You'll find an optional boss, Crucible Knight Siluria, who upon defeat, will drop Siluria's Tree. Take the nearby tree roots up to the higher cliff and turn westward. If you take the spirit spring up to the building nearby, you can find a Stonesword Key. Head further southwest and you'll find a Ghost Glovewort (6) by the side of the cliff. From the Walking Mausoleum, head southwest to find a Somber Smithing Stone (7) in a ruin. There are also several spirit springs around to help you get up to the roofs of buildings or as a shortcut up to the higher cliff ledges. Up here in the northern section, much of the navigation is done by climbing tree roots. If you're having a tough time grounding it, take a look at the notes section below for some tips. Head directly north and you'll be able to spot the Walking Mausoleum. Of course, you can choose to defeat them individually instead to gain their unique drops. While it stands, a bunch of Mausoleum Knights and Mausoleum Soldiers will be patrolling a majority of the northern section of Deeproot Depths, making navigation dangerous. Before we start exploring again it's recommended to ground the Walking Mausoleum in this area.

If you took the coffin, grab the Ainsel River Main Site of Grace and teleport back to The Nameless City Site of Grace. This coffin takes you to Ainsel River Main. Head to the western edge of the waterfall and you'll find another coffin you can rest in. Within this mess of bodies, you can also find a Ghost Glovewort (5). By looting the bodies, you can get yourself two Golden Rune (8), a Golden Rune (9), two Smithing Stone (4), a Clarifying Boluses, five Human Bone Shards, and a Nascent Butterfly. West of this Site of Grace, in the water and among the ruins, are multiple corpses strewn around. Head southwest and you'll come across The Nameless City Site of Grace. On the western side of the ruins, you'll find a Teardrop Scarab that drops a Somber Smithing Stone (6). Inside the room is an enemy guarding the Ash of War: Vacuum Slice. Head back to the large ruin and on the way, you can find a Ghost Glovewort (5). There's a cave behind this waterfall and defeating the Runebear inside nets you the Prince of Death's Cyst. With the map-making navigation easier, head hard east towards a waterfall. On the way, you'll be able to pick up five Hefty Beast Bones and a Ghost Glovewort (5), and in the gazebo itself, you will find the Map (Deeproot Depths). Further north is a larger ruin structure where you'll find a gazebo. Head north to find a ruin filled with Basilisks, a Smithing Stone (6), and a Rune Arc. Further west is the Deeproot Depths Site of Grace and a Palm Reader right next to the cliff. Be sure to grab the Ghost Glovewort (4) nearby too. The bodies they're guarding have three Warming Stones, a Golden Rune (6), and a Smithing Stone (4). When you get back on land, just slightly ahead are some flying Giant Ants. Head back to the roots and cross to the other side. (You can see the exit with an item further ahead, the entrance is closer to where you began, at the end of a branch.) Get to the end and you'll find the Elden Stars Incantation.

While you're crossing the roots, look to your north-west and you'll be able to spot a cave filled with Giant Ants. From here, the way forward is by crossing the nearby tree roots to the west. In the area, you'll also be able to find a Ghost Glovewort (4) and a Teardrop Scarab that drops the Ash of War: Golden Land when defeated. Defeat it and it'll drop the Staff of the Avatar.

Head west from this Site of Grace and right off the bat you'll encounter an Erdtree Avatar. Taking the coffin from Siofra Aqueduct brings you to a spot just across the Great Waterfall Crest Site of Grace in Deeproot Depths.
