and the tail weapon are separate rewards.
Leaving a covenant can reduce its recorded offerings and rank. A covenant item remaining in your inventory does not prove that its membership-dependent effect is still available. Absolution cannot revive a dead covenant leader.
