Location and access

Auriza Hero’s Grave

Crucible Knight Ordovis and Crucible Knight

Auriza Hero's Grave

Starting Site of Grace: Auriza Hero's Grave

  1. From Outer Wall Battleground in the Capital Outskirts, follow the road east and down beneath the capital approach bridge. Stay in the low valley and take the southern dungeon entrance for Auriza Hero's Grave, not Auriza Side Tomb to the north.
  2. Ride the lift down and activate the grace. The sealed room straight ahead is an optional weapon pickup. You do not need a Stonesword Key for the chariot route.
  3. Take the western stairs to the first chariot ramp. Trigger the chariot, then retreat until it passes. Move between the side recesses rather than trying to outrun it for the whole slope.
  4. At the narrow archway between the ramps, drop off the side into the lower room. Clear the Basilisks without standing in their Death Blight clouds, then follow the western passage and stairs.
  5. Continue through the next Basilisk rooms to the archway overlooking two chariot lanes. Stay back from its lip, since a chariot can catch you even while you are looking out.
  6. Work down the slope using the recesses and switching lanes after a chariot passes. At the short flat landing, wait for another opening before continuing toward the corpse hanging over the deep shaft near the bottom.
  7. At the lower end of the two-lane slope, pass the last chariot and climb the short ramp to the double doors. Open them, go downstairs past the skeletons and enter the boss fog.
  8. Defeat Crucible Knight Ordovis and the spear-wielding Crucible Knight together. The reward includes the Axe helm, regular Axe chest, shared Crucible Gauntlets and Greaves, and Ordovis's Greatsword.
  9. The Tree Sentinel outfit comes from the separate chariot puzzle. Destroying those chariots first makes this approach easier, but is not required to enter the boss room.

Notes

  • Winning awards Ordovis’s Greatsword and the Crucible Axe armor set. The Tree Sentinel set is a separate reward for destroying the dungeon’s chariots.
  • The chariot destruction puzzle is optional for the boss reward. You still need to navigate the dungeon and reach the final doors.
  • Keep both knights in view. Backing away while watching only Ordovis lets the spear knight reach you from outside the camera.
  • Use positioning or a Spirit Ash to create space between them. A short attack against one is safer when the other is still walking around an obstacle or recovering.
  • Parries can create openings on suitable weapon attacks, but these knights cannot be backstabbed. Repeatedly circling behind them will not produce a backstab prompt.
  • Their later winged attacks do not have identical recoveries. Ordovis can add a tail follow-up, so do not assume a punish that worked against the spear knight is safe against him.
  • Auriza Hero’s Grave is separate from Auriza Side Tomb. The transporter chest dungeon nearby leads to a Grave Warden Duelist instead.
