How to get to the Cerulean Coast in Elden Ring

The world of Elden Ring is twisted and filled with despair. But that doesn’t mean that beauty isn’t found in the environment crafted by From Software. Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree adds one of the most gorgeous regions in the game, the Cerulean Coast. If you’re looking for a sweet location to take screenshots (I recommend doing so at night) or you’re in the middle of Count Ymir’s questline, we’ll show you how to get to the Cerulean Coast in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.

Getting to the Cerulean Coast, grace-by-grace

Castle Front to Ellac River Cave

1. Starting from the Castle Front site of grace (Castle Ensis), head south past a Messmer camp and wrap to the left, avoiding a poisonous plant field.
2. Continue to wrap along the wall until facing north. Proceed down the slope, and you’ll reach a marsh with a giant crab and oversized poisonous plant. Run past the plant, and you’ll find a cave entrance.
3. After heading through the cave, you’ll reach the Ellac River Cave site of grace.

Ellac River Cave to Ellac River Downstream

The cave leads to the Ellac River and is when you’ll need to utilize your parkour skills. From this point on, the path is fairly linear, but you’ll be required to hop from pillar to pillar until you reach the Ellac River Downstream site of grace. 

Ellac River Downstream to Cerulean Coast

1. Unfortunately, there isn’t a coffin to ride down this waterfall. Hop down the cliffside to the right. You should see a Furnace Golem in the distance.
2. Head towards the Furnace Golem and hug the western wall. You should be able to avoid him as long as you stay close to the wall. Torrent should be able to outrun most of his attacks besides the laser. 
3. You’ll reach a clearing that takes you directly to the beautiful Cerulean Coast site of grace. Be mindful of any homing fireballs coming from behind.

Cerulean Coast map fragment

You should be able to see the Ghostflame Dragon patrolling the meadow. Hug the left treeline to avoid him. You’ll eventually move up a hill that contains the Cerulean Coast map fragment.  With the map fragment in hand, you’re free to discover the rest of what the Cerulean Coast has to offer.
