Guide to forming an alliance with the Ash Giants in Outward. Learn how to navigate Hallowed Marsh, solve the Ziggurat Passage dungeon, and reach the Giant's Village.
Walkthrough
- 1From Berg, travel south, cross the bridge, and follow the path northeast. At the split, head northwest until you reach Hallowed Marsh.
- 2Enter Hallowed Marsh from the southeast and head north along the road towards Ziggurat Passage. Locate the dungeon entrance sinking into the water.
- 3Enter the dungeon, turn north, and use the lift mechanism to ascend. Defeat the skeleton mob.
- 4Turn left, then left again from the first tunnel to find a lever. Use it to open two gates. Loot the junk pile and knight's corpse to the west, then loot the chest behind the previously locked gate to the east.
- 5Return to the lift and descend to the main hall. Head south through the now-open gate to face a Blade-Dancer. Use the main hall space to kite the enemy, or use the lift for respite. Focus on the Blade-Dancer's spinning blades for attack cues.
- 6After defeating the Blade-Dancer, return to its room and use the lever to open a chest. Loot the chest, then head back upstairs through the west gate to a cavern. Jump down the ledge to reach the other side of Ziggurat Passage.
- 7Alternatively, to open the bridge outside: return to the main hall, head west down the stairs through the now-open gate. Carefully approach to encounter a Phytosaur. Use ranged attacks to lure it into the main hall and defeat it. Avoid its poisonous fumes and the rancid water.
- 8Enter the Phytosaur's cavern, find the Jade Lich's Idol on a stone plinth, and take it.
- 9Return to the main hall and place the idol on the stone plinth. This activates the bridge outside.
- 10Exit the dungeon. The bridge will be to the southwest. Use it to travel west between islands until you reach the main road.
- 11Turn north and descend a steep slope, then follow the path north. You will see the Giant's Village to the east.
- 12Continue north until you find a stone bridge. Turn east and cross it to reach the Giant's Village.

- The Phytosaur is slow but emits poisonous fumes.
- Avoid standing in the rancid water in the Phytosaur's area.
- The Jade Lich's Idol is key to opening the bridge.
