Starting Site of Grace: Prison Town Church

Before you go

  • Defeat the Godskin Noble in Volcano Manor.
  1. At Scenic Isle in southern Liurnia, head east toward the stone gazebo near the telescope. Speak to Rya about her stolen necklace before entering Volcano Manor, which ends this early meeting.
  2. Ride northwest across the shallow lake to Boilprawn Shack. Talk to Boggart beside the cooking pot, ask for the necklace and choose Deal to open the purchase.
  3. Buy Rya's Necklace for 1,000 runes. Buying it keeps Boggart alive and opens his prawn shop; purchase at least one Boiled Prawn if you want his later move and crab stock.
  4. Return to Rya in the gazebo and give her the necklace. Finish her dialogue to receive Volcano Manor Invitation.
  5. Reach Altus Plateau through the Grand Lift of Dectus with the medallion halves from Fort Haight and Fort Faroth, or by defeating Magma Wyrm Makar at Ruin-Strewn Precipice. Rya waits at the top of Dectus for lift arrivals, or by Lux Ruins near Erdtree-Gazing Hill for the precipice route. Speak to her and accept her hand to travel to Volcano Manor.
  6. If you have not entered the dungeon yet, speak to Tanith in Volcano Manor and accept her invitation to get the Drawing-Room Key. Open the first room on the right in the corridor. Roll into or strike the illusory wall in the back-right corner to reveal a passage. Follow it downstairs, past the snails and Bloodhound Knight, to the Prison Town Church grace.
  7. Leave the church through its large doors and take the path downhill to the right. Follow the outer wall, watching for the Abductor Virgin. When the path splits at the stairs, cross the bridge toward the large building guarded by a Man-Serpent. Its front door is locked, so go around the right side to the ladder.
  8. From the roof, go south and look over the western edge for the balcony with an open doorway and lantern. Drop onto it and enter the room with the Omenkiller.
  9. Clear the Omenkiller, leave through the southern door and climb the ladder on the left. Follow the balcony left and drop onto the adjoining roof. Continue through the side entrance into the building and open its main door as a shortcut.
  10. Go southeast down the interior stairs. At the bottom, follow the corridor into the room on the right and activate Guest Hall grace.
  11. Return to the lower corridor and leave through its large northeastern door. Climb down the ladder on the right to the lava-side ground.
  12. Use the solid ground and the sloping roof of the building east of you to cross toward the northeastern rooftops. Follow the rampart toward the western building, then turn southeast to the stairs guarded by a Man-Serpent.
  13. At the top, use the cage lift that takes you upward toward the temple. The other lift descends toward an optional Magma Wyrm and is not the route to the Godskin Noble.
  14. Pass the Blackflame Monk on the upper stairs. Before entering the temple, turn left and activate the bridge mechanism to raise the shortcut back toward Prison Town Church.
  15. Enter Temple of Eiglay and defeat the Godskin Noble. Activate Temple of Eiglay grace afterward. Rykard is not required for this part of the dungeon.

Notes

  • With Standard affinity, physical damage has equal Strength and Dexterity scaling. Heavy changes it to Strength, Keen favors Dexterity and Quality uses both. Choose the affinity around your actual attributes rather than assuming every double-thrust build needs Dexterity.
  • Its charged heavy attacks make two thrusts. Each hit carries the full normal status buildup, so landing both is particularly useful with Blood or Poison affinity or a compatible coating. The weapon has no innate bleed or poison of its own.
  • Both hits also keep their normal damage to a guarding enemy's stamina. This does not mean each hit deals a full charged attack's health damage: the damage is divided between the two contacts.
  • The two contacts help activate repeated-hit bonuses. Moving away after the first hit gives up part of the attack, and a fast target can leave before the second thrust lands.
  • Its thrusting attacks deal Pierce damage and can gain Spear Talisman's counterattack bonus when they catch an enemy during its attack. Counterattack damage is different from a backstab or riposte; its critical rating is the normal 100.
  • The default Impaling Thrust costs 9 FP and drives forward through a guard. This is a skill, while the distinctive double thrust belongs to its charged normal heavy attacks and remains when you replace the skill.
  • Can use compatible Ashes of War. Grease or a weapon enchantment can be applied while using an affinity that allows weapon buffs. Blood and Poison affinities add their own buildup, while Occult alone does not create an innate status effect.
  • Requires 14 Strength and 17 Dexterity and weighs 7.0. Upgrade it with Smithing Stones to +25.
  • The Godskin Noble in Temple of Eiglay drops it together with Noble Presence. The bridge Noble near the Divine Tower of Liurnia gives the armor instead, and the Godskin Duo does not provide another Stitcher.
