Found Northeast of Recluses' River Downstream Site of Grace

The Dryleaf Seal is found to the northeast of Recluses's River Downstream site of grace. Turn around and head northeast past the bug enemies until you reach a patch of land with transparent gravestones on it. The sacred seal will be at the platform below that leads to the river downstream.

How to Find the Dryleaf Seal

Note: This short walkthrough is a guide to reaching the Dryleaf Seal starting from the Shadow Keep. If you have already unlocked the Recluses' River Downstream site of grace, skip to step 8.
1
Progress through the Shadow Keep until you reach the area with the burning boats, Shadow Militamen, and a Fire Knight. If you've already opened the door that leads back to the Golden Hippopotamus room, you can fast travel to the Main Gate Plaza site of grace to get here.

Walk southeast and find a corpse on your left next to a ladder.
2
Climb down the ladder and walk along the edge. Be careful not to fall into the water.
3
Pass through the waterfall to find a hidden room with a long ladder. Climb down and enter the room to your left.
4
The wall on your right is actually an illusory wall that you can attack or roll into to reveal a hidden path.
5
Follow the path and interact with the coffin at the end to let it take you to a hidden section of the Shadow Keep. Go outside to find the Castle Watering Hole site of grace.
6
The next step is to ride south and reach the Recluses' River Upstream site of grace. Take note that you will awaken a Furnace Golem halfway through, so be sure to not get caught in its flame spiral attack.
7
Keep heading south, minding the gaps along the cliff, and jump over to the other side when you reach a dead end.
8
Before the Recluses' River Downstream site of grace, turn left past the group of bug enemies.
9
Circle around the area until you reach a small graveyard with stone bird enemies. Walk towards the south edge and look down to find the Dryleaf Seal on a platform with a cross.
