The Duke's Archives

 is a location in Dark Souls. This is a prison/library that is similar to the Tower of Latria world in Demon's Souls. Players may find themselves locked away in the archives, and must fight their way past inhuman guards, demented prisoners and terrifying monsters in order to reclaim their freedom.

Enemies

 * Crystal Golem
 * Crystal Undead
 * Crystal Undead Archer
 * Channeler
 * Golden Crystal Golem

Almost all of the enemies here have very high magic resistance, and can also deal very high damage. On top of that, the layout of the level means that often times there will be enemies that the player cannot reach immediately. In summary, it is a good idea to keep moving and not use sorceries or magic-based weapons.

NPC's in Area
After being imprisoned in the Duke's Archives by Seath the Scaleless, a Serpent Soldier releases the Pisaca enemies from their cage, defeat all of them and proceed further into that cage. You will find Big Hat Logan trapped in a prison cell, after freeing him you will find him in a library room located next to the mimic room. Buying all his sorceries will cause him to go hostile in Seath's boss room.

If the player purchases all of the miracles that Rhea has to offer, now Rhea of Thorolund will travel to The Duke's Archives and become hollow there.
