Elden Ring: Tombsward Catacombs Dungeon Guide
You can find the Tombsward Catacombs Dungeon in the Weeping Peninsula Region, close to the Limgrave Region. You can also see the Tombsward Catacombs Dungeon on the map below.
If you are close to the church of Pilgrimage, all you have to do is move forward to the mini-dungeon location marked in a small red circle in the image above. Once you are almost there, you will find an arch beam concealing an entrance to the Tombsward Catacombs behind itself.
Once you enter the dungeon, you will see an Imp Seal Statue, which will unlock the room behind it if you use the Stonesword Key. The room has two skeletons and the remains of someone, which you can loot for Nomadic Warrior’s Cookbook.
Tip: Once you defeat a skeleton, it will have a blue glow. You can use any attack on it to stop the skeleton from reanimating. Alternatively, you can use weapons with holy damage on the skeleton
You can make your way to the main route, collecting Ghost Glovewort and fighting skeletons. You will come across this fire trap, which must be disabled by hitting it with a ranged weapon, or you can hit it with your melee weapon once you are close to it. On the left of the fire trap is a room with four skeletons and has Grave Glovewort, Grave Violet, and Prattling Pate’s “Thank You.” Once looted, head to the fire trap and jump on it after you have disabled it to be able to use it as a lift.
You can loot the nearby corpse for Golden Runes. Continue to a couple more tunnels, and remember to pick up Grave Glovewort and Grave Violet as you go. You’ll have to pull the lever, which will open a heavy door behind, which will be the entrance to the boss fight.
You’ll encounter the shadowy creature known as the Cemetery Shade, which serves as the boss you need to defeat. This boss deals a lot of damage because of its swift dual blade. It can also use its slime attack to stop you from moving. It can also teleport, so it might become hard to dodge its attack. Once you defeat the Cemetary Shade, you will be rewarded with Lhutel the Headless.
