Elden Ring Old Altus Tunnel Guided Tour
You will find this tunnel northeast of the Wyndham Ruins. You will need to use two Swordstone Keys to open the entrance.
Here is the location on the map:
Behind the entrance, collect 3x Explosive Stone Cluster then take the elevator down. You can exit the elevator during the ride and find a small tunnel with deposits of Cracked crystal (like everywhere in tunnels).
Activate Grace’s site “Old Altus Tunnel” and follow the mine tunnel west. Kill the miner and dog in the wooden shack and don’t forget to collect 1x Forge Stone (5) to his right.
In the next room, where the pickaxe noises are coming from, run to the ladder on the right and follow it up. Move forward into the adjacent corridor, kill all the enemies – including a soldier – and loot the surrounding area.
There is 1x Stop bolus next to the hut, the Dragon Bolt Talisman +1 next to the dogs and 1x Forge Stone (5) behind the red barrels
Return to the ladder and drop down onto the wooden platform on the right, which you follow south. Kill the miners, collect 1x Forge Stone (5) at the end and 1x Golden Rune (6) of the corpse and looks down.
Two Leyndell Knights, a soldier, and a few dogs await you in a hut on the lower level of the tunnels. If you’re not strong enough yet, you can do some ground work from here with ranged weapons.
Once the enemies are defeated, you can search the surroundings. We find the The Troll’s Hammer in the wooden cabin, 1x Forge Stone (5) next to the seated miner and 1x Dark Forge Stone (4) in the other cabin.
Behind this last hut, you can follow the tunnel west and find 2x Forge Stone (5) And 1x Dark Forge Stone (5) next to a minor and a dog.
Return to the main room, which we just reached via the ladder or by dropping down it. There is only one path left here. It leads directly to the fog door towards the boss. An old acquaintance awaits us.
How to defeat the Stone Digger Troll in Old Altus Tunnel in Elden Ring
The Stone Digger Troll is a familiar boss from the Limgrave Tunnels. It’s the same type of enemy, just a bit tougher.
As a result, his behavior in battle has not changed much – in fact, nothing at all. Be careful that his huge hammer does not crush you and stay under his legs as much as possible.
Hold the weapon with both hands so that the blows do not bounce off his body and/or use powerful attacks. This is an effective way to deal with the troll.
If you’ve already completed the Limgrave Tunnels, you won’t have any bad surprises here.
Your rewards for defeating them are 9600 runes and the Grand Club.
