You candive anywherein Fontaine, and you will still be able to reach the area.
After diving,head South until you reach the Elton Trench. If you see a lot ofSunken ships, you’re going the right way.
Once in the Trench, you will see an areaparticularly dotted with Armored Crabs. There will be a section on the floor resembling a cave entrance.
Swim down and through it, following its flow. When you resurface, you will have reached the Emperor’s hidden lair. Defeat him to collect the Emepror’s Resolution needed to level up.
Be mindful that thesizzling pooled wateryou must cross to reach the crabwill quickly drain your HP when you come into contact with it.
