Quick Links
Stormfoot Catacombs are the home to one of the five Erdtree Burial Watchdogs in Elden Ring. The Catacombs are located at the start of the game, so players can scavenge them and loot them early.
One of the best things about exploring Catacombs in Elden Ring is the Grave Gloveworts and the new Spirit Ashes. Grave and Ghost Gloveworts can upgrade Spirit Ashes to make them stronger (or even tankier), which can be used to take down tough bosses.
Stormfoot Catacombs Location and Walkthrough in Elden Ring
Stormfoot Catacombs are located in Limgrave, northeast of the Church of Elleh in Elden Ring. To reach it, start from the Church and ride northwest until players reach a giant broken pillar. Behind that pillar, there will be a door that leads inside the Catacombs. Light the Stormfoot Castle Site of Lost Grace and proceed forward.
To open the Boss Chamber in Stormfoot Catacombs, players have to find the Lever inside. Be careful, though, since the Catacombs are filled with Jade Imps hiding within its corners, ready to ambush.
Follow the corridor and take the first right turn. Keep moving until players reach small stairs leading down into a room filled with Imps.
Keep moving forward and avoid their ambush (or fight them). Then, head forward into the narrow path in front.
Tarnished have to follow a long hallway protected by a mechanism that shoots fire along the entire hallway, and of course, there’s another wave of Imps hiding and ready to ambush.
Avoid the fire and turn right until players come upon another mechanism. This time, it’s better to shut it down. Tarnished can use one of the following methods:
- Shoot it with an arrow using a Bow or a Crossbow.
- Wait for the mechanism to stop shooting fire, then sprint towards it to strike it, taking shelter in the hallway’s corners if necessary.
Inside the room that has the second machine, there should be a ladder leading players out of these hallways. But be careful; this room is also crawling with Jade Imps.
Climb up the ladder to reach the room that has the Wandering Noble Ashes. Make sure to pick it up.
From here, locate an easy ledge and jump down to find the hidden Lever that opens the Boss Chamber.
Pull the Lever, jump down, and trail back to the start of the Catacombs. Now that the door is open, players can travel through the mist to face the Erdtree Burial Watchdog.
Defeating the boss rewards Tarnished with 1300 Runes and the Noble Sorcerer Ashes.
