Enter the room, and you will encounter four Man-Flies in this area. After clearing the area, you can find a Scadutree Fragment in the other room on the east, and the Dried Bouquet talisman inside a small room when you head out.

You can also get to the secret room by jumping down from the area with Shadow Undead praying to a tree. In this area, you will find broken railings by the stairs going up. Below it, you will see the pile of rubble which is beside the doorway to the secret room.

If you then defeat Bayle The Dread after this, you will receive the Ancient Dragon Florissax from her when you return to the grand altar.

Defeating Furnace Golems in Elden Ring

Furnace Golems are large titans that can be found roaming around the Land of Shadow. These elite enemies drop Crystal Tears and a Furnace Visage when they are slain. Furnace Golems might seem pretty intimidating at first due to their enormous size, appearance, and attacks. However, you can easily deal with these Furnace Golems as they can easily be defeated when you have enough information about them. Up-close, Furnace Golems will use their feet to stomp on the ground to either hit the player or create flaming explosions that have a huge AoE. You can dodge these attacks by jumping, which can be made easier by using Torrent to double jump.

While evading the attacks of the Furnace Golem, you can attack one foot of it until it breaks its stance. After the Furnace Golem breaks its stance, you may attack the other foot until its stance breaks again. Do it again on the other foot for a third time, which will then cause the Furnace Golem to topple over. After the Furnace Golem topples over, attack its head to do a critical strike. Rinse and repeat until the Furnace Golem is dead. However, for Furnace Golems with armored legs, you cannot use this method on them. For these armored Furnace Golems, you may use the high ground to your advantage.

Find high ground in which you may be able to reach the Furnace Golem's head, then you have to throw a Hefty Furnace Pot or a Hefty Fire Pot on the opening of their head to deal massive amounts of damage on them. To craft these items, you will need to find the Greater Potentate Cookbook (1) for the Hefty Fire Pot, and the Greater Potentate Cookbook (2) for the Hefty Furnace Pot.

Defeating Golem Smiths in Elden Ring

Golem Smiths are enemies that are resistant to attacks that do not hit their weak spot. Their weak spot is an embedded red gem on their back. If the Golem Smith is located in a tight space, bait it out first to an area in which you can freely move. You can easily get behind a Golem Smith's back as all of their attacks are slow enough for you to be able to strafe to their back. You may then hit the Golem Smith's back, and you can do a backstab which deals massive damage due to their back being the weak spot.

Illusory Walls (Hidden Walls): The game features multiple Illusory Walls that players can hit to reveal. These are often found within catacombs, but can also be in tunnels and caves. Pay close attention to your surroundings.

Illusory Walls are the Hidden Walls of Elden Ring that must be struck to reveal a hidden path beyond. These walls are not immediately obvious, but if you find yourself stuck in a location without a way to progress, it is very likely that you have to hit a nearby wall. This page features all hidden walls in Elden Ring.

• The Law of Regression, Margit's Shackle, and Mohg's Shackle reveal illusory walls when used.

Paintings in Elden Ring are Info Items scattered all around The Lands Between that act as a form of treasure hunt.
