🎯 Current Push
Phase III Cleanup
End condition: Morgott felled. Leyndell complete. Forbidden Lands open. Cumulative ~114 / 165.
Next 5 Boss Targets
- Sage's Cave duo — Necromancer Garris + Black Knife Assassin Altus west cliffs, just south of the Erdtree-Gazing Hill grace 🍑 Two bosses in one cave — efficient cleanup before Mt. Gelmir
- Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy — Volcano Manor finale Mt. Gelmir → Bridge of Iniquity → Ninth Campsite → drop to Manor 🍑 Pick up the Serpent-Hunter great spear in his arena. Don't fight him without it. Plus 3 bonus assassinations from Tanith count toward 165.
- Capital sewers — Esgar + Mohg the Omen Avenue Balcony grace → drop through the manhole → keep falling 🍑 Two bosses + Mohg's Great Rune item. Easy to miss the entire sewer system if you don't drop.
- Morgott, the Omen King — Great Rune #5 Elden Throne, Leyndell — top of the capital 🍑 Gateway boss to Phase IV. Killing him gives Melina the Rold Medallion and opens the Grand Lift of Rold.
- Black Blade Kindred — Forbidden Lands Foot of the Grand Lift of Rold, after Morgott 🍑 Optional — can be skipped to ride the lift up. Counts toward 165, so worth it before moving on.

- Snowfield: Astel Stars of Darkness, Great Wyrm Theodorix, Putrid Avatar, Night's Cavalry duo

🍑 Anti-fumble — the sorting: Sage's Cave + Perfumer's Grotto sit on the west cliffs above Altus. The Shaded Castle sits in the valley between Altus and Mt. Gelmir (drop down from the north bridge). Dominula is the windmill village in the northwest — those dancing peasants are the boss.
⚠ Don't Leave Altus Without
- Map fragment (just north of Altus Highway Junction grace)
- Mirage Rise sorcery (Bower of Bounty area — solve the riddle)
🌋Mt. Gelmir
▼
Access — the path most people miss
From Altus: Bower of Bounty grace → northwest to the rope bridge → cross to Bridge of Iniquity grace → west to Corpse Stench Shack → climb the ladder → west again to First Mt. Gelmir Campsite. That's the spine of the entire mountain.

- ○Magma Wyrm (Fort Laiedd)
- ○Demi-Human Queen Maggie (Hermit Village)
🍑 Anti-fumble — the FOREST OF FINGERS: The valley between First Campsite and Volcano Manor is a forest full of giant severed hand enemies. They are fast and one-shot careless players. Sprint through on Torrent, stick to the ridges, don't try to fight them out in the open.
🍑 Anti-fumble — Gelmir Hero's Grave: This is one of the flaming chariot tombs (like Sainted Hero's Grave). Hide in side alcoves. Don't run straight down the slopes.
🔥Volcano Manor

Access (3 ways)
Recommended: from Ninth Mt. Gelmir Campsite, drop down south past the Full-Grown Fallingstar Beast (skippable) → walk into the manor's front door.

- ○Rykard, Lord of BlasphemyGreat Rune #4
- ○+ 3 NPC assassinations (Tanith's questline)count toward 165
🍑 Anti-fumble — Rykard's spear: Rykard's arena gives you a special weapon on a corpse near the entrance — the Serpent-Hunter great spear. Pick it up. It does ~10x damage to him. The fight is brutal without it, fast with it.
🍑 Anti-fumble — Don't skip Tanith's questline: Each assassination contract is 3 bonus boss kills toward 165. Tanith sits in the manor; talk to her, accept invasions, kill the targets in their home worlds, return.

- ○Deathbird (roams at night)
- ○Bell Bearing Hunter (Hermit Merchant's Shack, night)
🍑 Anti-fumble — Auriza Hero's Grave: Another chariot tomb. The duo at the bottom (Crucible Knight + Ordovis) is one of the hardest fights in the area — both have aggressive movesets. Bring physick + summon, don't engage solo.
👑Leyndell, Royal Capital

Access
🚶 From Capital Rampart grace, walk through the gates. Already open.

- ○Fell Twins (Divine Tower of East Altus)post-Morgott
- ○Morgott, the Omen KingGreat Rune #5
🍑 Anti-fumble — the sewers (this is THE one): Sewer entry is from Avenue Balcony grace. Look for a manhole drop — a hole in the ground. You drop into water. It feels wrong. It is correct. Continue down through several drops. Esgar is at the bottom, Mohg the Omen is deeper in a side cathedral.
🍑 Anti-fumble — Divine Tower of East Altus: Only accessible after Morgott. The route is through Forbidden Lands area, then 🛗 elevator up. You'll know — the road opens up after killing him.

