How to Get Genessa The Wayward
Sester Censer — southeast of the Outskirts of Mammon.
- Begin by teleporting to the outskirts of Mammon. Then, head south toward the Road of Absolution.
- Sprint past the Brigands and turn left just before you reach the Road of Absolution.
- Sprint past the enemies and keep heading right, to where the pulley is. Keep moving forward and follow the path.
- Continue heading right and follow the sloped path downward. Grisha hunters will start to appear here, so move in a zigzag pattern to avoid their arrows.
- Once you reach the bottom area, look to the left and you'll find an arch with a Grisha Hunter on it. Head towards that path as it leads to the first Bone Gat that you need to enter.
- Continue following the path to find a Bone Gate at the end. Watch out for Grisha Hunters who will jump out from the left side of the arch as you enter it.
