How to get to Cerulean Coast in Elden Ring Shadow Of The Erdtree

Want to know how to get to the Cerulean Coast in Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree? Elden Ring's huge expansion Shadow Of The Erdtree puts you in the Land of Shadow, which features more verticality and hidden routes than the base game. The Cerulean Coast is one of the most hauntingly beautiful areas of this dark realm, but reaching it requires traversing a circuitous, rocky path that may elude players, even though it's technically just south of your starting area in the DLC.

In this guide, we'll reveal everything you need to do to get to the Cerulean Coast in Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree.

How to get to Cerulean Coast in Shadow Of The Erdtree

To reach the Cerulean Coast, start from the Castle Front Site of Grace, which is located on the doorstep of Castle Ensis. Veer southeast along the road past the nearby enemy camps and you'll come upon a poison swamp. Go through it and then make your way northwards along a trail that eventually leads you down to a riverbed.

There are quite a few enemies lurking about, including a large Miranda Blossom, and you can fight them if you want or simply plow through. Head west past the Miranda Blossom and enter a tunnel near the cliff's base. Run through the tunnel and you'll come across the Ellac River Cave Site of Grace.

Now you've got to follow the river downstream, which can be a tricky affair. Whatever you do, don't just jump off the waterfalls. Use Torrent's double jump or your own platforming skills to hop from rock pillar to rock pillar. If you're using Torrent, be careful not to jump too far to a watery demise.

Once this tricky platforming portion is surmounted, then you need to steadily go downwards until you come upon the Ellac River Downstream Site of Grace. When in doubt, hug the rocky cliff wall to your right. You'll know you're in the correct spot when you see a lonely spirit sitting on a rock nearby.

Once you've rested, continue your traversal downstream by jumping over the nearby fallen rock pillar and using it as a bridge to reach the other side of the river. You'll emerge onto a riverbed stretch of the Gravesite Plains that was previously inaccessible to you from your starting area.

The first thing you'll notice is a Furnace Golem wandering through the river. This hefty giant won't hesitate to roast you to ash if you get close, so steer clear if you don't want a fiery battle. Veer east and look for a trail that leads deeper into the forest. Follow this trail, and finally you'll reach the Cerulean Coast Site of Grace.

Congratulations, that was one lengthy trip! While you're in the area, go grab the Southern Shore Map Fragment, which is located northwest of the Cerulean Coast Site of Grace. Watch out for the Ghostflame Dragon that alights in the central Cerulean Coast clearing - you've come too far to get squashed by a winged opponent at the last moment!
