Stillwater Cave

Stillwater Cave is a small and straightforward dungeon, but it's rather dark inside, so you'll want to bring a torch. Make your way through the poisonous waters while killing the various flowers, bats, and more. If you have some items to cure poison, that can be a huge help here.

When you reach the end of the cave, you'll have to face a Cleanrot Knight. For low-level characters, this fight can be quite challenging, but if you can learn the knight's move set--most notably how to dodge its attempts to impale you with a spear for ridiculous amounts of damage--it will eventually fall. When it does, you'll earn the Winged Sword Insignia talisman.
