Discover the Murkwater Catacombs in Elden Ring's Limgrave. Learn how to find the entrance, defeat the Grave Warden Duelist boss, and claim the Battle Hammer.
Walkthrough
- 1Finding the Entrance: Follow the river north from the eastern half of Lake Agheel. Be cautious of Flying Dragon Agheel and Bloody Finger Nerijus. The cave entrance to Murkwater Cave is on your left, marked by a brazier. Continue north along the river to find the Murkwater Catacombs entrance. Alternatively, travel to the Artist’s Shack, head west across ruins, and follow the chasm northeast to a crone statue. A beam of light will guide you down. Descend into the chasm and head northwest to find ledges leading down. Make your way to the northwestern end of the river and turn southwest to find the catacombs door.
- 2Inside the Catacombs: Head down stairs to find the Murkwater Catacombs Site of Grace.
- 3Navigating the Dungeon: From the Site of Grace, head southwest down stairs. Be wary of Jade Goblins hiding along the walls and playing dead. These goblins can attack with melee (inflicting blood loss buildup) or projectiles.
- 4First Trap and Goblins: Kill three Jade Goblins in the statue-lined room southwest of the Site of Grace. Continue southwest down more stairs to a fork. Ignore the northwest path and continue southwest. Be careful of a pressure plate in the hallway that triggers flaming bolts. Two Jade Goblins are in plain sight, and a third ambushes from the left. Lure goblins into the hallway to use the trap.
- 5Second Trap and Goblins: After defeating the first trio of Jade Goblins, enter their room and pull a lever. Backtrack to the fork and take the northwest stairs. Be wary of another pressure plate before the next room. Three more Jade Goblins are present: two ranged attackers to bait you, and one ambusher.
- 6Boss Fight: Defeat the third trio of Jade Goblins. Go through their room's northwest doors and descend stairs to a fog wall. Beyond it is the Grave Warden Duelist boss. Use summons if needed. He drops the Battle Hammer upon defeat.
