Key Locations in Leyndell, Royal Capital

Let's break down the notable areas you'll encounter:

Minor Erdtree Church: You'll find this just outside the western gate of Leyndell. It's worth checking out for the Golden Order seal, which is a nice boost for Faith/Intelligence builds.
Sealed Tunnel: Located right next to the west gate, this looks like a dead end at first. Keep pushing into the walls, though – it's a secret passage leading to the Divine Tower of Altus. Inside, you'll face the Onyx Lord. Defeat him to snag the Onyx Lord's Greatsword.
Subterranean Shunning-Grounds: This is an optional area deep beneath the Capital. It's crucial if you're following the Dung Eater's questline, and it's also where you can fight the optional boss Mohg, the Omen. You'll also find the Erdtree's Favor +1 talisman and the Omen's Bairn here, plus access to a secret area tied to one of the game's endings.
Leyndell Catacombs: Also found beneath the Capital, you'll need to access the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds first. From the Underground Roadside Site of Grace, head southeast into the area with the large pipes. Drop down and make your way south until you find a crack in the wall near some Lobster enemies. Through there lie the catacombs, where you'll face Esgar, Priest of Blood. Defeating him rewards you with the Lord of Blood's Exultation talisman.
Queen’s Bedchamber: This area is your gateway to the boss fight against Morgott, the Omen King. Make sure you grab the Blessing of the Erdtree incantation here before you proceed.
