If you don’t have this location unlocked, then follow the steps outlined below:

  • Follow the southeastern path and cross the bridge. 
  • Keep following the path and rest at the Site of Grace near the Bridge of Sacrifice
  • Trek down the road until it divides and take the right turn
  • Continue along the path until you reach the Church of Pilgrimage
  • From the church, simply head southwest until you reach the Tombsward ruins
