Roundtable Hold

Starting Site of Grace: Table of Lost Grace

Before you go

• Defeat Commander Gaius
• 28,000 runes for the three shop pieces

1. From Highroad Cross in Scadu Altus, follow the road east to Moorth Ruins and activate the grace beside the cross.
2. Pass through the large stone arch east-southeast of the grace. At the house ahead, turn left toward the leaning tower. Avoid the large open shaft behind the house, which is too deep for a direct drop.
3. Find the smaller gap between the broken building and the rock wall in front of the leaning tower. Drop onto the balcony-like ledge, turn right past the dogs and follow the cave inward.
4. At the open chamber, use the back-left ledges to reach the lower roof. The shrine below is a landmark; its optional chest is not needed to continue east.
5. To continue east, drop from the lower roof to the ground and take the cave beside the building on the left. Follow it to the long ladder and climb out of the well at Bonny Village grace.
6. Go east through Bonny Village, watching for the large cleaver-wielding villagers, and cross the two suspension bridges. The second brings you to Bridge Leading to the Village grace.
7. Follow the road north through the woods to Church District Highroad grace. Take the northwestern road through the entrance tunnel and activate Church District Entrance inside Shadow Keep. This eastern entrance leads to the flooded district, rather than the main-gate Hippopotamus arena.
8. Jump from the entrance ledge onto the first roof below. Follow its northwestern edge and jump from the raised roof section to the stone wall opposite, rather than taking the southwestern log platforms toward different loot.
9. Follow the wall around and climb its northeastern rise. Jump to the next roof northwest, where a Fire Knight patrols. Clear it or make enough room to continue safely.
10. Cross toward the next large church and jump onto the sloping stone support on your left. Walk southwest up that support to the high roof, then use the broken roof opening to drop onto the central beam below.
11. Follow the beam to the adjoining upper corridor and drop through the opening in its floor onto the raised church passage. Stay above the water and continue northwest; the Prayer Room door is a separate side destination.
12. Pass the small side room holding a Rune of an Unsung Hero and continue into the corridor patrolled by two Fire Knights. The first left exit leads toward the drainage wheel, while the later left exit leads to the Storehouse lift.
13. Take the later left exit in the Fire Knight corridor, cross to the lift and ride it up into the rear storehouse. Use the doorway on the left to reach Storehouse, Back Section grace. The earlier left exit goes to the drainage wheel instead.
14. Go west across the small wooden bridge and climb the ladder on its right. At the top, go east up the stone stairs, watching the Fire Knight above.
15. Continue northeast past the bookshelves toward the room with Fire Serpent. Use the hole in the southern wall, turn right outside and climb the wooden walkway and stairs to Storehouse, Loft grace.
16. Ride the small lift north of the Loft grace up to the rafters. Turn left toward the west-northwestern beams and work around to the ladder leading to the upper rafters. Deal with the bat before climbing; fighting it while balanced on a narrow beam can knock you off.
17. From the upper rafters, look north-northwest for the arched doorway on a lower platform against the outer wall. Follow the beams until you can drop onto the lower beam and platform beside that doorway. The paired interior lifts and their extra loot are a different detour.
18. Go through the doorway and use the small exterior lift on the right. Follow the wooden walkway and stairs southeast to the larger stone lift, then ride down to Shadow Keep, Back Gate grace.
19. Go through the large doorway out onto the rear field and defeat Commander Gaius. The Marika statue and O Mother passage lead to Hinterland instead and are not required for this fight.
20. Activate Scaduview grace after the fight. Neither Messmer nor the Scadutree Avatar is required on this eastern entrance route, and you do not need to drain the Church District.
21. Return to Enia at Roundtable Hold and open Receive equipment of champions. Buy the helm for 8,000 runes, chest for 12,000 and gauntlets for 8,000, for 28,000 total. The greaves are not in her shop.

21. From Scaduview, pass through the large arch on the northwestern side of the battlefield. Follow the dirt road toward the enormous structure beyond the keep.
22. Look for Albinauric's Shack on the left side of the road. Defeat the Albinauric archer riding a wolf beside it to receive Gaius's Greaves. The talisman inside the shack is a separate pickup.

Notes

• Contains Gaius's Helm, Armor, Gauntlets and Greaves. The first three are Enia purchases after Gaius; the legs are the separate fixed reward from the wolf-riding Albinauric beyond his battlefield.
• The three shop pieces cost 28,000 runes in total. You do not spend the remembrance for armor, and there is no fourth shop purchase for the greaves.
• The full outfit weighs 44.3 and provides 75 poise. Its chest alone weighs 20.1, so a lighter mixed outfit can be more practical if your weapons already use much of your equip load.
• None of the pieces has an attribute, Gravity damage or mounted-combat bonus. Matching the outfit does not create a hidden bonus to Blades of Stone or Sword Lance.
• None of the four pieces can be altered or reinforced. Commander Gaius must be defeated to reach the selected greaves pickup, while the O Mother gesture and Hinterland passage are separate.
