Defeat The Hollow Crow

The Hollow Crow's battle is one of the gimmick fights in the game. The difficulty of this fight varies greatly depending on how fast can you clear its summoned minions. Technically, you will be fighting two bosses in here. Lucy, The Hollow Crow's companion, and him. When the fight starts, transfer to Umbral and you will see that Lucy can be perceived when in this realm. By dealing damage to Lucy, you also deal damage to The Hollow Crow. Once you depleted Lucy's HP, she will retire from the battle momentarily and The Hollow Crow will throw ice breaths with icicles at you or release a homing ice stalagmites.

You can easily dodge this by paying attention to the floor if it glowing. Once Lucy returns to the battle, she will summon more Umbral entities and Kinrangr Hounds. Deplete Lucy's HP and once she's down, the summon enemies will purged as well. Rinse and repeat and in no time, Lucy will encounter her demise, dying for good. Once Lucy has been taken care of, The Hollow Crow will be staggered and you can interact with it to deal the final blow. Get x1 Vestige Seed and x8 Umbral Scouring after the fight.

Not far from your current location, get the x1 Yorke's Ring. In this area, The Lightreaper will spawn and you will be forced to fight him. However, this is not going to be the final encounter with The Lightreaper thus, if you die here, he will leave the area and the fight will no longer continue. This is more of a theming fight to set the stage later on for the final bout. Just get the items in this area and move on. If you would like to know more about The Lightreaper or you are eager to know how to locate him to settle the score, head to our Bosses page or Bramis Castle Walkthrough.

Note that this is one of the required Stigma to progress the Dark Crusader Class side quest. If you are following this guide, this is the second Stigma in this area that you need soulflay so you can move on to the next.

Upon following the slope, you will realize that this is a shortcut back to the original outpost or camp which the Vestige of Svornil. That goes for this area and we pretty much covered everything that it has to offer. Access the Vestige and prepare to head out to the next area.

Useful Umbral Ending Remarks

It is worth noting that if players aim to acquire the Umbral Ending, the Fief of the Chill Curse area should be revisited once again. After acquiring and giving the Rune of Adyr to a non-hostile remnant in Mother's Lull, it will transform into the Withered Rune of Adyr. After defeating the Iron Wayfarer in front of Bramis Castle gates, and also defeating The Sundered Monarch in the castle's throne room, the following steps must be followed to progress and acquire the Umbral Ending. Players need to use the Umbral Seedpod on Melchior's body. After doing the said step, head to Fief of the Chill Curse so we can look for the Iron Wayfarer's presence in the Umbral Realm. To find him, from the Vestige of Svornil, access the ladders to reach the upper platforms. You will soon find yourself on the same road that we used when we first traversed this area.

This is the pathway filled with carriages and barrels. Follow the long road and eventually pass the wooden bridge, you will reach a barricaded gate where a ladder is situated near it. Access the ladder and the banner of the area will be displayed. Access the nearest stairs and transfer to Umbral. Follow the cliffs and eventually, you will find the Iron Wayfarer. Interact with him and use the Withered Rune of Adyr. This will end him and grant the player Harkyn's Umbral Parasite. This is a key item that is required to further progress the Umbral Ending.
