Scorpion River Catacombs Dungeon Guide
| 1 |  Start from the Moorth Ruins site of grace and enter the cave near the triangular pond to the north. Exit on the other side and pass through the grove that curves west to reach the Ancient Ruins Base site of grace. Travel southwest to the Temple Town Ruins and go through the ravine to the north until you reach the Scorpion River Catacombs at the end. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  Take the lift down and activate the dungeon's site of grace. Move two rooms ahead into a large one with basilisk eyes up ahead (watch out for the Deathblight buildup from the eyes). Run across to the other side and to the next room. |
| 3 |  Go down the stairs on your left or simply drop down then pass through the northeast path. |
| 4 |  Get across the room, minding the Bigmouth Imp that might blast you as you walk by, and turn right at the fork. |
| 5 |  This large room has a spike trap that drops from the ceiling. Bait it into dropping down then move to the alcove on the right as it ascends. After it drops down the second time, quickly run south to the safe space. |
| 6 |  Immediately turn right and climb the ladder. Take note that this area has another spike trap, so you can either run fast to the ladder or wait for the trap to ascend before moving on. |
| 7 |  You have to move quick in this floor as well since there's another pair of basilisk eyes up ahead. Cross the bridge to your right and into the room to the south to find a lift that will take you to the first checkpoint (a statue of Marika). |
| 8 |  Move forward, but before you turn right at the tunnel, wait for the moving basilisk eyes to pass by. Once it turns around and travels back to its statue, run along with the eyes (while staying behind them) and turn right at the end. There will be more stone imps in the next room, including a giant Bigmouth Imp. |
| 9 |  In the next room, you might want to take out the mage enemy on the floor above using ranged attacks as it can summon ricocheting projectiles where you stand. Once it's clear, enter the tunnel to your right. |
| 10 |  Wait for the basilisk eyes to pass by and move northeast before going up the stairs and following it. Turn right at the statue and take the lift down to find the Death Knight boss room. Defeat this boss to obtain the Death Knight's Longhaft Axe. |
