This shimmering, treacherous cavern is accessed through the gardens behind the Duke's Archives and leads to the lair of Seath the Scaleless. You must navigate narrow crystalline walkways and invisible pathways spanning vast chasms while dealing with crystal golems and giant clams. The primary goal is to defeat Seath the Scaleless to obtain a Lord Soul and kindle the Lordvessel.

Tips

  • Equip Prism Stones or use arrows to drop onto the ground ahead of you to safely map out invisible paths.
  • Wear armor or rings with high curse resistance, such as the Cursebite Ring, because Seath's crystal breath builds up curse rapidly.
  • To reliably cut Seath's tail, lure him to the Primordial Crystal, let him break it with his own attack to temporarily stun him, and immediately run behind his rear center tail.
