In the middle of the roof is a nest where you can trade items with a hidden crow in exchange for other items. Head to the immediate left and knock down the ladder so you have an easier time accessing this area in the future. From here you can drop down to the top of the stone support pillar and move safely down to the roof below. About halfway across there’s a broken portion the bridge that allows you to move down slightly. When you reach the top, head across the bridge. If you have the Tower Key, open the gate and head up the stairs. Depending on your weight it is possible to make the jump onto the roof, but if you have the Tower Key (bought for 20,000 souls from the Shrine Handmaid), there’s a much easier way to get to the item corpse (which only holds three Homeward Bones). Head up the stairs to the left of the tree and turn around to see an item corpse on the rooftop.

When these seeds are used it causes invaders to be attacked by normal enemies. You simply have to stand in front of the tree to see if an item is available. These fall periodically after you’re invaded by another player, and the chances increase by 10 percent with each invasion (up to 50 percent), but there’s no glowing point to identify there’s an item to be found. If you stand directly in front of the tree you may find the Seed of a Giant Tree. When you reach the top floor, there are three window-like archways to the right, with a tree outside wrapped in a statue. From the main entrance to the Firelink Shrine, head up the stairs to the right (facing toward the shrine).
