Scorpion River Catacombs

The Scorpion River Catacombs sit at the Rauh Base, near the Ancient Ruins of Rauh. It is a classic catacomb crawl with a nasty twist: Basilisk statues that inflict Death Blight just by looking at you, so keep out of their line of sight.

Inside you will fight Imps, Catacombs Sorcerers and Messmer Soldiers, and you will also come across a lesser echo of Godwyn the Golden. Disabled Rosus candle statues lie near the entrance. At the end waits a Death Knight, a golden knight who swings a longhaft axe and calls on dragon cult lightning.
