Navigate Stormveil Castle in Elden Ring Nightreign. Find items like the Rusty Key and Warhawk's Talon, and learn about the Godrick the Grafted boss.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After defeating Margit, the Fell Omen, the main gate to Stormveil Castle is closed. A Furl Calling Finger Remedy (Multiplayer Item) can be found down the stairs to the right of the main gate.
  2. 2
    Take the path to the left, heading up the stairs. Collect Fire Grease (Coats weapon in flame) along the way.
  3. 3
    Return to the Site of Grace and take the left path again. Avoid falling down and speak to the NPC (non-player character — anyone the game controls, not you) in commoner attire who can open the main gate, though this path is heavily guarded.
  4. 4
    Instead, take the path to the left. Activate the summoning pool (a statue used for multiplayer) along the way.
  5. 5
    Continue on the left path, which involves several jumps. You will encounter hawk enemies that may drop the Warhawk's Talon (Straight Sword) and other items.
  6. 6
    Proceed towards a Site of Grace. Near here, you can find 10x Bolts (Crossbow Ammunition).
  7. 7
    Continue along the path and defeat enemy soldiers by luring them out one by one. A dead corpse holds Smithing Stone (3) (Blacksmithing Item). Continue to the next Site of Grace.
  8. 8
    In the Stormveil Cliffside area, defeat the soldiers. Collect the Marred Shield (Shield).
  9. 9
    Continue up the stairs and inside. Beware of enemies with Red Hoods (Exile enemy types) and those in white clothing (Commoners). Prioritize eliminating the Commoner throwing Fire Pots from above.
  10. 10
    After clearing the area, collect Throwing Daggers (Consumable) and 10x St. Trina's Arrows (Bow Ammunition) inside a hole in the wall.
  11. 11
    Defeat the Axe wielding Exile enemy at the bottom portion of the area to acquire the Hookclaws (Claws) in the same location.
  12. 12
    Enter a room through a door that will lock behind you. A difficult enemy knight must be defeated. If you die, you can return, and the door will not lock, allowing you to bait the enemy through the door as they cannot fit.
  13. 13
    After defeating the target enemy knight, collect the Curved Sword Talisman (Talisman) and the Rusty Key (Key Item).
  14. 14
    Take the pathway leading back up. Explore to find more items, including Fire Grease and the Brick Hammer (Great Hammer) on a ledge near several Exiles. Be cautious of falling during combat.
  15. 15
    Continue along this path to find Drawstring Firegrease (Coats weapon in flame faster than Fire Grease).
  16. 16
    Avoid the elevator for now and continue onward to the next Site of Grace.
  17. 17
    At Rampart Tower, choose the path with a Statue of Marika and drop down near it. Watch out for dangerous hawks; ranged attacks are effective.
  18. 18
    Continue along this path, avoiding exploding barrels dropped by hawks. Pick up Smithing Stone (2) (Blacksmith Item).
  19. 19
    You will reach a point with two paths. One leads to 2 enemies: an Exile and a Knight.
  20. 20
    Further exploration in Rampart Tower can yield: Smithing Stone (2) (Blacksmith Item), Kukri x5 (Consumable), Rogier the Sorcerer (Merchant NPC), Gold Pickled Fowl Foot (Consumable), Stonesword Key (Key Item), Pickled Turtle Neck (Consumable), Mimic's Veil (Reusable), Chrysaldis Memento (Key Item/Questline Item), Iron Whetblade (Blacksmith Item), Misericorde Dagger (Dagger), Hawk crest wooden shield (Medium Shield), Staunching Boluses (Consumable), Highland Axe (Axe), Pike (Spear), 12x Fire Arrows (Ammunition), Wooden Greatshield (Great Shield), Prophecy Painting (Key Item), and Smithing Stones (1) x4 (Blacksmith Item).
  21. 21
    In Liftside Chamber, find Golden Seed (Key Item) and Boltdrake Talisman (Talisman).
  22. 22
    In Secluded Cell, find Cracked Pot x2 (Key Item).
  23. 23
    Defeat Godrick the Grafted (Boss) to obtain Godrick Great Rune (Great Rune), Remembrance of the Grafted (Key Item), and Shabriri Grape (Key Item).
  24. 24
    On the Bridge of Limgrave, find the Ash-of-War Scarab Helmet (Unique Helmet).
  25. 25
    At the Divine Tower of Limgrave, Activate Great Rune (Key Item).
