Earthen Peak

For the Dark Souls III location, see The Dreg Heap.

The Earthen Peak is a location in Dark Souls II.

Description

Earthen Peak is situated inside a large, decaying fortress that is covered with windmills, and features many enemies and environmental traps that cause poison and bleeding.

The huge windmill, which is right next to the Central Earthen Peak bonfire, can be destroyed by setting it on fire with a lit torch, easing the poison pool in the boss arena of Mytha, the Baneful Queen. In addition, this will also drain other poison pools throughout the area, even as far as the poison pool right next to the first bonfire in Harvest Valley.
