The Shadow of the Erdtree expansion has provided fans with another compelling reason to delve into the rich world of Elden Ring. However, this expansion is not merely an extension of the main game; it significantly diverges from it in many aspects.

One notable change is the level design. The Land of Shadow is much more complex. While some fans appreciate this added depth, others may find navigation challenging. The Cathedral of Manus Metyr is a particularly important location that fans should explore, though reaching it is no easy feat. The guide below details the exact route you have to take to reach the location.

Elden Ring's publisher, Bandai Namco, offers some important advice to players who are struggling with Shadow of the Erdtree's difficulty.

Use your Torrent to descend below; be cautious as enemies may be present, so be on your guard. As you descend, follow the cave that continues downward. Instead of proceeding through the door illuminated by two candles, turn around and go down even further. Once you've reached the bottom, head towards the cave directly in front of you where you'll encounter a ladder. Climb upwards, and you'll arrive at Bonny Village, your first pit stop on this journey.

Interact with the site of grace directly in front of you, then proceed southeast briefly before heading eastward. You'll encounter a broken bridge that's too far to cross directly. Descend below and turn right to find a path upward again. Cross the next two bridges ahead of you to reach a forested area.

Continue following the road and take a left when it diverges. Eventually, you will arrive at The Cathedral of Manus Metyr. This location is crucial to your journey as it is where you will encounter the merchant Count Ymir and his servant, Jolan.
