The Ancient Ruins of Rauh, found in the northwestern region of the map, is the third main area in Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.

The Ancient Ruins can be reached by following the path from the Shadow Keep’s Specimen Storehouse, crossing a Greatbridge, and taking an elevator up to the Viaduct Minor Tower. This tower serves as a direct route to the ruins.

To begin your journey at the Shadow Keep, make your way to the Main Gate Plaza and enter through the open door on the left. As you move through the armory, continue up the stairs on the opposite side. Eventually, you will come across platforms that are being guarded by Messmer Soldiers.

You have the option to either avoid or engage with the enemies that you will come across on your journey. Proceed to the next platform in order to reach a dining room where two Black Knights are waiting. Exit through the rear door that leads to a long rampart with burning boats. Be cautious of hidden militiamen enemies lying in wait.

As you make your way towards the stairs directly ahead, you will come across a Messmer Knight. Beyond him lies an elevator that will bring you directly to the Specimen Storehouse in the Shadow Keep.

Take the left path to reach another elevator that will take you downstairs. Upon exiting the elevator, turn right and continue straight ahead until you reach a room with a set of stairs on the left.

As you continue on, be prepared to encounter even more fleshy creatures resembling the innards of the jar warriors. Once you enter the large holding room through the left door, you will find it occupied by numerous jar warriors who will attempt to jump-tackle you.

To access the adjacent room, head towards the door on the right side and enter. Once inside, you will see a set of stairs on either side. Below, you will encounter more miniature soldiers in jars, and beyond them lies a new location known as the West Rampart.

Directly opposite this location, you will come across a large gate and a smaller door positioned next to it. To reach the Rauh Greatbridge, simply pass through the door on the right. It is recommended to use Torrent and ride across the bridge, as there will be a group of bats and a unique Messmer Knight waiting at the other end of the bridge.

To reach the Viaduct Minor Tower site of grace, enter the room to the player’s right and take the stairs to an elevator.
