Ancient Ruins

The ancient ruins are a recurring type of unmarked location found throughout the Lands Between in Elden Ring.

Overview[]

The Ancient Ruins of Rauh are enormous with a distinct dark grey color (darker than the natural rock formations surrounding them), octagonal pillars, as well as being so deeply embedded into the earth that they seem to be even older than the mountains themselves. The Divine Towers and even the pillar that the Forge of the Giants rests on seems to use the same architectural style. They are found commonly in Limgrave, Caelid, the Mountaintops of the Giants, and especially in the Rauh Base and Ancient Ruins of Rauh.

Notes[]

Man-Bats and Guardian Golems are commonly encountered amongst the Rauh ruins.
The builders of the giant ruins were practitioners of sprite magic.^[1]^[2]
The Talisman of All Crucibles is found at the Ancient Ruins of Rauh. These Crucible features were said to have grown on the bodies of giants long ago.^[3]
