Quick answer: In the Main Hall, the Witch’s Knot is inside a dark iron chest on a ledge carpeted in red, in the West Hall’s upper-left gallery. Start at the Elevator Tower Mirror of Life and go left into West Hall, then turn left again. Pull the lever to open the gate.


Where the Witch’s Knot is

The chest rests on a red-carpeted ledge below a heraldic shield with crossed swords. Two tall green stained-glass windows frame it. At the left end of that same ledge is a cog-shaped wall lever and a pair of hanging candelabra.

If you are sweeping the area, the full list of all items in the Main Hall covers the rest of the district, and every relic location is mapped out separately. Our interactive map opens on the Witch’s Knot on our map.


How to open the gate

To reach the lever that opens the gate blocking the chest, first activate a wheel switch, then grapple up to the ledge.

Leave the Elevator Tower Mirror of Life through the door on the left. The next room holds a cage elevator; you do not need to ride it. Take that room’s left door on the lower floor into the West Hall, identified by its WEST HALL banner.

At the middle level of the West Hall, enter the left-hand doorway to reach the upper-left gallery.

Fireballs sweep across this high gallery, where gold-framed magical mirrors shift Rose between its sides. Descend to the lowest level.
Step through the magical mirror to reach the lower-right ledge. Turn the wheel switch there with Interact (E).
Pass through the mirror again, then get onto the middle floor covered in red carpet. Grapple to the purple ring overhead with your whip and drop onto the upper ledge on the left.
Use Interact (E) to draw the lever on the ledge. This opens the gate.
Follow the red carpet to the right until you reach the chest, then open it with Interact (E).

Opening the chest brings up the WITCH’S KNOT relic card, which confirms the pickup.


What the Witch’s Knot does

The Witch’s Knot is a relic that turns healing potions into a full heal. The card reads:

“Healing potions restore 100% of Rose’s health.”

Its flavour text adds: “Hung above the doors of makeshift hospices, this talisman was meant to repel disease and spirits.”

Use Hold to equip on the card to equip it now, or equip it later through the Equipment screen. To see how it compares with other relics, check the relic rankings.
