Elden Ring: How to Find Dung Eater Inside Sewer Gaol

Elden Ring is FromSoftware's latest game, and it, like previous Souls titles, includes a number of mysterious objectives with little clues. It is up to the players to interact with the NPCs and try new things (or look up some guides). Even if you are able to activate and continue through some quests, some of the later indications in the quest tale can be highly vague, such as the instance of the Dung Eater, who advises you to battle him in the sewers but gives no specific location.

First location of the Dung Eater and starting the quest

The Dung Eater is the first task in Elden Ring's Dung Eater questline, which begins in the Roundtable Hold, Table of Lost Grace hub location.

How to find a Seedbed Curse to get the key to the Sewer-Gaol

Once you've found a Seedbed Curse key item, offer it to the Dung Eater and he'll give you the Sewer-Gaol key. You can find a Seedbed Curse at the Fortified Manor of Leyndell Royal Capital if you don't already have one. You must confront the Dung Eater in the sewers beneath Leyndell, according to the Dung Eater.

Where to find the Dung Eater

You'll be able to enter the Subterranean Shunning Grounds region under Leyndell Royal Capital once you obtain this key. Teleport to the Avenue Balcony Site of Grace in Leyndell to gain access to this place. Cross the door and descend the steps. After passing through the door, turn left and drop down to the area below. You should jump off the roofs of the houses first, then lower yourself. You'll come to a well that's surrounded by zombies. You'll find a locked door down this well.

Unlocking the Underground Roadside site of grace

You must first jump down and forward after passing through the door. To access the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds, take the first right and proceed forward. You'll run into rats. Continue forward until you reach a ledge. At the ledge, turn left and look for a ladder to descend. You may also simply jump down. Be cautious because attackers will try to shoot you from behind as soon as you fall down. You'll locate the Underground Roadside site of grace if you take the first left via a door down there.

Dung Eater’s cell location

Return through the door you just passed and turn left to continue along the tunnel after activating the site of grace. Continue onward on the left side of the tunnel, keeping an eye out for the adversaries. As you go further, you'll come across a hole in the sewage grid. There's a drop-off point. After you drop, you'll be facing a wall; move to the left of that wall and continue forward.

You'll come across several rats and a left turn if you go forward. Following that turn, you'll come across some deadly gigantic plants; avoid their attacks as you continue forward. A ladder will be visible. Be careful there, for an adversary will snipe you from above with magic beams as you approach the ladder.

Stopping and walking as you approach the ladder is an excellent strategy to avoid it. In that manner, the beams will be aimed directly at the ladder, allowing you to climb safely. When you've finished ascending, turn right and you'll find a jail door.

In the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds, this is where the Dung Eater can be found. You can kill the Dung Eater for his equipment if you kill him there. You can receive the Mending Rune of the Fell Curse if you keep him alive and complete his questline, which unlocks a new ending if you keep him alive and complete his questline.
