LocationTwo glowing-sword Man-Serpents above Temple of Eiglay

Mt. Gelmir

Starting Site of Grace: Temple of Eiglay

Before you go

  • Defeat the Godskin Noble and open the outside shortcut lift beside Temple of Eiglay.
  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.
  16. Take the lift on the right inside Temple of Eiglay and go out onto its upper balcony. Drop over the barrier onto the solid ground beside the lava rather than into the pool.
  17. Follow the narrow volcanic path past the fire slugs. Before the corpse at its end, drop left onto the lower ledge, then follow it around and uphill toward the larger lava pool.
  18. Cross toward the western building, avoid the Abductor Virgin, and enter through the open window around its right side. The ladder inside descends to the prison and is not needed for Rya or the ashes.
  19. Open the forward door, pass the Man-Serpent and climb the stairs on the right. Use the doorway on the left at the top to reach the shortcut lift.
  20. Activate the wooden shortcut lift back toward Temple of Eiglay. Once open, use this outside lift from the temple grace for repeat runs instead of repeating the lava and window approach.
  21. At its upper end, go onto the bridge and defeat the Man-Serpent carrying a glowing orange curved sword. Continue through the next tower to the connected walkway for the second glowing-sword carrier.
  22. Collect any drops from both enemies, then rest at Temple of Eiglay and repeat. The base weapon chance is 1% from each carrier at 100 Item Discovery. Serpents with ordinary swords, whips or staffs have different loot.

Notes

  • Normal attacks deal physical and Fire damage. Strength gives stronger physical scaling than Dexterity, while Faith improves the Fire portion. Raising Strength does not strengthen the separate magma pools in the same way that raising Faith does.
  • Magma Shower costs 12 FP for the first spinning slash and another 12 FP for its two-slash follow-up. It scatters magma that keeps dealing Fire damage while a target remains in the pool.
  • The blade contacts use the weapon's physical and Fire damage. The pools scale with Faith and weapon upgrades, so Faith matters more when the pools are doing much of your damage. Slow or large targets are easier to keep inside them.
  • Blade and pool hits can activate repeated-hit bonuses. The pools can also help recover recently lost HP while Malenia's Great Rune is active. That recovery needs the rune's conditions and is not passive healing built into the sword.
  • Shard of Alexander strengthens the skill. Talisman of the Dread improves eligible magma damage by 15% in PvE or 10% in PvP. Fire bonuses improve Fire damage, but do not increase the physical part of a sword hit.
  • The skill is not charged, so Godfrey Icon does not apply. It has no innate bleed merely because it makes several rapid contacts.
  • Requires 9 Strength, 15 Dexterity and 16 Faith, weighs 4.0 and has a normal critical rating of 100.
  • Its skill and affinity are fixed, and grease or weapon enchantments cannot be applied. Upgrade it with Somber Smithing Stones to +10.
  • Only the glowing curved-sword Man-Serpents on the upper manor route provide this drop. Each has a 1% base chance at 100 Item Discovery. Higher discovery helps, and resting lets you repeat the two-carrier route; the drop is not guaranteed after a fixed number of runs.
