Exploring Cliffroad Terminus

From the Gravesite Plain (Central) area, head west along the main path. You'll soon arrive at the Cliffroad Terminus Site of Grace. This is a good spot to rest and prepare for the upcoming section.

  • Item Location: Near the Cliffroad Terminus Site of Grace, search the immediate vicinity for a Scadutree Fragment. These are crucial for increasing your Scadutree Blessing, which boosts your attack power and damage negation in the Shadow Realm.
  • Enemy Alert: Keep an eye out for agile Foot Soldiers and a few larger, armored enemies patrolling the cliffside. Utilize ranged attacks or bait them into narrower passages for easier combat.

The Artist's Shack and Church of Benediction

Continue following the cliffside path west from the Cliffroad Terminus. The path will wind around, eventually leading you to a small, dilapidated structure known as the Artist's Shack.

  • NPC Encounter: Inside the Artist's Shack, you might find a cryptic message or an item hinting at the lore of the Shadow Realm.
  • Item Location: Just beyond the Artist's Shack, you'll discover the Church of Benediction. Inside, you can find a Sacred Tear at the altar, which enhances the potency of your Flask of Crimson Tears and Flask of Cerulean Tears.
  • Optional Detour: From the Church of Benediction, you can spot a path leading down towards a lower section of the Gravesite Plain. This area often contains crafting materials and sometimes a minor enemy encampment.

Approaching Belurat Tower Settlement

After exploring the Church of Benediction, continue west. The terrain will become more rugged, and you'll begin to see the imposing structures of the Belurat Tower Settlement in the distance. The path will eventually lead you to the main entrance of the settlement.

  • Enemy Alert: As you get closer to Belurat, the enemies will become more formidable, often including heavily armored knights and watchdogs. Consider using stealth or drawing them out one by one.
  • Site of Grace: Before entering the main gate of Belurat, you'll find the Belurat Tower Settlement Site of Grace. Activate this to establish a convenient respawn point.
  • Preparation: This is an excellent point to ensure your equipment is upgraded, your Flasks are full, and you have any desired buffs active, as the Belurat Tower Settlement is a significant legacy dungeon.
