At the very beginning, you’ve got the option to find here, e.g.
Sester Genessa and a statue with a book.
If you interact with it, you will fight Hadern over the Smoldering Mace weapon.
When you defeat Hadern, pick up your new weapon.
However, the weapon is slow.
Going forward, watch out for opponents.
There is another basic version of the opponent known from Fallgrim.
One of them is standing in front of you.
The other enemy is around the corner on the right.
The third opponent is little further to the left.
At the end of the path, you will find mushrooms.
However, and an opponent is behind the pillar.
Pick them up one at a time.
He will venture to knock you out with a shield and then attack you.
It is worth attacking him with charged strong attacks - several of them are enough to destroy the shield.
you’re able to also get behind him when he attacks and deal the opponent some damage.
Once you beat him, go through the passage.
Now you have two paths.
The upper leading straight is the main path.
First, head right and down.
In the room downstairs, you will find a tomb.
Deal with them as soon as possible, you should be able to kill them with two attacks.
Then step back and follow the main path up.
When you beat him, pick up the Scripture of Repent.
Later, you will encounter two weaker enemies.
You will also find another scripture to read.
initiate the door and move on.
In the next room, you will encounter two weaker opponents as well as an enemy with a shield.
Take care of the two weaker ones first to make the fight with the shield-wielding opponent easier.
Deal with them, pick up the items, then go right first.

The path on the left is the main one.
On the right, you come across an Iron Maiden.
Open it and get a Glimpse of Futility.
The door on the left of the Iron Maiden is cannot be opened from this side.
The shortcut will be unlocked a little later.
Back up and go the other way.
Keep doing this until they are dead.
On the right is another Iron Maiden, open it to get Quenching Acid.
There is a big gap in front of you.
A few opponents sit near the pillars.
Pick up the Bronze Bell and beat 4 enemies.
Inside it, there is an opponent who attacks with distance attacks, usually twice.
You have two options.
The first, riskier but faster, is to run towards the cauldron while avoiding the projectiles.
Then you’ve got the option to kill the enemy quickly.
He won’t attack you if you attack him first.
Be careful, though, because there will be two weaker opponents coming your way.
The second option is to let the weaker opponents get to you.
Stand behind the wall - you will be safe from the ranged attacks.
After dealing with them, run to the cauldron and watch out for his attacks.
Another enemy with a shield is also there.
Enter the room, you will find another tomb.
At the tomb, you will find two weaker enemies.
Beat them and get out of the room.
Take care of the cauldron quickly and then the other opponent.
However, do not go left (where the enemy with a sword is) after defeating them.
Instead, you have to go right.
You will find an enemy with a shield.
Deal with him by attacking him from behind.
More enemies are in the next room (some of them are sleeping, pretending to be dead).
Kill enemies pretending to be dead.
There’s another cauldron on the right.
There’s a door right in front of you - the one you couldn’t open before.
It’s a shortcut.
One of the more powerful opponents is on the right side - do not go towards him.
Instead, move ahead and defeat weaker enemies.
You will also find another scripture there.
Go up the stairs.
Pick up a Glimpse of Futility and Untarnished Mask.
You also find Sester Genessa, meaning you will unlock a checkpoint.
You don’t have to worry that dying will make you start from the beginning.
you’re free to start this fight by shooting him in the head with a Ballistazooka.
If you don’t have one, focus on melee attacks.
Moving away from the enemy won’t help, as the Blazing Herald can easily leap towards you.
Each of his attacks inflict fire damage.
Focus on using Harden and strong attacks.
Then go up the stairs.
The door on the right leads to an earlier location with two enemies using two-handed swords.
Now, with a checkpoint unlocked and a lot of health, you might go there and beat them.
You will find Quenching Acid in one of the Iron Maidens.
Then go back to the door and move on.
You will see a small bridge.
You’ll find Glimpses of Futility and Awakened Stone.
After defeating them, go ahead and launch the door.
After that, kill another opponent and pick up a Glimpse of Hope.
There are two similar opponents below the stairs.
Further down you will encounter another Blazing Herald.
Defeat him in the same way as the one earlier.
Next, you’ll find Sester Genessa.
Unlock her now so you won’t have to repeat previous fights in case of your death.
There is a chalice near Sester Genessa.
Drinking its contents will initiate a fight with the boss, Imrod.
Before you do that, however, go back to the stairs and down.
At the bottom, you will find a chest containing 2x Mortal Token and Extracted Tar.
After that, you’re free to fight Imrod.
A walkthrough for this battle can be found on another page of the guide.
After defeating the boss, go back to Sester Genessa.
Talk to her and go down the stairs.
There’s a body on the left side between the stairs.
Interact with the body to get a key item - the whole location will get dark.
Some opponents will get replaced.
You will now fight mostly with ghosts.
After defeating him, talk to Sester Genessa and leave the location.
