How to Get Eredrim The Venerable
Citadel of Penance — defeat The Warden, northwest of Widow Overlook.
- Begin by heading to Gloomshade Grove, which is located west of Widow Overlook. You can go directly to the second location or play it safe and visit the Gloomshade Grove Beacon first.
- Head to the lake southeast of the Gloomshade Grove Beacon and defeat the Bloodcursed Lithopod. It will drop the Citadel Gate Lever, which you need to access the Citadel of Penance.
- Head to the Gloomshade Grove Beacon and travel west to the Citadel of Penance. Use the Citadel Gate Lever you obtained to access the switch on the right and enter.
- Once you're inside, immediately head all the way to the right to access the Citadel of Penance Beacon.
- Head back to the central area and jump down to the lower levels. Head to the elevator on the right side of the lower area and ride it to get to the upper levels.
- Once you reach the top floor, you will see a wide open area as well as an interactive object on the ground. Be prepared, as The Warden will drop down as soon as you approach the object, which marks the start of the fight.
