Dungeon Overview

Enemies and Challenges

The main enemies in Belurat include giant spider scorpions, shadow undead, and larger shadow variants with cleavers.

Spider scorpions are your first challenge, with their acid projectiles and claw strikes. Use jump attacks to stagger them early.

Shadow undead are weaker foes, but some can ambush you. Be cautious of their numbers.

Large shadow variants are more durable and can deal significant damage but are susceptible to staggers, backstabs, and heavy attacks.

Revered Spirit Ash: Found on an altar guarded by smaller scorpions.

Shadow Realm Rune 1: Behind the altar in the same room as the Revered Spirit Ash.

Fireproof Dried Liver: Guarded by a spider scorpion up the stairs.

Neutralizing Boluses: Found in a room behind the first area Site of Grace.

Walkthrough: Step-by-Step

Entering the Dungeon

Open the stone gate and immediately face a giant spider scorpion. Use stagger-inducing jump attacks to defeat it quickly.

Proceed to the altar in the next room. Dispatch the smaller scorpions before looting:

Revered Spirit Ash (altar item).

Shadow Realm Rune 1 (behind the altar).

Ascending the Tower

Climb the stairs near the altar to encounter another giant spider scorpion. Defeat it and collect the Fireproof Dried Liver.

Continue through the next door and ascend further. Watch for another spider scorpion ambush halfway up the stairs. Loot the Black Pyrefly x5 as you go.

Reaching Belurat Proper

Exit to the outdoor area and climb the stairs to the first area Site of Grace.

Enter the small room behind the Site of Grace to find two shadow undead. Loot the Neutralizing Boluses, then leave (the door here is inaccessible).

Exploring the Plaza

Follow the path to the right of the stairs into a plaza.

Ambush Alert: A large shadow enemy will attempt a jump attack. Dodge and counter with a backstab or heavy attack. Loot the Stimulating Boluses near the fountain.

Approach the waterfall to the left of the plaza.

A second large shadow guards the Knot Resin x3 in the shallow water. Bait its attack, then defeat it before collecting the item.

Tips for Success

Preparation: Equip items or talismans that boost stamina and physical resistance, as most enemies deal significant melee damage.

Attack Strategy: Focus on jump attacks or heavy weapon strikes to stagger enemies like spider scorpions and large shadows.

Ambush Awareness: Many enemies hide in corners or off-screen locations. Move cautiously and be ready for sudden attacks.

Resource Management: Use ranged weapons or spells to deal with clustered enemies like smaller scorpions.
