In the next gap in the archer's fire, run for that spot and drop down, then drop down one more level. Ahead of you, on the right, is a flat, round area, and you should spot some crumbling stones on the lip at the far side of it. Here’s what we’re going to do: we’re going to wait for a gap in the fire then run around the first gravestone to the left, and then around the second gravestones to the right, and shelter behind the third set of gravestones tucked just beyond the second – you can’t be hit from any direction here, as long as you're well inside the little alcove.

Wait out the storm here, then make a break to run even further back, around the curved stone wall, for the Ruin set. Optionally, turn around to face behind you, wait for a break in the phantom archers, and run back towards the stairs, but pass to their left, hugging them to find a small shelter here. When you're ready to press on, wait for a break in the phantom archers, then run down and take shelter behind the first set of gravestones on the right.

Be sure to put stone between you and the archers while you watch. You should trigger this and retreat, at least once, to watch it happen and understand the rhythm of it (and also to wonder why the phantoms look like Warriors of Sunlight). If you’re not in cover, you’re bollocksed. As you move towards and down the stairs, a grey giant at the far end of this curving wall signals, and a horde of phantom archers appears, salutes, and fires several volleys at you.

It’s lovely here, isn’t it? But don’t get distracted by the view.
