How to get to the Depths from firelink shrine

[nai249]

I need to get the large ember from the depths to upgrade my weapon past +5 but i don't have the depths shortcut. I have looked at dozens of videos but every single one requires me to have the depths shortcut.

Im using this to guide my way. It would probably be helpful if someone were to draw a path for me to follow

Fall damage in this game is % based, it doesn't matter how much total health you have. If you see someone surviving a drop it means you can do it too, just make sure your healthbar is full before jumping.
