Leyndell Catacombs Walkthrough
These catacombs are three loops of very similar paths and enemies, designed to be confusing.
On the first floor right after the Leyndell Catacombs site of grace is a sealed room containing the Esgar, Priest of Blood boss fight. Continuing past the sealed boss room is a coffin in the center of a pool of water. As you continue on there will be a few rooms with enemies and a hall with a flame statue. Jumping onto the flame statue will take you to a balcony with a dead end room containing an Omen and the Crucible Scale Talisman.
Backtrack a bit, then follow the hall that split off just before the flame statue. Up the stairs you'll see a Grave Glovewort (9) and an Omen with a sword. Keep going and you'll end up overlooking a coffin in a pool of water once again. This is the second floor, and the start of the loop.
Jump down and grab the Grave Glovewort (8) on the coffin, being wary of the zombies that will wake up when you do. Run towards where the site of grace would be if this were the first floor, and you'll see an opened set of doors leading to a fake boss room with two Omens and a Grave Glovewort (8) inside.
Head back to the room with the coffin and go up the stairs. As you continue on there will be a few rooms with enemies and a hall with a flame statue, including another Grave Glovewort (8). Jumping onto the flame statue will take you to a balcony connected to a room that resembles the alternate boss rooms in these kinds of dungeons (a chapel). It's not a real boos room, though, so you can safely enter and then turn right to see a hallway and two Imps.
Continue along this path and you will end up overlooking the coffin in a pool of water on the first floor. There will also be a lever here, so pull it to unlock the real boss room's door on the first floor of the Catacombs. Do not jump into the pool if you want all the loot in this dungeon, though, as there is a third floor to explore if you backtrack a bit.
On the second floor, if you climb the stairs that are just before the flame statue, you'll see a third Grave Glovewort (8) before climbing more stairs and running into another Omen. Past that, you'll be overlooking yet another coffin in a pool of water. This is the third floor, so jump down and climb the stairs out of the room, which leave to a Ghost Glovewort (6). Further down the hall you'll pass the fourth Grave Glovewort (8) on the way to where where you'd expect to find a fire statue. That room instead contains just a ">Grave Gravewort (9), but there's also an Omen waiting to ambush you from above. Continuing on, you will come to a window overlooking the set of double stairs on the second floor.
Jump down there, go back up the second floor's flame statue to reach the jump down to the first floor's coffin pool, and then head to the grace to prep for Esgar, Priest of Blood in the now-unlocked boss room.
Those looking for the Haligdrake Talisman +1 will find it up the elevator from the site of grace, on a corpse near a Lesser Spirit-caller Snail in the opposite direction of the dungeon proper. This is the path that leads to the shortcut back to the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds.

When you see the Omen mourning the corpse you assume is the body of the first one you killed.. Oh man, this dungeon was brilliant. Since Demon's Souls reeled me in 13 or so years ago, I've been so grateful for this company making me care for and appreciate video games again the way my old self used to..
Miyazaki-san and FromSoftware, my deepest thanks. Umbasa.

I think it would be worth mentioning you can lure the Omens to the flame statue and watch them get barbecued from safety above! :)
THIS is what a dungeon ought to be. I adore this place, even if the Omens are a tad much at times.

Such a confusing but great dungeon. The way the glovewort serves as a subtle hint that the rooms are looping is great.

Just want to add, there is a snail in the hallway of "infinitely spawning ghosts" that once you kill, kills the ghosts.........

Yo dawg, I heard you like dungeons. So I put a minor dungeon inside of a major dungeon, that which I also put inside of a legacy dungeon!

With Greatshield ashes and Ruins Greatsword, this fight lasted around about 6 seconds. He got absolutely boxed in, he couldn't jump clear. Skellies ignored the dogs completely. Best fight so far.

Hansel and gretal time, drop those rainbow crystals everywhere. Poison darts and holy grease seemed to stun the omens enough to get a few hits in. Glad the ordeal is over.

