Where To Find the Seethewater Cave
The Seethewater Cave can be found in the Mt. Gelmir region in the northeast.
To reach the Seethewater Cave, make your way to the Seethewater Site of Grace, west of Wyndham Ruins, and head north through the ravine. Keep an eye out for the fire geysers as you make your way there. The entrance is nestled into the rocks on a raised slab.
Once you unlock the seal, enter the cave and activate the site of grace. Drop down a small ledge from the Site of Grace to encounter two Leyndell Knights, one patrolling and the other sitting in a chamber to the right. Move forward and drop through a hole to reach the main area of the cave, which has a poisoned floor and many Fungal Soldiers.
After you drop down, you’ll see two Poisonbloom plants behind you; grab them and continue on your way. Your poison meter will continually rise as a result of the poison. Use the little pieces of land to keep the meter from reaching its limit.
You will also encounter Poisonous Skeletal Slimes, which will descend from the area’s roof and absorb you if you get caught in them. Head to the northeastern corner of the area, where you will find a body holding 3x Poison Grease.
From here, make your way to the southwest tunnel, and by the end of it, you will come across a body guarded by two small rats and one Giant Rat.
Kill them and pillage the corpse for 4x Lump of Flesh. Head back and loop around the ridge to the left. Hug the left wall until you reach an alcove with a corpse holding a Preserving Boluses.
You must now deal with the group of Fungal Soldiers and head west off the ledge. Here, you will have two paths: one to the southwest and one to the north.
Head to the southwestern tunnel, kill three small rats in your way, and you will reach the top of the previous cavern. Kill all the Fungal Soldiers and loot the corpse hanging on the edge to receive a Golden Rune [7].
To the southeast, you’ll come across a pathway leading to the room with several Fungal Soldiers kneeling to a Giant Poison Flower.
Clear the area and loot the corpses to receive a piece of Immunizing White Cured Meat and the Mushroom Armor Set, which includes the Mushroom Head, Mushroom Body, Mushroom Arms, and Mushroom Legs. Return down the slope, this time to examine the path going north.
You will come across a hole in the ground with platforms to jump down on. Descend the hole, kill the two rats along the way, and loot the nearby corpse for 10x Poisonbone Dart. Once at the bottom, head west to reach a dead-end, kill the rat, and loot the corpse for a Golden Rune [6].
Turn around and head east to reach the mist wall to the right. Behind it, you will face two Kindred of Rot bosses.
Use Spirit Ashes, preferably one that can inflict some damage while still having good defensive numbers, to make the fight a little easier. You’ll only have to deal with one boss at a time this way. After defeating them, you will receive 10.000 Runes and Kindred of Rot’s Exultation Talisman.
