How to Get to Castle Morne

At the southernmost point of South Limgrave, Castle Morne is very hard to miss. Upon your first approach, a large golem will fire ballista ammunition at you from a great distance, often able to take you by surprise and lead to some sudden deaths. Make good use of the terrain and broken structures lining the path to the castle to avoid the fire, and swipe at the golem's legs to take it down permanently.

Heading inside, you'll find a Site of Grace just beyond the steps on the left past the portcullis.

Castle Morne Walkthrough

As you take the lift just beyond the Site of Grace, you'll rise up a set of steps into a large open courtyard. Roaming the giant pile of corpses on the right are a number of Misbegotten and a number of feral dogs. Around each of the fires in the courtyard, you can find multiple Smoldering Butterfly, and the corpse on the ruins to the left of the highest fire contains Fire Grease.

On the opposite side of the courtyard to where you entered, you'll find a resting Pumpkin Head enemy. Tucked in the alcove to the left of the tree it is resting by, there will be a corpse holding a Smithing Stone (1). To the right, you'll find a ladder hugging the wall on the right-hand side. Climb it to face two additional Misbegotten, as well as two flying Misbegotten who fire arrows from the air. Halfway across the bridge, on the right, you'll find a corpse holding a Golden Rune (1).

Alternatively, you can loop behind the giant pile of corpses and head inside a darkened room on the right. Immediately to your left, behind a wooden palette, is a chest containing a Claymore weapon. Head down the steps to the right, and you'll encounter two Misbegotten fighting a Godrick Knight.

Head up the ladder on the left to stumble upon a large battle between Misbegotten and Godrick Knights; upon clearing the space there will be a corpse on the right side of the gallows in the southeast corner that holds a Furlcalling Finger Remedy. To the northeast is a small pathway guarded by two Misbegotten, and a corpse that holds the Steel-Wire Torch. In the western corner is a ladder, and after climbing it you will have looped around and can drop down to the same bridge and continue progress.

Across the bridge, you'll find a brazier with more Smoldering Butterfly. To the right of the brazier, the wall of the tower has been destroyed, allowing you to drop down to a Site of Grace. Continue to drop down and you can either drop down to the left, where a corpse holding a Stonesword Key is on a wooden platform (which is recommended), or you can jump across the gap between rooftops and drop down through the gap in the grated ceiling.

In the room below (should you drop through the grate in the ceiling or through the door if you collected the Stonesword Key), there will be a Misbegotten in the corner, as well as a spirit in a cage and a corpse that holds a Golden Rune (3). Passing over the bridge, defeating the larger axe-wielding Misbegotten on the other side. Head up the ladder on the left-hand side to reach a small circular watchtower, tucked around the back of which is a chest containing the Twinblade Talisman. Backtracking to the bridge, drop down on the right-hand side to land on the roof below.

Dropping down further, a corpse behind the tree holds x3 Tarnished Golden Sunflower. Jump down to the left, where you'll be able to see buildings down to the beach. Approach the hole in the ceiling and drop down, landing on the wooden beam. Grab the Smithing Stone from the corpse, then drop down further to face 4 rats and a Misbegotten. At the back of the room is a corpse holding the Whip weapon. Head outside and round the corner to the left to find a Site of Grace.

Crossing over the wooden bridge, a large axe-wielding Misbegotten is resting to your immediate left, whilst a flying Misbegotten will descend and attack you as well. Before heading down the ladder on the right, grab the Throwing Dagger x8 from the corpse against the southwestern wall.

After descending the ladder, head north around the left side of the building across the water to find some small crabs. Be careful, as a giant crab will begin to emerge as you take out the smaller ones; though if you start attacking as it emerges, the crab is unlikely to be able to begin attacking before you can kill it. With that dealt with, continue north to find a small crevasse in the rock face guarded by two more small crabs. Within the crevasse is a corpse holding Fire Arrow x8.

Heading south, under the bridge and slightly out into the water, you'll spot an arch and a mist wall within.

Boss Fight - Leonine Misbegotten

A humanoid beast with a red mane and a large sword, this foe is an agile fighter. If you’ve spoken to Irina’s father, Edgar, you can summon him to help you in this fight.

Capable of closing short distances very quickly, efficient and conservative use of your Stamina bar will be key to your success. One of its main attacks is a four-move combo, involving three swings back and forth with its sword, finishing with an overhead vertical slam. Again, with the speed of this opponent, it will be very difficult to keep any kind of distance between the two of you, so dodge-rolling through the swings and away from the slam are essential. If you're confident in parrying, you can interrupt any of the swings bar the final slam so attempt to get a critical strike there if you think you can execute the timing.

It can also get on all fours and launch towards you with a swing, then a 360-degree spin into a launch into the air and stabbing its sword into the ground. The stab with the sword has a lock-on that is best countered by staying underneath the beast as it's in the air and rolling at the last second; your I-frames will help with the resulting shockwave.

The beast can swipe with its left hand back and forth, then jump into the air, grab both ends of its sword and slam it down creating a larger shockwave, which is easy to avoid by rolling backward as the sword hits the ground. Also be aware that the beast can roar, which will damage you slightly and can even stagger you if your build isn't dexterous enough.

With dashing swipes at longer distances, the beast is best faced aggressively. A brutal move to watch out for at close range is a foot stomp, that immediately leads into two 360-degree spins with the sword. This above any other attack in this fight has the highest chance of killing you outright, as if you get caught during the first spin you will be hit by the second. You can block the foot stomp with minor impact on your Stamina, but be prepared to immediately execute two dodge-rolls to evade the swings.

Whilst the beast can strike very fast, most of its moves are telegraphed relatively well and therefore this is a battle of attrition above all else. Due to its speed, it is heavily recommended to not get greedy with attacks of any kind, and whittle down its health until you best it.

Upon defeating the Leonine Misbegotten, it will drop the Grafted Blade Greatsword weapon, and a new Site of Grace will emerge in the center of the arena for easy traversal back to the mainland.
