SomeElden Ringdungeons are fairly straightforward, but Auriza Side Tomb is one of the more complex in the game. The dungeon is full of transportation trap chests, and it uses several ‘mirror’ rooms that look identical to further confuse you as you attempt to navigate the imp-infested tomb.
This guide will take you through each room in the dungeon. It’s not the most straightforward path, but it ensures you will obtain every item available.
How To Find Auriza Side Tomb
Auriza Side Tomb is located just north ofAuriza Hero’s Gravein the northeastern Capital Outskirts just outside Leyndell, Royal Capital. If you’ve already accessed the Capital Ramparts site of grace, you’ll want to head back outside the city and take the path beneath the Capital Ramparts bridge entrance. The area leading up to Auriza Side Tomb is inhabited by a large bear and a Lesser Runebear, so be careful in your approach to the tomb.
Navigating The Dungeon
The next room will look more like a chapel with a chest at the far end. An imp will attack from your immediate left. Another imp lurks at the far end of the room, and one is high up on the right ledge,hurling potsdown at you.
Taking the Chapel’s transporter trap chest will land you in an enclosed area withtwo large Warrior Jars. Defeat them and loot the room: you will find 2 Cracked Pots and thePerfumer’s Cookbook [3]. This room is a dead-end, so take the transporter trap chest back to the Chapel.
The southern wall in the chapel room isillusory. Head down the newly revealed stairs to a small room.Two small exploding Living Jarswill immediately charge you. After defeating them, you will find 1 Grave Glovewort [5] in the room along with anothertransporter trap chest. Take this transporter trap chest, and you will teleport to a balcony ledge overlooking the second chapel room.
To reiterate: this isnot the samechapel room you were in previously. It’s a nearly identical one, and can quickly get you turned around if you can’t keep it straight.
Defeat the two imps on the balcony and loot theGolden Rune [7].
Reaching Boss Door Lever
Thesecond chapel’s main transporter trap chestwill take you into a watery room with two smallexploding Living Jars, 1 Ghost Glovewort [6], and 2 Cracked Pots. You’ll find aladderin the back right corner of the room as well. Climb the long ladder to reach a familiar ledge with 1 Grave Glovewort [6] and, finally, theboss door lever.
Drop down and head up the stairs ahead to another transporter trap chest. This will lead you back to thevery first transporter trap chest. Take the path straight ahead to find thesite of graceup the stairs on your left and the boss room down the stairs on your right (now open). Rest up before the boss fight.
Defeat Grave Warden Duelist
The Grave Warden Duelist might be a familiar boss by this point in the game, as he is one of the repeated enemies you’ll encounter in the Lands Between, but hisunorthodox weaponrycan make him a tricky fight. In addition, he is accompanied byfour small Living Jars. Don’t worry, though; none of them will explode on you.
After defeating Grave Warden Duelist, you will be rewarded with the unique and charmingSoldjars of Fortune Ashes, a strange and powerful Spirit Ash to add to your collection.
