Leyndell, Ashen Capital walkthrough in Elden Ring

By Christine Mason On Jun 8, 2024

Leyndell, the Ashen Capital is the completely altered version of the sumptuous Leyndell, Royal Capital from earlier in Elden Ring.

Exploring it is the last scratch before getting inside the Erdtree and facing the final encounter.

In this Elden Ring walkthrough, we point out the location of the last items for you to grab in the wasteland that is now Leyndell, the Ashen Capital. We’ll also tell you how to reach the fights against Sir Gideon Ofnir, Hoarah Loux, Radagon, and the Elden Beast.

How reach Leyndell, Ashen Capital in Elden Ring

You can only access the Ashen Capital after you have defeated Maliketh in Crumbling Farum Azula. Following a cutscene, you’re teleported to Leyndell. The city is now a fairly short area and there isn’t much to be done here, besides unlocking some lost graces that disappeared from your world map, get to the Subterranean Shunning-Ground if you haven’t done it yet, or heading toward the endgame.

Below, you find the rundown of the east section of the map and all the new areas you can access by going south.

Leyndell, Ashen Capital east walkthrough

You’ll want to start your journey in the modified Leyndell by going east from the lost grace where you wake up after the events in Crumbling Farum Azula. As mentioned, you won’t find enemies around this initial part of the city, so don’t worry about dying. On the other hand, at the east side, all you find is a lost grace — nothing else.

By going as far as possible east, you’ll arrive at some stairs. Climb them and follow the corridor until you find a door to your side that leads into a room. Nothing too special here so, you can move on and climb the stairs to arrive at the upper level.
