Tips for the Ancient Circle

The undead encounter can be dangerous if you reach the area very early. Bring enough healing items and avoid spending all of your stamina on attacks.

Greatswords have a slower attack rhythm, so leave enough stamina to dodge or block after your attacks. Also avoid rushing into groups of undead; separate enemies whenever possible.

Because The Blood of Dawnwalker has a time-based quest system, consider whether the activity fits into your current objectives before making the trip. The Exquisite Greatsword is useful, but you don't need to abandon an urgent quest to get it.
