My Edlen Ring Arcana Run - Part 3 (Site Seeing 1 - Part 2)

Welcome to the first of two site-seeing trips of this run.


Through Liurnia to Altus Plateau

Now to the chill part of our Tour. Upon return to the site of Grace at which Torrent has been bequeathed unto us, head through the gate and follow the road until you reach a shack. Don't forget the Golden Seed along the way. Activate the grace and grab the Stonesword key. Don't mind talking to Roderika. We won't be able to help her before she makes it to the Roundtable hold on her own.
From here move through the arches of the bridge and follow the road to the end of the bridge, along the cliffs up to the site of Grace overlooking Liurnia. Moving up you can get a clear view onto Reya Lucaria.
    There are two ways now. That is ... if you have 1400 runes, you can take the route to the left - past that camp you see to the left here - and find the merchant selling the Lamp; And you can then also pick up the map while you're there.
From here, find to the right the steps of stones that take you to the upper part of Eastern Liurnia. See in the distant the tower connected to a smaller building. Beyond it is our first goal. Another Artist's Shack.
    Tip: To move down the steps, don't jump! Just drop, carefully. Only jump to adjust. Try to aim for the wall when doing so.
    Near the shack You'll find a Knight patrolling. You can use him to practice dodging the Special attack he has. The trick is not to dodge his strike - assuming you're far enough away - but to dodge the lightning that follows on a short delay.
From there move accross the rocky extrusions until you approach a forrest. Near it to the Right you'll find a Grace. To the Left, atop a rock, you'll find a Church with a talking Turtle in it. In the forst keep to its eastern edge until a boulder blocks your path. Move around it - and pass to the right hand of the rocks emerging beyond. Somewhere there you'll find a passage taking you to the Mausoleum grounds.
Here stick to the wall to your right until you find a way to higher grounds. There, beyond the site of Grace, to the West, look for the largest rock sticking out - and maybe enjoy the sight before descending the steps before you.
    Start at the lower one of the two before you. You need to jump accross one gap, a simple jump should do it. The rest should be easy.
At the bottom head straight west and upon touching the road head north until you reach the Church of Bellum
    You need to cross a rock formation to get there
and follow the Light of Grace to the great Elevator of Dectus.
    Stick slightly to the left. Once you got a clear view of the building in the rocks and you don't hear Ballistae shooting at you, find the rocks, practically dead in the middle, to the left side of the barricade. There's a way around its left side, and the jump isn't too difficult. It'll save you a lot of trouble. From there you shouldn't have any troubles reaching the Elevator.


Welcome to Altus Plateau
Right out the Gate: DO NOT just rush out. Jump off to the Left and try to stay as far to the left of the road ahead of you as possible. Eventually you'll approach a fork and find a Grace Nearby it. To the north of it you'll see a Sapling with a Golden Seed - and from there head West. You'll see an incline leading up the other side of the valley. On your way there you'll find a big puddle to your right. You'll there see a big flying scarab. We don't need it - but it holds an Ash of War with Blood Affinity. Maybe you can use it. Beware: There are Crabs hiding!
Up the other side you'll find another Sapling with a Golden Seed and a site of Grace. Return then to the one just prior.

Here, head North, following the road to where the Map for this region is at. From there, just slightly to the west of North, you may spot a Church. Head there. Make sure to go for it after quickly passing through the Church and grabbing the item there. Beyond the Graveyard you'll find a Gust of Wind. As it takes you up, you will see a bridge on the other side of which there is a site of Grace.

Here, equip the Reduvia and make sure you have the Wolves equipped also. Soon we'll move through a Fog Wall. While stepping through it, you can push down to select the Wolves - unless you prefer them in your quick slots. When in the room, immediately summon the wolves; If you do it as me hold down to return to your red potion; Lock on and prepare to move to the left. You may have to dodge the boss here a little until the wolves get a good surround on him. When they do, use the Reduvia's Weapon Skill to drain their Healthbar. Refill your mana once you run out. Be careful: The Boss has a parry - so, attacking him directly can be risky. Also, be careful of his vomit. He's also not particularly impressed by the Wolves. If he stares at you, try to walk back. The wolves keep him staggered; And Reduvia's Weapon Skill also keeps him locked down.
Once successfully dealt with, we get our second Primary Weapon of the Run.

But how to get there? Well. Open the Map. ALong the road you'll see some ruins. The stairs we seek are in the lower right building. If you follow the road and approach the ruins once you get there, you'll see a vastly open building with arches. That's the one.

With those runes, try to first get your Arcane Stat up to where you can use it - and once there, the next goal is to get Vigor up to 22.
But first we need to get to a site of grace. To get to one, open the map and locate the bridge just north. Underneath it, on the left (north) it is. To the right (south) is a Gust of Wind that can take you up to the Bridge. Here you'll find Golden Mask. Further North you'll find a Windmill and another twinblade laying in some ... uh ... Fire. Goin East from there will take you to Windmill Village. You should take the site of Grace there - as approaching Leyndell ... you'll have to dodge some catapult shots fired at you. The trick is to understand that they'll fire 'ahead' of you. So, when you see, or hear, a shot going off, simply changing the direction is almost guaranteed to work out every time.


Behind the walls check the grace up ahead, but stick to the wall when heading South - unless you want to fight Margit/Morgott whatever. Not a proper boss - but, close enough to give you some practice with his moves. Anyway - to the south you'll find a sapling with two Golden Seeds. From there, you should head further down while however not using the stairs themselves. Stick to the side of the building. Down there, you'll find another site of Grace, two more Golden Seeds and the Map. And ... that concludes this part of our adventure.


Next Time on ... [what are we doing?]

We'll take a tour around Liurnia, get some upgrade Materials for our weapons and get into some actual Boss Fights.
