Elden Ring Prison Cave Tour
Northeast of Fort Gael and northwest of the Caelid Waypoint Ruins is the entrance to the cave at the edge of the swamp. You will need two sword stone keys to open it.
Next to Grace’s ‘Gaol Cave’ site is a treasure chest with 1x Runic Bow inside. Follow the passage into the cave and give the rat next to the corpse a beating with 1x Golden Rune (2).
Take the passage to the northeast and look for a passage on the right side:
This leads to a dead end, where the ground gives way beneath our feet. We fall and end up in a cell. Let’s get out and head towards the southwest tunnel.
The door behind the enemy on the right can only be opened from the other side, so the path to the southwest remains.
After dropping them off, take out two enemies and continue south. The cells on the side will open shortly.
Two enemies guard a (still) closed door on the left, continue through the cave on the right. At the next fork in the path, a mother rat and a normal rat crouch on the left next to the items 1x Golden Rune (4), 2x Turtle Neck Meat And 1x Golden Rune (3).
Behind some poison traps on the right is a room with shelves, three enemies, a treasure chest in the basement (1x Dark Forge Stone (5) ), a corpse with 1x Golden Rune (5) and the familiar door.
Open it to unlock a shortcut. At the top we discover the lever to open all the cells in the cave.
Behind most of them are burning undead, which explode (if you don’t kill them first through the barred doors) and objects.
You can get the following items throughout the cave behind all the doors: 5x Old Fang, Pillory Shield, 2x Golden Rune (2)THE Wakizashi Dagger, 2x Golden Rune (4), 1x Sword Stone Key, 1x Rainbow Stone.
In the room with the Rainbow Stone, you can cut some planks in the southwest corner and reach the boss arena after dropping them a few times.
How to beat the Frenzied Duelist boss in Gaol Cave in Elden Ring
The frenzied duelist’s behavior is reminiscent of the tomb-guarding duelist in the Murkwater Catacombs.
His combos are quite effective at covering long distances. He can catch up to you quickly if you dodge backwards too often. In some cases, he chains together five to six punches.
Luckily, there are longer pauses between each attack, which can be used to heal, strike, or whatever is needed.
In the second phase, he strengthens himself with a technique that increases the damage he deals and gives him more attacks for the rest of the fight.
He now exploits the scourge’s range with spinning attacks (dodging in its direction and interrupting it) and can trigger even longer combos.
However, it is rather slow and easy to decipher in what it does. There should be no unsolvable problems.
Your rewards for defeating the Frenzied Duelist are 6700 runesand the Ashes of rotting corpses.
After the boss fight, you will reach Limgrave Coast via a passage and find the Badges of Eochaid’s Straight Sword as well as 3x Luminous Stones on the cliffs.
