Elden Ring How To Get Back To First Boss

Alright, Tarnished! So you've braved the Lands Between, probably died a billion times (we've all been there!), and you're feeling pretty darn powerful. Maybe you've even forgotten about your roots, where it all began. You know, that lovely chap at the very start, the Grafted Scion?

Yeah, that guy. The one who probably curb-stomped you into oblivion the first time you saw him. Don't worry, no judgement here. We've all been there. But guess what? Now you're a seasoned Elden Lord (in training, at least!), and it's time for a rematch. A little payback, you know?

But, uh oh. How do you actually get back to him? It's not exactly like there's a big, flashing sign pointing the way, is it? Fear not, my friends! This guide is going to show you exactly how to return to that initial trial by fire and show the Grafted Scion who's boss. And trust me, it's easier than you think! (Well, easier than fighting Malenia, at least... shudders)

The Road Back to the Beginning: Four Belfries to the Rescue!

Forget backtracking through Limgrave like it's rush hour on the freeway. We're taking a shortcut, baby! A magical, teleporting shortcut. This is where the Four Belfries come in handy. Now, you might be thinking, "Four Belfries? What in the Three Fingers are those?" Well, I'm glad you asked!

The Four Belfries are located in the Liurnia of the Lakes region, specifically on a cliff overlooking the lake. Head west of the Church of Irith, and you'll find them nestled on a hilltop. There are three towers with activated teleporters (that require Imbued Sword Keys) and one dilapidated one. Keep an eye out for some pesky enemies guarding the area, but nothing you can't handle, right? You're practically an Elden Lord already!

Finding the Imbued Sword Keys

Okay, so here's the catch. To use these teleporters, you need something called an Imbued Sword Key. Each teleporter needs one to activate, and lucky for us, the game actually tells you which belfry leads where. (Isn't that nice of them? Sometimes, anyway.)

There are three belfries you will find that have activated teleporters, you can see a message that reveals its destination. The one you are interested in is the belfry which has the message "Precipice of Anticipation."

So where do you find the Imbued Sword Keys? Well, there are a couple ways:

1. The First Key (and the Easiest!) The first Imbued Sword Key is located right at the Four Belfries. Ascend the first active tower, and loot the chest which is located at the top!
2. The Second Key (a little bit more of a challenge): The second key requires you to complete Ranni's questline until she is in her slumbering phase. Head back to Seluvis' Rise and you should find his corpse at the top, loot the corpse to find the Imbued Sword Key.

Activating the Right Teleporter

Now, grab an Imbued Sword Key, approach the belfry that reads "Precipice of Anticipation," and interact with the imp statue in front of it. You'll be prompted to use the key. Do it! Don't be shy. A little bit of magic never hurt anyone. (Except maybe those poor souls who get caught in the crossfire of our glorious return to Limgrave… Oops!)

Once you use the key, the teleporter will light up, all sparkly and inviting. Step into the swirling vortex, and whoosh! You'll be transported back to where it all began. Get ready for a serious nostalgia trip!

Facing the Grafted Scion: Redemption Time!

You'll find yourself back in the Chapel of Anticipation. This time, though, you're not a fresh-faced newbie. You're a hardened warrior, a champion in the making. You've seen things, you've done things (mostly dying, let's be honest), and you're ready to show that Grafted Scion who's boss.

The fight itself will likely be… well, let's just say it won't be as terrifying as the first time. You're probably over-leveled, over-geared, and just generally a whole lot tougher than you were back then. Feel free to experiment with different weapons, spells, and strategies. This is your victory lap! Treat yourself!

Seriously, this fight can be a great way to test out new builds or just blow off some steam. Feeling stressed about that rune farm that just won't drop the item you need? Take it out on the Grafted Scion! He's been waiting for you. He deserves it.

The Rewards of Revenge (and Exploration!)

So, what do you get for defeating the Grafted Scion this time around? Well, besides the immense satisfaction of finally getting revenge on that early-game bully, you'll also snag some loot. Not a ton, mind you, but hey, every little bit helps, right? You'll obtain:

• Ornamental Straight Sword
• Golden Beast Crest Shield

But even more importantly, you get the satisfaction of knowing how far you've come! Remember struggling to even land a single hit on this guy? Now you're probably mowing him down in seconds. That's progress, baby! That's what Elden Ring is all about!

Beyond the Boss: A Second Chance for Exploration

But wait, there's more! Returning to the Chapel of Anticipation isn't just about fighting the Grafted Scion. It also gives you a second chance to explore this often-overlooked area. Remember that giant bird that dropped you off in Limgrave? Well, he's still hanging around! (Probably wondering where you've been.)

Take some time to poke around the chapel. You might find some hidden items or secrets that you missed the first time. Who knows what treasures await? (Okay, I don't actually know, but the suspense is part of the fun, right?)

Why Bother? The Fun Factor!

Okay, so you might be thinking, "Why should I even bother going back to fight this wimpy boss?" And that's a fair question! But here's the thing: Elden Ring isn't just about min-maxing your stats and grinding for the perfect build. It's also about having fun! And sometimes, the most fun you can have is revisiting old stomping grounds and seeing how much you've grown.

It's a chance to feel powerful, to flex your skills, and to remember why you fell in love with this game in the first place. Plus, it's a nice break from the endless cycle of exploring new areas and facing ever-more-challenging bosses. Sometimes, you just need a little bit of easy victory to remind yourself that you're actually pretty darn good at this game. (Even if you still occasionally fall off cliffs. We all do!)

Think of it as a palate cleanser before diving back into the late-game madness. A little bit of nostalgia, a little bit of revenge, and a whole lot of fun. What's not to love?

So, there you have it! Everything you need to know to return to the Chapel of Anticipation and give the Grafted Scion the beatdown he so richly deserves. Now go forth, Tarnished, and show him what you're made of!

Embrace the Journey (and the Revenge!)

Returning to the Grafted Scion is more than just a simple side quest; it's a reminder of the incredible journey you've undertaken in the Lands Between. It's a testament to your perseverance, your skill, and your unwavering determination to become Elden Lord. So go ahead, take a trip down memory lane, and relish in the satisfaction of overcoming that early-game hurdle. You've earned it!

And hey, if you happen to stumble upon any other secrets or hidden treasures along the way, don't forget to share them with the rest of us! The Lands Between are vast and full of mysteries, and there's always something new to discover. So keep exploring, keep experimenting, and most importantly, keep having fun! The journey to becoming Elden Lord is a long and winding one, but it's also an incredibly rewarding one. Embrace the challenge, embrace the adventure, and embrace the power within you. You've got this, Tarnished!

So what are you waiting for? Go get 'em, Tarnished! And don't forget to celebrate your victory with a well-deserved cup of tea (or maybe something a little stronger… wink wink).

This is just the beginning of your Elden Ring adventure. Now go, explore, and conquer! The Lands Between await!
