Welcome to Zips Dark Souls 2 Platinum Trophy Guide!

#17 - Gulch Bonfire
~Light the primal bonfire in Black Gulch~


For this trophy you will have to defeat The Rotton boss and light the primal bonfire afterwards. There are 2 ways to access this boss:

1. Acquire the Silver Cat ring and use it to fall down the giant hole in Majula. You will get to a platform that is connected to a tunnel that will take you into the Grave of Saints. Beat this area and you can reach the next area. Or you can wait until you've beaten Earthen Peak / talked to Gilligan and have him come back to Majula and drop a ladder down for 12,000 souls, using the Silver Cat ring again you can drop down to the very bottom of the hole and skip doing the Grave of Saints. Be aware that you will have to beat the Grave of Saints for the Gnawing Covenant trophy anyways though.
2. From there just progress through the Gutter until you reach the Black Gulch.
3. Defeat the Rotten.

This boss is another boss where you can earn a point towards the Lucatiel trophy by summoning her but you will have to find her in this area first. This boss battle is fairly simple as well, just basic melee attacks and fire spells will get the job done. Watch out for a charged sonic boom like attack the Rotten does that will knock you back and deal good damage if you are close. Video guide for this boss is below:
