Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First Meeting - Roundtable Hold: After reaching the Altus Plateau, return to Roundtable Hold. A door near the Twin Maiden Husks will be open. Enter and speak to the Dung Eater. He will eventually stop speaking to you.
  2. 2
    Finding the First Seedbed Curse: The earliest Seedbed Curse is in Leyndell, Royal Capital. Go to the East Capital Rampart Site of Grace, take the lift down, and proceed into the next room. Climb the ladder on your right and follow the stairs to the top of the building to find the first Seedbed Curse on a corpse in a chair.
  3. 3
    Second Meeting - Subterranean Shunning-Grounds: Return to Dung Eater at Roundtable Hold with the Seedbed Curse. He will give you the Sewer-Gaol Key and ask you to visit his trapped flesh in the Leyndell, Royal Capital Sewers. Access the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds from the Avenue Balcony Site of Grace by heading down the northwestern stairs. Go through the door, head west hugging the railing until you can jump onto roofs to your left. Jump down, turn around, and head north towards a well behind a dilapidated wall. Take the ladder down, pick up the Rune Arc from the corpse, and head back to open the gate. Take the next ladder down and follow the corridors northeast until you reach the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds Site of Grace. From the Site of Grace, head northeast past the first Omen and continue northeast until you reach the second Omen. Drop into the open grate to your left, just before the giant gate. Take the northwestern path in the rat-infested tunnel. Defeat the rats, loot the corpse at the end, and run past the Miranda Flowers southwest to climb the ladder. At the top, go around the corner, defeat the small hand enemies and their larger counterpart. Use the Sewer-Gaol Key on Dung Eater's cell and tell him to leave the gaol.
  4. 4
    Third Meeting - Capital Outskirts: Return to Roundtable Hold. Dung Eater will be gone, leaving a message. Head to the Capital Outskirts moat, where Blackguard should be. You will find a wounded Blackguard who begs for his death. Oblige him to obtain a second Seedbed Curse, Blackguard’s Bell Bearing, Iron Ball, and Blackguard’s Iron Mask. You will then be invaded by Dung Eater. Defeat him to obtain the Sword of Milos and progress his quest.
  5. 5
    Fourth Meeting - Roundtable Hold: Return to Roundtable Hold. Dung Eater will be there again and will ask you to feed his corporeal flesh in the sewers more Seedbed Curses.
  6. 6
    Final Meeting - Subterranean Shunning-Grounds: To complete his quest, you need a total of five Seedbed Curses (from the six available). Return to the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds with four more Seedbed Curses.

All Seedbed Curse Locations:

  • Leyndell, Royal Capital #1: Take the lift near East Capital Rampart Site of Grace, then climb the ladder in the next room and take the stairs to the top.
  • Leyndell, Royal Capital #2: Go to the Fortified Manor Site of Grace and head to the same room that Dung Eater inhabits in the real Roundtable Hold.
  • Altus Plateau: On Blackguard’s body in the Capital Outskirts moat as part of Dung Eater’s previous Quest step (provided you completed Blackguard’s Quest).
  • Volcano Manor: Go beyond the Temple of Eiglay Site of Grace and look for the Stonesword Key room. Head inside and drop down the cages to reach the ground, on a corpse in a chair.
  • Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree #1: Use the Prayer Room Site of Grace, follow the path until you reach two Knights with crossbows. Defeat them and jump onto the arch and then over to the platform on the left. Ignore the room to the left with the Cleanrot Knight and jump to the arch to the northwest and follow it to reach the Curse on a corpse.
  • Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree #2: Start at the Prayer Room grace again and keep going down every staircase. Drop down and head towards the room with two Cleanrot Knights, but avoid entering. Instead, jump over the railing to the right and drop down. Turn around and enter the dark room under the railing to find a corpse with the Curse.
Tips
  • Ensure you have progressed Blackguard’s Quest to its final steps before the third meeting.
  • You can collect up to five Seedbed Curses before returning to the sewers for the final step.
  • The enemies in Dung Eater's cell area in the sewers do not respawn (be brought back to life at a checkpoint after death) after being defeated.
