The Stone Coffin Fissure is located south of Cerulean Coast Cross. However, the area will be sealed until you receive a message telling you that "a great rune has broken". This is a reference to Miquella's Great Rune, and you'll get this message when you enter the Shadow Keep, Rauh Base, and eastern Scadu Altus (beyond Bonny Village) for the first time.

Once you've received this message, start from the Cerulean Coast Site of Grace. Head west and then south along the peninsula. You’ll gallop past a grove of dead-eyed blue worms that will lurch out of the ground to smash you as you go past, and a troll lurks on the edge of a cliffside, hoarding a collection of pots that it'll chuck at you from a great distance.

After dodging these unpleasant obstacles, you’ll reach The Fissure Site of Grace, which is near a ruined section of wall lying on the ground. If you haven't yet received the "great rune has broken" message, a barrier decorated with Miquella's emblem will block further access here. If you have received the message, you'll instead see a large hole in the ground that you’ll need to jump into. The hole is dark and deep but not bottomless, and there are a number of ledges for your Tarnished to hop onto as you descend to the bottom. Slimes abound, so beware.
