How to get to the Church District in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree

3 days ago 26

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree isn’t too illuminating when it comes to how to get to certain places in the Land of Shadow, and the Church District is no exception. The area is located on the eastern part of the Shadow Keep, but reaching it is quite a journey.

By journey, I mean you have to make like Gimli and go the long way around. The Shadow Keep doesn’t offer a quick and dirty way to enter the Church District. You’ll have to start further to the south.

Steps on how to get to the Church District of the Shadow Keep

To get to the Church District, you must begin your trip at the ‘Moorth Ruins’ Site of Grace, southeast of the Shadow Keep. From the Site of Grace, travel under the massive stone arch.

Take a sharp left after the arch. You should see a church sinking into the ground with a glowing item on the roof.

Climb over the roof and drop down to the other side. From there, you’ll see a hole in the ground near the back of the church. Drop down and look for a cave that goes even deeper.

Keep going until you find a narrow passageway leading deeper into the cave. Near the end of the cave is a ladder that takes you to the Bonny Village.

Travel east from Bonny Village and cross two bridges. Grab the Site of Grace – ‘Bridge Leading to the Village’ and continue north.

Run past the Furnace Golem, or fight it if you wish, and keep moving until you reach the next Site of Grace: ‘Church District Highroad’.

We’re nearly there! From this Site of Grace, travel the road until you see a large, immaculate entrance carved into the rock. Go inside.

At last, you’ll discover the Church District at the end of the tunnel. There are plenty of things to do in the district. Oh, and stay away from the water. Something scary is lurking down there, and I don’t think it’s friendly.
