Crucible Knight
This version of the Crucible Knight is located at the very bottom of Rampart Tower. From the Rampart Tower Site of Grace, exit the tower and carefully descend the ledges below. You will eventually break through to the cliffside base, where a Teardrop Scarab can be found. Follow the path, and you will encounter the patrolling knight. A lift shortcut is available if you manage to sneak past him through the stone archway. This knight is as challenging as the one found in the Stormhill Evergaol. Defeating him rewards you with the Aspects of the Crucible: Horns incantation.
Grafted Scion (Stormveil Castle)
This Grafted Scion, a returning enemy from the game's tutorial, is found in the Rampart Tower area of Stormveil Castle, within a room that resembles a pantry. This sizable room features chickens and arms hanging from the ceiling. The path to this room is guarded by powerful knights and other formidable enemies. You can access the room by jumping down from the area where the Stonedigger Troll is suspended and moving towards the doorway. The Grafted Scion is swift, possesses a long reach, and can execute multiple combo attacks, so precise dodging is crucial. While it doesn't drop any unique items, it does yield a respectable amount of Runes.
Godrick the Grafted
As the Lord of Stormveil Castle and the final boss of this Legacy Dungeon, Godrick the Grafted resides just beyond the Stonedigger Troll that guards his chamber, marking the end of the Stormveil Castle dungeon. He is one of the Elden Lords and a mandatory story boss. Upon defeating him, you will receive your first Great Rune and his Remembrance.
Lion Guardian
The Lion Guardian is a mini-boss encountered within Stormveil Castle. It is located past the main entrance, beyond the ballista, up the path, and into a courtyard. It hides in a corner behind some trees, just before a door leading to a hall adorned with knight statues. It is advisable to activate the Site of Grace located further down the hallway before engaging the Lion Guardian, as it cannot pursue you inside. This enemy attacks with extreme speed, frequently employing combinations of paw swipes and slower, more powerful strikes. It also leaps around the courtyard, making it difficult to hit with ranged attacks. Your primary strategy should be to engage it in close combat. It drops a Somber Smithing Stone [1], 2x Old Fang, and some Beast Blood.
Omen
This large ogre is found in the main courtyard near the Liftside Chamber Site of Grace, past a series of flamethrowers. It remains seated at the foot of the stairs until you approach, at which point it will stand. Wielding an enormous sword, the Omen is surprisingly quick despite its size and can swing its weapon with considerable speed. However, it can be staggered by heavy weapon attacks and is vulnerable to magic. Defeating it may yield the Omen Cleaver sword.
Ulcerated Tree Spirit
Another Ulcerated Tree Spirit resides in the depths of Stormveil Castle. From the Liftside Chamber Site of Grace, proceed through the small door to the west, which leads to a set of stairs descending into the castle. Navigate across small rooftops, defeat the bats, and then jump onto the overhangs below. At the bottom, be cautious of the rats and the Giant Rat. Work your way south, then east, until you enter a wide chamber containing numerous tree branches and water at the lowest level. This creature functions similarly to the Ulcerated Tree Spirit found in Fringefolk Hero’s Grave. Upon defeating it, you will receive a Golden Seed.
