Blades of Fire Collectible Guide

#1 – Health Gem
Once you cross the bridge into The Ancient Garden, head southwest around the small structure with the Templars of the Sacred Steel inside, heading uphill until you find a curved wall with a hand crank to open the gate. Open the gate, then jump across to get the chest.

Note: If you still haven’t gotten your Eastern Sword forge scroll yet, feel free to hit the Templars to trigger combat. Unlike other Templars, these do not need an Iridescent Crow to come back to life, and they do not give Stamina Gems as a reward, but they do still count towards your 10 Templar kills to get the forge scroll.

#2 – Spears Seneschal
Due south from the Templars, follow the path to the end to find a Spears Seneschal on the edge of the cliff.

#3 – Fragmented Tablet Part (Need 2 Nerea’s Tears)
Due west of the Templars, you’ll find a Time Rune near a gate that has been bent out of shape by falling rocks. Equip a weapon that has the time rune attached, and interact with the rune to clear the rubble and allow the gate to move. Turn the nearby crank to raise the gate, then head down the path.

At the end of the path you’ll find another of Nerea’s Statues.

#4 – Life Cryptex
Once you reach the Doyen Graves Vantage anvil, look south along the edge of the cliff and you’ll see a path. Follow it down until it curves back to the south and ends in a cave with a ladder.

Climb down, and go in the first door that leads to a chamber with water on the floor and a rope leading upwards.

Climb up, and you’ll see a path leading upwards to the northwest. Bust through the rotted wall up there and you’ll be inside a chamber with the treasure chest.
