Community is the only way I finish these complicated missions. 😂. Thanks

Though this games community has dwindled and is in fact smaller, it is still very much alive and positive for the most part, hopefully DLC for this game happens, the towers and towns in the distance look prime for DLC world exploration

This is an excellent guide. It's both thorough and concise, thank you. I would add that for the Pureblades I just went back to my seedling from the Bulwark and there are thee of them in very close proximity that you can fight 1 at a time.

If theres a lovely gem out there that decided to browse comments before starting, id suggest picking up all the quests and then starting the rector/bulwark farm, by the time youre done you'll have finished the others and you can go to the carrion knights. I felt incredibly let down that this wasnt suggested in the video so i figured i would put it here in hopes it helps someone

Always the best and most comprehensive guide. Thank you

Thanks for the guide, got everything done rather quickly. For the 6tz Shrine I'd recommend using the Vestige of Ferrers the Charred and go back to the Lift and ride it down, OR the Vestige of Lost Berescu run back to the Double Elevator Shortcut and come out right at the Shrine Entrance, though that one might be the longest of the 3

I’m doing this quest right now, beautiful clear guide ninja pup 🙌

Another good shortcut to get to the 6th shrine is going from the Bellroom vestige out toward where the pool of water and all the penitents are and just beyond that climb the tall ladder if you've already knocked it down from above in a run through before.

Thanks for another clear guide

Thank you! Now I have all the new armor sets.

Thank you very much, Ninja Pups. Wonderful tutorial. I have now finished this one and the umbral one. I appreciate how much time you put into these, and how simple you make it. Very well done!

Thanks for the video clear and precise as per usual. Easily the most tedious quest I've ever completed. Sad

This was incredibly helpful, I would've never even found the final area without you! Probably wouldn't have found all the shrines either.

This is a big help. Thank you for sharing.👍🏻

simple nd straight forward video, keep it up brochaco👍

Clear and easy guide.

Thanks very much and appreciate the concise walkthrough. I have some interesting info to share as I was prepping for my Ironman run. I decided that I wanted Flickering Flail’s OP one hand special. I had been accidentally pulled through the closed door to Aubrey’s set (not kidding I have a video uploaded). This in fact did not allow me to use the special. It wasn’t until I followed your video that I was officially able to complete the quest to activate the special.

For the pure blades if you go up the latter next to the shrine there’s one pure blade with a little healing thing and through the tunnel there’s another pure blade. Also a flowerbed in between so you can farm two and be close to the shrine when you’re done. (There is a third after the second pure blade in front of the elevator going up to the next area but he has an immunity thing so probably not worth it.)

Great and well done

Fantastic Guide it was easy to follow and sprint through it.

Excellent vid I'm subscribed now

Thank you!

Once you reach where the armor set is, you don't need to kill the enemies if you don't want to. You can just run behind Abbess and pick the set up them leave.

Level design in this game is incredible

Guide was great thank you. Still took me like an hour to do it all but got the armor and the tincture (thought it was just the armor so this was a nice surprise). :)

ty for guide , all hail havel the rock

Thanks❤

Great video! So there is no way to completw thia quest if you dont go for radiance build, since you dont have the stats to cast the spell on the weapon right?

thank you for all your had work on this, I would add that if you want to get to the pureblade shrine, you can use the bellroom and take a right, go into umbral and travel through the area up the stairs until you can take the elevator up tp the shrine, ill make a video to show in a moment

I wasn't able to get Radiant Weapon because I progressed Dunmire's quest too far before buying it. To confirm, you CAN use salts (fire or holy), and that will count towrads the required kills. Hope this helps.

Thanks man, I have two, one more to go

Thanks for the guide. I wish the candles on the helmet were lit. Would have made a good torch

Hi, I would please like to know if the unlocking of boss or event weapon skills such as the Flickering Flail or Cleric Judge's Lance also persists in NG+ or does the whole procedure have to be redone every game despite having the same weapon as the previous NG with the unlocked skill. Thank you!

A shortcut to the 6th shrine is to use the Emperean vistage and take the lift backwards to the location of the flower bed.

