Visit the Crystal Cave at the edge of Elden Ring Lake
You will find it pretty much exactly south of the Grace ‘Scenic Isle’ site as you head towards the rock face. There you will see the entrance to the cave.
Here is the location on the map:
Activate Grace’s site “Lakeside Crystal Cave” and open the treasure chest next to it, which will appear 1x Arteria Leaf.
Follow the path to the left and slaughter the first few demi-humans in the cave. Heading north, you’ll come to a small area with a waterfall and a demi-human boss.
Eliminate the enemies and loot the chest to obtain the Spear Talisman.
Then go back to the area you came from and head down east. You will see several ledges where you can do this.
You land next to a campfire. The area next to it is full of crystal snails that spit their crystals at you. Eliminate the trio and take 5x Throwing Daggers of the corpse.
Follow the northern passage deeper into the cave, kill more snails and collect 1x Golden Rune (5) of the corpse.
Drop down once in the next room with the big crystals, pick them up 2x soft cotton of the corpse and fall back.
You have now reached the bottom. Take 1x Forge Stone (4), 1x piece of flesh And 1x Forge Stone (2) and continue west/southwest past more snails.
Caution: The boss fight starts in the next area, which is not separated by a fog wall (at least not the first time).
How to defeat the Bloodhound Knight in the Crystal Cave by the Lake in Elden Ring
The Bloodhound Knight is the boss of the Crystal Cave by the lake.
You already know this type of enemy in an aggravated form in the Bloodhound Prison of Limgrave. There, it is the Bloodhound knight Darriwil, who had to be defeated after a fierce exchange of blows.
The Bloodhound Knight doesn’t have a name here, but otherwise he’s largely the same: fast and elusive. Use summons to keep him busy and be able to backstab him with all his might.
Your rewards for defeating them are 3600 runes And Cerulean Amber Medallion.
