Here is where to find all Spriritspring Stones in Shadow Of The Erdtree
Looking for all Spiritspring Stone locations in Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree?Whilst Spiritsprings are nothing new toElden Ringplayers,Shadow Of The Erdtreeoffers a new puzzle mechanic around these shortcuts.
Some Spiritsprings in Shadow Of The Erdtree, require you to break a stone cairn nearby, also known as a ‘Spiritspring Stone’. Doing so will untrap the air inside the spring and allow you to ride them upwards with Torrent to new locations, secret areas and even hiddenbosses.
For a list of all Spiritspring Stone locations in Elden Ring as well as a rundown of how to find them and what they lead to, read below.
How to open sealed Spiritsprings
As you may already know, Spiritsprings allow you to travel to higher platforms from the back ofTorrentvia a wind current. As you traverse the Land of Shadow, you may come across Spiritsprings that are ‘sealed’ and inaccessible.
These Spiritsprings require you to locate a special stone cairn (usually positioned near their associated Spiritspring) and destroy it to free the air current. You can usually do so with any melee or spell attack.
For more information about these Spiritsprings, you can purchase a note fromMoore, an NPC that usually hangs around the Main Gate CrossSite Of Grace. This item is called the ‘Note: Sealed Spiritsprings’.
The above map images show all Spiritsprings in Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree (via the green circles). Crucially, it also lists all5 Spiritspring Stone locationscurrently in the DLC.
Scroll below for a more in-depth picture and explanation of how to find every one of them in the game.
The first Spiritspring Stone you’ll likely come across in Shadow Of The Erdtree is directly underneath the Fort Of Reprimand. Not only does its associated Spiritspring take you to the Fort (a large area you can explore and potentially pick up theFlamedrake Talisman +3andAspects of Crucible WingsAshes of War) but this also marks analternative route into the Scadu Altus regionwithout having to complete Castle Ensis and the boss within first.
To find this Spiritspring Stone, travel to the Castle Front Site Of Grace outside Castle Ensis. From here, take the southeastern road and continue via the dirt path down and to the south (rather than the regular road upwards and to the east). This will be populated with a variety of Bloodfiends and Messmer soldiers, you can leave them to fight each other. Once you see pillars in the distance, take the below route to the east.
Continue through this route until you see a swamp filled with poisonous Miranda Sprout flowers. Hug the cliff edge to the eastern side and follow it around until you see the blocked Spiritspring. Continue around the cliff edge to the stone cairn and break it. There will be another Spiritspring above the first (to the east) which will take you the rest of the way to the Fort above. You’ll land on the Fort’s upper battlements, an area previously inaccessible.
The next Spiritspring Stone is close to the Fort Of Reprimand. From the main Fort exit tunnel, turn east towards the cliff edge (look out for the Dragon nearby, although, it will most likely be kept busy by the soldiers).
When you see the sealed spring continue forwards, towards the eastern cliff where there will be a group of bats. Follow the trail around, into a little alcove. This is where the Stone will be.
Once broken, return to the Spiritspring and ride it above the dragon battling below. The main point of interest on this higher cliff level is theScaduview Cross(if you’re collecting Cross locations). You’ll also get a nice view of the Fort of Reprimand from above.
The next Spiritspring Stone is within Rabbath’s Rise, a tower to the east of Scadu Altus and theChurch DistrictHighroad Site Of Grace. This is also north of theCathedral of Manus MetyrwhereCount Ymirresides. This area of the region can be reached by travelling from Bonny Village (accessible via the underground passage through Moorth Ruins).
The Spiritspring is located just outside of the tower, near the entrance steps. The Stone you need to break requires you to travel inside the tower, up the first flight of stairs. Continue through the adjoining room. Here, there is an illusory wall, marked by two sets of glowing blue crystals. Reveal it to see the Stone, perched on top of a balcony.
Return to the Spiritspring and take it southwest, aiming for the staircase wrapped around the highest tower. Once you’ve landed, continue to the top room of the tower. Here, there will be a chest you can loot to acquireRabbath’s Cannon. (Note, there is another secret balcony within Rabbath’s Rise but it is only accessible viaThe Hinterland).
This upper region is located to the east of theTemple Town RuinsinRauh Base. This region is discovered by travelling from the Moorth Ruins in Scadu Altus northeast towards a cave with a bunch of glowing worms outside of it. Exit the cave, travel northeast around a body of water guarded by Gravebirds and continue until you discover Rauh Base. From here, the Temple Town Ruins are to the southwest but you should come across them just by following the main path past the large giants with crossbows.
From the Temple Town Ruins, walk to the east. There will be a Spiritspring at the base of the cliff. Follow the cliff pathway upwards to the Spiritspring Stone just behind the ruins of a stone wall. Then take the Spiritspring up to a higher level where there will be a second Spiritspring which will take you the rest of the way to the Mausoleum.
The last Spiritspring Stone is located within the Ancient Ruins of Rauh (accessible via the elevator within The Specimen Storehouse of The Shadow Keep).
From the Rauh Ancient Ruins, West Site Of Grace (across the large great bridge) travel forwards, through the building full of Shades. Continue up the first set of stairs and once you enter the large antechamber, head to the alcove to the furthest left (northwest).
In the alcove here will be a lift, take it upwards. Once outside, travel forwards north (either fight or avoid the golden Divine Bird Warrior). Once you reach the stone gazebo outside of the cave filled with Kindred Of Rot enemies, instead of going through the cave, head east up the grassy pathway. Follow this around to discover the stone cairn.
Once destroyed, the Spiritspring will be directly below. This Spiritspring will take you to one of the higher Ancient Ruins of Rauh levels to the east where you can ascend some stairs and loot a chest for theMottled Necklace +2Talisman(vastly raises robustness, immunity and focus).
