This mercifully enemy-free area is home to another Cullis Gate and a light smattering of loot. Once through the archway, take a left at the junction and follow the path to its end. Here, you’ll find a chest containing the mighty Orkon’s Club. Shove it in your stash, then follow the road all the way east. Once you reach the water, use your Rod to reel in an Elixir of Life, then make your way up the slope you passed a moment ago.
Briar Rose greets you at the nearby shrine and instructs you to visit Snowspire Village to the west. Before you do, though, take the road leading north-east toward the huge bronze gates. On the right, just ahead of the snow-covered steps, lies a chest containing the ever-so-slightly terrifying Daemon Warrior Helm. Grab it, then follow the path leading west, keeping watch for the little enclave on the right. Fish in the water here to earn yourself a Will Master’s Elixir, then head through the western exit into Snowspire.
