Shoot him with one of the Ballista set-pieces in his arena. The aiming will be difficult, but a single shot will take out almost all his health.

Cromwell is located in the second half of Brightstone Cove Tseldora, immediately after the Prowling Magnus and Congregation. Exit the church, then take a left to reach a ladder. Climb it to find him up there.

Felkin is located at the very beginning of Huntsman's Corpse, before the first bonfire. You will need a base of 8 Faith and Intelligence in order to gain access to him. If you have 20 Faith or Intelligence, he will also give you the Hexer Set and Sunset Staff.

Licia is first found in the Tower Of Flames after the regular Dragonrider. After exhausting her dialogue, she will move back to Majula at the device that unlocks the Huntsman's corpse on the way to Heide's Tower Of Flames.

Straid is located in Lost Bastille after the Ruin Sentinels near the bridge to Sinner's Rise, in the opened jail cell. Initially he is petrified, surrounded by five rupturing hollows that deal physical damage. A Fragrant Branch of Yore is required to cure him. One can be obtained at the bottom of The Gutter, immediately before the fog gate to Black Gulch. Once you cure him, he will sell the spells and offer you trading Boss soul services.

To obtain Havel's Armor, starting from the first bonfire in The Gutter, turn and jump down to the building below with a ladder. Climb up the ladder, and enter the dark cave that contains poison-spitting creatures. Defeat them, and open the Forgotten Door. Then, smash the vase near the back wall to obtain Havel's Armor, which is of the most useful heavy armor sets from the original Dark Souls.

In the back corner of Majula, near the armor shop, is a two-story mansion with the front door locked. To get the key, travel to the Forest Of Fallen Giants. The path is located near the bonfire, on a road leading down next to the cliffs. Defeat the Cardinal Tower bonfire, then go down the ladder. Defeat the two enemies near the arched bridge, then enter the door on the left. Walk through the white mist to enter a difficult area. Walk up the sloping tree, and drop down onto the rooftop to your right. Then, jump over to the scaffolding, and enter the cave. Wait near the entrance until a large boulder rolls past, then proceed up the passage to your left to reach the cartographer. Talk to the cartographer multiple times until he gives you the key. Return to the mansion door in Majula with the key to open it. Deep inside the basement of the mansion is a map of the continent. Continue down the steps into a small ruin to find two rare items; a Soul Vessel in a treasure chest, and an Estus Flask upgrade on a dead body.

To get down the giant pit in the center of Majula, you will need a special ladder. Once you reach the Central Earthen Peak bonfire, past Hunter's Copse and through Harvest Valley, you will see an outer walkway in the huge tower, looking out over a large window. Go along the walkway, and smash the multiple wooden railings, then continue along the ledge left to reach a man. Talk to him, and he will offer to lend you a bridge for 2,000 souls. After acquiring his services, he will return to Majula. You may also need to purchase the "Miniature Ladder" model in his inventory for 6,699 souls. He will be waiting near the huge pit in Majula. Talk to him, and he will offer to build another ladder. The length of the ladder is based on your donation - the larger the donation, the further the ladder will reach. 500 souls will get the shortest ladder, 3,000 souls will get a middle length ladder, and 12,000 souls will get the longest ladder. Follow the walkways at the bottom of the ladder, dropping from platform to platform, to reach a sewer area that leads to a bunch of scaffolding. Keep climbing down to eventually reach a giant hole in the ground called The Gutter. Approximately halfway down the pit, you will reach the entrance to the optional Tomb Of Saints, which also leads to The Gutter.

Look around the far edge of No-Man's Wharf to find a small room full of poison jars. The wall behind the two guards sleeping at the table is false. Use a speel to breach it to find some souls and the Royal Soldiers Ring.
