Shrine of Winter

To reach this area, you have to travel to the Ruined Fork Road bonfire in Shaded Woods. Take the western path where there are toxic undead waiting along the road. Continue straight and you'll find a Flexile Sentry. There's a narrow path to the left that leads to the Shrine. You need at least two Great Souls to open passage.

After climbing down, follow the road to the right to find a corpse in the rubble. Loot it to get a Repair Powder and Large Soul of a Lost Undead. Move along the road and you'll find another corpse containing a Divine Blessing.

There's a non-hostile Heide Knight that drops a Heide Lance if you attack and defeat him. Loot another corpse along the way to get a Human Effigy and Large Soul of a Nameless Soldier.

Continue to the tunnel. Follow the stairs and kill the two crossbowmen and a royal lancer. Continue upstairs and loot the corpse behind the large boulder to get Holy Water Urn x2. Kill the crystal lizard along the way to get a Titanite Chunk x3 and Titanite Slab. Continue forth until you reach the Drangleic Castle.
