Take the path north of Moorth Ruins in Scadu Altus to enter the ravine in between, in order to reach the Scorpion River Catacombs. Just north of the Church of the Bud, Main Entrance site of grace on the map, you'll discover the entrance in the cliff face of the main Rauh Ruins if you follow the river around to the right. Go through the large wooden double doors and head down the stairs to access an elevator that takes you down. Here, you'll find the Scorpion River Catacombs Site of Grace.

From the Site of Grace, head straight through the catacombs. In the first room, an Imp enemy will ambush you. Afterward, head left down a short set of stairs towards a large hallway, and turn left into a small room. Inside, you'll find a corpse holding Rejuvenating Boluses and two Imps guarding it. Take them out.

Exit the small room and cross the bridge in the middle of the large hallway until you find another set of stairs going down. Follow the path until you reach another large room with two Imp enemies inside.

Eliminate them and head down the stairs of the large room. Just below the stairs is a corpse holding a Grave Glovewort (3). Proceed through the tunnel entrance on the same level to find another room with an Imp guarding a plant on the left that gives you Yellow Fulgurbloom. At the other end of the room is another tunnel, but before proceeding, loot the corpse beside the tunnel to get x5 Redflesh Mushroom.

Head down the tunnel and go straight through the tight path, turning right towards another short set of stairs going down. Do not immediately exit the tunnel after turning right. There's a large spike trap that launches from above. Wait for the spike to go down, then immediately run to the right to a small space that keeps you safe from the spike trap. From here, you can either run to the right to get out of the spike area or go to the corpse on the other side that has the Ghost Glovewort and then run to safety after looting it.

Once you're out of the spike trap area, turn left and drop down to another level, but be careful, as there are three Basilisks waiting to attack you. After killing the Basilisks, head through the tunnel on this level to find another corpse on the left, giving you the Shadow Realm Rune (4). Exit the tunnel, and just to the left, you'll see another Yellow Fulgurbloom.

To the right, you'll find a ladder going up. Head up the ladder and take out an Imp enemy on the edge of the tunnel enjoying the view of the next room. Drop down into the room and loot the corpse on the right for another Ghost Glovewort (5).

Then, head to the left side of the room and up a short set of stairs. Turn left to find yourself back at the spike trap area. Cross the spike trap area again, but instead of dropping down to the Basilisk area, turn right. This leads to an open hallway with Messmer Soldiers inside. Before proceeding toward the Messmer Soldiers, run to a safe space on the right as the first half of the hallway is another spike trap. Once you cross the hallway, take out the two Messmer Soldiers and then the Black Knight with its back turned. After clearing the hallway, loot the corpse on the right near where you fought the Messmer Soldiers to get a Smithing Stone (5). In the middle of the hallway, where the Black Knight stood, loot the altar to receive the Black Knight Captain Huw.

Afterward, head back to the safe area of the second spike trap and climb the ladder going up. Once you reach the top, wait for the spike trap to go down. Before it goes back up, hop on top of it to reach a secret platform above. Loot the corpse there to get the Imp Head (lion). Hop on the spike trap again to go back to the level above the ladder.

Cross the bridge to the right, and before heading straight through the other tunnel, turn left and cross the ledge. Hop on the spike trap that goes down on the left to reach another secret platform and loot a corpse for the Imp Head (lion).

Return to the ledge, but before going back, turn left first to the tunnel here and enter the small room at the end. Kill two Imps guarding a corpse that gives you the Knight's Lightning Spear. Afterward, head back through the tunnel. Before exiting to the ledge area, turn left and go up the stairs to a small area with two Imps. Loot the corpse on the left to get x6 Yellow Fulgurbloom.

Once done looting, drop down near the corpse to find yourself back at the crossing point of the ledge where you crossed the bridge earlier. Go through the tunnel now and take the elevator down.Once you reach the bottom, head straight through the catacomb tunnels until you reach an intersection. Turn right and wait a few seconds for a shadow fireball trap to cross. When the shadow fireball passes and goes back, tail it down a set of stairs. There's climbable rubble up ahead, but first, check if the shadow fireball has crossed. If it has, climb up the rubble and turn right to the first path.

Follow the path until you reach a giant Imp guarding a short set of stairs. Loot the corpse to the right for a Grave Glovewort (4) before taking out the giant Imp. Head down the stairs after defeating the giant Imp and you'll find yourself in another large room. Head straight and loot the corpse and plant for a Yellow Fulgurbloom and Ghost Glovewort. Then, go down the ladder to the right of the plant and corpse. Once you reach the bottom, loot the corpse to the left for a Great Ghost Glovewort.

Head back up the ladder and turn left through another tunnel, and head up the stairs. At the top, peek first because there are two Shadow Fireballs that will cross. Wait for them to pass above you and then run across the bridge. You can stop in the middle of the bridge and drop down to the left onto a small area to get a Yellow Fulgurbloom plant.

At the other end of this place, where you dropped down, is a ladder going up. Climb up to find a small room with some Imps and a chest containing the Ancient Dragon Knight's Cookbook (2). Afterward, from the ladder, turn left through a tight tunnel that leads to the second level of a previous area. Loot the corpse on the right for Rejuvenating Boluses.

Turn left towards another tunnel with a Yellow Fulgurbloom plant on the right. To the left of the tunnel is a drop-down path back to where the Shadow Fireball trap of the bridge you dropped down from earlier was. Cross the bridge completely and turn right at the end. There's another elevator here that goes down. At the bottom, walk straight to find a yellow mist that leads to the Death Knight boss battle. This boss drops the Death Knight's Longhaft Axe and Cerulean Amber Medallion +3.
