How to get to Scadu Altus
Normal route: To get to Scadu Altus, you'll need to complete Castle Ensis in Gravesite Plain. After beating Rellana, Twin Moon Knight, the doors leading off her boss arena will open out to the rear of the castle, onto Scadu Altus.
Hidden route: If Rellana is proving too difficult for you, though, there is a secret way to get to Scadu Altus that doesn't involve beating one of the main bosses. From the Site of Grace 'Castle Front' in Gravesite Plain, head south-east down the valley, past the squabbling trolls. Go under the large stone archway above until you come to some poison bogs. Turn left and ride along the cliff-face, until you've passed a large plant on your left.
Just beyond this plant, you'll see a Sealed Spiritspring, which looks like a large air vent with a pyramid of stones inside it. You'll need to unseal this before you can use it, and thankfully, the seal is very close by - it's just up above you on the rocky ledge. Look for another pyramid of stones, this time surrounded by a circle of pebbles, and smash it to unseal the Spiritspring. Return to the vent below, and use your horse Torrent to leap up the cliffs. You'll eventually arrive at the Fort of Reprimand, which is a short dungeon you'll need to get through before you start exploring Scadu Altus at will.
