Oolacile Township

Oolacile Township (ウーラシール市街) is a Location in Dark Souls. It is accessible via Royal Wood, and leads to the Chasm of the Abyss. 

Information

The Oolacile Township is a once-thriving city that has been corrupted by the Abyss, transforming its citizens into monstrous beings. This area features numerous enemies, dark magic-wielding sorcerers, and a variety of hidden treasures. The township connects to other key areas in the Artorias of the Abyss DLC and contains notable NPCs, shortcuts, and items.

Enemies

Oolacile Sorcerers

• Use high-speed and high-damage dark magic.
• Counter Strategies:
  • Silver Pendant: Reflects dark magic attacks, creating openings for counterattacks.
  • Ranged Combat: Use bows or spells to avoid direct confrontation.

Items

Silver Pendant

• Location: Near the first sorcerer, after descending the stairs.
  • Follow the right-hand path outside the building to a tower-like structure.
• How to Access:
  • Look for the "Light ahead…" message outside.
  • Use a light source such as:
    • Skull Lantern
    • Sunlight Maggot
    • Cast Light spell
  • This reveals a hidden room containing the pendant.

Crest Key

• Location: Later in the area, within a dimly lit building.
• How to Access:
  • Descend a long staircase and spot a lit fireplace.
  • Perform a roll from a nearby wooden platform to land inside the fireplace room.
  • The key is found there.

Dark Orb:

• • Location: Treasure chest in a room with two sorcerers.
  • Note: An empty chest nearby acts as a trap.

Twin Humanities:

Dark Fog:

• • Location: Found on a corpse hanging in a wide hall filled with enemies.

Red Titanite Chunk:

Walkthrough

Entrance

• After exiting the coliseum where Knight Artorias is fought:
  • Right Path: Leads to the Trial of Champions arena.
  • Left Path: Leads to a locked door requiring the Crest Key, which is found later in the area.

Shortcuts

• A shortcut mirroring the Royal Wood mechanics is located in the right-hand building past an area crowded with enemies.
• This shortcut can save significant time when traversing the township.

Notes

• Light sources are crucial for discovering hidden areas and treasure in this dark and corrupted zone.
• Dark magic can be overwhelming; items like the Silver Pendant are essential for survival.
• Many items require precise platforming and exploration of the area’s vertical design.

Trivia

• The messages "Light ahead…" and "Hidden path…" are unique to the Oolacile Township, encouraging the use of light mechanics introduced in the DLC.
• The transformation of the city is a thematic parallel to the descent into the Abyss seen in other parts of the game.
