How to Get Sariel The Endless

Requires verification (southern region, near Clockwork Scythe).

As the Clockwork Scythe is located at the southern edge of the map, start by teleporting to the Outskirts of Mammon Beacon.
From the Outskirts of Mammoth beacon, follow the path towards the Road of Absolution. Keep heading south until you reach the bone gate, and use it to teleport to Castigator's Keep.
Keep heading south and you'll see a Knight of Mammon near the gate. Run past him and turn left toward the foul knights.You don't have to fight them, so keep following the wooden path toward the second Bone Gate.
Use the second Bone Gate to reach the next area. As soon as you arrive, head left immediately and use the geyser to reach the upper area.
As soon as you reach the upper area, Look to the right and follow the path that leads downward, guarded by a Necropede.
Continue following the path to the left, which is guarded by the Infested Stalker. You can safely ignore it.Keep moving straight until you reach a stone ledge that can be used as a bridge.
