Black Blade Kindred (Forbidden Lands)

Approach to Grand Lift of Rold

Starting Site of Grace: Grand Lift of Rold

Before you go

• Defeat Morgott and reach Forbidden Lands.

1. Defeat Morgott at the top of Leyndell and activate Elden Throne grace. Walk up to the Erdtree's thorns and examine the blocked entrance.
2. Return to the grace and rest. Speak to Melina to receive the Rold Medallion; it is a conversation reward rather than a corpse drop in the arena.
3. Travel to Avenue Balcony and climb the stairs to the main street. Turn left and follow it east to the large double doors. Push them open and climb the road through the Misbegotten and perfumers.
4. At the upper end, enter the lift room and ride up. Cross the long bridge out of the capital, then take the next lift down into the Forbidden Lands. The branch to the Divine Tower of East Altus is separate.
5. Activate Forbidden Lands grace, then follow the northeast path through the fog past the red scarabs and small golden tree. Watch for Vulgar Militia beside the path.
6. At the statues flanking the great staircase, Black Blade Kindred drops onto the approach. Ride past it, climb the stairs and activate Grand Lift of Rold grace on the right inside the building.
7. Rest, then return down the stairs for the boss. Defeat it to receive Gargoyle's Black Axe and Gargoyle's Black Blades together. Hoisting the medallion and clearing the Mountaintops are unnecessary for the reward.
8. This is a fixed reward from the Forbidden Lands kindred. The kindred outside Bestial Sanctum drops a different sword and halberd.
