    quick note on the big boars, you're only able to backstab (buttstab) the boar in Undead Burg because that spot is exposed on his armour, whereas in the Archives if you look closely there's an additional cover, that looks like a tiny shield on his butt, hiding that spot to prevent you from backstabbing them again

    My first encounter while breaking out of prison went much different than yours. Those lizards ran right past me and derped out on the ladder, distracting me, while tentacle waifus closed in for the kill. Then when I respawned, the sound had stopped, somehow, and every single enemy was patiently waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs lol. Had a rough time down there.

    There's an easier way to get Avelyn, as stated on the wiki:
    Begin by rotating the stairs so that the lower part is connected to the side closest to the item chest.
    Walk down the stairs and onto the "solid ground" of this level.
    Open your inventory and close it to force an autosave.
    Walk back up the stairs and toggle the controls to rotate the stairs once.
    Quit the game.
    Load your savegame. You should now be on the platform above the bookcase with the chest on it. The stairs should be rotated away from you so you can walk off the ledge.
    WALK off the ledge and land on the bookshelf. You should take 50-60% of your total life from this fall.
    Grab the item from the chest.

    I do wanna point out that even though you did do a really thorough job, there are two items you missed and didn't mention. In the room where you first encounter Seath, after killing him, go back there, and you find a Soul of a Great Hero and the Large Magic Ember, so it is worth going back there, but only after killing Seath.

      making a dark souls walkthrough is VERY tough because you might not have done some things which were already explained in previous videos. It's not linear and some things have pre-requisites. Some things are even locked out on your play-through if you did/didn't do something in time.

    For anyone doing the walkthough: I think Cowboy missed a couple items (a soul and a set of armor and the white seance ring. This is how to get them:
    New Doors - Now that you're alive and well, work your way down the stairs and open any of the cells that you can (some may be locked) and search the cells to their entirety - some of them hold Crystal Soldiers inside, so beware. One of them will have the Archive Prison Extra Key in it. With the key acquired, run up the stairs. If you saved Rhea from getting killed by Petrus, she will be in cell right before the one that lead to the key. She will be hollow now though, so do her a favour and end her misery. She will drop 7 humanity and the Ivory Talisman, in the same room, you find a Large Soul of a Proud Knight. After cleaning this cell, continue moving upstairs and climb the ladder. When you get to the top, ignore the door for now and walk left. Drop down on to a ledge and into another cell to find the Maiden Armor set and the White Seance Ring inside. You can drop down in here again to land next to your bonfire. Go back up the stairs and use that key on the one locked cell door you passed on the way down to find a Large Soul of a Brave Warrior and a Crystal Soldier.
    Not throwing shade just writing this for the sake of thoroughness lol.

    There is actually a cheesy way to get the avelyn, when the bottom of the stairs is above the shelf with the chest, wait for a couple of seconds(10+sec) for the game to save, and then run and turn the lever, after the lever is fully turned, quit and join again, when you get back you will be placed on top of the ledge right above the shelf with the chest. Also kill all enemies just to be safe when doing this method.
    P. S. Im playing the prepare to die version so notbsure if it will work in remaster, and keep trying sometimes when you join back you can be placed in the other room with the bonfire.
    Edit: forgot to mention, the aprt when the bottom of the stairs is on top of the shelf with the chest, your position should be at the lowest step of the stairs.

    This has probably already been said in the comments but I'm not scrolling through all of them. There is an easier way to get Avellyn. You can see it in Epicnamebro's lorethrough. For quiting/reloading, the game requires "stable" ground. Same for the green smoke for your souls after you die.
    The moving staircases do not count as "stable" ground. So you if you go to the ledge above where Avellyn is (where the lower part the staircase stops), then go up the stairs and move them, then quit/reload while on the stairs, that ledge will be the last "stable" ground you were on so that is where you will be when you reload. And because you moved the stairs, they will be out of the way and you can drop down onto the bookcase where Avellyn is.

    So going through the prison area I saw a soul item you missed in this walkthrough on a high, apparently inaccessible area shelf across from the horn underneath the staircase.
    The way to get to it is in from your cell where the three skellies are. Open the cage door next to them (you might need the extra key-dont remember which one it was), go out on the ledge and take a right, fall down to another ledge, follow that to the item.
    Then, keep falling on ledges down to the bottom… right near the horn! Makes for a quick shortcut to the bottom to turn off the noise.

    For getting the Avelyn, what worked for me was an equip load of 63.0/144.0 with 40 endurance. This made it to where as soon as my character was done going through the mechanism turning animation I started down the rotating staircase (just moving forward as soon as I was able to control my character again, not sprinting and not stopping) and the timing was perfect to land right on the bookshelf with the Avelyn.
    Wearing each piece of Havel's armor with a claymore, black knight shield and longbow equipped plus Havel's ring and Ring of Favor and Protection gave me the weight of 63.0
    (Not sure if rings contribute to weight).

    Just a little tip, after you kill Seath and buy all of Logan’s spells, he’ll end up in the fake boss room and try to kill you, when you kill him you’ll be able to steal his stuff and get an ember as well, although the ember chest might spawn if you died to Seath, and not when Logan goes crazy.

Not sure if it works every time, but for the chest on the bookshelf that you have to drop down while the staircase spins I quit the game while by the control for the stairs and restarted it. When I loaded back in I was on the banister right above the bookshelf with the stairwell rotated so I had a clear drop straight down and got it first try.

    1: Turn the stairs so you can get across (Walking off the lower side) above the bookcase with chest. Make sure to walk off stairs.
    2: Get back on the stairs and turn it so the higher end is above that bookcase with chest.
    3: While standing on the stairs quit game and log back in. You will now be standing on the side above the bookcase with chest.
    4: The stairs should be so you can't walk back on. Walk off the ledge without rolling, and you will fall right on that bookcase and have your fancy crossbow with minimum risk.
    Fall Control helps if you are afraid of dying.

You should now find yourself back on the ledge, above the shelf, with the stairs turned the other way. Drop down."

    There is a cheese for the boar at the start of the vid. Run all the way down the hallway until you Aggro the boar. Then, turn around and run all the back to the door way and jump out. He’ll attack one time but after he does he’ll turn around and start walking back to where he was. Then you can hit him as much as you like and he won’t turn and fight you.
