Elden Ring: Site of Grace Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide

As the central safe zone for catching your breath and spending runes, the Elden Ring Site of Grace is a must-visit checkpoint for every traveler.

These golden sparks are found all over the world and in the new Nightreign expansion. They act as the main method for fast travel and resetting the world's enemies.

Main Overworld Checkpoints

These are the best spots to unlock early to make moving around the Lands Between much easier:

• Limgrave: The First Step (your starting point) and Gatefront (where you meet Melina and get Torrent).
• Liurnia of the Lakes: Lake-Facing Cliffs (the first view of the lake) and the Academy Gate Town.
• Caelid: Rotview Balcony and the Southern Aeonia Swamp Bank.
• Altus Plateau: Grand Lift of Dectus and the Outer Wall Phantom Tree.
• Mountaintops of the Giants: Zamor Ruins and the Foot of the Forge.

Subterranean and Secret Spots

Finding these is an important part of reaching the game's hidden endings and toughest bosses:

• Siofra River: Siofra River Bank—look for the glowing pillars.
• Nokron, Eternal City: Ancestral Woods—the main way to reach the Night's Sacred Ground.
• Haligtree: Haligtree Canopy—watch out for the vertical drops.

2026 Nightreign: Limveld Safe Zones

The 2026 Nightreign update changes how these work in the Limveld area due to "Shifting Earth" events.

• Limveld Locations: Checkpoints like the Great Church are your main objectives for staying alive during Nightreign Storms.
• Randomized Castle Graces: Inside the Nightreign Castle, Graces are rare. Finding one in the Castle Sewers is a top choice for players because the layout changes every time you die.
• Scholar & Undertaker Tip: If you are playing the Scholar class, some Graces in the Forsaken Hollows will only appear at night or during specific spiritual events.

In 2026, the smartest move for the Nightreign Castle is to avoid relying on Graces. Since the sewers are randomized, a common strategy is to use the Spectral Hawk Trees to scout ahead.

Finding the pressure plate shortcuts is often better than looking for a Grace because they stay open even if you die.
