Blades of Fire: All Seneschal Statues Northern Hiss City

How to Reach the Northern Hiss City

The Northern Hiss City lies south of the Watchtower Domain, separated by a sandstorm. A withered stone with an inscription stands before it, but Adso cannot read the text due to its deteriorated state. To reach the Southern Hiss City, head north to the City of Curved Stones and walk directly into the sandstorm – this will transport you there.

To open the northern gate of the Southern Hiss City, you need to activate two blue orb dispensers located near the sealed gates on either side of the northern Anvil Gate. Start by heading to the arena and locating the green orb dispenser. Carefully dodge the green orb and move left, where you’ll encounter a group of Hiss enemies. Defeat them to acquire the Viper Key.

Return to the green orb dispenser near the arena and use the Viper Key to unlock a nearby gate. Once inside, dodge the green orb again and quickly climb the ladder behind the gate. At the top, you’ll find one of the blue orb dispensers that will teleport you to one of the chambers holding a blue button. Press this button to open the first gate.

For the second blue button, head west to a closed gate. To access it, squeeze through a narrow gap near the arena. Refer to your map to locate a winding staircase nearby. At the end of the staircase, you’ll find a lever that lowers the quicksand in the northwest section of the Southern Hiss City. Once the quicksand subsides, cross the area while avoiding the green orb dispenser. Climb the ladder beyond the quicksand to find another blue orb dispenser. This will lead you to the second gate with the blue button.

Press both blue buttons simultaneously to open the Anvil Gate. Interact with the inscription near the anvil to learn its content. Finally, return to the Serpents Amphitheater Anvil and use the inscription on the withered stone to gain access to the Northern Hiss City.

1 – Polearms Seneschal

Fight the Hiss just south of the Serpents’ Amphitheater to receive the Viper Key. Now you can open the gates in the east to reach a Polearms Seneschal.

2 – Sabers Seneschal

At the heart of Northern Hiss City lies a Sabers Seneschal, secured behind a gate that requires the Viper Key to unlock. To obtain the key, seek out and defeat Hiss enemies.

3 – Twins Seneschal

Just west of the previous Seneschal is a Twins Seneschal inside one of the round buildings.

4 – Swords Seneschal

This Swords Seneschal is in the structure west of the southern passage that leads to the Inscribed Stone Room Anvil.
