Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights — Ruined Keep and Knight Captain Julius guide

You've just defeated Hoenir in the Stockade. Now, my suggestion is to return to the Catacombs - Ossuary and go to the right. Use the grappling hook to quickly make your way to the top. Go right again and you'll reach an open area. You can cross the gap by double-jumping and air-dashing. This takes you to the Bastion Gates respite. Anyway, here's our guide to help you with the Ruined Keep level (also known as the King's Castle level) and the Knight Captain Julius boss fight in Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights. Note: For more information, check out our Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights guides and features hub. Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights - Ruined Keep level and Knight Captain Julius boss guide You can refer to the pages below for the parts that you need help with: Ruined Keep level: Map, important rewards, and spirit skills Knight Captain Julius boss fight Where do we go after this? Ruined Keep level: Map, important rewards, and spirit skills Let's talk about the important stuff that we can find in the Ruined Keep level of Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights. First, take a look at the map below: 1. You can reach this area from the Bastion Gates respite. Use the hook points and grapple to the upper-left exit. Here are a few tidbits: Spirit skill/miniboss: Fallen Sentinel - Keep using the grapple to reach the upper-left section. 30x Furious Blight - Use the grapple to reach a ledge. This has a doorway that lets you enter the Ruined Keep proper. The lower left exit in this area takes you to the submerged section that leads all the way back to the Cliffside Hamlet - Bridgehead respite. If you swim further to the left, you'll find a hook point for the grapple, but you can only reach it once you get the wall climb ability. Once you have that, you can get 800x Stagnant Blight. 2. Respite: Guest Chambers 3. Relic: Royal Aegis Crest - Inside a chest at the left-hand corner of this room. To the right, you'll find 30x Stagnant Blight, but you do need the wall climb ability to reach a nook. 4. Respite: Ruined Castle Cellar 5. This is a large open area with several rewards/collectibles: Relic: Priestess Doll. Spirit skill/miniboss: Castle Town Maiden. 100x Furious Blight (requires Knight Julius' Spectral Lance). 100x Stagnant Blight (requires Knight Julius' Spectral Lance). If you keep going to the left, you'll find a tower that connects to the spot where you fought Gerrod. But, this requires the wall climb ability. 6. Relic: Blightwreathed Blade - In a nook to the right. There's also a Chain of Sorcery here at the upper-right corner, but you need the wall climb ability. 7. Respite: Maelstrom Ramparts - There are lots of things that you can do here: 30x Stagnant Blight - Go to the left and jump down, but keep hugging the wall. You'll find a hidden nook. Relic: Decayed Crown - If you keep falling down (still hugging the wall), you should land on a wooden pole. The room to the right of this respite has a section that gets locked down (like many others in this zone). At the top-right ledge, though, you'll find 30x Furious Blight (this might require the wall climb and a bit of acrobatics). 8. This large chamber has some important stuff: Locked door/Stone Tablet - Climb a bit higher and check the right-hand side. Chain of Sorcery - You'll find this at the very top of this chamber by using the grapple. 9. To activate the lift, you'll first need to interact with the levers that can only be reached by going through the rooms to the left and right of this area. After reaching the next floor, you'll notice exits at the sides. There's also 1x Amulet Gem at the very top near the ceiling. However, you'll need a combination of the wall climb (Ulv/Twin Spires) and grappling hook (Hoenir/Stockade) perks, as well as the Verboten Champion and Incompetent Sinner skills (Verboten Domain). Grab the part of the wall that's jutting out on the left side, then use your jumps/uppercuts to go to the right. You should be able to grab the higher section of the wall by air-dashing to it. You'll then see the hook point right above you. 10. This is a wide-open area with a towering wall to the right: Amulet Fragment - At the top-right corner (use the grapple). 100x Stagnant Blight - There's a breakable part of the wall off to its side (near the grapple points). This allows you to reach the opposite section. Drop down to grab the rewards. You do need to wall climb to get back to the top. 800x Furious Blight - This one requires you to have the wall climb ability, as well as the Incompetent Sinner and Verboten Champion skills. From the wall near where you obtained the Amulet Fragment, use a combination of double jumps, air dashes, and the two spirit skills to reach the opposite side (the one closer to the exit that takes you to the King's Chambers respite in #12). Keep using these quirks as you make your way to the top of the left-hand side of this area. Then, cross the gap to reach the rightmost edge which has the reward. 11. This is a huge area with several rewards: Amulet Fragment - At the bottom where you'll find the centaurs. 100x Furious Blight - Use the grapples, air dash, and pop the Spectral Lance to break the pustulant wall at the upper-right section. Relic: Eldred's Ring - Clear out the knight mobs and go to the edge of the platform. Dash and make sure the Spectral Lance has gained enough momentum (two red flashes). This will destroy the large pustulant wall (seen below). 12. Respite: King's Chambers 13. Boss fight: Knight Captain Julius 14. Respite: Tower Alcove - You can reach this area from #10. There's a Priestess' Wish here to boost your healing prayer efficiency. You'll also notice hook points for your grapple, but you can't reach the top unless you have the wall climb ability. 15. Once you have the wall climb ability, though, you'll be able to get to this area: Multiple x10 Stagnant Blight nodes. Spirit skill/miniboss: One-Eyed Royal Aegis (seen below). All right, let's talk about the Knight Captain Julius boss fight in the next part of our Ruined Keep guide for Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights. Knight Captain Julius boss fight Let's discuss the Knight Captain Julius boss fight in Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights' Ruined Keep level. Knight Captain Julius has several attacks, and all of these could be parried. The problem, however, is that flubbing your parry will ensure that you're in for a world of hurt. His abilities can easily take a chunk of your HP. These abilities include lunging stabs with the lance, a backstep followed by crashing on the ground, and an AoE explosion. Your best bet is to keep your distance, firing projectiles or using familiars (i.e., Dark Witch Eleine, Hoenir, Western Merchant, or Castle Town Maiden). Melee attacks (i.e., Gerrod) will still drop him a lot faster, but you need to be careful. After defeating the boss, you'll receive the following: Knight Captain Julius - This skill allows you to stab multiple times, and you can move forward slightly as you're attacking. Dash - When you press the right trigger/RT while moving and keep it held down, Julius will carry Lily and speed up her movement. Piercing Spectral Lance - While dashing, press the "X" button on your gamepad so Julius can unleash a powerful thrust with the lance. This will break the weaker pustulant walls. However, if you dash for a longer period (i.e., two seconds), you'll gain more momentum denoted by red flashes. This allows you to break stronger/larger pustulant walls. Anyway, let's talk about what we should do with our new abilities in the next part of our Ruined Keep guide. Where do we go after this? Naturally, you'll want to revisit some of the areas in the Ruined Keep zone. Many of these rooms (mentioned in a previous section) have pustulant walls. For instance, the open area where you fought the Castle Town Maiden has lots of Furious and Stagnant Blights for you to pick up (seen below). Likewise, if you return to the Stockade, there are pustulant walls that you can destroy to pick up more resources. Again, certain pustulant barriers do require you to gather more momentum. It'll usually take a two-second, uninterrupted dash for this to work (you'll even notice two red flashes if you've got enough momentum). That means starting your dash further away from a larger pustulant wall that you need to break. In any case, my suggestion would be to return to the Bastion Gates respite. If you head to the right, you'll enter the Twin Spires zone of Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights. Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights is available via Steam.
