In the vast and eerie expanse of Elden Ring’s Lands Between, while secrets whisper through the air, adventurers find themselves drawn to the enigmatic Walking Mausoleums. These colossal structures, shrouded in mystery, command both respect and trepidation from the Tarnished. They stand as towering tests of courage and curiosity in the perilous realm of Elden Ring.
Walking Mausoleums: Locations
Scattered across the sprawling landscapes of Elden Ring, the seven Walking Mausoleums leave an indelible mark on the terrain. Their locations hint at their significance and the trials that await brave souls:
Weeping Peninsula
In the Weeping Peninsula, south of Limgrave, look for the Walking Mausoleum in the western region. It’s close to Tombsward, the Fourth Church of Marika, and the Minor Erdtree.
Liurnia of the Lakes
Liurnia of the Lakes boasts three Walking Mausoleums. The first is northeast of Raya Lucaria Academy, near the Raya Lucaria Crystal Tunnel (where you’ll also find the Smithing-Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing for unlimited Smithing Stone purchases).
The other two are close to the Mausoleum Compound Site of Grace, northeast of the Raya Lucaria Crystal Tunnel and near the Minor Erdtree. One patrols north of the Site of Grace, the other circles the small water pool to the south. Note: These two Mausoleums only accept secret boss Remembrances, so you might not be able to duplicate all Remembrances there.
Mountaintop of the Giants Mausoleums
There are two Walking Mausoleums in the Mountaintop of the Giants region. One is located northwest of Ordina, and the other can be found near Castle Sol.
Deeproot Depths Mausoleums
Seek the seventh and final Walking Mausoleum in Elden Ring within the Deeproot Depths. It roams the northwestern corner of the region, north of The Nameless Eternal City Site of Grace. Access it by carefully using the surrounding roots to jump directly onto its back. Remember, the growths you need to destroy are located on the Mausoleum’s walls.
Confronting the Guardians of the Crypts
The Walking Mausoleums are not mere relics; they are heavily fortified bastions. Their spectral-sealed entrances demand a steep price. To gain access, one must first prove their mettle by defeating a unique boss guarding each mausoleum. These battles are no easy feat, requiring adaptability, skill, and perhaps a peek at some Elden Ring boss fight strategies.
Uncovering Hidden Treasures
Within the echoing halls of the mausoleums, secrets await discovery. Challenges abound – from intricate puzzles to concealed chambers and the spectral guardians who protect the treasures within. Yet, the rewards justify the risks. Powerful weapons, sturdy armor, potent talismans, and the coveted Ashes of War await those who dare to delve deep.
Among the most coveted rewards offered by the Walking Mausoleums is the ability to replicate the memories of defeated Elden Ring bosses. This grants additional power and flexibility, allowing players to claim the rewards multiple times. However, this privilege comes at the cost of Mausoleum Bells, so choose wisely.
Unraveling the Mysteries
The Walking Mausoleums stand as more than mere challenges within Elden Ring; they are symbols of a deeper enigma – of lost civilizations, hidden truths, and the lingering echoes of the realm’s fractured past. Why do they wander? What secrets do they hold beyond their treasures? The answers lie buried within the game world or within the interpretations of players.
Venturing into the Unknown
The Walking Mausoleums offer a unique and captivating experience within Elden Ring. Their blend of challenge, mystery, and the allure of valuable rewards make them a must-visit for any intrepid adventurer. By conquering these wandering crypts, players not only strengthen their own prowess, but also unearth fragments of the mysterious lore that shrouds the Lands Between.
