To find the Golden Arcs incantation, you need to have access to Scadu Altus, which happens after you clear Castle Ensis and defeat the main boss of the dungeon.

A short distance north of Castle Ensis is the Highroad Cross Site of Grace. Discover the grace, if you haven’t already, and then ride north along the road until you find a fork in the road that takes you to the east. After a few minutes of riding along this road, you’ll come across the Moorth Ruins Site of Grace.

Veer off to the east from the Moorth Ruins Site of Grace while keeping an eye out for the ruined buildings and a small crevice that opens into a hole in the ground.

Drop into the hole and navigate your way around to keep descending. Take your time to assess the jumps, as some of them can be deadly.

Eventually, you’ll find a treasure chamber with a large archway. Before jumping all the way down to the chamber’s level, you’ll want to take out the three enemies guarding this structure. Arrows or ranged spells can come in handy in this situation.

Once you’ve dealt with the enemies, enter the treasure chamber to acquire the Golden Arcs incantation from an open treasure chest.
