Count Ymir is an NPC that offers players a series of Ruins Maps to collect treasure in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. Completing his quest is quite time-consuming, as you must visit three different ruins, some of which are locked behind some tough bosses.

The Cathedral of Manus Metyr quest series is heavily related to Jolan's quest in Elden Ring. That’s because Jolan is a loyal follower of Count Ymir and any offense towards the latter will mark you as an enemy in Jolan’s books.

The Talisman of the Dread is great for Tarnished who rely on Magma spells in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree.

Manus Metyr’s Ruins Map Location

Count Ymir can be found in the Cathedral of Manus Metyr. You can access it by going through the hole east of Moorth Ruins and heading northeast from Bonny Village.

The first time you speak with him, he will give you the Ruins Map and a Hole-Laden Necklace. You need to find the location shown on the map and use the necklace to get an item. For the first location, travel from Castle Ensis’s Entrance to the Cerulean Coast in Elden Ring SOTE.

From the Cerulean Coast Cross’s Site of Grace, go east down to the beach, and keep walking in the same direction along the shore until you reach the entrance of the Finger Ruins of Rhia. Go north to where the finger statues are placed in a circle and blow into the bell to get the Crimson Seed Talisman +1 . Go back to Manus Metyr and speak with Count Ymir to get another map as well as the Beloved Stardust Talisman. Additionally, two new spells are added to his collection.

Additionally, you will need the O Mother Gesture to reveal the hidden entrance. By traveling northeast of the Bonny Village Site of Grace, Tarnished can locate the Gesture near a dead tree on a corpse.
