Location and access

Lakeside Crystal Cave

Lakeside Crystal Cave boss

Starting Site of Grace: Lakeside Crystal Cave

  1. From Scenic Isle in southern Liurnia, ride south across the shallow water to the cliff. Lakeside Crystal Cave opens at lake level, rather than on the cliff above. Enter and activate the grace.
  2. Look into the large shaft near the entrance and descend using the illuminated rocks. Take the short drops separately, then move east onto the outcrop marked by fire and a candle. The upper Demi-Human rooms and Spear Talisman chest are an optional detour.
  3. Enter the passage from that outcrop and watch for three Crystal Snails. Their crystal breath can catch you while you stand still. Continue along the right side of the next corridor to avoid the larger group on the left.
  4. When the tunnel opens back onto the shaft, drop onto the ledge to the left. A corpse with Soft Cotton confirms this landing. Heal before taking the remaining drop to the group of three item-bearing corpses below.
  5. Follow the lower passage past the last three snails to the boss fog. Defeat the Bloodhound Knight to receive the medallion.
  6. The exit beyond the arena leads to Latenna and Slumbering Wolf's Shack. Her quest is separate from this boss reward.

Notes

  • The reward is Cerulean Amber Medallion. Bloodhound’s Fang comes from Darriwil’s separate evergaol encounter.
  • Descend using the shaft’s ledges and illuminated rocks. The upper Demi-Human area and Spear Talisman chest are optional branches.
  • Heal before the final descent and fog gate, especially if the ledge drops have cost you HP.
  • The knight can follow a retreat with another quick attack. Wait for a completed chain before using a long spell or flask.
  • The path beyond the arena leads to Slumbering Wolf’s Shack and Latenna. Speak to her separately if you are following the Haligtree medallion story.
