Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree – How To Get Imbued Sword Key

Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree - How To Get Imbued Sword Key

As an experienced gamer with countless hours spent traversing the vast landscapes of Elden Ring, I can confidently say that the hunt for the elusive Imbued Sword Key in Shadow of the Erdtree has been a challenging yet rewarding journey. The intricate design and immersive atmosphere of Castle Ensis have added another layer to this already expansive game.


In “Elden Ring,” Imbued Sword Keys are precious and seldom-found objects that open portals obstructed by imp statues. The standard edition of the game includes three such portals and three Imbued Sword Keys distributed across the Lands Between. With the addition of the “Shadow of the Erdtree” expansion, a new locked portal emerges, compelling players to embark on a mission to uncover the concealed Imbued Sword Key within the DLC.

To gain access to the Imbued Sword Key in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, explore Castle Ensis, an ancient fortress and one of two entryways to Scadu Altas. Upon exiting Castle Ensis, look near a river for a sealed portal. Unlock this gateway by using an Imbued Sword Key. Here’s how to locate the Imbued Sword Key in Castle Ensis:

Imbued Sword Key Location In Shadow Of The Erdtree

To obtain the Imbued Sword Key, begin by making your way to Castle Ensis. Travel north from Gravesite Plain and you’ll come across a bridge that will lead you there. After crossing the bridge, look for the site of grace named “Castle Front.”

As an assistant to help you understand this passage better, I’d rephrase it in a more conversational and first-person style as follows:

Be sure to unlock the door for easier access if you die.

After opening the door, take the bridge and start heading up the hill to the south.

Be cautious of hidden mages and wild dogs in the area.

To reach Moonrithyll, the Carian Knight guarding the castle entrance, bypass the teleporting mages first. You have two options: engage in combat with him to acquire his massive sword as a reward, or skirt around him and head up to the upper part of Castle Ensis instead.

Reaching the rooftop, unlock the gate and proceed east. Look for a wooden stairway ascending to a Black Knight. Instead of approaching the knight, return to discover a chest in a nearby room. This chest conceals the sole Imbued Sword Key hidden within the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.

Alternative Route To The Imbued Sword Key

1. If you’ve battled Rellana, Twin Moon Knight, or have arrived at the location where the Castle-Lord’s Chamber site of grace is found, there’s an alternative path to retrieve the Imbued Sword Key. From within the Castle-Lord’s Chamber, take the elevator heading south. Proceed past the Black Knight, and you will come across a room containing a chest that holds the Imbued Sword Key.
