The first step on the way to Charo's Hidden Grave will be to find the entrance to the Dragon's Pit. A good orientation point will be to start from the Site of Grace called Pillar Path Waypoint. It is located south of Castle Ensis.
Look south and move along the designated road. You will recognize the correct route thanks to the headless dragon statues that decorate the roadside.
Continue along the path until you reach a cave entrance lit by a torch. Step inside and get ready to cross the underground passage.
Dragon's Pit

There are plenty of undead, respawning enemies waiting for you in the dragon's lair. You can fight them, but if you want to quickly traverse the cave system, it is also possible to avoid these battles. In this case, do not take your finger off the sprint button and do not stop until the very end of the cave.
In the first cave, feel free to jump down the slope and follow the corridor to the left. Be careful, because around the corner there is another enemy who will try to jump at you. You can avoid it with a quick roll.
Keep running until you reach a room lit by bonfires on pillars. Head to the hole in the wall opposite the abyss.
Jump down to the room below (you will take some damage in the process). Run up the stairs into the darkened cave.
A large enemy will be waiting for you in the cave. You can fight the beast or run away from it. Head to the hole in the floor in the right corner of the room. Jump into the room below.
Keep heading down (to the left) until you reach a large room with an altar.
Approach the gaping chasm in front of the altar and then... jump down. You will not take fall damage. You will find yourself in a tunnel leading outside.
Before leaving the caves, however, you must fight a boss - the Ancient Dragon Man. The arena with this enemy is located directly in front of the landing area after the leap of faith.
Head straight ahead through the tunnel and activate the Site of Grace (Dragon's Pit Terminus) along the way. A dozen or so meters further, you will leave the cave system and enter an open space.
The Road to Charo's Hidden Grave

Jump on your horse and follow the road straight ahead. Carefully go down the sharp rocks until you reach a shallow lake below . On your first visit, you will encounter a boss here - the Ghostflame Dragon . It is an identical beast to the one you will encounter on the Graveyard Plain. More about this enemy can be found on the How to defeat the Ghstflame Dragon boss? page of our guide
The open nature of the arena means that if you don't feel like fighting, you can try to escape from the dragon.
Take the path south. After driving along a route full of electric sheep, you will come to another interesting place - a giant corpse of a dead dragon. Activate the Site of Grace in front of them (Great Altar of Dragon Communion). You can also talk to the NPC here, the Dragon Priestess.
Run over the dead beast's body, heading west. A little further you will notice characteristic red flowers growing around and you will finally have reached the location you are looking for - Charo's Hidden Grave.
Before further exploration, we recommend that you activate the Site of Grace located in the vast, scarlet clearing.
