Location and access

Cave of the Forlorn

Misbegotten Crusader

Cave of the Forlorn

Starting Site of Grace: Cave of the Forlorn

Before you go

  • Use the Haligtree Secret Medallion to reach Consecrated Snowfield.
  • Bring two Stonesword Keys.
  1. Use both Haligtree Secret Medallion halves at Grand Lift of Rold, pass through Hidden Path to the Haligtree and follow the road north through the blizzard to Inner Consecrated Snowfield. The frozen river runs east and west across the clearer northern part of the snowfield.
  2. Follow the frozen river east through Consecrated Snowfield to the cave entrance guarded by a Giant Land Octopus. Use two Stonesword Keys to remove the barrier and activate the grace before dropping inside.
  3. After activating the elevated entrance grace, drop into the cave and go east past the summoning pool. Continue east through the Misbegotten chambers to the large ice formations; the northern side room is optional.
  4. Climb the stone steps on the first large ice formation. Make the running jump across to the next formation, then jump to the onward snowy path and follow its descending platforms. Avoid dropping straight from the top into the deep chasm.
  5. Follow the ledges down into the lower chamber. Take the southwestern passage past the jellyfish, then continue west to the next hole.
  6. Descend that hole one ledge at a time. At the bottom, enter the boss door and defeat the Misbegotten Crusader to receive Golden Order Greatsword.

Notes

  • Victory awards Golden Order Greatsword directly. It is one of the legendary armaments.
  • The entrance requires two Stonesword Keys and lies beside the eastern end of the frozen river.
  • Great Wyrm Theodorix outside is unnecessary for entering the cave or receiving the sword.
  • Use the ice formations and ledges to descend. Do not jump from the highest platform straight into the deep chasm.
  • Watch for the golden weapon effect before moving in. The sword’s reach is not limited to the visible metal blade during every attack.
  • Leave stamina after the first dodge because the Crusader can continue its close-range chain.
  • The exit route through the cave is separate from the ordinary Mountaintops. Use both secret medallion halves to reach this Snowfield region.
