Castle Morne Walkthrough and Location

How to Find the Leonine Misbegotten Boss in Castle Morne

1
Use the Castle Morne Lift to reach the main area of Castle Morne.
2
After arriving at the top, run to the southwest end of the main courtyard, past the Misbegotten and the Mad Pumpkin Head.
3
Once you hit the southwest wall, turn right (northwest) and go through the narrow passage to reach a ladder at the end. Deal with the Misbegotten blocking your path before climbing the ladder.
4
At the top, face southeast and cross the battlements until you reach the opposite side from where you started. 4 Misbegotten will stand in your way, so deal with them before proceeding.
5
When you reach the tower with a brazier that has Smoldering Butterflies floating above it, face southwest and drop down the ruined ledge to reach the Behind the Castle site of grace.
6
After unlocking and resting at the site of grace, keep heading southwest, dropping down to the ledges bellow you until you arrive at a long stretch of battlements with Slimes and praying Misbegotten.
7
Once down at the battlements, head northwest until you arrive at a ruined section of the wall. Along this ruined section will be a ledge without any barriers. Drop down here onto the roof below to reach the lower levels of Castle Morne.
8
From the roof, keep following the platforms and ledges you see until you arrive inside a darkened tower infested with Giant Rats. Deal with the creatures before exiting via the southwest door to arrive at the Rampart Gaol.
9
The Leonine Misbegotten boss room can be seen from the rope bridge directly in front of you as you exit the Rampart Gaol. Face south to see it along the waterline.
10
Defeat the Leonine Misbegotten boss to get the Grafted Blade Greatsword.