Just to put it out there, neither of the omen in the false boss room can get through the doors at the top of the stairs, they're only half open. both can be pulled back to the stairs then easily killed without landing a single hit on you. I don't remember what, if anything, was in there to loot, but its well worth killing those two anyway. it allows you to draw the next horned omen you run into back to the empty boss room, but this time kill it from the stairs, again without getting hit yourself and without any interference from the two originally in there, this being possible is something that seems to be different, maybe even unique to the enemies in this catacomb, usually an enemy will only chase you a certain distance, before they slowly make their way back to where they originally were, but a horned omen chased me from where I first attacked it, down the stairs, through a long corridor then past the room with the water and coffin all the way to the false boss room. it did stop once or twice and wasn't being agro, but as soon as I hit it with a poison arrow it would start chasing me again. I'm going to try this with all the horned omen on that level, if it works they'll be much less of a pain in the arse to deal with.

when you look at the 3D map it seems like the catacomb is a lot bigger than you'd think it was from reading the walkthrough. I don't see it mentioned, but anyone reading this page and maybe feeling the dungeon is going to be more trouble than its worth, this catacomb does allow you to fast travel out to any grace you have unlocked on the world map without needing to beat the boss first, so running out of flasks or deciding you just can't be bothered isn't as big a problem here as it would be in the other dungeons where you have to commit by making a one way drop to a lower level, you wont need to spend all your runes to use 'memory of grace'.
- Anonymous
This catacomb is nasty. The horned omen are using some sort of death flame, not just a breath attack like they do in the shunning grounds, they buff their sword with it as well. I've just been killed by one while I was carrying a hundred and forty thousand runes plus change. I don't know where I was when I died so I'm hoping the indicator on the compass that shows where dropped runes can be picked up will help me find my way back, assuming I can get that far without dying again in the first place. I don't know if this is obvious to everyone, but poison darts, poison arrows and volcano pots work a treat on the omen.

would have been a better walkthrough if the locations of the ghost-wart had been included.

Do you need a key from the dung guy at Roundtable Hold to access this area? I tried him with a Deathroot, speaking to him, and he just tells me to go away repeatedly.

I actually thought it was a really neat dungeon. A super tricky touch they put was the extra-horned omen looking at the dead shaved-horn omen we had "supposedly killed" a floor up. That really tickled my brainstem first run

i wish fromsoft made more fun catacombs like this one. Still a fun 20 minutes of my life :)

I realized what was going on immediately, however I'm still lost.
I've reached a point with the window overlooking the statue and I somehow continuously loop the 'same' path.
I don't get it, lmao.

I think there is an issue with the directions. I just ran through it using glowstones to track progress and it is confirmed by the map that we have.
1st floor
- Sealed boss room,
-Progressing along this level normally will lead you to the second floor
-there is a fire statue that will take you to a balcony with 1 omen.
2nd floor
- unsealed copy of the boss room with 2 omen,
-Progressing along this level normally will lead you to the third floor
-there is a fire statue that will take you to a balcony with NO omen and a corridor that leads you to the leaver and back to the 1st floor.
3rd floor
-There is no copy of the boss room
-Progressing along this level will drop you halfway through the 2nd floor
-There is no fire statue
This is also confirmed by the map we have. Notice on the map that the highest level is smaller than the 2 bellow and has no fire statue. This makes the third floor fully optional. I will leave this up for few days to let people test for themselves before changing the wiki.

Either this dungeon was nerfed and shortened or half the people in the comments have zero spatial awareness. This map is wrong, too. This place has a single fire totem and two floors. It has one set of boss doors, no snail caller, and other than two omen all of the other mobs were the spitting zombie and 3 exploding kamikaze zombie.

what ended my first attempt was that there was a corpse of an enemy from a previous floor on one of the lower floors. not sure if intended, but it gave the impression that enemies just respawn in this dungeon for some reason

I actually really liked this dungeon and its probably my favorite. it was 11:30pm and I already had a few drinks, not so much that I was drunk or anything, but that I was vibing. I came across this dungeon and I was soo tripped out until I figured out what was going on

One of the worst dungeons I've ever crawled through. Avoided like plague on consequent NG+ runs.

So I went through the whole thing, used the lever, and then got ambushed by the Omen in the boss room and died, went back and now the door to the boss room is closed and the lever gives me no prompts anymore, just updated the game to 1.06.
This is the catacombs in the non-Ashen Leyndell, so not sure if it's meant to do that or if my **** bugged out. Also there was no boss fog gate, just the lever door which closed on me, but I assume that's meant to be like that since it was just regular Omens.

