Where to go to Cerulean Coast?
Castle Front is the ideal starting location for going to the Cerulean Coast, i.e. the Site of Grace located in front of the stone steps leading to Castle Ensis. The checkpoint is located in the middle of a camp full of enemies, so be careful here.
Head south-east, following the path leading down between the palisades. Along the way, you will encounter several single opponents.
When you reach a fork, take the road to the left and downhill. When passing under the huge rock arch, watch out for large enemies armed with clubs.
A moment later you will reach a swampy area. Coming into contact with water will cause you to become poisoned. So try to keep it to a minimum. We recommend that you stick to the passage above the cliff, with the swamps on your left.
While traveling down, head north-west. Along the way, you will encounter groups of small enemies. They look inconspicuous, but their projectiles cause poisoning upon hit, and a large group can quickly corner your character. Try to eliminate them as quickly as you can.
At the end of the path you will come across a shallow reservoir and an a tunnel entrance. It is guarded by a giant crab and a plant that shoots glowing projectiles. The crustacean and the deadly flower can easily kill you, so approach them with caution (or just run past them).
Enter the tunnel that will lead you to the Ellac River's bed.

Head south-west through the rocky tunnel. Before leaving the cave, you will encounter a Site of Grace, which is worth activating immediately.
After exiting the tunnel, keep heading left (south) until you reach a waterfall.
To get further, you'll have to carefully walk on the stone pillars leading south. We definitely recommend doing this while riding Torrent.
After reaching lower, continue your journey along the riverbed. When you encounter bird statues on your way, be careful. Some of them are actually flying enemies who will attack you when you get close.
After another series of jumps on rocky platforms, you will finally reach another waterfall and an open, exposed area. However, before you go further, activate the Site of Grace right in front of the waterfall.
Carefully go down the stone ledges to the right of the waterfall. While your mount, jump onto the fallen stone pillar and use it to get to the left bank of the river below.

There's basically a small open space separating you from the target region. On the open plateau, head towards the southwest corner where there is a passage. Unfortunately, the path goes through the area where a huge, burning Golem lives. This is a powerful opponent that you don't want to fight unprepared. However, if you are riding Torrent, you are able to sneak past him. Just watch out for the fire attacks that the golem will try to hit you with.
After passing under the rock arch, you will finally reach the desired region. First, we recommend that you activate the Site of Grace at the entrance to the area. Then you can go to the place marked on the map above. There you will find a fragment that will unlock a large part of the map for you. Be careful, because there is a dragon in the middle of the large clearing.
