Church District Walkthrough and Location

How to Get the Fire Knight's Seal

1
To reach the Shadow Keep Church District, start by dropping down the pit at Moorth Ruins and passing through Bonny Village. Cross the bridge to the east and loop around the plateau. You'll end up at the Church District Entrance if you keep following the road to the east gate of the Shadow Keep.
2
From the Church District Entrance, jump down the roof below you then go to the other side.

You'll need to jump again to the next rooftop, but you'll have to be careful as you might fall into the water at the center.

Now, go up the broken wall to your right to reach the ledge above.
3
Run towards the edge of this ledge to easily reach the next rooftop, then run to the left until you see another roof.
4
Jump down the roof below, onto the buttress on your left, and up to the next roof to find a large hole.
5
Drop down onto the beams below and down again on the floor below with the chandeliers.
6
Head west and turn left on the second doorway where you'll run into some bats.
7
Before you pass through the next doorway, climb the ladder on the right side and turn the wheel at the top. This will lower the water level in the church district and make the rest of it accessible.
8
Climb down the ladder again and drop down all the way to the street level.
9
Walk north to the entrance of the church in the middle and head straight to the Marika statue on the other side. Wego, Fire Knight Elder and a few exploding enemies will be guarding the room. Once it's clear, find the Fire Knight's Seal on a corpse behind the statue.
