Head west from the Church of Consolation towards the Scorched Ruins. Activate the Scorched Ruins - Site of Grace. Within the ruins, you can find a Hefty Cracked Pot and the Greater Potentate's Cookbook [1]. Destroy jars to uncover a Shadow Realm Rune. Cross the roof to find a Black Pyrefly and a chest containing the Blade of Mercy. Drop down to a balcony for a Bone Dart. West of the ruins, near white trees, you'll find the Western Nameless Mausoleum. Inside, defeat the optional boss Blackgaol Knight to earn the Greatsword of Solitude and the Solitude Set. Back near the Scorched Ruins, interact with The Sacred Tower Painting inside a cave. You'll also encounter a Furnace Golem, an elite enemy that drops runes, a Deflecting Hardtear, and a Furnace Visage upon defeat. Focus on its legs while riding Torrent to exploit its slow movements.
