Shield of Night

Scadu Altus

Starting Site of Grace: Bonny Gaol

Before you go

• To enter the Realm of Shadow, defeat Starscourge Radahn and Mohg, Lord of Blood, then touch the withered arm in Mohg's arena at Mohgwyn Palace.

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. At the open chamber, use the back-left ledges to reach the lower roof. The shrine below is a landmark; its optional chest is not needed to continue east.
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. From Bonny Village, take the bridge south rather than the two eastern bridges to the Church District. Follow the path past the broken cages and the two ambushing Spider Scorpions to the cave entrance in the right-hand cliff. Activate Bonny Gaol grace.
7. Follow the tunnel to the cavern with hanging jars. Stay on the ledge around the right side, defeat the Jar Innard at its far end and enter the cell doorway.
8. Open the door at the back of the room and move into the adjoining cell. Drop through the square wooden chute in the back-right corner into the lower sewer passage.
9. Turn west through the sewer. At the larger junction, take the hard left into the southern tunnel rather than following the dead-end loot branch. Watch for slimes dropping from the ceiling.
10. Continue to the broken wall and small waterfall, then use the drop into the blue-lit jar-storage cavern. Move through the rooms of small and large Living Jars, watching for Jar Innards beside the passages.
11. When the path opens into another deep cavern, keep to the ledge on the left. Pass through the cells and open the gate ahead to reach the moving jar lift above the bridge toward the boss.
12. Ride the jar down to bridge level, step onto the nearby floor plate if needed, then get straight back onto the jar. Ride up past the floor where you first boarded to the hidden upper landing.
13. Clear the enemies on the upper landing and loot the corpse on the guillotine table for all four Night armor pieces. Curseblade Labirith is a separate fight farther below and is not required for this pickup.
14. From the armor table, go left up the stairs. Watch for the Jar Innard rushing from the doorway at the top, which can knock you toward the drop.
15. Enter the room beyond and loot the corpse slumped over the ledge for Shield of Night. Return to the jar lift instead of jumping into the chasm.
