Where To Find Deathroots

Deathroots are located in different areas and will require you to advance quite a lot in the story if you want to acquire them all. Following are the location of all Deathroots:

Deathroot #1

The first Deathroot you can find is in Summonwater Village on the northeast side of Limgrave. In the village, there is Tibia Mariner, a field boss that drops Deathroot. The fight is relatively easy as the boss has a limited number of attacks, and you can also summon online players or a Spirit Ash.

Deathroot #2

The second Deathroot is located inside the Deathtouched Catacombs. This catacomb is located towards the northern side of Limgrave. You need to explore the catacomb and open the heavy gate. Going through the gate will allow you to face the boss, Black Knife Assassin. After defeating the boss, you need to open the chest right behind the boss inside the arena. Inside the chest, you will find the second Deathroot.

Deathroot #3

The third Deathroot is located to the east Liurnia of the Lakes. The closest site of grace to this area is Artist's Shack, at it north of here. After reaching the location marked on the map, you will see another Tibia Mariner. Defeating the boss here will get you the third Deathroot.

Deathroot #4

The fourth Deathroot is located inside the Black Knife Catacombs. Head inside the catacombs and makes your way to the lever controlling the heavy door. Once it opens, go through it to face Cemetery Shade accompanied by three skeletons. Defeat the boss and interact with the chest behind the boss inside the area. The fourth Deathroot will be acquired.

Deathroot #5

What To Do With Deathroots

You can turn in all the Deathroots you have collected to Gurranq Beast Clergyman. He resides inside Bestial Sanctum, located northwest of Caelid. You can reach there early by taking the waygate located near the Third Church of Marika in eastern Limgrave - D will mark this on your map after you find your first Deathroot and speak with him at the Roundtable.

After turning in a Deathroot, Gurranq will, in exchange, give you incantations, a Seal, a Weapon, and an Ash of War. After giving him the fourth Deathroot, he will become hostile and you will need to bring his health down to return him to an idle state. After giving the last Deathroot, he will give you a weapon upgrade item and go away.

Remember to give Gurranq Deathroots one at a time. Sit on a site of grace after every exchange just to make sure he does not bug out.

Following are all the items you receive in exchange for the Deathroots you give Gurranq:
