Warp from Renna's Rise to Ainsel River

To get to Lake of Rot, you need to go through Ainsel River Main, which can be accessed by warp from Renna's Rise. The "Ainsel River Main" can only be accessed by progressing through the Ranni Questline to a certain point, so refer to the above steps to advance through the Ranni Questline.

Continue Accessing Ainsel River Main & Head To Lake Of Rot

After the warp from Renna's Rise, follow the road south to reach Lake of Rot. At Nokstella, do not go inside the building, but go down into the river.

Near Nokstella Waterfall Basin Site of Grace

Location	Map

The Map Fragment of the "Lake of Rot" can be obtained from the corpse at the entrance, as long as you can reach the Site of Grace "Nokstella Waterfall Basin" from the Ainsel River Main.

How To Counter Rot Status

Bring As Many Preserving Boluses As You Can

The Lake of Rot causes the rot gauge to build up instantly, and once in Scarlet Rot status, the player suffers continuous damage until the gauge is removed. Since it is difficult to suppress the gauge buildup, it is recommended to use Preserving Boluses, which can remove the Servants Of Rot gauge.

Use Flasks To Heal Your HP

Even though you are affected by the Scarlet Rot state, this does not mean that you will die instantly as the damage from your HP will decrease slowly. For that, you can set your flasks to all Flask of Crimson Tears and try to drink it from time to time until you reach the next Site Of Grace.

How To Raise The Bridge

Open The 5 Switches In The Area

There is a switch gimmick at Lake of Rot, and when stepped on, a bridge appears. There are five switches, four on the way from Lake of Rot to Grand Cloister and one near Dragonkin Soldier of Nokstella in the east. Stepping on the four switches will take you to a higher level. The scaffold near Dragonkin Soldier of Nokstella is for fighting to avoid Scarlet Rot status.
