Core goal: Find and cleanse every Beacon (49 total) so you can fast-travel, farm Ova, and pop the So Fresh So Clean trophy. The in-game tracker only counts 46 because three start already cleansed (Marrow Keep, Widow's Overlook, Outskirts of Mammon). None are missable. You can finish them after the final boss before NG+.

1Prologue Beacons

  • 1
    Light the two prologue Beacons: Village Outskirts and Disciple's Grotto (Disciple's Pass).

    They're on the critical path and hard to miss.

  • 2
    Reach Marrow Keep (already cleansed). Use it as the hub.

2Fainweald Overworld Beacons

Open Fainweald from Widow's Overlook (already cleansed). Systematically hit every named overworld spot:

Fainweald Overworld
  • Stonebled Gate
  • Mushroom Village and Gate
  • Nochtean Gate
  • Outskirts of Nochte
  • Blackridge Pass
  • Gloomshade Grove and Falls
  • Citadel of Penance
  • One-Legged Wolf
  • Patch extras: Hag's Path, Ruins of Nochte, Desolate Peak, Stones of Remembrance, Contested Clearing, Cavern Entrance, Matka's Monument

3Fainweald Corrupted Gates

Enter each of the three Fainweald Corrupted Gates and grab every Beacon on the main path plus the one that appears after the gate boss:

Glutted Mire
  • Sleeping or Seeping Mire
  • Sunken Village
  • Magdalena's Glade (26 Ova after the boss)
Prisoner's Domain
  • Slumwater Drain (side door up wooden stairs near the start)
  • Hangman's Scaffold
  • Executioner's Pulpit
  • Captive's End
Sanguine Caverns
  • Pulsing Caves
  • Sanguine Shoreline
  • Child's Feeding Grounds
The last Beacon in each gate only appears after you kill the gate's main boss and always holds 26 Ova.

4Ruins of Mammon Overworld and Gates

Repeat the same pattern in Ruins of Mammon starting from Outskirts of Mammon (already cleansed):

Mammon Overworld
  • Abbey Entrance
  • Sester's Gate
  • Gate of Infinity
  • Casticator's Keep
  • Abandoned Outpost
  • Gate of Mammon
  • The Silent Steps
  • High Lord's Courtyard and Terrace
  • Patch extras: Deserted Slums, Lonesome Spire, Revenant Graves, Sester's Refuge, Barren Crest, Vestige of Infinity
Mammon Gates
  • Conquered Temple
  • Faded Citadel
  • Withered Shoals

5The Unfound Path (150 Ova Unlock)

  • 1
    After you have 150 Ova, the hole in Marrow Keep opens to The Unfound Path.

    Players say this is where most people miss the last few.

  • 2
    Walk the full ring and all three story paths.
  • 3
    Take the left when you first reach the Hidden Nave area.

    There is an easy-to-miss Beacon on the right that has no Ova but still needs to be revitalized.

  • 4
    Also grab Brether's Court, Obsidian Vault, Bridge of Procession, Empty Cradle.

6Final Cleanup

Finish Disciple's Pass leftovers if you skipped any (Village Outskirts, Disciple's Grotto). Everything is still accessible after the final boss. None are missable.

Key Decisions

Common Mistakes

Players post screenshots of their in-game maps and tell others to compare fog-of-war. Use those player maps plus the area list above and you can finish the set in one cleanup run.
