This guide details how to reach the Jagged Peak region in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. It covers the journey from the Castle Front Site of Grace, through the Dragon's Pit dungeon, and the encounters with Ancient Dragon-Man and other enemies.
Getting to Jagged Peak:
- Before setting off, ensure you have collected Scadutree Fragments and leveled your Revered Spirit Ash Blessing, as Jagged Peak is a difficult area with many dragons.
- Start from the Castle Front Site of Grace, located outside Castle Ensis. If you haven't been there, head east from the Three-Path Cross Site of Grace across Ellac Greatbridge and continue northeast.
- From the Castle Front Site of Grace, head south to the main path going east. Follow this path until you can take the upper path leading east.
- Continue on this path until you reach the Pillar Path Waypoint Site of Grace.
- Proceed past the thin path with dragon statues on either side. You will be invaded by Ancient Dragon-Man, who uses Dragon-style Incantations and a Great Katana. He is susceptible to staggering with heavy weapons.
- After defeating the invader, continue down the path to a cave opening. Enter the cave and use the Site of Grace within.
Navigating Dragon's Pit:
- From the Dragon's Pit Site of Grace, head down the path until you reach the first enemy. Take the northern exit further into the pit, avoiding leaping Skeletons.
- As the path opens, you will find an item containing a Shadow Realm Rune [2] to your left. Be cautious of Skeletons spawning from the ground.
- Continue along the eastern path and take the southern route at the next split, ignoring the northern path.
- This southern path leads to a large altar. Interact with the note that says _“Be brave, Show no fear.”_
- Approach the edge of the altar and leap off.
- You will land outside a fog door. Enter to face another Ancient Dragon-Man, who wields a stronger Great Katana. This fight takes place in a large arena.
- Upon defeating this Ancient Dragon-Man, you will obtain the Dragon-Hunter’s Great Katana.
- Open the large doors ahead and touch the Site of Grace to enter the Foot of the Jagged Peak.
Notes:
- The Dragon's Pit dungeon spirals downwards and contains a Magma Worm. Defeating it yields an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone and a Dragon Heart.
- Skeleton enemies in the Dragon's Pit must be struck again after being downed to prevent them from reviving.
