Traveling southeast along the cliffs from the Stranded Graveyard will lead you along some ruins overlooking the beach below - as well as a body near a hole holding a Smithing Stone 1 (that you should not jump in. You can however get down to the beach itself - either through clever jumping on Torrent down to a lower ledge north of the Site of Grace, which leads down to a large platform with an Alpha Wolf guarding some flowers - or by traveling south and jumping down to where you see the Spiritspring jump point along the beach - as landing inside it will cushion your fall.

Besides a Giant Crab wandering the north end of the beach, you'll also run into a lone Alabaster Lord here. He is suprisingly tough, and may give you a run for your money - due to his ability to use gravity-based magic to pull you in. He'll either raise one hand to try and hit you with a gravitational projectile, or slam his sword in and perform a giant pulling shockwave. Either of these moves will usually see him follow up with long chain attacks, or a frontal stab to skewer you on his long sword.

Be sure to dodge around behind him - even if you do get pulled in, and watch for when his long swings end, but don't be fooled if he stabs forward into the ground with his sword, as he'll pull it back to deal damage close to him.

Fight cautiously, and he'll go down and give you the Ash of War - Gravitas to let you make shockwaves of your own with your chosen weapon.

Before taking the Spiritspring out of the beach, you can also look north along the cliffs for a secret entrance back into the Cave of Knoweldge putting you out on a ledge to find a Haligdrake Talisman.
