From here, you’ll make your way to discover the Belurat, Tower Settlement Site of Grace. Beware of the giant scorpion that awaits in ambush as you enter the dungeon.
From the door, it’s a linear path to the first item in the dungeon: aRevered Spirit Ash, located at the base of the giant hornsent statue. Now, head up the curved stairs. Use the one on the left instead of the right to avoid getting caught off guard by another giant scorpion.
