Elden Ring: How To Find The Seaside Ruins

Elden Ring’s massive open-world environment is dotted with details, secrets, and interesting locations. The Sites of Grace allow players to travel around efficiently, though the Tarnished must first find these Grace points and touch them to activate them.

One of such Sites of Grace is the Seaside Ruins in Elden Ring. Players struggling to find this location don’t need to look further than this short guide, and they will also be happy to know this Site of Grace isn’t very far away from the first Site of Grace in the game.

Updated on July 31, 2024, by Nahda Nabiilah: At the beginning of Elden Ring, players will be overwhelmed by the massive open world and might miss out on many collectibles. Luckily, the Seaside Ruins are extremely close to the starting area, so it’s more likely that Tarnished will stumble upon it naturally. The ruins are centered around a Site of Lost Grace, and players can examine both the upper and lower parts of it by taking advantage of the Spirit Spring found nearby.

How To Find Seaside Ruins In Elden Ring

From The First Step Site of Grace, which is located directly outside of the doorway that players emerge from for the first time into the beautiful landscape of Limgrave, rather than following the guidance of Grace, players should turn right and head behind the building.

There’s a safe stone pathway they can follow to drop down, with a bunch of enemies by the nearby lakeside and a large hole in the ground with a body and an abandoned cart. The pathway to this area also has a dead body with a Smithing Stone on it, so make sure to pick it up.

Keep following the cliffside south, past another group of flying enemies on a few cliffs. Players can easily dodge them by riding past with Torrent until they reach the Seaside Ruins Site of Grace which should come into view soon after. For reference, there’s a fallen-over ruin nearby, under which they can find Bloody Finger Hunter Yura by a campfire and speak to him.

The cliffside of this Site of Grace has a pathway that players can take down to the beach below so long as they are riding Torrent. A Slender Wayfarer can be found roaming around a lit-up bonfire, and killing it will reward the player with Ash of War: Gravitas.

Head up the beach towards the north, and players will find a small entryway. If they follow down that path, they will come across a dead body that’s hanging, as well as the Haligdrake Talisman. Once done at the beach, travel back to the Seaside Ruins Site of Grace. Walking just a bit south of it by the cliffside will lead the player to a Golden Rune next to a large rock. That’s about all there is around here, but players should keep heading south to explore more of this early-game location.
