Siofra River

Down the Mistwood well to the underground river: Hallowhorn Grounds, the cliffs north to Below the Well, Blaidd, and the Ancestor Spirit.

Siofra River suits level 60 to 70 with a weapon at +8 to +12. You lit the Siofra River Well Depths grace on your way through the Mistwood, so fast travel there to begin. Claymen crowd the first ruins: slow on their own, dangerous in a pack.

Light every brazier you pass

The boss at the end of the walk needs all eight braziers lit. Each one is a stone pillar you interact with, and each lights an obelisk by the Hallowhorn Grounds stairs. Most have Ancestral Followers around them, so jumping off Torrent, lighting it and riding away is often the quickest way.

The eight braziers, in the order this walk meets them
BrazierWhere
1Straight east of the Siofra River Bank grace, on the way to the Hallowhorn Grounds stairs.
2West of that grace, up the hill, past two spectral Followers on a cliff.
3On a small island with a ruined archway, in the shallow water northeast of that grace, beyond the big bridge. Archers cover it, so circle wide and come in from behind.
4Close to the rim of the eastern cliff, east of brazier 3, with a crowd of Followers around it.
5A few steps south of the Worshippers' Woods grace.
6A few steps west of the Worshippers' Woods grace.
7On the east side of the road running north from Worshippers' Woods.
8On the cliff west of that road, across from brazier 7, among Followers and rats.

Leave Blaidd's errand for now, and walk the Caelid and Sellia section next. The Redmane Castle section takes the errand up again, because finishing it changes who you can meet in Caelid.

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%.
