Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the Gatefront Ruins, follow the cliffs northeast until you reach the ravine splitting Limgrave.
  2. 2
    Descend the cliffs to the south, then head north past the Murkwater Catacombs location.
  3. 3
    Follow the river north, passing under the Saintsbridge. Look for the cave entrance in the cliffs to the left.
  4. 4
    Enter the cave and proceed until you find the Highroad Cave Site of Grace. A Torch is recommended.
  5. 5
    Press north and drop down using ledges to reach the bottom. Continue down a passage to a chamber with a pit.
  6. 6
    Descend the pit using ledges. Turn right (northeast) to find a ledge with two Wolves. Defeat them.
  7. 7
    Continue forward to a fork. Both paths lead to a chamber with Wolves, some hiding in bushes. Clear them out.
  8. 8
    Head through a passage north to a large, water-filled chamber with a waterfall. This area is infested with Giant Bats.
  9. 9
    Turn left (north) and note the Stake of Marika. Drop down a ledge and kill Giant Bats ahead and behind.
  10. 10
    Drop onto the waterfall to the northeast. To the left (northwest) is a passage with two Giant Bats.
  11. 11
    Turn right (northeast) and head uphill, killing Land Octopus enemies. Loot a corpse behind a smaller waterfall for a Golden Rune (4).
  12. 12
    Return to the previous waterfall and drop down (southeast) to a ledge at its base. Jump onto a pillar to the south, then to a circular platform with several Giant Bats.
  13. 13
    Loot a corpse in the middle of the platform for the Shamshir.
  14. 14
    Advance by either jumping onto a submerged pillar south (behind a waterfall) or heading upstairs and northeast to a ledge. The latter offers more loot.
  15. 15
    On the northeastern ledge, kill a Land Octopus. Head up a passage to a chamber with a Giant Land Octopus on the ceiling. Lure it down and defeat it, along with any other Land Octopuses.
  16. 16
    Go down a tunnel west to return to the waterfall chamber. Loot a corpse for a Furcalling Finger Remedy.
  17. 17
    Head west and drop onto a ledge under a waterfall. Turn left to find a descending tunnel behind the waterfall, leading to the boss chamber.
  18. 18
    Defeat the optional boss, the Guardian Golem, to obtain the Blue Dancer Charm.