Top shelf level design. Absolutely hilarious. Loved the detail of the Omen looking at the corpse of another omen at the same point as where you'd fought one on a different loop.
- Anonymous
Its similar layouts, its literally looping. I found the corpse of an Omen I killed right next to a newly spawned one
Trying to make my way through this dungeon while absolutely piss drunk was a truly unique experience. 10/10 would get my mind messed with again.

There is no Ghost Glovewort (9) here, only GRAVE Glovewort (9). How about actually reading the item you collected before writing a guide, eh?
- Anonymous
Please correct the drops for Glovewarts on this page for this Catecomb. Its:
Ghost Glovewort (6) x1
Ghost Glovewort (8) x1
Grave Glovewort (8) x4
Grave Glovewort (9) x2
There is no 9 Ghost GV in this dungeon.

Guys, there is indeed Glovewort (9), except it is Grave, not the Ghost one. On 3D map, it's in the room directly above two flamethrower traps. There is sword fattie ambush in this room so be careful. Also two Grave Glovewort (8)'s on the way.

Hah, this clever little dungeon does a good job of fooling you into thinking you're running the same route over and over while its all just a big spiral with stairs and such at angles that don't make you realize just how high the floor you're on is.

This dungeon really trolled the **** out of me, thought I was losing my mind. Especially at the stairwell where one of the Ogres was checking out his dead buddy, the one I thought I killed. All the grave/ghost gloveworts "suddenly" popping up was the sugar on top.
- Anonymous
The guide is wrong. There is only the original loop, and a clone of the loop with an extra tunnel that leads you back into it. The fastest way to get through this is by going through the original until you drop through to the copy, and then run to the imp statue to ride it up.
- Anonymous
The lever can be reached from the second loop, the third one will have more enemies and gloveworts, but will not have the fire trap (instead there will be an omen waiting to drop on you) and will end with a window from which to drop back into the second loop.

I hear the "snail cry" behind some wall where is the open door of the fake boss room, someone found the snail?

When you are on the 2nd loop, the room with the giant statue has an open window into a room I cannot access. Anyone figure out how to get up there??

I just did it only looping once? I went round once, rode the platform up and bam a hall way on the right leading to the lever

The only other dungeon that made me feel like how this dungeon did, was Ocarina of Time's forest temple. Took me a good hour to figure out what was going on!

To those who get stuck on a "loop": the dungeon has 2 identical parts. From the Lost Grace, do a full loop (untill you jump down from the 2nd floor of the room with a coffin and puking zombies) then go to the fire-breathing pillar, get on it (hit it if it doesn't raise) then look to your right in the next room. That's it.

I think the boss is replaced by 2 Omen if you venture there after killing Mohg. Unless there is another room with the Stake of Marika outside it, there was no boss in this catacombs for me.

One of the best dungeons of the game, very well thought it out
If you were confused as much as I was, here is what you do:
The catacombs are 3 copies of itself. You're going to go through the dungeon and then you're going to find yourself overlooking the same exact room you thought you started in. Its going to look like a tomb in water surrounded by enemies. This actually isn't the start and is the next area. You may find little hints like finding materials like Glovewort where there wasn't any previously. Anyways, keep running through the dungeon and continue the same exact path. Eventually you might end up at a window that leads to the same tomb area. If you made it to the window you went too far. Go back to the statue that shoots fire and ride it upwards. There will be a new path. Follow that path and it will eventually lead you to ANOTHER water tomb area but this time there will be a lever. Yes its annoying and took me too long to figure it out.

Definitely my favorite of the Catacombs so far. I didn't get what was going on at first, but once i realized the gimmick I had a grin on my face the rest of the time. A simple, funny little idea for a Dungeon.

3 pseudoloops, each begins with a drop down to the watery area with zombies. On the third loop (after jumping down a 2nd time) ride up the fire spitting trap column to get to the lever.

the trigger to open the door seems to be defeating one of the ogres, the one in the room with stairs and a giant green statue
A different dungeon did it first and had me fooled. But the glovewort after the first drop immediately spoiled it for me
