Auriza Side Tomb

Included subareas

Auriza Side Tomb does not have named internal wings or separate selectable subareas. For practical purposes, it is best understood as three connected elements:

Named directory: enemies and bosses

The Imps are particularly dangerous in the dark rooms and around stair landings. Some attack from ledges or walls, while others throw pots from raised platforms. Small Living Jars may hide in shadows. The yellow-topped explosive jars detonate when killed, so avoid standing beside them or fighting several at once.

1. Enter the tomb and note the boss door

Activate the Auriza Side Tomb Site of Grace immediately inside. Continue down the first stairs and you will see the sealed boss door. It cannot be opened yet, so treat this room as your central reference point.

From there, take the route leading deeper into the tomb. The first dark room contains small Living Jars. Lock on before attacking, as the lighting makes it easy to miss enemies against the walls. Continue through the lower rooms until you reach a chest at the end of a corridor.

2. Use the first transporter chest

Open the chest and allow the mist to transport you. This is not a normal treasure chest and does not simply return you to the entrance. You will arrive in a similar-looking section of the dungeon.

The safest way to avoid confusion is to memorise the following rule:

This loop is the intended way to move between the duplicated areas. Simply wandering through identical rooms can leave you circling indefinitely.

3. Search the imp rooms

In the next section, descend through the dark rooms and deal with the Imps beneath the stone platforms. One Imp drops from the platform ahead, while another attacks from the right. Search beneath the stairs for an additional Imp and Grave Glovewort [6].

Continue through the watery room and take the route beneath the stone platform. In the following room, one Imp waits for an ambush while another throws pots from above. Pull the lower enemy away from the ranged attacker before dealing with the elevated Imp.

4. Find the first illusory wall

An archway in the room contains an illusory wall. Roll into it to reveal a stairway. At the bottom are more upgrade materials and explosive Living Jars. Draw the jars up the stairs, then sprint past them and roll away before they detonate.

The chest in this hidden section is another transporter. It sends you to a ledge in the preceding room, where you can collect Golden Rune [7] from a corpse. If you fall from the ledge, use the chest route again rather than trying to improvise a jump back to the intended path.

5. Reach the large Living Jar

Continue through the upper platforms and deal with the Imps around the stairs. One waits above the wall, so check overhead before climbing.

Eventually you will reach a room containing a large Living Jar and an explosive jar. Stand towards the far side of the room and allow the explosive jar to damage the larger enemy if possible. After defeating the large Living Jar, collect:

The Ritual Pot is a permanent increase to the number of Ritual Pots you can carry, provided you have not already reached the relevant inventory limit.

6. Visit the second duplicated section

Return towards the illusory-wall room and use the chest at the bottom of the hidden stairway. This transports you to another balcony and then towards an enclosed room containing two large Living Jars.

The cookbook expands the recipes available for Perfumer-related crafting. It is one of the dungeon’s most useful rewards for characters who regularly use aromatic items.

Use the nearby chest to return to the balcony, then repeat the route through the transporter chest. This time you will reach the corresponding version of the enclosed room. The enemies here are explosive Living Jars rather than the same large jars encountered previously. Collect the second set of:

Climb the ladder in this section to reach the upper platform.

7. Pull the lever

At the top of the ladder is the dungeon lever. Pull it to open the previously sealed boss door. A Grave Glovewort [6] is also available near the lever platform.

After pulling the lever, use the nearby chest to return to the earlier section. Retrace the route towards the entrance, passing through the familiar stairs and rooms. The boss door near the Site of Grace is now open. Rest at the Grace before entering if you need to restore healing charges or FP.

8. Defeat the Grave Warden Duelist

The Grave Warden Duelist uses two large hammers and fights aggressively at close range. The boss is accompanied by small Living Jars, including explosive variants.

The Living Jars are the main complication. If left alive, they can interrupt healing, block movement and cause explosive damage while the Duelist attacks. Once they are gone, the fight is a much more conventional Grave Warden encounter.

Defeating the boss awards Soldjars of Fortune Ashes. These Spirit Ashes summon jar-based allies and are the dungeon’s signature reward.

Fixed items

The dungeon also contains several additional Grave Glovewort pickups and the item distribution may be described slightly differently by walkthroughs depending on whether they count each duplicated section separately. The repeated rooms are fixed, not procedurally generated, but the route used to reach an item can vary according to which transporter chest was activated first.

Transporter chests

The chests are the dungeon’s defining hazard. They do not merely conceal treasure: they relocate the player between related sections. If you become lost, retrace your route to the most recent chest and use the illusory-wall connection rather than exploring randomly.

Illusory walls

The hidden walls are not just optional shortcuts. At least one is central to reaching the correct chest sequence and recovering from the dungeon’s duplicated layouts.

Explosive Living Jars

Explosive jars can damage nearby enemies as well as the player. Use that behaviour against large Living Jars, but do not remain beside them when their death animation begins.

Dark ambushes

The Imps favour ceilings, walls, corners and the undersides of stairs. Lock-on is useful, but also raise the camera and check the room vertically before moving across a platform.
