Route Flowchart
Screenshot Walkthrough
Investigate Glenbright Manor
Enter the manor carefully and survive the ambush. Search for the surviving servant, then use the information to follow the trail of Count Grace and the missing Greymanes.
Follow the Trail
Use the Lantern to track the route after the manor. Expect repeated ambushes as you close in on the Reed Devil. Heal between fights rather than assuming the next stretch will be quiet.
Boss Strategy
The Reed Devil is dangerous when you let the fight become chaotic. Keep the camera stable, clear summoned pressure when needed, and punish after obvious committed attacks. If he retreats or repositions, do not chase blindly into his minions.
Quick Tips
- Lantern tracking matters more than raw speed.
- Expect ambushes after major clues.
- Save high-value healing for the boss, not the manor guards.
