LocationTombsward Catacombs

Weeping Peninsula

Starting Site of Grace: Tombsward Catacombs

Cross into Weeping Peninsula and reach the Church of Pilgrimage on the northern high ground. Head south toward the Minor Erdtree, looking behind the broken stone arch at the cliff for Tombsward Catacombs' doors.
Activate the grace and follow the main passage past the optional Stonesword Key room. That room contains a cookbook and is unnecessary for Lhutel.
At the sealed boss door, take the doorway on the right into the first skeleton room. Look for the skeleton carrying the large curved blade beside the fire-pot thrower.
Defeat the curved-sword carrier and strike its glowing remains before it stands again. Collect any dropped loot, then return to the entrance grace to reset.
Repeat until Grossmesser drops. The Stonesword Key room, fire-pillar route and Cemetery Shade boss are unnecessary for this early farm.
