Siofra River imp statue (sword key elevator)

[lil dookie]

is it worth it to use the stone sword key and imp statue and activate the lift in the underground Sofia river first level ?

I saw messages about regret, so that's why i am asking so i dont waste a stonesword key (got few spare)

is there stuff behind it that i can't otherwise acquire by going to Caelid (still have to go there doing luirnia area first).

Do it, there are more Stonesword Keys in the game then Locks you could open.
Same goes for Golden Seeds, there are more in the gsme then you could use.

Going up the elevator leads to the giant jar-person you can catch glimpses of in Caelid. You get the "Great Jars Arsenal" for doing a trial. Accessible only from that elevator.

It allows you to access a part of the map where you can win a talisman after 3 NPC duels.
The talisman allows you to carry more stuff.

It leads you to a pretty good talisman in that area

[Rodrick]

it is a pretty hard set of npc duels so not for low lvl,

You guys spoiled it.
I tried to hide what he can get but you internet warriors are pathetic.

You can even say, a Great Talisman
One of my most used one for my Strength/Dex build

An outstanding greatshield is at the foot of the first giant once you get up there.

Some people don't mind spoilers.

Maybe OP would have been annoyed if he just blindly followed you and found nothing of use there.

he is right tho. Maybe we went a bit hard. It was cool to find the duels for myself. Still, no context provided

Ah okay thank you so i guess i will just use it than =) i read a bit but will close my eyes for now for the spoilers

If you play online the duels will be harder than offline. Just saying. Caelid has very uneven difficulty. Some is very hard. Avoid the giant dogs and the giant crows.

[Geargut]

You get plenty of keys, but that also isn't the only way to get to that area.

By the way, that lift takes TWO keys so make sure you have two so when you are being chased you can escape, and not be left standing there with your.... pickle in your hand.
