Cliffside Walkway at a Glance
- Two bells: each of Cliffside Walkway Entrance and Cliffside Walkway Overlook acts as its own checkpoint.
- Gate Key: close to the Overlook, the archers have the Mandate Valley Gate Key beside them.
- Shortcut: kick over a ladder by the Entrance to open up a shortcut.
- Collectibles: along the way you can find a Memory Flower, a Blackstone Fragment and a Guardian Idol Fragment (Arm).
- Order: Sunset Path comes before this area, and Mass Grave comes after it.

Closer look
Cliffside Walkway Overlook
Keep moving across the scaffolds until you reach an elevator and ride it upward. Veer to the right, dash beside the wall, and the Overlook bell is dead ahead.
Picking up the key opens the next section.
Exiting the walkway
Once you hold the key, open the next section and proceed via Mass Grave in the direction of the battlefield.
Routes and movement
Cliffside Walkway Entrance
Starting at the item by the huge statue head on Sunset Path, keep going to reach the scaffolding. Straight up the ladder is the Entrance bell.
Leave the bell and follow the trail to the bigger scaffolding area. Go up a little, then take the path down on the right, where a Memory Flower rests beside a ladder. Kicking that ladder down creates a shortcut to use afterwards.
Recommended paths
This bell has three collectibles
- Blackstone Fragment: cross the bridge, then enter the gateway ahead. Knock the right-hand ladder down with a kick, and leap off the cliff ledge's far right edge onto the scaffolds beneath.
- Guardian Idol Fragment (Arm): get over the bridge, then hop onto the other one to your right. Walk across it to find the fragment sitting upon a tiny shrine.
- Mandate Valley Gate Key: starting at the shrine, recross the bridge and ascend the giant ladder. Turn right to find the key lying on the ground next to the archers who fired on you before.
