Tracking down every Seedbed Curse in Elden Ring is essential for players seeking to complete the Loathsome Dung Eater's questline and unlock the Blessing of Despair ending. These key items are scattered across hidden areas within the Lands Between, requiring thorough exploration of mid to late-game zones. Understanding where to find each curse ensures you do not accidentally miss vital quest steps during your playthrough.
Seedbed Curses Found in Leyndell Royal Capital
The capital city contains key curses that must be retrieved before major narrative progression alters the city structure. The first curse is located near the East Capital Rampart Site of Grace, accessible by taking an elevator down and climbing a ladder to reach a corpse. Another curse resides inside the Fortified Manor, sitting on a chair in the room that mirrors the Dung Eater's location at Roundtable Hold.
Navigating Volcano Manor for the Hidden Curse
In Volcano Manor, players can discover another Seedbed Curse tucked behind an imp statue door requiring a Stonesword Key. To reach this area, navigate past the Temple of Eiglay toward the teleporter room before turning back up the stairs. Once inside the large chamber, carefully drop down using hanging cages to reach the lowest level where the cursed corpse rests.
Exploring Elphael in Miquella's Haligtree
Two additional curses are hidden deep within Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree, both starting from the Prayer Room Site of Grace. Heading forward from the grace, players can jump over the railing onto a stone support beam to reach a balcony containing a cursed body. Continuing further along the main path toward the lower walkways leads down to a second room holding another curse.
Blackguard Big Boggart and Questline Completion
An additional Seedbed Curse can be acquired in the Outer Moat by completing Blackguard Big Boggart's questline before the Dung Eater invades. Players only need to collect five total curses to hand over to the Dung Eater in his sewer cell. Delivering these items completes the questline and grants the Mending Rune of the Fell Curse needed for his distinct ending.
