Lamenter

The Lamenter’s main threat is the skull effect created when its copies survive, rather than its ordinary weapon hits.

Location and access

Lamenter’s Gaol

Starting Site of Grace: Lamenter's Gaol

Before you go

  • Enter the Realm of Shadow.
  1. From Castle Front, follow the road southeast toward Pillar Path Waypoint. At the fork, use the lower road toward Igon rather than climbing to the Suppressing Pillar.
  2. Continue south-southwest past the broken dragon statues. An Ancient Dragon-Man invades along this approach. The cave entrance is on the left near the end of the path, marked by a fire.
  3. Activate Dragon's Pit grace and follow the lit passage down. Watch for skeletons below the first ledge and around the next corner. Strike their glowing remains after knocking them down to stop them getting back up.
  4. In the large cavern with the pillars, follow the left-hand ledge down and take the passage beside the distant crossbow skeleton. Continue onto the sloping stairs in the next chamber.
  5. Take the downward route toward the large altar and pit. The stairs going up lead to an optional Magma Wyrm; that fight is not needed to reach the exit.
  6. At the bottom, approach the message beside the deep chasm. Walk straight off this lowest ledge into the pit to land safely by the boss mist. Do not jump from the higher rooms or aim toward the side walls.
  7. Defeat the Ancient Dragon-Man behind the mist. Open the large doors at the back of the arena instead of using the return-to-entrance exit, then follow the tunnel to Dragon's Pit Terminus grace.
  8. Leave Dragon's Pit Terminus and descend to the lake bed with a Jagged Peak Drake. You can ride past the drake; follow the southern canyon toward the enormous dead dragon.
  9. Pass the dragon statues and emerge beside the ruined structure north of Grand Altar of Dragon Communion. The huge stone bowl and dead dragon identify the altar.
  10. At the altar, head west over the dead dragon and continue west-southwest toward the red flowers. This leads into the upper hidden grave, not the blue-flowered coast below.
  11. The entrance meets the lowest section of a shallow river. The river climbs northwest through several pools separated by small waterfalls.
  12. Continue northwest up the river past the Mariner pools. At the upper end, follow the red-flowered trail on the western bank to Charo's Hidden Grave grace.
  13. From Charo's Hidden Grave, continue northwest through the red-flowered graveyard toward the cliff entrance of Lamenter's Gaol. Enter and activate its grace.
  14. Inside the gaol, take the left branch at the first fork. Search the second cell on the right and open its chest for Gaol Upper Level Key.
  15. Return to the locked door at the fork, open it and descend the ladder. In the icy room below, take the hole on the right down into the rat caves.
  16. Follow the right branch through the rats to the ladder, climb back to the icy room and take the eastern icy slope. The next room's floor collapses into the bottom level.
  17. Leave the fallen room, climb the stairs and follow the cell passage across the small gap to the jar room. Open the chest there for Gaol Lower Level Key.
  18. Backtrack across the gap and continue through the door at the top of the stairs. Follow the path to the lower locked door, use the key and descend the ladder to the boss.
  19. Defeat Lamenter to receive the mask.

Notes

  • Victory awards Lamenter’s Mask. The gaol’s Lamenting Visage weapon is a separate pickup.
  • Prioritize the copies when they appear. Surviving copies add skulls around your character, and reaching seven skulls kills you outright.
  • The skulls do not simply expire while you wait. Preventing new stacks is more useful than trying to heal through the mechanic.
  • Sweeping attacks or an area attack can clear several copies quickly. Avoid spending the whole clone phase chasing only the real boss.
  • The dark projectiles can interrupt you while clearing copies. Leave room to move between targets.
  • Collect both gaol keys along the route. Opening the upper locked door does not open the final lower door.
  • The red-flowered grave is above Cerulean Coast. Use the Dragon’s Pit and dead-dragon crossing approach instead of trying to climb directly from the blue fields.
