Obtain Valkyrie's Prosthesis

Valkyrie's Prosthesis is in a treasure chest in a small room being guarded by a Cleanrot Knight. Go west along the wall until you find the Cleanrot Knight. Defeat it, then head into the room with all the statues to find a treasure chest containing Valkyrie's Prosthesis.

Defeat Elemer of the Briar

Elemer of the Briar has the same moveset as the Bell Bearing Hunter, however Elemer of the Briar hits significantly harder. On top of that, the boss arena is a very small room. The best strategy to defeat this boss is to stay close to him and learn the dodge timings for his melee attacks. If you try to back away to heal, Elemer will use ranged sword attacks to interrupt you.

If you need to heal, wait until after the boss does a shield slam attack to ensure you have enough time to safely heal. This is also a good opportunity to attack if you are at a decent amount of health.
