They mark the entrance.
Activate the Site of Grace 'Catacombs of the Tomb Forest' behind the entrance and you will come straight to a room that requires a Swordstone Key to open. Defeat the skeletons and you will find the Nomadic Warrior's Handbook 9 (unlocks: Grolltopf). The left passage will take you to the boss door.
Continue through the catacombs to the right, past more skeletons and back into a larger chamber. Take care of the skeleton archers, collect the materials and continue to the left. You will come to a corridor that is secured with a flamethrower.
Take cover in the alcove halfway down on the right and take 5x Human Bone Shards from the corpse. In the room with the flamethrower, continue left into a chamber where you first kill the skeletons and then take the talking head: 'Thank you' from the corpse.

If it happens anywhere else, you'll be in Liurnia in the Black Knife Catacombs . The graveyard schemes there are much more violent and have massive skeletal support. The boss in the Tombsward Catacombs starts off well.
Nevertheless, don't get caught up in close combat for too long. The Shade deals bleeding damage and has a few flailing attacks in store, which first eat up shields and then the red bar. Its Spit Trap that announces itself with a green orb above his head is also really nasty.
Avoid it, otherwise it will keep you trapped for agonizing seconds. Your rewards for defeating the Cemetery Shade in the Tombsward Catacombs are 2200 Runes and the ashes of Lhutel the Headless . Need more help? Jump back to our list of Elden Ring bosses or our Elden Ring walkthrough .
