About this item

Remembrance of the Scadutree Avatar, hewn into the Scadutree.

The power of its namesake can be unlocked by the Finger Reader.

Alternatively, it can be used to gain a great bounty of runes.

The Scadutree is the shadow of the Erdtree.

Born of dark notions that bear no sense of Order, that twist and bend its stock, rendering it brittle.

Scadutree Avatar

Scadu Altus

Starting Site of Grace: Tree-Worship Sanctum

Before you go

• Enter the Realm of Shadow after defeating Starscourge Radahn and Mohg, Lord of Blood.
• Reach Scadu Altus and drain Shadow Keep's Church District.

1. From Highroad Cross in Scadu Altus, follow the road east to Moorth Ruins and activate the grace beside the cross.
2. Pass through the large stone arch east-southeast of the grace. At the house ahead, turn left toward the leaning tower. Avoid the large open shaft behind the house, which is too deep for a direct drop.
3. Find the smaller gap between the broken building and the rock wall in front of the leaning tower. Drop onto the balcony-like ledge, turn right past the dogs and follow the cave inward.
4. In the open chamber at the end, take the back-left ledges down onto the lower roof. Look for the small shrine guarded by three Inquisitors and collect Golden Arcs from the chest inside.
5. To continue east, drop from the lower roof to the ground and take the cave beside the building on the left. Follow it to the long ladder and climb out of the well at Bonny Village grace.
6. Go east through Bonny Village, watching for the large cleaver-wielding villagers, and cross the two suspension bridges. The second brings you to Bridge Leading to the Village grace.
7. Follow the road north through the woods to Church District Highroad grace. Take the northwestern road through the entrance tunnel and activate Church District Entrance inside Shadow Keep. This eastern entrance leads to the flooded district, rather than the main-gate Hippopotamus arena.
8. Jump from the entrance ledge onto the first roof below. Follow its northwestern edge and jump from the raised roof section to the stone wall opposite, rather than taking the southwestern log platforms toward different loot.
9. Follow the wall around and climb its northeastern rise. Jump to the next roof northwest, where a Fire Knight patrols. Clear it or make enough room to continue safely.
10. Cross toward the next large church and jump onto the sloping stone support on your left. Walk southwest up that support to the high roof, then use the broken roof opening to drop onto the central beam below.
11. Follow the beam to the adjoining upper corridor and drop through the opening in its floor onto the raised church passage. Stay above the water and continue northwest; the Prayer Room door is a separate side destination.
12. Pass the small side room holding a Rune of an Unsung Hero and continue into the corridor patrolled by two Fire Knights. The first left exit leads toward the drainage wheel, while the later left exit leads to the Storehouse lift.
13. Take the first left exit and cross the small bridge outside. Clear the bats, go up the steps and jump the narrow gap in the walkway before the tall lamp.
14. Climb the ladder to the large wheel and operate it from the side to drain the district. This permanently opens the lower ground for the current journey.
15. Climb back down and use the nearby doorway and lower platforms to descend to the exposed ground. Enter the small chapel nearby and activate Sunken Chapel grace.
16. Go into the large church with the headless Marika statue. Wego, the Fire Knight elder, controls the burning corpses in the hall; defeat him to make the altar area safer.
17. Inside the drained church with the large Marika statue, use the side passage on the right. Open the door and ride the lift down to Tree-Worship Passage.
18. Follow the lower passage and cross the long wooden bridge. Continue through the church to Tree-Worship Sanctum grace, then leave toward the open basin.
19. Defeat Scadutree Avatar through all three appearances in this encounter. Its return after the first and second defeats is part of the fight, rather than another boss to farm.
20. The final defeat awards Remembrance of the Shadow Sunflower and the separate Miquella's Great Rune. Keep the remembrance if you want one of Enia's unique rewards.

Notes

• Take it to Finger Reader Enia at Roundtable Hold to choose a reward: Shadow Sunflower Blossom or Land of Shadow.
• Consuming it gives 40,000 runes and spends the remembrance. Spending it on runes removes that copy, so choose the unique reward first if you want it.
• A Walking Mausoleum with a bell or a remembrance-duplication coffin in the Realm of Shadow can make another copy after you have earned it. Each mausoleum or coffin can be used once.
• Duplication still works after the original has been exchanged or consumed. It does not reset the stock of an Enia reward you already claimed in this journey.
• Shadow Sunflower Blossom is a colossal weapon; Land of Shadow is an incantation. The weapon is not a staff or seal despite its unusual appearance.
• Miquella's Great Rune is a separate reward from the Scadutree Avatar. Spending the remembrance does not remove that reusable item from your inventory.
• The remembrance is not equipped or activated with a Rune Arc. It is separate from Great Runes and from the direct rune reward for defeating the boss.
• Keep it until you reach Enia's remembrance menu if you want a unique reward. Duplication gives another remembrance, rather than bypassing an already purchased reward's one-per-journey stock.
