Coil Shield

Mt. Gelmir

Starting Site of Grace: Volcano Cave

Before you go

• Reach Volcano Cave northeast of Ninth Mt. Gelmir Campsite.

1. Reach Altus Plateau using both Dectus Medallion halves at the Grand Lift of Dectus, or climb the Ruin-Strewn Precipice and defeat Magma Wyrm Makar.
2. Travel around northern Altus and cross the rope bridge near Writheblood Ruins to Bridge of Iniquity. Follow the lower road with the cliff on your left.
3. Near the Abductor Virgins, find the long ladder between two torches on that left cliff. Climb it and activate First Mt. Gelmir Campsite on the upper ledge.
4. Continue northwest past the siege tower and cross the narrow natural rock bridge. A Grafted Scion drops into the next camp; defeat it or move past it to climb the ladder against the cliff.
5. At the next landing, take the ladder on the left. The merchant is on the ledge along this climb. Stop at his campfire before continuing higher toward Ninth Mt. Gelmir Campsite.
6. Continue up the remaining ladders and reach Ninth Mt. Gelmir Campsite beside the high rope bridge. Do not use the spiritspring to the Fallingstar Beast arena for this pickup.
7. Follow the lower mountainside northeast from the campsite to Volcano Cave in the cliff. Enter and activate its grace.
8. From the cave grace, continue into the chamber with the first group of Demi-Humans. Take the right-hand passage when the cave splits. A torch or lantern makes the dark passage easier to follow.
9. At the drop, land on the middle ledge. Turn around there and take the side passage rather than dropping all the way to the lower chamber.
10. Follow that passage into the smaller room, clear the Demi-Humans, and search the corpse among the items for Coil Shield. The Arteria Leaves beside it are separate pickups.
11. The shield is a corpse pickup in the side room. Defeating Demi-Human Queen Margot at the bottom of the cave is unnecessary; she awards Jar Cannon instead.
