Mt. Gelmir

Starting Site of Grace: Gelmir Hero's Grave

Before you go

• Reach Gelmir Hero's Grave southwest of First Mt. Gelmir Campsite.

1. From Bridge of Iniquity on Altus Plateau, follow the road west toward the fighting soldiers and Abductor Virgins. Find the long ladder against the cliff to the south and climb to First Mt. Gelmir Campsite.
2. From First Mt. Gelmir Campsite, follow the path west, then around its bend south. Pass the wolves to the large stone entrance at the dead end, enter Gelmir Hero's Grave and ride the lift down to its grace.
3. Descend the southern stairs to the first chariot ramp. Move between the wall alcoves after the chariot passes, and clear any skeleton in your shelter so it cannot push you back into the ramp. Hit a fallen skeleton again as it starts to reassemble.
4. Near the lower part of this ramp, take the side alcove containing Grave Glovewort and stairs into the dungeon rooms. Use this side route rather than continuing through the long lava channel.
5. Clear the Pages and skeletons, climb the stairs and wait for a pause in the flame trap. Cross into the pillar room and strike the pillar to lower it, then take the exit into the second chariot passage.
6. Go down the second ramp using its side alcoves. Near the bottom, a Cemetery Shade waits in the corner shelter before the route becomes covered in lava. Keep the chariot in view while dealing with it.
7. Defeat the Cemetery Shade in that corner alcove for Mantis Blade. The drop is guaranteed on this particular Shade's first defeat, rather than a rare drop from every Cemetery Shade.
8. Keep clear of the chariot while fighting. You do not need to descend into the lava, enter the Bloodhound Knight room or defeat the Red Wolf for the blade.
