From there, it’s a straight shot southwest through a woody crevasse, though you’ll want to be wary of two armoured golems who will attack you as you go. One of them has a bow and won’t hesitate to fire at you immediately, while the other boasts an axe with impressive range. Stick to the edges of the crevasse to avoid the axe-swinger, and you should be able to circumvent the other’s bow attacks as long as you move swiftly.

You’ll end up at the remains of a village with shadows lurking all over the place. TheTemple Town RuinsSite of Grace rests on the edge of the old town.

Once you’ve made it to the site of the ruins themselves, getting inside requires finding a hole in one of the sides of the largest collapsed structure. Hop through the hole and you’ll be in one of the ruins' interior courtyards. You’ll see a staircase here covered in red; you can climb the stars to reach previously inaccessible areas of the ruins, and if you explore thoroughly, you can grab aScadutree Fragmenthidden on a ledge-lying corpse.
