Enir Ilim site

You only reach Enir-Ilim after a lot of other work, as it’s technically the final region of the DLC. After defeating Messmer the Impaler in Shadow Keep, you’ll need to head to the Rauh Ruins. There, in the Church of the Bud, you’ll have to face Romina, Saint of the Bud. On the other side of her boss fight, you’ll find the Sealing Tree. Burning it with Messmer’s Kindling will (finally) transport you to Enir-Ilim.

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

Walk towards the tree and decide 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 of Grace (There is also a dark forge stone to the west.) Go up the stairs and to the right.

Take one of the curved stairs to the level above you, then climb the steps to find a grim forgestone and a dead end. Head back to the Place of Mercy.

To the southeast, there’s a straight hallway with a Messmerfire Grease on the stairs. At the end, there’s an elevator that takes you down to Belurat – you’ll be on the other side of the branch-blocked path you found after defeating the Divine Beast Dancing Lion. There’s nothing for us to do here at the moment, so there’s no need to take the elevator.

Instead, go west and up the stairs. Keep right and go into the room. Eliminate the shamans inside. Look for a door in the back right corner behind the tree root. Go through, take out the other shaman and grab the rune bow.

Drop down from the edge into the courtyard and eliminate the shamans and the god-skinned shaman who has a Dear Ghost Ash. Take the stairs down on the east side of the courtyard.

On the landing below you will find a large tree surrounded by human flies. Walk west along the roots to find an altar room with another Dear Ghost 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 the same large tree, go to the right. Drop down from the ledge onto the tree. Take the Furlcalling Finger Remedy and then follow the branches to the other side. Drop down onto the ledge and take the Spira Summoning.

Jump off the ledge and go back up the same steps. Go past the tree and take out the Divine Beast Warrior. At the first big ledge, take out the really annoying wizard and then keep to the right. There is a small staircase leading back down the way you just came.

Go down, turn right and take the Ashes of the Inquisitor. Go back to the main stairs and continue up.

At the top of the stairs – above the door – there is another shaman who will ruin your day, so keep going up. Squeeze through the doors to get to the Spiral Rise Location of GraceA Scadu tree fragmentand a Miquela’s Cross.

Go up the spiral staircase to the open window on your left – where this Jerk Caster is. Jump onto the roof and turn right.

Follow the rooftops around and past the Gravebirds. Jump onto the balcony on the other side and immediately go left into the room to find a Dear Ghost Ash.

Back outside, you have two options: follow the stairs up to the next set of roofs, or take a short detour to end up back in the same place. Just a little way up the stairs, look for another set of stairs below you on the right. Jump over the railing to fall onto them.

Go up the stairs and through the door to the Ashes of the Horned Warrior and some Staunching Bolluses. Turn right and climb the ladder.

Head to the balcony to grab the Golden Horn Tender, then climb the next ladder. Jump onto the rooftops ahead and take out the Divine Beast Warrior waiting for you.

Turn left and go into the room at the top of the stairs – this is where the original stairs we jumped from end. Inside you will find a Scadutree Fragment. Go back out and continue across the rooftops to the east.

Keep left and you’ll come to a corpse with a Sunheat Stone. Go back to where you fell out of the tower. Climb up the slanted roofs and into the window.

Image: FromSoftware/Bandai Namco via Polygon

Turn left and climb the stairs to the top. Defeat the Tree Shaman and take the elevator down. Follow the only path you find outside and take out a Cursed Blade so you can pick up a Dark Ancient Dragonforge Stone. Back at the elevator, turn southwest and start it back up.

Image: FromSoftware/Bandai Namco via Polygon

There is a ledge in front of you, just a little bit further up. Jump over and lift the Gravebird Helmet. Drop down, call the lift back and go up.

Image: FromSoftware/Bandai Namco via Polygon

Go outside and up the stairs. Cross the next landing and deal with the Divine Beast Warrior – he is wearing a Horned Warrior’s Greatsword. Walk past him and up the stairs.

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

Go east and up the stairs. You will come to a huge, sandy, open arena and Needle Knight Leda will start talking bad about you.

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

After defeating Leda and her allies, you can collect plenty of loot in the arena – everyone drops their armor and weapons. When you’re done picking things up, continue east. When you reach the hall, Leda herself will be standing to your right for you to loot.

Image: FromSoftware/Bandai Namco via Polygon

Go up the stairs to your left and take the elevator up. Ansbach will be waiting for you at the top. Exhaust his dialogue and then go up the stairs to the Divine Gate, Front Stairs, Place of Grace.
