Murkwater Catacombs Walkthrough

1 Elden Ring - Murkwater Catacombs 1
Activate the site of grace inside the catacomb and make your way down the stairs where you will find a corridor with a straight path leading to a room with a statue and a right path which leads to the boss room. There are also imps at the ceiling that are waiting for an ambush.
2 Elden Ring - Murkwater Catacombs 2
At the end of the hallway is a statue with a lever you can interact that opens the boss room with imps waiting for you inside. Be careful as there is a pressure plate at the end of the hallway which activates a trap that shoots flaming arrows when activated.
3 Elden Ring - Murkwater Catacombs 3
Once you're done with the lever, turn around and go back and take the other path. There is another pressure plate that activates the same trap at the end. Carefully move around it, and head inside the room where you will be greeted by another set of imps.
4 Elden Ring - Murkwater Catacombs 3
Take the stairs down, and once you cross the fog wall, you will encounter the Grave Warden Duelist, which drops the Battle Hammer and Banished Knight Engvall's Ashes on defeat.

How to Beat Grave Warden Duelist: Boss Fight Guide

Take it Slow

Be sure to take one set of imps at a time to avoid getting outnumbered, as getting hit consecutively by the imps will build up your hemorrhage and lets you take a large amount of damage relative to your Max HP.
