Enir-Ilim is the final legacy dungeon in Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. It’s located to the northwest of Belurat, but you won’t reach it until after defeating Romina, Saint of the Bud.

Our Elden Ring DLC guide shows a full walkthrough of the Enir-Ilim legacy dungeon and points you toward every site of grace, boss fight, and important item.

Enir-Ilim location

<br />

You’ll only reach Enir-Ilim after a lot of other work, since it’s technically the DLC’s final region. After defeating Messmer the Impaler in Shadow Keep, you’ll need to head into the Rauh Ruins. There, at the Church of the Bud, you’ll have to face Romina, Saint of the Bud. On the other side of her boss fight, you’ll find the Sealing Tree. Buring it with Messmer’s Kindling will (finally) transport you to Enir-Ilim.

Inside Enir-Ilim, you’ll have your final confrontation with Needle Knight Leda and then the DLC’s ultimate fight against Promised Consort Radahn.

Burn the Sealing Tree

Defeating Messmer the Impaler (and Base Serpent Messmer) will reward you with Messmer’s Kindling. Your next stop is the Church of the Bud in western Rauh Ruins. After defeating Romina, Saint of the Bud, you’ll find the Sealing Tree behind her arena.

Approach the tree and choose to burn it. After a quick cutscene, you’ll be transported to Enir-Ilim.

Reach the First Rise Site of Grace

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree start of Enir-Ilim

When you arrive in Enir-Ilim, you’ll be standing at the Enir-Ilim: Outer Wall Site of Grace (there’s also a Somber Smithing Stone off to the west). Head up the stairs and around to the right.

At the top, a Divine Bird Warrior will come down the stairs on your left. Head up those stairs. Inside, loop around to the right and take the short stairs on your left to find the First Rise Site of Grace.

Reach the Spiral Rise Site of Grace

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree First Rise Site of Grace

Take either of the curved staircases up to the level above you and then climb the stairs to find a Somber Smithing Stone and a dead end. Head back down to the site of grace.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree route back to Belurat

There’s a straight hallway to the southeast with a Messmerfire Grease on the stairs. At the end, there’s a lift that will take you down to Belurat — you’re on the other side of the branch-blocked path you found after defeating the Divine Beast Dancing Lion. There’s nothing for us to do here at the moment, so you don’t actually have to take the elevator.

Instead, head to the west and up the stairs. Keep to the right and head inside the room. Clear the Shamans inside. Look in the back right corner past the tree root for a door. Head through, deal with the other Shaman, and grab the Rune Arc.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree courtyard with fountain and Tree Shamans

Drop off the ledge into the courtyard and clear out the Shamans and the Godskin-sized shaman who drops a Revered Spirit Ash. On the east side of the courtyard, take the stairs down.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree Revered Spirit Ash location

On the landing below, you’ll find a large tree surrounded by Man-Flies. Head along the roots to the west to find an altar room with another Revered Spirit Ash. Backtrack up to the fountain.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree path to the Spira incantation

This time, go up the stairs heading east. Follow them around to the left. When you reach the top of that same large tree, head to the right. Drop off the ledge and onto the tree. Grab the Furlcalling Finger Remedy, and then follow the branches to the far side. Drop onto ledge and grab the Spira incantation.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree stairs to the Inquisitor Ashes

Drop off the ledge and head back up the same stairs. Go past the tree and deal with the Divine Beast Warrior. At the first large landing, take out the really annoying caster and then keep to the right. There’s a small staircase leading down back the way you just came.

Head down, take a right, and grab the Inquisitor Ashes. Go back up to the main stairs and keep heading up.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree stairs to the Spiral Rise Site of Grace

There’s another shaman at the top of the stairs — above the door — who will ruin your day, so keep moving as you head up. Push through the doors to find the Spiral Rise Site of Grace, a Scadutree Fragment, and a Miquella’s Cross.

Reach the Cleansing Chamber Anteroom Site of Grace

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree stairs to the window and roofs

Head up the spiraling stairs to the open window on your left — where that jerk caster is. Jump out onto the roof and take a right.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree route across the roofs

Follow the roofs around and past the Gravebirds. Jump to the balcony at the far side, and take an immediate left into the room to find a Revered Spirit Ash.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree stairs to drop onto

Back outside, you have two options — follow the stairs up all the way to the next set or roofs, or take a quick detour — to end up in the same place. Just a little up the stairs, look for another staircase below you on the right. Jump the railing to drop onto them.

Head up those stairs and through the door to find the Horned Warrior Ashes and some Staunching Bolluses. Take a right and climb the ladder.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree ladder up the tower

Head out onto the balcony to grab the Golden Horn Tender, and then climb the next ladder. Jump out onto the roofs ahead of you and deal with the Divine Beast Warrior waiting for you.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree Scadutree Fragment location

Take a left and head into the room at the top of the stairs — this is where the original stairs we jumped off end. Inside, you’ll find a Scadutree Fragment. Head back out and continue across the roofs heading east.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree route across the roofs back into the tower

Stick to the left, and you’ll come to a corpse with a Sunwarmth Stone. Head back around to where you dropped out of the tower. Climb up the slanted roofs and into the window.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree path to the Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone

Take a left and climb the stairs to the top. Clear the Tree Shaman, and ride the lift down to the bottom. Follow the only path you can outside and deal with a Curseblade so you can pick up a Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone. Back at the lift, face southwest and start it back up.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree Gravebird Helm location

There’s a ledge ahead of you just a little ways up. Jump across to it and pick up the Gravebird Helm. Drop down, recall the lift, and ride it to the top.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree path to the Cleansing Chamber Anteroom Site of Grace

Head outside and up the stairs. Cross the next landing and deal with the Divine Beast Warrior — this one carrying a Horned Warrior Greatsword. Continue past him and up the stairs.

Inside the next tower, you’ll find the Cleansing Chamber Anteroom Site of Grace and a Scadutree Fragment.

Needle Knight Leda boss fight

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree Leda boss fight arena

Head east and up the stairs. You’ll come to a huge, sandy, open arena and Needle Knight Leda will start bad-mouthing you.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree Leda fight summon signs

When she challenges you and leaves, check behind you before you hit her summon sign. There will be signs for Thiollier and Pureblood Knight Ansbach there. Summon them (to progress their respective questlines) and then hit the red sign to challenge Leda.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree Leda after the boss fight

After you defeat Leda and her allies, you’ll have a ton of loot to collect around the arena — every one will drop their armor set and weapons. When you’re done picking stuff up, continue east. When you hit the hall, Leda herself will be on your right for you to loot.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree path to the Divine Gate Front Staircase Site of Grace

Go up the stairs to your left and ride the elevator to the top. Ansbach will be waiting for you at the top. Exhaust his dialogue, and then head up the stairs to the Divine Gate Front Staircase Site of Grace.
