Prophecy Painting

About this item

Work of a wandering artist.

Reminiscence of a painting titled "Prophecy."

This painter is said to have captured the landscapes seen during the last moments of those welcomed into death's embrace.

The soul of the painter, and vestiges of the dead's last moments can be discovered by visiting the location depicted even now.

Side room off the main courtyard

Stormveil Castle

Starting Site of Grace: Liftside Chamber

1. After defeating Margit, speak to Gostoc beside Stormveil's main gate and ask for the gate to be opened. This approach follows the main road, with heavy soldier and ballista fire, so heal before moving between its cover.
2. Pass through the gate and follow the uphill road into the central courtyard. Avoid the side passage with the Lion Guardian; it is unnecessary for the jars.
3. Cross the courtyard past the barricades and flamethrowers, climb its far stairs and activate Liftside Chamber in the nearby room. Rest here before continuing.
4. Leave Liftside Chamber toward the courtyard, going east and then south past the wooden defenses. Look along the courtyard's western side for the small study room near the Omen and dog.
5. Enter the study and examine Prophecy on its easel. Deal with the nearby enemies first if they follow you inside; Godrick is unnecessary for this pickup.

Notes

• Solving Prophecy rewards Warhawk Ashes, a Spirit Ash rather than a spell. The reward is far south of the castle where its original easel is found.
• Examine the original easel first. Merely seeing it in the room or visiting the solution area beforehand does not activate its reward.
• Find the painter's viewpoint, rather than trying to stand at the distant landmark shown in the picture. Approach the seated spirit, wait for it to fade and collect the glowing item left behind.
• Cross Bridge of Sacrifice from Limgrave into the Weeping Peninsula. Follow the main road south, then take the western branch toward the higher central ground and ride north to Church of Pilgrimage.
• Activate the church grace and walk behind the church toward the northern cliff. Follow the nearby cliff edge toward the broken pillar overlooking the sea and Stormveil in the distance.
• Approach the seated painter and collect Warhawk Ashes after it fades. There is no further church boss or painting-related combat encounter.
• The ashes still need the Spirit Calling Bell and a valid summoning area when used. Solving a painting does not allow Spirit Ashes to be summoned anywhere.
