Elden Ring: Shadows Of The Erdtree – Scorched Ruins Walkthrough

Elden Ring: Shadows Of The Erdtree - Scorched Ruins Walkthrough

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent exploring open worlds and delving into the depths of various RPGs, I can confidently say that the Scorched Ruins in Shadow of the Erdtree have been some of the most intriguing ruins I’ve encountered yet. The sense of discovery and adventure was palpable as I traversed Gravesite Plain, following the instructions to reach these ancient relics.


In the standard version of Elden Ring, ruins serve as a familiar setting where players can collect some goods, including the occasional rare item hidden in a chest. However, ruins in the DLC present a new challenge. They are expansive and may house several mini-bosses that roam around. Players must defeat these foes to claim all the treasures.

As a gamer in Shadow of the Erdtree, I’d be happy to share my experience on how to get to the Scorched Ruins and uncover their secrets. Following this guide will lead you through each essential step, ensuring your journey is as smooth as possible.

You can choose whether to explore the Ruins or not, along with their contained items. Neither your decision nor the outcome of this choice impacts the overall plot.

How To Get To Scorched Ruins In Shadow Of The Erdtree

Following your encounter with the Withered Arm in that location, you’ll be taken to the Realm of Shadow. Exit the small cave to reach Gravesite Plain, the initial part of the DLC expansion. You’ll find a Grace there for you to use. Starting from the Grace at Gravesite Plain, travel northeast on your Torrent, and you’ll eventually encounter the Scorched Ruins with a nearby Site of Grace to the north.

All Items Found Within Scorched Ruins

At the Scorched Ruins’ remnant of hope, call upon your steed, Torrent, and journey southward, keeping the wall on your right as a guide. Once the structure on your right ceases to exist, make a left turn towards the west. You’ll encounter a tiny, shattered staircase with numerous Shadow adversaries nearby. Ransack the corpse perched atop the staircase to obtain the Greater Potentate’s Cookbook [1].

If you’re a fan following my lead, head down to the southernmost part of the ground level. There, you’ll encounter more adversaries and a deceased soul guarding the Hefty Cracked Pot for collection. Turn left (west) and keep an eye out for a structure swathed in fabric. Use your Spectral Steed to leap up and gain entry. Travel northward, shatter into the derelict building, and ascend the stairs. Pass through the entrance and veer right to confront a makeshift bridge. Cross it and look to the left to discover a gate you can unlock. Behind this door lies a chest harboring the precious Blade of Mercy Talisman.