EDIT: You CAN start multiple shrines at once, so a super easy way to get the Crimson Rectors and the Holy Bulwarks done is by placing a vestige seed before the barricaded bridge, right after the room where an Avowed ambushes you and a Marksman snipes you. Kill the bulwark, and then at the start of the bridge drop through the hole in the railing, there's a Crimson rector right there. Then just run up the stairs, turn right, and you're back at the seedling. And thank you so much for the guide, these armors look amazing!

Kinda late but to kill pureblades, you can go to the same seed placed to kill avowed knights but turn right and there’s one and then after killing him there’s another right up the path for 2 easy kills.

When you're doing the avowed. There's actually 4 near that vestige. Kill the first 2 then there's 1 to the right up near the ledge of the platform then to the left up the stairs

Legit great guide! Would be better if the game worked. none of my darn kills counted... Got the spell on the flail, shit wont count. Love it...

big than's

I found it easier for the 6th shrine if you place a seedling in the corridor right before you go down the ladder at the Crimson Rector. You can rest out of umbral before the shrine and there is also a pureblade at each end of the corridor

i figured out like 3/4 bits of this puzzle on my own but got stuck i feel gutted that i need a guide but thank you anyway

Just a note, I didn’t use radiant weapon when killing the carrion knights and it still gave me credit for the kills; I actually maxed the flail (cause I assumed there would be a special ability for this weapon) and I used fire salts to kill the carrion knights. I didn’t know I was supposed to used Radient weapon. 🤷‍♂️ so maybe you don’t have to, or maybe maxing the weapon has an effect. I’m going to go to the next shrine and kill the next set of enemies to see if it gives me credit for the kills. Edit: just did the second set of enemies and again I just used Fire Salts No Radiant weapon spell. And i DID in fact get credit for the kills. Again: the Flail is Maxed, don’t know if that has an effect. Also, it should be noted that I DO have the spell, Radiant Weapon so maybe just acquiring the spell is required. Final Edit: The weapon does in fact have special abilities one handed and two handed L1+R2. 🤩. So my leveling to max was not in vain.

Thank you for actually stating the armor sets are permanent, its crazy how basic questions like this are so hard to find an answer to for this game. Now if only someone would state whether the coffer can be used to transfer items between your characters.

Quick question: Do you have to do the final fight using the Flickering Flail? or it doesn't matter by that point.

Can you tell me If I can just damage them with any weapon, then swap to the Flail imbued with Radiance , and give the finish blow ?

can i wittle em down with a different weapon before swapping it out for the flickering flail and dealing the killing blow with it?

Doing Orious’s Work with the video, In Radiance May you be blessed.

you can do the shrines in any order btw

In that time one would spend going from the 6th shrine back to the abbey to farm 2 pureblades, you could already have killed the one you pass to reach said shrine at least 4 times if not more. :U Not to mention you save that time coming back to the shrine when you're done since there's a seed bed like 10ft from said pureblade. Appreciate these quest guides though, quick and to the point.

This Flail have special ability when complete the quest and upgrade weapon to +10. And its so broken! Radiant builds keeps on top!

Question bro can I duel wield as long as flail is in main hand ? An Ty for the guide bro definitely awesome

Love having 11 radiance

Hey Ninja, just wondering since these were added into the game, do you know if this will count towards the Ironclad Trophy? I'd think only the base game ones would count right?

What armor are you wearing in the beginning it’s super clean

This armor, gives me lots of nostalgia-berries. First, it Reminds me of HAVEL, from DS1 (dark souls 1). Yet EVEN more berry nostalgia from Demon's Souls (the grand daddy of the "souls" genre) BIORR of the twin fangs! Nice. Great-sword and crossbow here I come. Y'all thought Dervla was the OG for great-sword and crossbow?!?!?! HELL NO! It is BIORR of the twin fangs! (He's the OG great sword / crossbow knight) I'll make 2 builds with this 1 armor... HAVEL, with the memento shield and crushing gaze/faithful bludgeon BIORR, with dervla grand sword and (multi-shot) crossbow

I was about to do the quest and after you said "that's the first shrine, there are 6 to do"....not going to happen

There's another Crimson Rector right outside to the left

Hi are the seasonal items still available in the game or was it just time limited? Cause the chest and the mirror are still there

I finished the quest with lacerating weapon on the mace.

