Maw of Sedor

The scenery changes suddenly once you enter the Maw: a huge cavern opens up in front of you, with a canyon splitting it in half and a series of Ayleid ruins beyond it. More immediately, two bandits and three   inhabit the ruins just outside the door, and you can head east from here, defeating a bandit on the way, to a wooded rocky outcrop with a chest. Head back towards the door and then down, north and then east, jumping down into the canyon. From here, quickly head northwest: in the far western corner is an Ayleid chest. 

Track back and press on past an overturned tree and into the ruins: two Ayleid skeletons await. To the south is a door back to Sedor, which you will use on the way back. For now, jump up onto the nearby rocks and then head north: you'll find an   (boss-level) and further on a chest. Head back the way you came and press north into the ruins proper, battling past two   and looting a nearby chest. Head across the bridge to the north and make sure to jump down on the western side to access another chest. Across the bridge are two more Pelinaga and the door to the Depths. If you continue a bit further south and west, you will find a final skeleton and chest.

When arriving back from the depths, you will emerge on a ledge in the eastern side of the cavern, near the Ayleid bridge. From here, jump down and make your way to the southern door for a quick exit back to Sedor.

Depths of Sedor

You are now back in a standard Ayleid ruin: the first room holds one undead, while the next contains four as well as a welkynd stone. The third room is guarded by two undead enemies and has three passages leading out north, east and south. The first two are barred so head south, battling past another two undead enemies. You will then arrive on ledge with a welkynd stone, separated by icy water from a corridor with three undead, including one boss-level adonai-Pelinaga guarding a boss chest. Rush across the ice blocks to fight them and when you're done, plunge into the icy waters to loot a chest. The western end of the corridor is collapsed but can just about jump through to access a coin purse of   beyond. 

Head back east, battle your way past two undead, loot a chest and you'll arrive at the other side of the northern passage of the third room. Press the button on the wall to open the northern and eastern gates. Head through the latter and dispatch two more undead before looting the boss chest in the room to the north. Press south, battling past another two undead enemies until you arrive on the upper level of a large room, guarded by a further two undead. 

From here, you can observe the room below, dominated by a throne with a dead Ayleid sat on it. As you make your way down and walk around, two waves of two undead each will emerge from alcoves on either side. Once they are all defeated, the boss-level adonai-Pelinaga rises from his throne for one last battle. Loot from his body the   to the nearby boss chest and head for the door back to the Maw.
