About this item

Map of Lake of Rot and environs.

A great lake of standing water downstream of the Ainsel River. It is said that the divine essence of an outer god is sealed away in this land.

Corpse just beyond the arrival grace

Lake of Rot

Starting Site of Grace: Lake of Rot Shoreside

1. Give Ranni the Fingerslayer Blade from Nokron, then use the waygate at the top of Renna's Rise to reach Ainsel River Main. Renna's Rise is the northern tower in the Three Sisters area behind Caria Manor, separate from Ranni's own tower.
2. Activate Ainsel River Main grace and follow the water through the Claymen toward the hanging creature in Uhl Palace Ruins. Use the ruins on the left as cover from its stone volleys and continue beneath it into the river tunnel.
3. Pass the ants, including the flying ones. At the open cavern, follow the river to the right; the left branch returns toward the lower river merchant.
4. Go through the doorway on the right and down the steps to Nokstella, Eternal City grace. The ordinary Ainsel River Well in Liurnia does not reach this upper entrance.
5. Stay on Nokstella's lower river path instead of taking the stairs into the city. Follow the river to the lift at its far end and ride down to Nokstella Waterfall Basin grace.
6. Follow the tunnel past the Basilisks. Their clouds cause Death Blight, so move out of the clouds rather than trying to heal through a full buildup bar.
7. If you have spoken to Miniature Ranni and accepted her request, the Baleful Shadow appears in the open cavern ahead. Defeat it to continue that quest. Speaking to the doll is not a requirement for the map itself.
8. Continue into the building beyond the cavern and ride the lift down to Lake of Rot Shoreside. Activate the grace, then loot the corpse a short way south at the edge of the lake.
9. You can collect this map from the arrival shore without crossing the rot lake, fighting its Dragonkin Soldier or defeating Astel.

Notes

• Reveals the drawn terrain when collected. It does not activate undiscovered graces, mark every item or complete the area for you.
• You do not equip or consume the fragment to view it. Open the map after the pickup, and place your own markers for routes you want to follow.
• Reveals Lake of Rot on the underground map layer. The Ainsel River fragment does not replace it.
• The corpse is near the arrival shore. You can collect the map before crossing the rot lake or fighting its Dragonkin Soldier.
