You can find the Briars of Punishment Incantation here on a tree. A Golem Archer will be firing arrows at you as you cross the bridge, so be careful not to get knocked off! There's a Lost Ashes of War on the bridge that you can grab. Past the Golem, head straight to find the Ancient Snow Valley Ruins Site of Grace. Millicent is here if you have progressed her questline. |
| 4 |  From the Ancient Snow Valley Ruins Site of Grace, go north and then east when you reach the frozen river. You will eventually arrive at the Freezing Lake Site of Grace, where there is an Invisible Scarab can be found east of it, on the lake's edge. Defeating it will net you the Seppuku Ash of War. Visibility is low when you start to cross the Freezing Lake, but you will eventually encounter Borealis, the Freezing Fog as you near the middle. They'll drop a Dragon Heart upon defeat. ▶ How to Beat Borealis the Freezing Fog |
| 5 |  South from Borealis' location is the First Church of Marika where you can find a Site of Grace, the Somberstone Miner's Bell Bearing 3, 3 Smithing Stone 7, and a Sacred Tear to upgrade your Flask. |
| 6 |  Head west and you will eventually arrive at the Guardian's Garrison, which guards the chain bridge leading forward. In the Guardian's Garrison you can find 6 Smoldering Butterflies, a Golden Rune 10, a Smithing Stone 7, a Stonesword Key, and the Giant's Prayerbook. You will also find Chief Guardian Arghanthy here, who drops the One-Eyed Shield on defeat. In the small encampment south of the Garrison, you can find a Scarab hanging from a tree. Defeating it will give you the Prelate's Charge Ash of War. |
| 8 |  Cross the chain bridge south of the Guardian's Garrison and you will arrive at the Giants' Gravepost Site of Grace. You can pick up the Mountaintops of the Giants East Map Fragment nearby. |
| 9 |  Continue south until you reach another chain bridge and the Foot of the Forge Site of Grace. Crossing the bridge will take you to the fight with the Fire Giant. ▶ How to Beat Fire Giant |
| 10 |  After defeating the Fire Giant, head northeast towards the Forge of the Giants and circle around the rim until you reach the Forge of Giants Site of Grace. Resting here will give you the option to talk to Melina. Talk to her to proceed to the next area. |
