Walkthrough: Painted World of Ariandel

Find Slave Knight Gael by the altar at the Cleansing Chapel bonfire and accept his offer. If he is already gone, touch the scrap of painting under the small candelabrum right of the altar.
On arrival, Rime-blue Moss Clump x2 lies to your left.
Leave the cave to light the Snowfield bonfire.
Keep the left wall until a hill in the middle; a Large Soul of an Unknown Traveler is beside it.
Further along the left wall, by a fly, is a Poison Gem.
Follow the wall until the snow gives way; a body there holds a Rime-blue Moss Clump.
Along the right wall past a lone wolf, climb the hill for a Large Soul of an Unknown Traveler and the Follower Javelin above.
Back where you dropped, a tree mid-forest has a Rusted Coin.
Walk on toward the cliff; the Gravetender Greatwolf attacks and flees at half health, leaving Large Titanite Shard x3.
Where the wolf first spots you is a Large Soul of an Unknown Traveler.
Under the big rock it stood on, by a tree, is another Large Soul of an Unknown Traveler.
On the jutting part of the cliff is Homeward Bone x6.

Climb the ladder and go down the stairs for the Ethereal Oak Shield.
On the next stairs a Crystal Lizard drops a Twinkling Titanite.

Walk around the tower to the right for a Blessed Gem.
With your back to the tower door, head toward the wooded hill.

Up the hill the Gravetender Greatwolf strikes again with wolves; it drops Large Titanite Shard x3 again.
The snow breaks again; on the last ledge down is a Large Soul of an Unknown Traveler.
Go left for Black Firebomb x2 up the hill; the maggot pit holds the Frozen Weapon sorcery.

Drop onto the roots and follow them to a Crystal Lizard with a Twinkling Titanite.
Keep the right wall for an Ember.

Approaching the frozen Giant Crab wakes a second one; killing both gives a Crystal Gem.
Behind the crabs, up a small hill, are Homeward Bone x2.
Further on, a living tree guards the Snap Freeze sorcery.

Head out of the church and unlock the gate into the graveyard.
Skip the library for now: go right for a Young White Branch by the living tree and Rusted Coin x2 further back.
Kill Sir Vilhelm in the library for the Contraption Key and the Onyx Blade.
Pull the lever, go to the second floor and out to the balcony; circle around to the Depths of the Painting bonfire and open the gate.
From that bonfire head into the forest along the left wall for Prism Stone x10.
Pass the tree toward the cliff, go right uphill along it and drop in the back left for the Follower Shield.
Take the first right, head straight toward the tower and grab an Ember in a small cave on the right.
Continue to the cliff; a body on the right has a Titanite Chunk.
Go back past the bell keeping right to a tree with a red base. Fell it to bridge over to a lift.

Return to the fly room and drop to the lower floor.
Here are a Blood Gem and Vilhelm's Set.
Upstairs, a hidden wall on the right leads straight to the upper room.
Facing the upper entrance from the Blood Gem spot, work the handle by a pillar with planks to open a passage beside the bonfire.
Facing the handle, turn left, walk to the wall and right to some small steps; break the bricks there.
Two Crystal Lizards inside each drop a Twinkling Titanite.
Outside, drop to the roots and follow them to the tower platform for Pyromancer's Parting Flame and Homeward Bone x2.
While embered, Livid Pyromancer Dunnel invades near the tower centre; he drops Floating Chaos.
