Navigate the maze-like Crestholm Channels in Final Fantasy XV. This guide details how to find consoles, unlock shortcuts, and collect valuable items.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the starting ladder, head south-west. At the fork, turn north-west for a Chrome Bit. Then, head south-east.
  2. 2
    Climb the first stairs to a walkway. Search a north-east dead-end for an Elixir. Continue south-east to find and activate the first console.
  3. 3
    Continue south-east past a locked gate. Drop off the walkway and fight two Bussemands. Note the south-east slope is a one-way trip.
  4. 4
    Search a low section of wall to the south-east of the slope to find a hidden loot spot (Red Choker).
  5. 5
    Crawl back north-west through the low chute and climb the stairs you skipped earlier. Head into a tunnel to the south-east.
  6. 6
    Follow the tunnel until you find a branch to the west, which is a dead-end with a Hi-Potion.
  7. 7
    Continue south-east down the main tunnel. You'll need to drop down into a new tunnel.
  8. 8
    Turn north-east in the new tunnel and crawl under a low section to find an Oracle Ascension Coin.
  9. 9
    Return to the larger tunnel and continue south-west to a ramp up to the north-west. Defeat the Gelatin foes.
  10. 10
    Advance north-east, then north-west around a corner. Kill three Bussemands.
  11. 11
    Continue into a smaller hallway to the north-east, go up stairs, and cross a metal walkway.
  12. 12
    Go up another flight of stairs. This passage ends with a drop-off into a tunnel below. Defeat four Gelatin monsters.
  13. 13
    Turn south-west to find a loot spot (Mythril Shaft) before a gate. This gate now opens, providing access back to the first channel near the first console.
  14. 14
    Head back through the gate. To unlock another shortcut, head north-west. Turn north-east around a corner and grab a loot spot (Rusted Bit). Open a cage door, leading to the tunnel north-east of the initial ladder.
  15. 15
    Return to the previous split and head south-east into a four-way intersection.
  16. 16
    The north-east path is a dead-end with an unopenable cage door.
  17. 17
    The south-east passage is also a dead-end with an unopenable cage door. Loot a Rusted Bit nearby and fight Bussemands and Gelatin.
  18. 18
    In the north-western corner of this south-eastern tunnel, find “Sylvester’s Map Piece D”.
Tips
  • Bussemands can steal items, so be careful.
  • The multi-level layout and lack of elevators make navigation difficult.
  • One-way ramps will send you deeper into the dungeon.
  • Consoles must be activated to reach the deepest parts of the dungeon.
  • Some doors require activation from the other side to open.
