Where To Use The Sewer-Gaol Key In Elden Ring

In Elden Ring, the open world is brimming with captivating opportunities for players. With countless destinations to explore, treasures to acquire, and intriguing non-playable characters (NPCs) to encounter, the game offers an abundance of captivating questlines. Even when players believe they have thoroughly uncovered a specific area, new and uncharted discoveries continually emerge. Fully experiencing everything Elden Ring has to offer will undoubtedly require a significant investment of time.

Certain quests and NPCs pose a greater challenge in terms of their discovery and interaction. For instance, consider the enigmatic NPC known as Dung Eater, who materializes in Roundtable Hold once players have entered the Leyndell, Royal Capital, or Volcano Manor. Upon their initial encounter, players can engage with the Red Spirit, albeit finding him to be somewhat aloof, with little more to offer than idle threats. To progress through his peculiar questline, players must engage in conversation with him after obtaining a specific item that can only be acquired much later in the game. This glimpse into the world of Dung Eater, alongside the nature of his quest and the significance of the Sewer-Gaol Key, will be explored.

Updated August 4th, 2023: For players aiming to complete the Dung Eater's questline and achieve 100 percent completion along with exploring all possible endings, obtaining the Sewer-Gaol Key is crucial. While acquiring the key itself is relatively straightforward, locating the corresponding door can pose a challenge for players who are unaware of its whereabouts. To assist players in discovering the destination of the Sewer Gaol Key and uncovering the treasure it unlocks, we have updated the following guide. This update includes a video that showcases the pathway leading to the door, enhancing the overall navigational experience.

How To Get The Sewer-Gaol Key

After gaining access to Dung Eater, players must complete one final task to advance his questline and obtain the Sewer-Gaol Key. Located in Roundtable Hold, Dung Eater can be accessed by unlocking a new door in the hallway near the Library. Within this room, the Red Spirit sits in a cross-legged position. However, players will only receive results from interacting with him if they possess an item known as the Seedbed Curse in their inventory.

To find a Seedbed Curse, players should make their way to the Leyndell, Royal Capital, which becomes accessible after unlocking the East Capital Rampart. Upon exiting the doorway to the left, they will encounter a formidable fire-breathing enemy. By leaping down to the right and entering a nearby doorway, they will find themselves on a lift that descends a short distance. Once at the bottom, players can enter a grand, golden-domed building in front of them and ascend the ladder on the right. Reaching the top, they can take the winding stairway to the highest floor. It is there that they will discover the Seedbed Curse, resting on a corpse seated in a chair.

Taking this Seedbed Curse back to Dung Eater will cause him to open up a new dialogue option, in which he will give players the Sewer-Gaol Key.

To utilize the Sewer-Gaol Key, players must initially gain access to the Avenue Balcony Site of Grace in Leyndell, the Royal Capital. From there, players should descend the nearby stairs, pass through the door, and make a left turn to follow the edge of the balcony. Subsequently, they can leap down into the courtyard below and proceed northwards to locate a well nestled in a small alcove. Entering this well will lead them to the sewers, embarking on a rather lengthy journey towards the door that can be unlocked using the Sewer-Gaol Key.

Once players reach the bottom of the well, they should proceed through the first door on the left and continue along the path until they arrive at the Subterranean Shunning Grounds. Descending the stairs, passing by the rats, and going through the door, players should then take a left turn to find a ladder leading downwards. After descending from the ladder, players can enter the first door on the left to discover another Site of Grace. Continuing ahead from the ladder and bypassing a formidable enemy, players will notice grates on the floor, one of which is missing. They should jump down into this opening and navigate North West through the tunnel, while avoiding or confronting the rats and massive plants present in the area.

Ascending the ladder at the end of this path will lead players to a fresh expanse, opening up exciting new possibilities. Taking an immediate right turn will bring them face to face with a sturdy barred door, which can be conveniently unlocked using the Sewer-Goal Key.
