Limgrave is the first main area in Elden Ring and the starting point of the game’s sprawling open world.
You reach it directly after completing the tutorial when you leave the Stranded Graveyard and push open the gates to Limgrave, revealing vast lands that are waiting to be explored.
Lush landscapes lay before you: full of ruins, hills and old, weathered structures. And, of course, plenty of fearsome foes that will test your combat skills.
You can now do as you please, and tackle FromSoftware’s massive open-world RPG whatever way you want to. If you’re not sure where to start, then we’re here to guide you through Limgrave, and your first steps in the Lands Between.
