Nightmare Frontier

First things first, exit the cave. You'll see a Wandering Nightmare chilling by a ledge. Take it out, then head up the little hill. On your left, near some tombstones, you'll find a Madman's Knowledge. Grab it! Then, creep up on the Loran Silverbeast that's just hanging out on the edge of another ledge. Try to get a visceral attack in – it’s super satisfying. After that, follow the ledge to the right, drop down, and snag the Lead Elixir x2.

Okay, so you've dealt with the Silverbeast and grabbed those Elixirs. Now, keep heading up the hill and follow the road as it winds down. You'll run into another Large Wandering Nightmare and a Silverbeast. Keep going a bit further, and you'll find yet another Wandering Nightmare and Silverbeast combo.

Use the environment to your advantage! It's a great spot to heal up if you're in a pinch or to draw the Hunters in close so you can surprise them.

Once you've dealt with the Hunters, head back to that green lantern for a moment to get your bearings. Hug the left wall as you go down the next hill. You'll see another hill leading up to a gap. You'll need to roll across this gap to grab the Fading Lake Rune. After that, backtrack to the gap and drop down. Underneath where you landed, you'll find another Madman’s Knowledge.

If you look around from here, you'll spot the Bell Ringer chilling on a cliff. Getting to her is a bit of a trek, you'll need to head down to the...
