As Map (Caelid) is located east of Limgrave , many Elden Ring players mistake it to be the next area after defeating Godrick the Grafted . Unfortunately, Caelid is full of powerful monsters and bosses that’ll surely cause issues and quickly change players' minds into finding the real next area after Limgrave.

Elden Ring: 10 Things To Do First

Elden Ring can be a massive game for players to jump into; here are some things to do first to give you a good start.

After the final duel between Starscourge Radahn and Malenia in Elden Ring, Caelid was infected with Scarlet Rot and became inhabited by the undead monsters. Because of the region’s harsh environment, locating and fighting all its bosses may seem like an arduous task for Tarnished.

Updated on July 1, 2024, by Nahda Nabiilah: It's tempting to head to Caelid after completing exploration in Limgrave since the Region is completely accessible from the starting area. However, the difference in levels between both regions is a lot, so early-game players are better off exploring Liurnia of the Lakes instead. Some, if not most, of Caelid bosses are ruthless and require higher level and more advanced equipment.

All Caelid Bosses Locations And Drops In Elden Ring

Caelid is considerably smaller than all the other regions, which is why it can only be split into two sections; Map (Dragonbarrow) and Main Caelid.

Black Blade Kindred

The Black Blade Kindred (Bestial Sanctum) is found guarding the entrance to the Bestial Sanctum. The fastest way to reach it is by using the Waygate situated near the Third Church of Marika in Limgrave.

Defeating the Black Blade Kindred boss rewards 88,000 Runes, Gargoyle's Blackblade , and Gargoyle's Black Halberd.

Flying Dragon Greyll

Flying Dragon Greyll is ‌on the bridge southeast of the Bestial Sanctum . Like the Black Blade Kindred, players can get to it quickly by using the same waygate in Limgrave. Upon defeating Flying Dragon Greyll, 80,000 Runesand a Dragon Heart are rewarded.

Night's Cavalry

There are two Night’s Cavalry that can be found in Caelid. The first boss is in the Map (Dragonbarrow) section, north of Lenne’s Rise in Elden Ring, and it drops 42,000 Runes as well as Ash of War: Bloodhound's Step .
