Forbidden Lands and West Mountaintops

Out of the capital's east door to the Divine Tower, along the Forbidden Lands road and up the great lift, then through Zamor Ruins and over the long bridge to the Snow Valley, the Shack of the Lofty and Stargazers' Ruins.

The Forbidden Lands and the Mountaintops suit level 100 to 120, with a standard weapon at +20 to +24 or a somber one at +8 or +9. The road out of the capital's east side opens once Morgott is dead, and the great lift at its end takes the Rold Medallion Melina handed you.

Go through, up the steps past the mob on the ash, and take the wooden lift behind a door on the left. Leave the top of that tower by the southeast way out, not the second lift: when you walk up to the lone soldier on the path, or turn back on the bridge, the world goes dark and they appear.

Summary
A pair of giants, sword and axe, in a sudden dark. Spirit Ashes work here.

Nothing to do up here yet

This tower restores Morgott's Great Rune and Mohg's. The route comes back once with both, at the end of the Miquella's Haligtree and Elphael section, so just light the grace now.

Yura's last chance

Yura moves on for good when you walk into the hall ahead. Before you go in, check two sections. In Academy of Raya Lucaria: Yura: Ravenmount Assassin sign, then Bloody Finger Ravenmount Assassin and his prize, Ash of War: Raptor of the Mists. In West Altus Plateau: Yura: Second Church of Marika. If any is unticked, go and do it now.

Before you use Juno Hoslow's sign

Killing him is the last of Tanith's contracts. Her talk about Rya ends with it, so if Tanith: Tonic of Forgetfulness in the Volcano Manor section is unticked, go and do it first. And keep Rykard alive until this sign is done: this route fights him in the Rykard and West Altus Tower section, after the mountain.

Don't attack the jellyfish in the ruins

The Spirit Jellyfish in the main building of Stargazers' Ruins doesn't come back if she dies. That locks Gesture: Fancy Spin, and the sealed door to the Primal Glintstone Blade opens only when she meets her sister.

About this guide

Expect about 230 hours over three runs, in a game where bosses take practice. This route uses no save backups. Run 1 collects everything in the base game and Shadow of the Erdtree, and takes about 170 of those hours. NG+ (about 40) and NG++ (about 20) are shorter runs for the other two endings and the other quest branches, with tougher enemies and some bosses to beat again for remembrance trades. Random drops and free-choice NPC kills never count toward 100%.
