Devourer's Scepter

Limgrave

Starting Site of Grace: Warmaster's Shack

Before you go

• Bernahl must still be at the shack.
• This route kills Bernahl and ends his later joint quest.

1. From Stormhill Shack in northern Limgrave, follow the road east into the woods to Warmaster's Shack. Visit during daylight to find Knight Bernahl inside; the nighttime Bell Bearing Hunter is a different enemy.
2. Killing Bernahl here gives his weapon and armor early, but prevents his later Manor assignment, Raging Wolf outfit and Gelmir's Fury reward. Keep him alive and use the later invasion if you want those rewards.
3. If you choose the early kill, defeat Bernahl and collect Devourer's Scepter, Beast Champion Helm, Gauntlets, Greaves and Beast Champion Armor (Altered), along with his bell bearing. The chest drops without its cape.

Crumbling Farum Azula

Starting Site of Grace: Beside the Great Bridge

Before you go

• Defeat Rykard and reach Crumbling Farum Azula.

1. Keep Bernahl alive through Volcano Manor. Finish his joint Leyndell assignment and collect Gelmir's Fury first if you want those rewards, then defeat Rykard. Return to Bernahl at the manor and finish his remaining dialogue.
2. Later, reach Beside the Great Bridge grace in Crumbling Farum Azula. Climb the stairs onto the broad bridge and turn away from the uphill route toward the Draconic Tree Sentinel and Maliketh.
3. Go to the building at the bridge's opposite end. Descend through the Beastmen rooms and leave onto the outside balcony. Use the ladder there to reach the lower walkway.
4. Follow the walkway toward the separate tower. Recusant Bernahl invades on this approach; make room to fight rather than backing blindly toward a ledge.
5. Defeat him for Devourer's Scepter, Blasphemous Claw and his armor, including the altered chest. His joint Leyndell assignment is not required for this invasion, and defeating Maliketh does not prevent it on the current version.
