Château Sol is a location in Elden Ring at the top of Giant Mountain.
You can find the castle in the north of the area if you drive west from the Grace site.View of Snow Valley Ruins‘ and look for a place to drop off with the cliffs on your right. The Death Rite Bird also appears here as a boss, but no one needs to worry about it. It’s optional. Either way, Castle Sol is a dangerous place to explore, so read on below for our Castle Sol Walkthroughh to help you get through it safely.

Castle Sol Walkthrough
Next to the traveling mausoleum you will discover the castle, next to a new Site of Grace.
The first thing you see in the courtyard is a Guardian Lion, who is receiving reinforcements from his injured friend. Take them both out and beware of their icy breath. They lose a total of 2x Dark Forge Stone (7), 2x beast blood And 4x Old Fang.
Once this danger has passed, you will find a corpse with 1x Golden Rune (10) southeast of the courtyard. Under the wooden platform to the east is another corpse with 1x forge stone (5).
Now cross the wooden barricades to the northwest and follow the path between the walls to a room full of slugs on the left.
Take out the slimy beasts and catch 1x emerging butterfly before moving up the ladder.
Collect 5x Fan Dagger of the corpse. Now follow the route of the wall to the west, then to the southwest and further along the passable path.
Meanwhile, the castle guards will attack you. One in close combat, the others with incendiary bombs and ballistae.
Ballistas in particular are extremely dangerous, even to high level characters. Cross the area, pass the wooden bridge to the northeast, go up the stairs on the left and try to get behind the shooters as quickly as possible to eliminate them.
Behind the second shooter you will discover a corpse with 1x forge stone (6) and a ladder at the bottom. Use it.
In the room you find yourself in, collect the “Sorcerer” painting. This is one of seven collectible paintings in Elden Ring, and if you travel to the location it depicts, you’ll find treasure. For now, open the wooden door leading to the courtyard and continue forward.
There are a few wolves on the right, as well as an annoying bird with blades on its legs.
Stay still and you will find 3x thawing boluses near some crates on the right. Follow the path further south/southwest and you will find 5x refrigerant grease at the end of the passable wooden platform.
Return to the area behind the dogs, where you can enter and go through the north building. Kill the ghost guards in the next area and use the wooden stairs on the left to find 1x Golden Rune (10).
Further south, a ghost knight appears in front of the stairs leading to the next Site of Grace’Church of the Eclipse‘. On the left wall is another corpse with 1x thawing bolus and next to it is a ladder leading to a corpse with 1x forge stone (5).
Head north to a corpse with 1x Golden Rune (9). To the left of this, a wooden bridge leads to two wolves with an exiled soldier (who will drop his halberd if you’re lucky). The path ends in front of a corpse above the wall, which gives us 1x Stone Sword Key.
Now return to the Site of Grace. In the church you will find an accessible ghostly figure and the Hotel Eclipse at the altar.
Take the east exit from the church. Go to the boss via the building opposite, but first go around the church to the right and climb the ladder.
Kill the crossbowman and you will reach this location in a few steps to the right:
Jump onto the roof, go down the ladder and you will find yourself in a room full of rats guarding you. 3x Forge Stone (7).
Exit the room, stay right and you will discover a body with 1x runic bow. Return to the ladder behind the Eclipse Church.
Go back up the ladder and follow the path of the wall southwest until you reach a ladder.
Another exiled knight awaits you below, this time with two swords. He heals himself and diligently uses teleport to land behind you. After victory, loot the corpse on the wooden platform, which leaves us with the Cerulean Amber Medallion +1.
Back in the church, take the east exit one last time and enter the building opposite.
Inside, use the Target Fixation to spot Albinaurics crouching in dark corners. There are three on the lower level.
At the top of the stairs you will find 1x forge stone (6)but be careful here: the guy in the hanging cage is alive and will trigger the alarm, which will summon two additional enemies to the scene.
This little routine can be repeated above, but this time with a knight brandishing two swords, in addition to the other knight who is already patrolling the area.
Outside, you will find a lever to activate the elevator. Go down once, recover 1x remedy for furcalling fingers in the familiar area and you can then face the boss at the top.
Continue towards the boss: Commander Niall.