- ○Black Blade Kindred (gates the Grand Lift)⚠ tough
🍑 Anti-fumble — Black Blade Kindred: Stationed right at the foot of the Grand Lift. You can run past it to use the lift if you want — the kill isn't required to progress, only required for the 165 count. Worth coming back at higher level. Hits like a truck, has a perilous attack.

- ○Roundtable Knight Vyke (Lord Contender's Evergaol)
- ○Death Rite Bird (Freezing Lake, night)
- ○Commander Niall (Castle Sol)⚠ medallion fight
- ○Fire Giant (Flame Peak)Great Rune
🍑 Anti-fumble — CASTLE SOL IS NOT OPTIONAL: If you skip it, Snowfield, Haligtree, and the easy Mohgwyn route all lock. Niall isn't easy — bring summons, learn his second-phase summons (kill the spectral knights first). The medallion half is on the roof after Niall, not in the boss room.
🍑 Anti-fumble — Spiritcaller Cave (Godskin Duo): This is a side cave on the western Mountaintops. The fight is the same Godskin Duo as Crumbling Farum Azula but with the snail boss summoning them. Sleep arrows trivialize it — Gibs, craft 30+ before going in.
🍑 Anti-fumble — Fire Giant point of no return WARNING: Killing Fire Giant triggers a cutscene that burns the Erdtree and changes the world state. Do NOT kill Fire Giant until Snowfield + Haligtree + Mohgwyn + Underground are all done. After the cutscene some NPC questlines lock.
❄️Consecrated Snowfield

Access — the secret medallion
🗝️ Both Haligtree Medallion halves needed:
• RIGHT half — Liurnia, Village of the Albinaurics. Strike the suspicious pot just past the Perfumer guarding the path; it's actually Albus in disguise.
• LEFT half — Mountaintops, atop Castle Sol after Commander Niall.
With both: 🛗 Grand Lift of Rold → press left/right on D-pad to switch action from "Hoist Medallion" to "Hoist Secret Medallion". Different destination.

🍑 Anti-fumble — the blizzard: The first half of Snowfield is a thick blizzard. You can't see anything. Just ride straight forward on Torrent — about 20 seconds of straight running gets you out of it. Don't try to explore in the storm.
🍑 Anti-fumble — getting to Mohgwyn from here: There's a red portal in a cave on the western cliff (near Yelough Anix Ruins). Stepping in teleports you to Mohgwyn Palace. Skip Varré's whole questline if you take this route.

🍑 Anti-fumble — Lake of Rot pillars: The lake is FULL of scarlet rot. There are three pillars in the rot that, when activated, drain the lake. Find all three (they're on the lake's southwest, west, and northwest). Until then: sprint, immunizing tears, preserving boluses. The shore platforms are checkpoints.
🍑 Anti-fumble — Astel is Ranni-gated: Cannot reach Astel's arena until Ranni's questline progresses to "find the night-fragments." Talk to Ranni at Ranni's Rise (north Liurnia) regularly.

🍑 Anti-fumble — Fia's quest cascade: Fia (the death-bed companion in Roundtable) needs to walk to Deeproot Depths over multiple visits. Talk to her, give her the Weathered Dagger from D's brother quest, sleep with her, return. Eventually she sits at Prince of Death's Throne. Then she gives the Deathbed Dream item — that opens Fortissax.

Pending (1)
- ○Mohg, Lord of BloodGreat Rune #6
🍑 Anti-fumble — Mohg's nihil: Mohg has a 3-hit insta-kill combo that ignores all defense. Two ways around it: (1) the Purifying Crystal Tear from Yura's questline (added to physick — fully blocks nihil), or (2) high HP + Bloodflame buff stacking. Get the tear. The fight is unfair without it.
🍑 Anti-fumble — albinauric rune farm: The riverbed below Mohgwyn entry portal is THE rune farming spot. Sacred Relic Sword AoW + a single sleep arrow into the giant on the cliff = 600k+ runes per minute at high level. Useful before Malenia.

- ○Loretta, Knight of the Haligtree (Canopy)
- ○Malenia, Blade of Miquella🔥 hardest in base game
🍑 Anti-fumble — Ordina puzzle: Four braziers, four invisible enemies. Sentry's Torch (item from a sentinel evergaol earlier) makes them visible. Otherwise: light one brazier, run, light the next, kite them around buildings. Don't try to fight them all at once.
🍑 Anti-fumble — Malenia's WATERFOWL DANCE: Phase 1 attack. She leaps into the air and does a 3-flurry slash. Do not block. Roll backward on the first flurry, then run laterally. Bleed builds her up fast — Gibs has the right build for this. Mimic Tear ash + Black Knife Tiche are the two strongest summons; don't fight her solo if 165 is the goal.
