Location and access

Consecrated Snowfield Catacombs

Putrid Grave Warden Duelist

Consecrated Snowfield Catacombs boss

Starting Site of Grace: Consecrated Snowfield Catacombs

  1. Obtain the right Haligtree Secret Medallion half from Albus in Village of the Albinaurics, beneath southwestern Liurnia's plateau. Follow the village path uphill past the perfumer, reveal the large pot before the bridge and speak to Albus. Stop attacking once he appears.
  2. Obtain the left half from the rooftop beyond Commander Niall in Castle Sol. After defeating Niall, go through the exit behind his arena, ride the tower lift and collect the half beside the seated spirit. It is a separate pickup from his direct weapon reward.
  3. Return to the Grand Lift of Rold and switch the action to Hoist secret medallion. Follow Hidden Path to the Haligtree through to the snowy exit. The ordinary Rold Medallion goes to the other part of the Mountaintops.
  4. From Consecrated Snowfield grace, ride northeast while keeping beside the eastern cliff wall. Pass the troll-pulled carriage and find the rising approach to Consecrated Snowfield Catacombs. Enter and activate the grace.
  5. Enter Consecrated Snowfield Catacombs in the eastern cliff of the lower snowfield. Climb the long staircase from the grace to the first pillar spraying frost. Strike or shoot the pillar to lower it, then pass it.
  6. Turn right at the sealed boss doors and climb the next staircase. Shoot the second frost pillar to clear the passage and enter the room where a Burial Watchdog drops down.
  7. Cross that room to the passage on its opposite side. In the next chamber, a knight occupies the lower floor and another Burial Watchdog guards the upper area.
  8. Take the left-hand stairs onward to the frost pillar above the earlier corridor. Lower it, stand on its top and strike it to ride upward.
  9. Pull the boss-door lever on the upper floor, then return to the doors near the entrance. Defeat Putrid Grave Warden Duelist for the cloak.

Notes

  • He awards Rotten Gravekeeper Cloak and two Great Grave Glovewort. The Rotten Battle Hammer, Rotten Greataxe and other Rotten Duelist armor pieces come from separate outdoor enemies.
  • Bring a way to deal with Scarlet Rot. Surviving the axe hit does not make it safe to ignore the status buildup afterward.
  • His running axe attack can continue into another swing. Do not start healing as soon as the first blow misses.
  • Use the recovery after a completed chain for an attack or a flask, rather than trying to trade through the axe with a long animation.
  • The frost pillars on the way in can be lowered by striking them. Riding the appropriate pillar reaches the boss lever; the earlier Watchdog rooms are part of the route, not this boss.
  • This dungeon lies beyond the secret route to the Consecrated Snowfield. Reaching the ordinary Mountaintops does not put you on the correct side of the cliffs.