The best soulslike not made by Fromsoft, but how tf are we supposed to figure out these quests without a guide

Great guide bit hate this quest im playing with randome enemys and random loot had to find the weapon who knows were and then helf the time the correct enemy didn't count so had to find some other one, agine the gide os great just wish the devs had thought about people using there modifier when making it :/

I need help to get through the swamp area. I’m new to the game and very low leveled. The game is great but got no friends that play this gem. 😅

Thanks. It was not a fast task)

Well i defeat the boss and open the door my rewards was unripe berries.... Any idea how to get that weapon?

Do you have to use the flickering Flail? Or do other weapons work aswell?

Do you need to’ use the Flail or you can use every weapon you want?

Is it possible to acquire a second flickering flail on NG+? Dual wielding those would be op with radiant weapon spell.

Does anyone know if CoOp can be used for the boss fight at the end of this quest? This woman kicking my ass

I didn't get the flickering flail when i looted the dungeon. Did i miss something?

Hi Ninja. Are you sure of the requirement for buffing the flail with the Radiant Weapon spell? I saw somebody else say "buffing the flail MAY cause enemy kills NOT to count". He mentioned that for the Carrion Knight kills in the Tower of Penance. Not sure if it also applies across the board or not at all. Can you shed some light on that?

Can I just add that I used the assassins bow and all I did was shoot them with the bow to get them low and I ran up to them and smacked them in the face when I came to tougher enemies to be fair and never said I had to beat the living crap out of them. It just said I need to get the final blow

Hey, are these limited time events, or will I be able to jump back in lotf later and still get these armors?

I wish you showed the location of how to get to the short cut elevator in the last shrine

Damn i don’t think I can do any of this since I completed dunmires quest and I never bought radiant weapon

I can’t interact with the shrine even with the Orion vow. So I am not sure what to do

No matter how many times I kill the Petient it still tells me I need to kill 10 more. Anyway to fix this?

Once you get the armor is it unlocked for all characters or just that character?

So, I can't find the shader/tinct and my flail doesn't do the special move

All orders are completed. But the cave door didn't open. What should I recommend?

Does it matter which radiance weapon i use to kill them? Can I use the Pieta sword or a radiance spell?

Sory for the stupid question but i wonder we're you get this Beserk armor that you wearing? I

On the 4th shrine I must've killed at least 30 Ardent Penitents still telling me to do the quest basically meaning I killed nothing or messed up on something. Does it matter if I rest after the 10th kill? Or does that reset the whole count down? This is slightly annoying because they don't even have a kill count for this mission

What is the short way and elevator to the pureblade knights shrine where he’s on the throne? I’m sure I have the shortcut I just don’t remember… anyone?

Dude the item chest makes hard swapping easier sign me up

Idk if this is a dumb question.. can i dual weild with the flail and something else??

Not sure if anyone else commented this , or if I missed it in your video ... But.. Last hitting with SMITE dmg does NOT count as a kill for this quest , has to be flail last hits

Seems like the enemies have to be killed with 1hand light attacks otherwise they just wont count. I had killed around 30 penitent before i started just 1hand killing them to finally complete that step

Can you kill one rest and repeat or do you have to kill 5 without resting?

How normal people can do this quests ... i cant find last locations on the hill and i am alread 90 lvl ... do you know some1 from developers ?

How was any of this found out

What armor do u have equipped now ?

I killed 10+ Crimson Rectors 3 times over with 3 different weapon combos, buffed with Radiant Weapon, still didnt work. I give up.

My weapon level 10, and got all the armor set and kill the boss room, but i can't do the weapon art ? Could anyone help?

This one was such a bloody pain in the arse.

Just so you know you don't need the radiant spell you just need to be using the flail I've already tested it

Is anyone not being given the option to interact with a shrine? Specifically the second one in the crimson rector room. I do the emote, but no cigar

will these armor expire or this trial ? or its forever ?

9:45 did you notice there was something under the wooden plank, it looks like yellow butterflies and when I checked there was a red glowing ball, but I don't know how to reach it...

Please tell me what kind of swords these 2 red ones are ?

Is this needed for armour trophy?
