From the Dragon's Pit grace through the pit to the Grand Altar, then Charo's Hidden Grave and Lamenter's Gaol.
This section starts at the Dragon's Pit grace, down the torch-lit cave off the road south of Pillar Path Waypoint on the Gravesite Plain, and ends under Charo's Hidden Grave, at the bottom of Lamenter's Gaol. Map: Southern Shore, from the Cerulean Coast, shows all of it. Everything here is high level.
Magma Wyrm (Dragon's Pit)BossDLC: Shadow Of The Erdtree
Location
Gravesite Plain · Dragon's Pit – Follow the tunnel on from the Dragon's Pit grace into the ritual room of skeletons, along the ledge at the cliff and down past the altar on the platform below. The tunnel forks at the next big room: climb its staircase to the dead-end chamber on the right, where the wyrm waits.
Gravesite Plain · Dragon's Pit – A drop of about 4% from the Skeletal Beastmen carrying one in this cave, and from those at the Foot of the Jagged Peak.
Summary
A random drop, so don't stop for it unless you want it.
Ancient Dragon-Man (Dragon's Pit)BossDLC: Shadow Of The Erdtree
Location
Gravesite Plain · Dragon's Pit – From the wyrm's staircase go down and through the next tight stretch into a wider part with small structures and torches. Walk straight on and jump off the cliff: the fall is long but safe. You land by the yellow mist.
Grace: Dragon's Pit TerminusAreaDLC: Shadow Of The Erdtree
Location
Foot of the Jagged Peak · Dragon's Pit – Open the large double doors on the far side of the Ancient Dragon-Man's arena. The grace is in the tunnel beyond, and it lights when you reach it.
Jagged Peak Drake (lake bed)BossDLC: Shadow Of The Erdtree
Location
Foot of the Jagged Peak · Lake bed – From Dragon's Pit Terminus follow the tunnel out east-southeast and carry on southeast up the path, to a ledge above a nearly dry lake bed. The drake sleeps in the middle of it, with a summoning pool close by.
Summary
Field boss. Besides the Dragon Heart it drops Dragonscale Flesh.
Igon's Cookbook [1]Key itemDLC: Shadow Of The Erdtree
Location
Foot of the Jagged Peak · Grand Altar of Dragon Communion – Leave the lake bed by the small canyon on its south side, past the row of dragon statues; the big lightning sheep stay calm unless you hit one. Where the canyon opens onto the huge dead red dragon, step into the little ruined tower: the corpse is inside.
Grace: Grand Altar of Dragon CommunionAreaDLC: Shadow Of The Erdtree
Location
Foot of the Jagged Peak · Grand Altar of Dragon Communion – From the lake bed take the south canyon to the great dead dragon. The grace is on the left of the giant stone bowl of red smoke. Time can't be passed here: when a step needs another hour, use a different grace and travel back.
Bayle, at the top of the Jagged Peak, ends Igon's line and fixes the Priestess's branch for this run when he dies. The end of the Scaduview, Hinterland and Jagged Peak section walks every step in order: meet the Priestess, take her Ancient Dragon's Blessing, give her Thiollier's Concoction at night, speak to her once she wakes, take Igon's Furled Finger and summon him. Miss those and you lose Ash of War: Igon's Drake Hunt, Dragonbolt of Florissax and Ancient Dragon Florissax until a later run. Carry the Concoction with you and don't drink it.
Meet the Dragon Communion PriestessHidden spoiler – activate to revealQuest stepMissablePoint of no returnDLC: Shadow Of The ErdtreeMinor spoiler
Location
Foot of the Jagged Peak · Grand Altar of Dragon Communion – She stands by the altar next to the Grand Altar grace and doesn't move. Agree to devour draconic essence, then talk until her lines repeat.
Why you can lose it
Killing Bayle fixes the Priestess's branch for this run. If she hasn't taken the Concoction and woken by then, Dragonbolt of Florissax and Ancient Dragon Florissax are gone until a later run.
Point of no return
Bayle the Dread dies: Igon's line ends and the Priestess's branch is fixed for this run.
Ancient Dragon's BlessingHidden spoiler – activate to revealConsumableMissablePoint of no returnDLC: Shadow Of The ErdtreeMinor spoiler
Location
Foot of the Jagged Peak · Grand Altar of Dragon Communion – The Priestess hands it over when you agree to the essence. She gives another once you've used it, for as long as the offer lasts.
Why you can lose it
She stops giving it once she has taken Thiollier's Concoction, and it also ends when Bayle dies. Take it before the Concoction.
Foot of the Jagged Peak · Grand Altar of Dragon Communion – Use the altar itself, beside the Grand Altar grace, and trade three Dragon Hearts. You don't need to have killed any particular dragon, only to hold the hearts. If you are short, it waits for your next trip here.
Charo's Hidden Grave lies below the Altar and can only be entered from up here: the Cerulean Coast underneath has no way in. The Golem at its far end needs three Hefty Furnace Pots or Hefty Fire Pots, so craft them first: Greater Potentate's Cookbooks [2] and [1] teach them. A Furnace Pot takes a Hefty Cracked Pot, a Furnace Visage, and two each of Ember of Messmer and Redflesh Mushroom; a Fire Pot takes the Cracked Pot, three Redflesh Mushrooms and two Black Pyreflies. The Ruins of Unte golems want the same pots later.
Grave Keeper's Cookbook [2]Key itemDLC: Shadow Of The Erdtree
Location
Charo's Hidden Grave · Red river – From the Grand Altar go right, southwest, up and over the low part of the dead dragon's wing, and drop to the red flowers. You land by a shallow river: the corpse is at its lowest end, tucked behind a big rock.
