The Starting Point: Castle Front Site of Grace
We begin our journey at the Castle Front Site of Grace near Castle Ensis. Instead of entering the castle, we will take a detour to discover the Cerulean Coast.
Head South: Through Camps and Swamps
Head southeast from the Castle Front Site of Grace, following the winding path. Along the way, you will encounter enemy camps; decide whether to confront them or sneak past. The landscape will gradually transform into a hazardous swamp infested with poisonous plants and foes.
Two Paths to the Ellac River
You have the option to brave the swamp or search for a hidden passage that leads to the Ellac River.
Option 1: Through the Swamp
Navigate through the swamp while evading enemies and toxic vegetation, unless you are prepared to use your resources. Eventually, you will descend a slope and reach the Ellac River.
Option 2: The Hidden Passage
For a safer route, look for a concealed tunnel entrance near the cliff base on the west side of the swamp. Inside, you will discover the Ellac River Cave Site of Grace.
Following the Ellac River
Whether crossing the swamp or using the hidden passage, you will arrive at the Ellac River Cave Site of Grace. As you follow the river downstream, be mindful of the waterfalls and gaps that will challenge your agility.
Utilize Torrent’s double jump ability to leap from rock to rock. Should you fall, do not fret; there are Sites of Grace along the way where you can rest and try again.
Reaching the Cerulean Coast
As you progress forward, you will encounter the Ellac River Downstream Site of Grace. Be prepared for what lies ahead – you will encounter large, golden sheep in a hidden field. Exercise caution as these creatures wield lightning abilities. Additionally, beware of the intimidating Giant Fire, which is best avoided unless you are adequately equipped. Continue following the river until you reach a hill that ascends, marking the final challenge before you arrive at the breathtaking Cerulean Coast.
