I will show the path to reach the Seedbed Curse from the East Capital Rampart Site of Grace in Leyndell as shown in the pictures below.
From the East Capital Rampart Site of Grace, go out of the door, then turn left and go straight ahead. Shortly, you will reach a door with a big monster in front as shown below. Jump down on the balcony down on the right side here, then go inside the door as shown below.
Go down the elevator on the right side of this room then go straight ahead and enter the building ahead. Climb up the ladder on the right side of this room.
Then climb up the stairs to reach the roof, where you will find a corpse with a Seedbed Curse on it as shown in the picture below.

After dropping down, continue ahead in the tunnel without entering into any other tunnel connected to the main one. At the end of the tunnel, climb up the ladder and then turn right. Open the gate here using the Sewer-Gaol Key to find the Dung Eater as shown in the picture below. Talk to him and ask him to leave his gaol.
