@ll_exile_ll: These are clearly early screenshots of a game in development. In one you can see missing textures (the red and blue areas in the second screenshot). And they are clearly using lots of really low poly models and low resolution textures at this point. Do you really think a next-gen only title would look worse than the last one?

@slantedroom: Those doors are for the end of the game. You'll be coming back there.

@sessh: I lost however many that giant frog + the run up to him give you in the very next area and then died rushing and trying to get them.

Are you talking about the giant rat? I had trouble with him at first too. The trick is to take out the small rats right away, you can then easily roll under him to his back legs when he attacks and not get hit.

@bnutz2k: Wait until you get to the Shrine of Amana.

@ares42: Yup. I found it. Thanks!

@steadyingmeat: No lift, just the circular hole and a lever that I can't pull.

Edit: Found it. There is a room up the ladder that had one of those statues that you need to kill enemies by to activate.

@steadyingmeat: I've been up there. That leads to the shortcut you open up down the other hallway.

I beat the two Dragon Riders and have opened the shortcut to the bonfire but can't figure out where to go from here. There is a door that is locked next to a lever that I cannot pull. There is also the area with the 3 archers near where you open the shortcut but that seems to be a dead end.

Any hints on how to progress would be great!
