Fog Rift Catacombs Walkthrough

Fog Rift Catacombs is located west of the Church of Crusade and north of Fog Rift Fort. The entrance of the catacombs leads to an elevator that goes down. You'll immediately find the Fog Rift Catacombs Site of Grace and a tunnel path straight ahead. Head through the tunnel entrance and prepare yourself for an Imp that will ambush you. At the upper right side of the room is a corpse holding a Grave Glovewort [1].

After retrieving that item, turn left through another tunnel entrance which leads to a large open room. Upon exiting the tunnel, immediately turn left towards a safe spot because half of the room is rigged with a spike trap that descends from above. Wait for it to come down, and once it goes up, immediately run to the other side where a Lion Head Goblin is waiting for you. Take out the Goblin and head straight to the next tunnel entrance leading to a large hallway. Turn right and head straight towards the stairs going down, but before heading down, pick up the Yellow Fulgurbloom to your left.

After collecting the plant, head down the stairs and turn right into another tunnel in the catacombs. You'll see a corpse that gives you the Ancient Dragon Knight's Cookbook [1] along with a Yellow Fulgurbloom plant. Head back to where you turned right earlier, and this time, turn left down another set of stairs. This will lead you to what looks like a dead-end ledge, but wait a few seconds for the spike trap from earlier to fall down. Once it falls, hop on top of it, and it will lead you to a secret platform with a Lion Head Goblin, a corpse that gives you x3 Knot Resin, and a Yellow Fulgurbloom plant.

After looting the platform, hop on the spike trap again, but don't go back yet. Instead, wait for the spike trap to take you back up again, and this time, look for a tunnel entrance to the left that you can drop onto. Once you enter the tunnel and the room, turn left again until you cross a bridge and a set of stairs going up. Here, you'll encounter Messmer Soldiers guarding a room. Head inside the room after defeating the Messmer Soldiers, and you'll face a Black Knight. Defeat the Black Knight, then pick up the Great Ghost Glovewort. Go outside the room, then turn left to jump on top of a spiked platform, then go through a hallway. Follow the pathway and you will find the Black Knight Commander Andreas summon at the end.

Make your way back to where you first saw the spike area from a ledge. Instead of hopping back on, wait for it to drop and go up. Then immediately drop down and enter the tunnel entrance behind you. The small room here contains a Yellow Fulgurbloom. Inside the room on the left side is a ladder going up. Head up the ladder and follow the tunnel path with three Yellow Fulgurblooms.

After looting the plants, walk to the right and drop down to the area from earlier where you saw the spike trap. Drop down again and stand at the tunnel entrance behind you from earlier. Wait for the spike trap to drop, then immediately run to the other side where a set of stairs goes down. Here, you'll find a corpse that gives you x2 Dragonbolt Grease.

Head down the stairs to find another elevator that goes further down. Upon reaching the ground, head straight towards a room with two Lion Head Goblins and loot the corpse and plant under the stairs to get x4 Rada Fruit and a Yellow Fulgurbloom. From under the stairs, head straight towards the tunnel entrance on the other side of the room, but loot two more Yellow Fulgurblooms to the left.

Inside the small room, clear out the two enemies and loot the corpse on the upper right for a Grave Glovewort [2]. After looting the corpse, head out of the room and turn right towards another tunnel entrance with stairs going further down. This leads to an open hallway with spike traps covering half of the hallway. Just as before, run to the left towards a safe space, kill the imp waiting for you there, and wait for the spike trap to drop. Once it drops, hug the wall and run straight until you see a hole to the left where you can drop down into what appears to be a sewage area. Once you land in the sewage, head straight for the tunnel entrance ahead and loot the corpse for a Ghost Glovewort [4].

On the left side of the first sewage room is an entrance to another room. Enter and turn left towards another room containing five Yellow Fulgurblooms and a corpse that drops an Electrocharge. Exit that room, turn left towards a ladder going up. Climb the ladder and drop down from the platform to find yourself near the hallway spike trap from earlier. Wait for the spike trap to drop, and once it does, run towards the other end of the hallway. Get to the second safe spot to the left, past the hole you dropped into earlier, and loot the corpse there to get a Glass Shard. Wait for the spike trap to drop again, then run towards the stairs leading to a casket above that you can loot for a Shadow Realm Rune [3].

Once you're done looting, stay on the ledge of the platform you're standing on in front. Wait for the spike trap to drop, and you'll see a small square space on the side of the spike trap that you can hop onto. Hop onto the square platform and let the spike trap raise you to a secret platform above with a chest containing the Ash of War: Blinkbolt. After looting, hop on top of the spike trap again and run to the other side until you see a small platform to the right to drop onto. You'll see an altar that changes the Stone-Sheathed Sword to the Sword of Darkness.

To the left is a ladder going down. This ladder leads to a secret room with a corpse that gives you a Ghost Glovewort [5]. Loot it, then immediately look to the left to see another hole to drop into. This hole will drop you back to a safe spot from the hallway spike trap from earlier. Wait for the spike trap to drop, and once it does, run to the other side this time instead of the platform from earlier. Be careful in the safe area here as it connects to another spike trap area.

Wait for the spike trap on the other side to drop, then cross towards a tunnel entrance. Loot the corpse in the middle first for a Broken Rune. Head through the tunnel entrance to find another elevator that goes down. Drop here and head straight until you reach the yellow mist that leads to the Death Knight boss.
