Ruins of Unte courtyard shrine
Scadu Altus
Starting Site of Grace: Castle Watering Hole
Before you go
- To enter the Realm of Shadow, defeat Starscourge Radahn and Mohg, Lord of Blood, then touch the withered arm in Mohg's arena at Mohgwyn Palace.
- Bring a Hefty Furnace Pot to move the blocking golem.
- To enter the Realm of Shadow, defeat Starscourge Radahn and Mohg, Lord of Blood, then touch the withered arm in Mohg's arena at Mohgwyn Palace.
- For the main Shadow Keep approach, defeat the Golden Hippopotamus and activate Main Gate Plaza grace. Follow the left-hand route through the keep to the upper courtyard lined with burning boats. Watch for the Militiamen hiding beside them.
- At the southeastern end of the boat courtyard, find the ladder beside the outer railing and descend to the water. Walk behind the waterfall and take the second ladder down to the painting room.
- Strike the false wall beside the Domain of Dragons painting. Follow the revealed passage and rest in the stone coffin to arrive at Castle Watering Hole.
- From Castle Watering Hole, go southeast to Ruins of Unte. A dormant Furnace Golem blocks the courtyard entrance.
- Climb the neighboring ruin until you can throw into the golem's basket. Use a Hefty Furnace Pot to wake it and move it away from the doorway.
- Enter the opened courtyard and find the small shrine. Open its chest for Giant Golden Arc. The ordinary Furnace Golem fight is not the source of the spell.
Notes
- Requires 34 Faith, uses one memory slot and costs 24 FP. It sends out one large Holy arc, rather than the three smaller arcs of Golden Arcs.
- Charging raises attack power from 215% to 265% of Incantation Scaling. Stance damage rises from 8 to 12, and stamina from 20 to 26, while the FP cost stays at 24.
- An actively held Spiraltree Seal improves it by 20%. You can cast with another seal while holding Spiraltree Seal for that bonus.
- Godfrey Icon boosts the charged version. Holy damage and incantation bonuses apply, while Shard of Alexander and Magic-only bonuses do not improve it.
- The broad arc is useful against enemies spread across the path ahead. It is slower than the smaller Golden Arcs and still needs an opening to complete the cast.
- The spell's traveling center creates the broad arc, so it can work better through a narrow corridor than its wide visual shape might suggest. A solid obstacle can still stop the attack.
- It is inside Ruins of Unte's courtyard shrine chest. The Hefty Furnace Pot wakes the dormant golem blocking the entrance; it is not a key or a payment to a merchant.
- The direct route begins at Shadow Keep's burning-boat rampart, through the hidden wall and coffin to Castle Watering Hole. It does not require defeating Messmer.
