Crypt of Dead Gods

Before heading to the second last area of the game, make sure you have completed all quest lines you care about and collected all quest rewards. Furthermore, upgrade your main weapon and armour pieces as high as possible, preferably to their maximum upgrade levels. Farm all required materials and hand them in to the Leader NPC for your rewards.

57. Crypt of Dead Gods, Salt and Sanctuary

Your objective at the Crypt of Dead Gods is to defeat a gatekeeper boss to unlock the passage to the final area of the game. Start from the sanctuary of the Salt Alkymancery and navigate to the arena of the area boss. Defeat the boss if you have not done so already and proceed left to find an upward passage to the Crypt of Dead Gods. After entering the area, you would encounter Scarecrow. Exhaust his dialogue and choose one of two options he provides to advance his quest line. You will meet Scarecrow for the last time after defeating the final boss of the game. Continue left and rest at the sanctuary of the area. This is the last sanctuary of the game and the sanctuary closest to the final boss. The area where the last boss is found does not have a sanctuary, but a shrine.

The Crypt of Dead Gods has various endgame upgrade materials in case you need them. Each enemy found there drops a decent amount of salt. Farm the enemies to level up as necessary.

Notable loots:

• Case of Salt. To the left of Scarecrow.
• Drowned Locket x 3
• Crate of Salt
• Charred Locket x 3
• Diamond Cluster
• Drowned Censer
• Stone Leader. To the left of the sanctuary. Further left is a ladder leading to a lever that unlocks a shortcut to Hager's Cavern.
• Warhorn
• Frozen Locket x 3
• A Lord's Orders x 6
• Crystal Sphere
• Stone Merchant
• Shimmering Pearl x 2. One is on the drop down path to The Forgotten King. The other can be collected after defeating The Forgotten King.
• Stone Sellsword. After defeating The Forgotten King, head right and take a passage up to unlock a shortcut. Head into the shortcut and continue as far left as possible.

The Forgotten King

58. The Forgotten King, Salt and Sanctuary

An optional gank boss. You will face off against The Forgotten King, The Forgotten Knight, and The Forgotten Judge all at the same time. Buff the Obsidian Pillar VII with Stained Page and equip the Impen's Charm for extra fire damage. Focus on dispatching of The Forgotten Knight first, the enemy who wields a great sword. The remaining two enemies would then be easier to manage. Of the two remaining enemies, prioritize The Forgotten King, the enemy who wields a sceptre. The Forgotten Judge is the mage of the gank. The mage can be rather difficult to fight because they constantly hover above ground and is sometimes out of reach of your melee attacks.

Kraekan Dragon Skourzh

59. Kraekan Dragon Skourzh, Salt and Sanctuary

The last mandatory boss who blocks the path to the final area of the game. Buff the Obsidian Pillar VII with Stained Page and equip the Impen's Charm for extra fire damage. Equip the Goldenstone Ring to boost your defense against the boss' lightning attacks.

Defeat Kraekan Dragon Skourzh and head right into The Still Palace. The first NPC you encounter would be the Old Man. Exhaust his dialogue and proceed to the shrine of the area.
