Where to Get Seedbed Curse Elden Ring Location Guide

Navigating the vast world of Elden Ring often leads players toward complex side quests that unlock alternate endings for the Lands Between. Among these, the questline for the Loathsome Dung Eater requires collecting a specific key item known as the Seedbed Curse. Understanding where to discover these cursed items ensures you can progress his narrative smoothly without missing crucial quest triggers.

Finding Seedbed Curses in Leyndell Royal Capital

The royal city contains two primary Seedbed Curses before reaching endgame narrative events. From the East Capital Rampart Site of Grace, proceed past the gargoyles down into the building, taking the elevator down to find a corpse strapped to a chair. Another key item rests inside the alternate version of the Roundtable Hold near the Fortified Manor, situated in the room matching the Dung Eater's location.

Players should complete these areas early because defeating story bosses in Farum Azula alters the capital's environment significantly. If the city turns to ash, alternative pathing is required to salvage missed items.

Searching Volcano Manor and Optional Encounters

Volcano Manor hides another Seedbed Curse deep within its secret corridors. After reaching the hallway near the teleporter to Rykard, double back up the stairs to find a door locked by a Stonesword Key. Descending through the cage puzzle room leads to a corpse holding the item at the bottom level.

Additionally, following Blackguard Big Boggart's questline to the outer moat of Leyndell triggers an invasion. Defeating the attacker or progressing Boggart's dialogue yields an extra Seedbed Curse for your inventory.

Exploring Elphael Brace of the Haligtree

The final two Seedbed Curses are located in the late-game legacy dungeon of Elphael. Starting from the Prayer Room Site of Grace, navigate down the walkways past defensive enemies to drop down onto a hidden balcony. Room exploration in this elevated section reveals a corpse containing the fifth curse.

A second curse in Elphael can be reached by following the main path downward toward the lower levels near the Cleanrot Knights. Navigating these treacherous ledges rewards patient players with enough items to finish the quest.

Completing the Dung Eater Questline

Once you gather at least five Seedbed Curses, return to the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds to interact with the Dung Eater. Presenting these items fulfills his dark ambitions and unlocks the Mending Rune of the Fell Curse. Using this mending rune after the final boss battle secures the Blessing of Despair ending.