Tibia Mariner (Charo's Hidden Grave)BossDLC: Shadow Of The Erdtree
Location
Charo's Hidden Grave · Red river – From the bottom of the red river, walk up to the next rise. The boat soon blinks further upriver and calls a Royal Revenant: kill that first, then chase the Mariner.
Grace: Charo's Hidden GraveAreaDLC: Shadow Of The Erdtree
Location
Charo's Hidden Grave · Red river – At the top of the red river there's a pond with skeletons in it. Climb the hill on its left: the grace waits just short of the stone arch.
Rings of Spectral LightSpellDLC: Shadow Of The Erdtree
Location
Charo's Hidden Grave · Gravebird altar – From the Charo's Hidden Grave grace go back to the pond and up the far hill, jumping the rocks on Torrent, to a patch of graves. Head down the west side to the large Gravebird altar. Five Gravebirds guard it and all wake when you step up, so pick them off from range first; the spell is on the corpse at the altar.
Death Rite Bird (Charo's Hidden Grave)BossDLC: Shadow Of The Erdtree
Location
Charo's Hidden Grave · Grave lake – Fast travel to the Charo's Hidden Grave grace and go northwest through the arch to the lake of graves. Clear the Gravebirds on the shore, then walk to the middle: it appears there by day as well as by night.
Charo's Hidden Grave · Grave lake – From the middle of the grave lake keep right, all the way to the east shore; ignore the path north for now. Under the cliff overhang a ramp lined with stone Gravebirds climbs away, and the glaive lies on a grave at its end.

Lesser Golden Hippopotamus (Charo's Hidden Grave)OtherDLC: Shadow Of The Erdtree
Location
Charo's Hidden Grave · Hippopotamus pool – On the far side of the grave lake, climb the hill behind the biggest Miranda Flower and make a short jump into a pool. It has no map marker. It fights like a smaller version of the Shadow Keep's beast.
Gravebird AshesCollectibleDLC: Shadow Of The Erdtree
Location
Charo's Hidden Grave · Golem cliff – From the Hippopotamus pool leap off northwest and walk up the ponds and streams past the Gravebirds. Run by the Furnace Golem to the cliffs on the west, and ride the Spiritspring there. You land among gravestones with the ashes right in front of you.
Furnace Golem (Charo's Hidden Grave)BossDLC: Shadow Of The Erdtree
Location
Charo's Hidden Grave · Golem cliff – Its legs are armored, so only the brazier on top can be hurt. Stay on the Spiritspring cliff west of the ponds and throw three Hefty Furnace Pots or Hefty Fire Pots into the brazier when it stands below you; if it wanders off, reload to bring it back. It doesn't respawn.
Grace: Lamenter's GaolAreaDLC: Shadow Of The Erdtree
Location
Charo's Hidden Grave · Lamenter's Gaol – From the Golem's cliff go back down the hill to the stream and follow it north under the landmass, keeping to the right wall. It ends at a cave of cages behind a big portcullis, and the grace is just inside.
Gaol Upper Level KeyKey itemDLC: Shadow Of The Erdtree
Location
Charo's Hidden Grave · Lamenter's Gaol – From the Lamenter's Gaol grace follow the cave to a fork. The right-hand door is locked, so go left along the cells, where shades lie in wait. The chest stands in the second cell.
Prattling Pate "Lamentation"ItemDLC: Shadow Of The Erdtree
Location
Charo's Hidden Grave · Lamenter's Gaol – Go on from the key's cell over the narrow bridge, watching for the Jar Condemned that charges you, into the room of cages. The corpse is in the small room just past it; it may instead lie beside the middle cage.
Chilling Perfume BottleWeaponDLC: Shadow Of The Erdtree
Location
Charo's Hidden Grave · Lamenter's Gaol – Go back to the fork and open the right-hand door with the Upper Level Key. Climb down the ladder into the big icy room: a Jar Condemned rushes out of the cell on your right, and the bottle is in that cell.
Clarifying Horn Charm +2CollectibleDLC: Shadow Of The Erdtree
Location
Charo's Hidden Grave · Lamenter's Gaol – Leave that cell and turn right, away from where you came in: drop down the hole. Follow the cave past the rats to a larger room and take the left path to its dead end. The corpse lies by a sewer grate, with a big rat beside it.
Gaol Lower Level KeyKey itemDLC: Shadow Of The Erdtree
Location
Charo's Hidden Grave · Lamenter's Gaol – From the rat room take the right path up the ladder to the icy room, and climb the cliff on its east side. The floor of the room beyond gives way and drops you to the bottom level. Leave the cell, go up the stairs, through the next cell door and over a small gap into the Jar Room: the key is in a chest.
Charo's Hidden Grave · Lamenter's Gaol – Go back over the gap and down the stairs to the side passage toward a cell, which ends in a false wall: roll into it. If a locked gate stands behind the wall, the Lower Level Key opens it, and the torch is on one of two bodies in the room.
Charo's Hidden Grave · Lamenter's Gaol – From the Jar Room stairs keep climbing and pass the door at the top, where a Jar Condemned jumps you from the left, then follow the path and drop into a room with two jars hiding enemies. The Lower Level Key opens its door, and a ladder leads down to the fog. Summons are allowed.
That finishes Charo's Hidden Grave. The Jagged Peak, Igon and the Priestess's later steps wait for the end of the Scaduview, Hinterland and Jagged Peak section, which starts from the Storehouse, Loft grace in the Shadow Keep.
