#1 – Daggers Seneschal
In the entrance hall of The Crimson Fort, find a Daggers Seneschal behind the stairs.
#2 – Stamina Gem
On the balcony above the entrance hall is a treasure chest, right above the door.
#3 – Health Gem
Right across from the ladder that leads to the Cellars anvil, there is a crack in the wall that can be smashed through, leading into an underground cavern.
You’ll find the treasure chest right next to the wall along the path. This will be the same room you first see the face of the Bony Prince.
#4 – Stamina Gem
Right after you start following the Bony Prince, he will lead you to a spiral staircase. Instead of following him, look to the west to see a large room with a Templar of the Sacred Steel in the middle of it.
Strike it, and an Iridescent Crow will appear above you. Climb the nearby ladder, then cross the wooden planks to find the crow on top of a nearby platform. Get as close as you can to him by pressing against the wall, and then the crow will swoop down and activate the Templar. Go back down to the floor and kill the Templar to get the stamina reward.
#5 – Health Gem
Head back up the ladder, cross the plank, and this time head all the way to the west until you reach a hole that leads outside.
Go out and head east across the roof, then shimmy across a narrow ledge to find a window leading back inside.
Drop down and find a crack in the west wall leading to a small enclosure.
Inside will be a treasure chest. To get back out, find a hole in the floor against the north wall and drop down.
#6 – Health Gem
Back in the room with the spiral staircase, east of the room where you fight the Templar, look to the southeast side of the room and you’ll see one of the windows isn’t covered with a lattice. Go 0utside and you’ll be on the roof of the floor below. Next to the door is a place where you can drop through a hole in the roof.
The inside of the tower on this floor is a simple circular maze. There are three rings, but it is mostly open. Go into the building and follow the outer ring around to the north until it hits a wall and follow it around the corner to the southwest.
Follow the ring as it reverses course on the middle ring until there’s a panel sticking out of the wall marking your turn into the inner ring. Turn into it and follow it to the northwest. When there is an opening to the northwest, go in and you’ll see a doorway that leads back outside to the northeast.
Go back out to the balcony and follow it around to the southeast where it will end at the chest.
#7 – Stamina Gem
Return to the middle ring of the maze and follow it to the southwest until it opens to the right and you can turn into the outer ring and follow it back to the northwest. Follow the ring until it dead-ends right at the chest.
#8 – Greatswords Seneschal
Just after you reach the Cellar’s Roof anvil, the Bony Prince will show you a way into the Great Tower. Once inside, he will head up the stairs to the left. Instead go to the right, and you will find the Greatswords Seneschal at the south end of a covered balcony.
#9 – Life Cryptex
Next to the balcony is a stairway down to a lower level. At the bottom of the stairs you’ll see a barricaded doorway to the north. Get closer and you’ll see that you can slip through the boards.
Inside, you’ll see a door to the north that you’ll need the Key of the Lord to open. Inside this room is the treasure chest, right next to our next collectible.
#10 – Spears Seneschal
Standing right next to the treasure chest is a Spears Seneschal.
#11 – Twins Seneschal
Return to the bottom of the stairs, and now take the door to the south. This will lead to an outside path that leads down to a Twins Seneschal.
#12 – Stamina Gem
Go back to where the Bony Prince is leading you, and where he ducks through a hole in the wall that is too small for you to follow, you’ll be in the same room as a Templar of the Sacred Steel. Hit him with a weapon to show the Iridescent Crow’s location.
Coincidentally, the Iridescent Crow is back at the bottom of the staircase that led to the previous collectible.
Approach the crow, and he’ll take off the way you just came, all the way back to the templar. Kill them and you’ll receive the Stamina Gem.
#13 – Spears Seneschal
On the northwest side of the room you fought the Templar in, is the next Spears Seneschal.
#14 – Life Cryptex
From the room where you fought the Templar, hear north west up some stairs to a room with a round table. In the back of the room, you’ll see that one of the windows is open. When you approach it, you will be prompted to jump across a large gap, landing on a wooden walkway.
Follow the walkway to a door locked by the Key of the Lord. Open it up, and pass through the room until you’re back outside again and you’ll see the chest against the wall.
#15 – Spears Seneschal
Follow the Bony’s Prince’s path through the Fort, and he will lead you up a rope and then a couple ladders. When you’re back outside the tower, turn to the right (northeast) to find a balcony below that you can drop down to.
Follow the balcony all the way around to the other side of the tower, then climb up some rocks to find a door back inside. You’ll see the chest straight ahead, and when you’ve got the Stamina Gem, you can drop down to the platform below to get back to the ladders.
#16 – Forge Cryptex
After you get the cinematic of the Bony Prince showing you around his room, go back down to the ground floor of the Library Tower. The bottom floor of the Library Tower is smashed, allowing you to see down to the rocks below. Drop down and you’ll find this treasure chest in the open. After grabbing the Cryptex, head south to the edge of the cliff, then east to find a rope you can climb. This will take you to the roof over the entrance, allowing you to drop back down to the path.
#17 – Spears Seneschal
Just inside the door to the Library Tower you’ll find the next Spears Seneschal.
#18 – Health Gem
Climb up to the third floor of the tower for another cinematic. After Adso translates the book in the Library Tower, a window will open allowing you passage out to the roof.
Just to the west of that door is the treasure chest.
#19 – Twins Seneschal
Instead of going out the window, find another ladder to the fourth floor on the south side of the building. You’ll find yourself on a wooden platform overlooking the lower floors of the tower. Follow the platform to find another ladder to the fifth floor.
