How to reach one of the lowest depths of the Shadow Realm.

Seems like a dead end though, or is it?

From here, you have two options.

Abyssal Woods

But, once you get to the bottom of these platforms, youll be southeast of the map.

Stay next to the cliff wall and youll find the entrance to theDarklight Catacombs.

Youll also encounter stone imps, including a new bigmouth jot down that fires explosive cannonballs.

Burning boats in the Shadow Keep

Well, almost, except you have to fight a sub-boss,Jori, Elder Inquisitor.

Summoning a Spirit Ash will definitely help balance the numbers.

Once defeated, Jori will drop hisBarbed Staff-Spear, along with260,000 Runes.

Ladder going down through a hidden path under a waterfall

Youll also be able to activate another Site of Grace called ‘Forsaken Graveyard’.

After all that, youve made it to Abyssal Woods!

From there, you might continue the path that gradually takes you to the southeast of the map.

Room with a conspicuous fake wall

Theres a red invader NPC here calledMadding Handwho you could fight, and will drop their weapon Madding Hand.

Once you reach Midras Manse, you could finally take onMidra, Lord of Frenzied Flame.
