About this item

Grace that dwells within the inhabitants of the Lands Between; the lingering residue of gold.

Use to gain 12500 runes.

The Numen are said to have come from outside the Lands Between, and are in fact of the same stock as Queen Marika herself.

Main canopy branch above Haligtree Town

Miquella's Haligtree

Starting Site of Grace: Haligtree Canopy

Before you go

• Reach the Haligtree through the Ordina sending gate.

1. Obtain the right Haligtree Secret Medallion half from Albus in the Village of the Albinaurics. He is disguised as a pot on the uphill path, before the bridge leading toward the Omenkiller.
2. Obtain the left half from the tower beyond Commander Niall at Castle Sol in the northern Mountaintops. After winning, continue behind his arena, ride the lift and loot the rooftop corpse.
3. Return to Grand Lift of Rold with both halves and switch to the secret-medallion prompt. The ordinary Rold Medallion sends you to a different destination.
4. Take the main stairs through Hidden Path to the Haligtree and leave into Consecrated Snowfield. Continue north through the blizzard, following the road toward Inner Consecrated Snowfield, then on to Ordina, Liturgical Town.
5. Activate Ordina's grace and find the evergaol seal toward the back of town. Enter it to light the four statues. Invisible assassins patrol the streets and Albinauric archers fire from the rooftops.
6. From the evergaol seal, go left down the stairs and left again to light the street-level statue. Head toward the second stairs leading toward the town grace, but take the path around the building on their right instead of going down.
7. Climb the ladder around that building and the next ladder to its rooftop statue. After lighting it, drop from the eastern side onto the red roof, cross the connected rooftops and climb the next pair of ladders to another statue.
8. Go down those ladders and return to the evergaol courtyard. Pass the right side of the building, drop to the snowy ground and head west around the next building to the last pair of ladders. Light the fourth statue to lift the seal.
9. Back in ordinary Ordina, climb the long northern staircase and use the sending gate at its top. Activate Haligtree Canopy when you arrive.
10. From Haligtree Canopy, head east along the branch, climb over the pink mushroom near the envoy and turn south at the junction. Continue past the patrolling envoy to the next junction, then follow its northeastern branch to the end and look southeast for the branch below.
11. Drop onto that branch. The larger envoy is to the east; return west toward your landing and look south for the mushroom cluster with a corpse. Descend onto the mushrooms, keeping clear of the edges and using them as cover from bubbles.
12. Go north along the branch past the envoys to the ant patrol. Draw the ants onto a wider section before fighting, then turn back south and take the first broad branch east-southeast.
13. At its next junction, turn southwest uphill. Just beyond the smaller branch on your left, drop south onto the broad branch below. At the fork, use the southern branch, then turn right onto the thin branch before its far tip.
14. Follow the thin branch over the next branch, turn northeast onto that one and climb as it curves north. Pass the envoy and turn southeast toward the next envoy, then return west to the large junction.
15. Take the northwestern mushroom ledge with the Preserving Boluses corpse. Drop southwest onto the mushrooms below, then southwest again onto the main branch.
16. Head north-northeast. Beyond the branch sticking vertically up on your left, use the mushroom patch on the right to drop onto the branch beneath. Follow it to the larger branch, turn left and continue north-northeast, then northwest at the junction toward the huge envoy firing bubbles.
17. Near the huge envoy, drop onto the broad main branch below. Instead of heading north toward the trunk ladder, go south uphill through the rot flowers.
18. Loot the corpse carrying Numen's Rune on this main branch. Another nearby body has Flaming Bolts; check the pickup name rather than stopping after the first body.
19. Turn back north to the stone platform and ladder when you want to continue to Haligtree Town. No boss needs to be defeated for this rune.

Notes

• Use one to add 12,500 runes to your carried total. The item is consumed. Selling one to a merchant gives the same 12,500 runes, so neither option increases its value.
• The unspent item stays in your inventory when you die. Once converted into runes, its value follows the normal death-and-recovery rules, so use only what you need for a purchase or a level.
• Gold Scarab and rune-gain foods do not increase this fixed item value. Those bonuses apply to eligible rune rewards from enemies instead.
• Can hold 99, with another 600 in storage. Unused copies carry into a later Journey, and their individual rune value stays the same.
• The large-abdomen ants in Deeproot Depths provide guaranteed copies, but those particular ants do not respawn. Ordinary ants are not interchangeable targets for that guaranteed reward.
• This is one checked fixed pickup. Once collected, resting at a grace does not put that corpse's rune back.
• The Haligtree corpse is an alternative to the nonrespawning queen ants in Deeproot Depths. The ants' guaranteed item reward is not an unlimited farming loop.
