| 1 |  Reach the Church District Entrance by starting from the Moorth Ruins and making your way to the east of Scadu Altus past Bonny Village and going around until you reach the Church District Highroad. ⓘ The Church District Highroad Site of Grace may already be active if you've been following Ymir's questline. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  From the Church District Entrance, jump down the roof below you then go to the other side. You'll need to jump again to the next rooftop, but you'll have to be careful as you might fall into the water at the center. Afterwards, go up the broken wall to your right to reach the ledge above. |
| 3 |  Run towards the edge of this ledge to easily reach the next rooftop, then run to the left until you see another roof. |
| 4 |  Jump down the roof below, onto the buttress on your left, and up to the next roof to find a large hole. |
| 5 |  Drop down onto the beams below and down again on the floor below with the chandeliers. |
| 6 |  Follow the hallway to the west until you see a doorway with a bridge on your left. Go to the end of this bridge to find a lift that will take you several floors above. |
| 7 |  Turn left, run past the Site of Grace, and climb the first ladder that you will see. |
| 8 |  Turn right and go up the stairs to the upper floor. A large hole can be found on the northeast wall of this room that will take you outside the keep. Follow the path south to re-enter the keep and find a Site of Grace. |
| 9 |  Take the small lift up and look to the west where you will spot a ladder. Head for this ladder and climb up. |
| 10 |  Walk west again and drop down the cog so you can safely land on the small room below. |
| 11 |  Go back outside and take the small lift down to another wooden path. You will find a slightly larger lift on other end of this path which will take you to a Site of Grace. |
| 12 |  Past the site of grace is the Shadow Keep's back gate that will lead you to Commander Gaius' boss arena. |
| 13 |  Defeat Commander Gaius to obtain the Remembrance of the Wild Boar Rider. Trade the Remembrance with Enia to obtain the Sword Lance. |
