Enir-Ilim walkthrough in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree

Enir-Ilim is the last legacy dungeon in Elden Ring‘S Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. It is located northwest of Belurat, but you can only reach it after defeating Romina, the saint of the Bud.

Us Elden Ring DLC guide shows a complete walkthrough of the ancient dungeon of Enir-Ilim and points you to every place of grace, boss fights and important items.

Enir-Ilim location

You will only achieve Enir-Ilim after a lot of other work, as this is technically the last region of the DLC. After defeating Messmer the Impaler in Shadow Keep, you will need to enter the Rauh Ruins. There, at the Church of the Bud, you will have to face Romina, the Saint of the Bud. On the other side of her boss fight you’ll find the Sealing Tree. If you bury it with Messmer’s Kindling, you will (finally) be transported to Enir-Ilim.

In Enir-Ilim you have your final confrontation with Needle Knight Leda and then the ultimate battle of the DLC against Promised Consort Radahn.

Burn the seal tree

If you defeat Messmer the Impaler (and Basic Snake Messmer), you will be rewarded with Messmer’s Kindling. Your next stop is the Church of the Bud in the western Rauh Ruins. After defeating Romina, the Saint of the Button, you will find the Sealing Tree behind her arena.

Approach the tree and choose to burn it. After a short cutscene you will be transported to Enir-Ilim.

When you arrive in Enir-Ilim, you will be at the Enir-Ilim: Outer Wall Place of Mercy (there is also a Gloomy Smithing Stone to the west). Go up the stairs and around to the right.

At the top, a Divine Bird Warrior comes down the stairs to your left. Go up those stairs. Inside, walk to the right and take the short stairs on your left to the First Rising Place of Grace.

Take one of the curved stairs to the level above you, then climb the stairs to find a Gloomy Smithing Stone and a dead end. Return to the place of grace.

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

Instead, go west and up the stairs. Keep right and enter the room. Clear out the shamans inside. Look in the back right corner past the tree root for a door. Go through, take out the other shaman and get the Rune Arc.

Drop off the edge into the courtyard and clear out the shamans and the Godskin-sized shaman who has a Revered Spirit Ash. On the east side of the courtyard take the stairs down.

On the landing below you will find a large tree surrounded by human flies. Go west along the roots to find an altar room with another Venerated Spirit Ash. Go back to the fountain.

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

Drop off the edge and go back up the same stairs. Go past the tree and take out the Divine Beast Warrior. At the first big landing, take out the really annoying caster and then keep right. There is a small staircase leading down the way you just came.

Go down, go right and get the Inquisitor Ashes. Go back to the main stairs and keep going up.

At the top of the stairs (above the door) is another shaman who will ruin your day, so keep moving as you go up. Push through the doors to get the Spiral rising place of gracea Scadutree fragmentand a Miquella’s cross.

Go up the spiral stairs to the open window on your left – where that jerk wheeler is. Jump onto the roof and go right.

Follow the roofs around and past the Gravebirds. Jump to the balcony on the other side and immediately enter the room on the left Venerated Spirit Ash.

Once you’re back outside, you have two options: follow the stairs all the way to the next set or rooftops, or take a short detour to end up in the same spot. Just go up the stairs, look for another staircase below you on the right. Jump over the railing to fall onto it.

Go up the stairs and through the door to the Horned warrior race and a few Strong Boluses. Go right and climb the ladder.

Go onto the balcony to get the Golden Horn Tender, then climb the next ladder. Jump onto the rooftops in front of you and take out the Divine Beast Warrior waiting for you.

Turn left and enter the room at the top of the stairs – here is the original staircase we jumped off. Inside you will find a Scadutree fragment. Go back outside and continue across the roofs to the east.

Stay left and you’ll come to a corpse with a Sunwarmth Stone. Go back to where you fell from the tower. Climb into the window via the sloping roofs.

Go left and climb the stairs to the top. Take out the Tree Shaman and take the elevator down. Follow the only path out and take out a Curseblade so you can grab a Gloomy Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone. Back at the elevator, look southwest and start the elevator again.

There’s a ledge in front of you, a little ways up. Jump to it and grab the Gravebird Helmet. Drop down, call the elevator back and ride it to the top.

Go outside and up the stairs. Cross the next landing and take care of the Divine Beast Warrior – it has a Horned warrior greatsword. Walk past him and go up the stairs.

In the next tower you will find the Purification Room Antechamber Location of Grace and a Scadutree fragment.

Needle Knight Leda boss fight

Go east and up the stairs. You’ll enter a huge, sandy, open arena and Needle Knight Leda will start badmouthing you.

If she challenges you and leaves, look behind you before pressing her call sign. There will be signs for Thiollier and Pureblood Knight Ansbach. Summon them (to continue their respective quest lines) and then press the red sign to challenge Leda.

After defeating Leda and her allies, you can collect a lot of loot in the arena. Everyone drops their armor and weapons. Once you’re done picking up supplies, continue east. As you enter the hallway, Leda herself will be on your right for you to loot.

Go up the stairs to your left and take the elevator up. Ansbach is waiting for you at the top. Do his dialogue and then go up the stairs to the Divine Gate Front Stairs Site of Grace.
