The first step to progressing the wish is by obtaining the Twisted Bud in Bilewater. This zone in Bilewater, however, cannot be easily accessed by using its regular entrance from either Sinner's Road or Putrified Ducts.

Enter Bilewater From Whispering Vaults

Bilewater Route from Whispering Vaults

To unlock the upper left zone of the Whispering Vaults, you'll have to enter the zone from a secret pathway from the Whispering Vault.

Talk to Greyroot to Initiate The Quest

Once you have obtained the Twisted Bud, head to Greyroot, which can be found in Shellwood. Talk to her while possessing the Twisted Bud to initiate the Rite of Rebirth quest.

Escape The Tunnel You Wake Up to in Shellwood

Once you get infected by the parasite, you'll wake up in a tunnel hidden inside Shellwood. Escape it by heading left, then head south to reach The Marrow. From here, it will be easy to head to Bone Bottom and get access to the Bell Beast Station.

Head to Yarnaby in Greymoor
