As you ascend the second set of steps, keep in Elden Ring Runes mind that the area is guarded by two turrets and multiple soldiers who can throw firebombs. If you are able to use a ranged attack you can pick off the soldiers in the turrets from afar however, otherwise you should just sprint as quick as you can to the bottom of the stairs to escape their range. From here you can scale the rocks that are piling up against the wall, and then jump over the gap to reach the posts where the turrets are located to kill their crews and find the Arbalest.
Continue through the next open area , where you'll meet another large number of soldiers. Similar to the courtyard , you should draw them out in a slow manner, but be careful not to get into the way of the huge lion adversary at the side of your path. If you gaze down along the way, you'll be able observe the front gate as well as the final Spot of Grace from here but do not run towards it since there are a few more turrets in the corner ready to blow you away. Instead sneak along the wall to the right, where they'll not be able to spot you, then climb up onto their platform and take out all the turret operators, as well as loot the Smithing Stone [2] and Smithing Stone [1] on their platform.
When all the soldiers are gone, you are able to buy Elden Ring Items take all the items that are located at this gate ( Ballista Bolt x3, Golden Rune [1], and Golden Rune [2] ). Then, enter the gate on the hill just next to the front gate to locate the Spot of Grace, a Golden Rune [5], as well as the mechanism that opens the gate. Go through the door behind the Spot of Grace to find the Simple Garb of the Commoner.
