Stormhill
The windswept ridge between Limgrave and Stormveil, home to Margit, the Stormhill Shack, Warmaster's Shack and the path round the castle walls.
- Suggested level: 10–25
Bosses
- Margit, the Fell Omen: Blocks the road to Stormveil just past the Castleward Tunnel grace; Rogier can be summoned at the fog gate. Margit's Shackle from Patches pins him down twice, and he leaves a Talisman Pouch.
- Bell Bearing Hunter: Only at night: he ambushes you inside the Warmaster's Shack where Knight Bernahl trades. Keep a shield up against his long sword strings and strike when he pauses.
- Deathbird: After dark it stalks the ruins a short way south-west of the Warmaster's Shack. Holy damage finishes it quickly; keep moving to avoid its cane slams.
- Crucible Knight: Trapped in the Stormhill Evergaol south of the Stormhill Shack. Block its sword with a shield, punish after each combo and roll sideways when it sweeps with its tail.
- Black Knife Assassin: Lurks invisibly at the end of the Deathtouched Catacombs. Listen for its footsteps, block its quick dagger chains and press hard, since it has little health.
