Caelid suits level 60 to 70, with a normal weapon at +10 or better and a somber one at +4 or better. The west is fair at that level, and the east around Sellia is much harder. Pack Preserving Boluses for the scarlet rot and keep out of the deep pools. Bring three Stonesword Keys: the Forsaken Ruins take one and Gaol Cave two, and this section hands three back.
The ladder in the watchtower climbs to a waygate that drops you outside Redmane Castle, and you are not going there yet. The road gets you there at the end of this section.
This route reaches the altar with four Dragon Hearts: Agheel's, Smarag's, the Gael Tunnel Wyrm's and Ekzykes's. Spend them on the four one-Heart spells listed here. The altar's other spells wait for the Dragonbarrow section, when more Hearts are in hand. If the altar won't respond, rest at the grace, pass some time and try again without fighting the knight at the entrance.
A woman named Millicent can invade you in the swamp. Beating her does her later quest no harm. Pull her onto dry ground rather than fight in the rot.
A Giant Dog sits beside the path to Gowry's shack. Kill it first, or walk around without waking it. If it chases you to the door it can kill him.
Sellia's seals break when you light the braziers on its three towers. The ghostly sorcerers in town stay unseen until you are close, so call a Spirit Ash: it finds them for you. The way onto the roofs starts halfway up the great staircase in the northeast of town, where a big root reaches across to a building on the right. From that roof take another root west, jump south to the corner of the next roof, drop southwest to a low roof, climb the root around its west side, and jump south onto a branch of the gigantic root. Torrent's double jump clears every gap.
First brazier: follow the gigantic root east onto a building, jump south over a smaller root to a long roof, and walk it west to a ladder up the southwest tower. Second brazier: cross back along the long roof, climb the gigantic root and follow it northeast to the next tower. Third brazier: the second one opens the barrier at the top of the great staircase, where a Phantom Tree stands. From the tree's southwest edge drop to the root below, follow it, step off the mutated growth onto the building on your right, and climb the ladder.
Never attack her here. Her quest runs on through the rest of the guide, and an early death ruins it.
Past the grace, two more illusory walls bar the tunnel: roll through them. They open on a cavern of huge purple crystals, which you cross on the crystals themselves before dropping into the pit at the far end. Northwest of the pit floor two small steps lead to a passage: walk along the crystal at its end, drop past the snails, turn left past two sorcerer miners, and take the corridor on the right with a Stake of Marika in it. It opens on a second, bigger crystal cavern.
That leaves only Redmane Castle in the south of Caelid, and its section starts with Blaidd's errand, which brings the festival. Dragonbarrow, north of the canyon, is much stronger and can wait for its own section.
