Manus… sounds very familiar?
But navigating this familiar landscape is not as easy as it sounds.
What awaits you at the top?
To find out, you’ll probably want to have this guide handy to prepare you properly.
More scorpions await you in the chamber after guarding theRevered Spirit Ashsitting on the central statue.
it’s possible for you to find aShadow Realm Rune [1]behind the statue.
Ascend the stairsto the left of the statue to avoid being accosted by thegiant scorpion on the right.
Once again,a giant scorpion will lie in wait on the right side, ready to ambush you.
To the left and through the giant doors ahead are areas you cannot yet reach.
Going along the main path, you will encounter several enemies.
The most notable to watch out for aretwo mages up on the bridge above.
Avoid their strikes by making S-patterns,detouring down the right path momentarily for someMessmerfire Grease.
Venture to the rightdown a set of stairs and into the rubble.
There are several shades here, but the most important is amage hiding behind the rubble to the right.
Continue onward to a set of descending stairs toward a dead tree.
Before continuing, you’ll want toprepare yourself.
An invader, the Fire Knight Queelign, will attack you once you’ve entered the area.
His coming will be announced, so don’t worry about him dropping in unexpectedly.
TheAsh of War: Shriek of Sorrowcan be looted from a corpse in the center of this arena area.
There’s nothing to the left, so journey down the path to the right.
Be wary of the shade hiding behind a pillar on the left (before you reach the corner).
Another shade is hiding in wait around the corner and to the left.
There are several man-flies to your right through the bars.
Certain weapons can destroy them through the bars by thrusting forward or jump-attacking.
This can lower the amount of enemies in the upcoming area.
Continue down the watery path to thedoor on the right.
There are two shades in here, so dispatch them and thenclimb the nearby ladder.
TheStoreroom Key can be found at the top, on a corpse.
Take the elevator downanduse the levernear the large doors ahead.
This will initiate the shortcut to the ____ SIte of Grace.
The Treasure End will lead you to a group of small scorpions around a doorway.
The Storeroom can befound across the bridge where the shade mages stand.
From this edge,jump across to a secret passagewaywhere you canfind the Well Depths Key inside the end.
We’ll hold onto that for now andreturn to the previous rooftops.
Be wary of the shade hiding around the corner inside the secret room.
Challenge the Grave Birdson the rooftops.
There are four in total.
Grabbing those items and theBlack Pyreflyon the ground nearby, you’llface another strong Horned Warriorguarding the ascending route.
This enemy is much like the last but insteadwields a greatsword.
This enemy has more range than you think it does.
Never underestimate its ability to end the distance.
This detour leads to a lower swampy area of plagued man-flies.
Climb the stairs, defeating all enemies on the way, to a large tree.
Here there are:
The next area is protected by a Stake of Marika for a reason.
Up the stairs is a Curseblade.You may have encountered this fast, unpredictable enemy before in your adventures.
If you haven’t, you could be in a world of hurt.
Thebest strategy is to stay in melee, attempting to stagger this beast and remain on the offensive.
Use your Well Depths Key toopen the doordown here after grabbing theMessmerfire Grease.
Ahead, you’ll enter a new swamp area (thank you, Miyazaki, yet again).
Return to the swamp(yay!
), andventure forward and slight rightto a rubble-cladden island where a lone Horned Warrior stands.
Looking left, you’ll spy a tall building sticking up from the poison swamp.
An item sits on top of it.
However, attempting to reach that item will attract the attention of several swarming man-flies.
Your only reward is x8Serpent Arrows.
Instead, you’ll probably want to look for the nearby church where you might pick up thePoisoned Handweapon.
Continuing forward, you’ll seetwo towers lying on their sidesahead.
You’ll want togo past these.
Defeating it willreward you with anImmunizing Horn Charm+2.
With the charm in hand, you canreturn to the Stagefront Site of Graceto finish the Belurat Tower Settlement.
The tree spirit is weak to Fire, should you find yourself struggling in this area.
It is also a good area for spirit summons.
If you have spoken to her outside, you cansummon Redmane Freyjato your aid.
We recommend summoning Freyja both for ease of combat and for story-related reasons.
Ahead,continue up the pathuntil you receive theTower of Shadow Message.
For now, put the Belurat Tower Settlement behind you andfocus on exploring what remains of the Gravesite Plain.
Here is how you could find the Cerulean Coast region in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree.
