How to Find the Poisoned Hand in Belurat

Obtain the Well Depths Key
1
Reach the Belurat, Tower Settlement northwest of the Gravesite Plain. You can get to that area by following the main road after the Scorched Ruins reaching the Three-Path Cross Site of Grace. Afterwards, follow the path west into the large arch and continue on until you reach the legacy dungeon entrance.
2
You will need the Well Depths Key first. From the dungeon entrance of Belurat, progress the dungeon until you reach the Private Altar Site of Grace. Take note of the location of the well later.
3
From the Private Altar Site of Grace, head up the stairs to the northwest then head into the west past the Horned Warrior.
4
Past the fork with the Horned Warrior, go through the alleyway until you reach a stream. Go down the stream southward then head into the dark room with a ladder on the right.
5
At the top of the ladder, enter the doorway, go around to the left, then jump and traverse the nearby roof ledge going east until you see a small bridge on the side. Jump onto the bridge and enter the room to your right to find the Well Depths Key on a corpse.
Find the Poison Swamp
6
Head back to the Belurat Tower Settlement Site of Grace and head east past the stairs and a fountain. Take the path to the right, climb down the ladder by the well, and use the Well Depths Key to unlock the gate.
7
Progress through the drainage. At the drainage exit overlooking the poison swamp, follow the path on the right side and traverse on dry ground to reduce having to step on the poison pool.
8
Continue following the path, having to eventually cross the pool and go past the underside of a bridge, until you reach a platform with a ladder safe from the swamp.
9
At the platform, face northwest and head to the isle of rubble with a group of Man-Fly. Clear the area of enemies before proceeding to make it easier to cross.
10
At the isle, head to the building on the north. Watch out for the Horned Warrior on the left. You can avoid a fight with it by sticking to the right near the building.
11
Approach and obtain the Poisoned Hand from the corpse sitting in the swamp pool behind the building.
