Seethewater Cave
Kindred of Rot (Seethewater Cave)
Seethewater Cave boss pair
Starting Site of Grace: Seethewater Cave
Before you go
- Two Stonesword Keys.
- From Erdtree-Gazing Hill on Altus Plateau, ride north through Wyndham Ruins into Seethewater River. Follow the ravine north, south of the Minor Erdtree, to the raised cave entrance guarded by Basilisks. Avoid their Death Blight clouds and spend two Stonesword Keys to open Seethewater Cave.
- Activate the grace and follow the tunnel past the soldiers to the first deep hole. Use its ledges to descend into the poison below.
- Bring Neutralizing Boluses or Flame, Cleanse Me for the poison. Avoid rolling in the water, since soaked clothing keeps building poison after you reach dry ground. Watch for blobs dropping onto the dry island.
- Reach the small dry island in the next room. Follow the continuing tunnel rather than the short rat-filled dead end, using the patches of dry ground to clear buildup.
- After the next poison-waterfall drop, take the northern branch. The southwestern branch goes toward the Mushroom armor and is optional.
- Descend the next shaft by its ledges, passing the rats. At the bottom, the western passage is a short loot detour; take the other passage to the boss fog.
- Defeat both Kindred of Rot to receive the talisman. Keep both in view so the second one's threaded projectiles do not hit you while you attack the first.
