Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin at the Castle Front Site of Grace, located outside Castle Ensis. If you haven't been there, travel east of the Three-Path Cross Site of Grace, cross Ellac Greatbridge, and continue northeast.
  2. 2
    From the Castle Front Site of Grace, head south to the main path and follow it east. Take the upper path leading east.
  3. 3
    Continue along this path until you reach the Pillar Path Waypoint Site of Grace.
  4. 4
    Proceed past the thin path with dragon statues on either side. You will be invaded by Ancient Dragon-Man, who uses Dragon-style Incantations and a Great Katana. He is susceptible to staggering with heavy weapons.
  5. 5
    After defeating the invader, continue down the path to a cave opening. Enter the cave and use the Site of Grace within.
  6. 6
    This Site of Grace is within the Dragon’s Pit, a large, spiraling dungeon. To progress towards Jagged Peak, take the northern exit from the first enemy area, being mindful of leaping Skeletons.
  7. 7
    You will find a Shadow Realm Rune [2] to your left. Be cautious of Skeletons spawning from the ground.
  8. 8
    Continue along the eastern path and ignore the northern split. Instead, go south towards a large altar, which appears to be a dead end.
  9. 9
    Interact with the note that reads “Be brave, Show no fear.” Approach the edge of the altar and leap off.
  10. 10
    You will land outside a fog door. Prepare for a rematch against an Ancient Dragon-Man, who wields a stronger Great Katana. Dodge his Dragonfire and other dragon-related spells in the large arena.
  11. 11
    Upon defeating this Ancient Dragon-Man, you will obtain the Dragon-Hunter’s Great Katana.
  12. 12
    Open the large doors ahead and proceed to the Foot of the Jagged Peak Site of Grace. You have now reached the Jagged Peak area.

  • The Ancient Dragon-Man invader can be staggered easily with heavy weapons.
  • The final Ancient Dragon-Man boss fight takes place in a large arena, providing ample space to dodge attacks.