At the top of a long sloping ramp, you’ll find the Twins Seneschal on the sixth floor next to a massive orrery.
#20 – Fragmented Tablet Piece (Need 2 Nerea’s Tears)
Climb up the next ramp to the seventh floor, and you’ll find a ladder that leads up to a platform with a Nerea Statue on top of it.
#21 – Nerea’s Tear / Blue Gem
Next to the statue of Nerea is a rope you can climb to reach an eighth-floor platform that has a ladder to the roof of the Library Tower. On the roof you’ll find the body of another Paladin of the Aurora.
Later when you reach the roof above the throne room, on the back of a giant statue’s head you’ll find the rune that tells you his name: Dharas, the Paladin of the Dawn.
Return to the body to have Adso perform the ritual to put him to rest, leaving Nerea’s Tears behind.
#22 – Health Gem
Back on the third floor of the Library Tower, squeeze out the window that Adso opened and you’ll be on a rock ledge that leads to a place where you can jump across to the roof of the Great Tower. On the north side of the tower, find the hole in the roof that has a tree growing out of it and drop down to the floor below you.
In the room you’ll find a treasure chest with a Health Gem inside. Once you have the gem, go to the south side of the room and you’ll find a wall you can smash through to escape.
#23 – Health Gem
Once inside the Great Tower, you’ll find a chest near the place where Nurses will take the Bony Prince when kidnapped inside the tower.
#24 – Sabers Seneschal
From the Hollow Hall Entrance anvil, head up the stone ramp at the other side of the room, and through the hole in the broken door to the north.
From there go west to the first door you’ll find, and the Sabers Seneschal will be in that room.
#25 – Daggers Seneschal
On the northwest side of the ground floor of the Great Tower, you’ll find the Daggers Seneschal by a balcony.
#26 – Health Gem
Head southwest from the Daggers Seneschal until you reach a dead end, then turn southeast and look down to find a place where you can drop down to the floor below.
From where you drop head southwest until you reach the treasure chest. Head in the other direction to find a weak wall to bust through to make your escape.
#27 – Health Gem
On the east side of the Great Tower’s third floor, there is a doorway that has been partially blocked by fallen rocks. Squeeze through, then go out an open doorway to the north to find a rope bridge.
Cross the bridge to find the treasure chest.
#28 – Forest Dye
Once you have the Key of the Lord, you can unlock the doors beneath the Great Tower’s Rooftop anvil. Inside are two collectibles. First the treasure chest contains Forest Dye for your outfits.
#29 – Sabers Seneschal
Right next to the Forest Dye treasure chest, is the Sabers Seneschal.
#30 – Health Gem
From the Eagles Bridge anvil, head east along the wooden platform until you hit grass, then go down and west under the platform.
You’ll find a door in the south wall leading to the treasure chest.
#31 – Health Gem
Next climb the stairs inside the Eagles Bridge tower. Near the top will be a doorway that leads outside. Go out and you’ll find a rope you can climb. Go up the rope, and then up a ladder to reach a window you can enter through.
Drop down and you’ll find the treasure chest inside.
#32 – Polearm Seneschal
Head to the northernmost tower of The Crimson Fort, and under it you will find a crack that leads into a cave.
Follow that cave until it ends, then jump across a small gap to land near the Polearm Seneschal.
#33 – Stamina Gem
Go back outside, and follow the path around the tower to the left. Keep following the path until you reach the inside of the tower. Look inside along the base of the north wall to find a hole that you can climb down into.
Head south into the base of the tower to find this chest. Drop through a hole in the floor to get out.
#34 – Twins Seneschal
Go back up to the tower again, and this time look for a staircase to the east of the hole in the corner you dropped through for the previous collectible. Go to the top of the stairs and you’ll find a door that leads outside to the west. You’ll be on a balcony that will allow you to jump across a small gap to the north.
On the other side of the gap follow the path west and you’ll find another door locked with the Key of the Lord. Unlock it and you’ll find two collectibles inside. First is the Twins Seneschal.
#35 – Forge Cryptex
Right next to the Twins Seneschal is a treasure chest with a Forge Cryptex inside.
#36 & 37 – Stamina Gem (2)
Go back inside the tower, and on the second floor you will find a passage leading north that will be filled with undead. Follow this passage all the way to the end, where you will find a room with a hole in the floor. Drop down into the cave below.
The cave will stretch to the north until it meets another passage going west and east. First go west to open up your escape route, just to make it easy on yourself if you get overwhelmed with undead. Then head back to the east to find two Templars of the Sacred Steel.
This will put the iridescent crow on the map for you to find, and it looks like it’s all the way back by the hole you had to drop through to get here. Backtrack through the newly opened western passage, and get back to the second floor of the tower. Approach the crow, and it will make a beeline for the hole in the floor.
Head back to the templars and destroy them. Each one will give you a Stamina Gem when they die.
#38 – Stamina Gem
From the Ancient Garden Balcony anvil, head down the hallway to the northeast, then turn left to travel northwest. Follow this path until it reaches a spiral staircase headed down, and halfway down the stairs you’ll find a rope hanging down that you can climb.
This will put you on the roof of the throne room. Head to the southermost corner of the roof to find the chest.
#39 – Health Gem
Go back to the bottom of the rope, and continue downwards. At the bottom of the stairs, turn right and keep going down.
At the bottom of that staircase go straight ahead and look for a door on the right. Inside this undead packed dungeon, look for a cell with the door open to the southeast. Go inside, and there will be a hole in the north wall.
Squeeze through the hole and you’ll find the chest in this small cavern.
That’s 100% of the collectibles you can find in The Crimson Fort area in Blades of Fire.
