Elden Ring: Dungeon Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide

Exploring the dark corners of the Lands Between is an important step for any player wanting to find the best loot and toughest bosses.

Elden Ring Dungeons are underground zones—ranging from tiny caves to massive castles. They are the best way to find upgrade materials and unique gear. 

Major Legacy Dungeons

These are the massive, multi-layered areas that act as the main checkpoints for the story:

• Stormveil Castle (Limgrave): The dungeon where you can find your first Great Rune and meet Margit the Fell Omen.
• Academy of Raya Lucaria (Liurnia): A top choice for magic users to find powerful spells and the Queen of the Full Moon.
• Leyndell, Royal Capital (Altus): This is an important part of reaching the late game and the Erdtree itself.
• Shadow Keep (DLC): The main source of lore and gear in the Realm of Shadow.

Essential Caves and Catacombs

These smaller dungeons are the best locations for finding specific upgrade items:

• Raya Lucaria Crystal Tunnel (Liurnia): Should be visited to get the Smithing-Stone Miner's Bell Bearing [1].
• Gael Tunnel (Caelid): A top choice for early-game players to find the Moonveil Katana.
• Sainted Hero's Grave (Altus): This is a must-visit spot for high-level spirit ashes and a legendary armor set.
• Sealed Tunnel (Altus): The best way to reach the Divine Tower of West Altus.

2026 Nightreign: Limveld Randomized Dungeons

The 2026 Nightreign update introduced new dungeon types in the Limveld region that change based on "Shifting Earth" events.

• Nightreign Castle: This is mandatory for the 2026 endgame. The internal layout and enemy placements are randomized, making each trip a new challenge.
• Forsaken Hollows (Caves): These appear and disappear depending on the day. They are the top locations for finding Night-Aspect reagents.
• Great Church Ruins: During a Nightreign Storm, the basement opens into a large dungeon. This is the only path to finding the secret gear for the Scholar and Undertaker classes.
