How To Get To Moonfolk Ruins Elden Ring

Alright, Tarnished, so you're itching to get your mitts on whatever goodies the Moonfolk Ruins are hiding, eh? I get it. You've probably seen screenshots of ridiculously powerful spells or maybe even just heard whispers around the campfire of some sweet, sweet loot. Trust me, chasing that next upgrade is like chasing the ice cream truck on a sweltering summer day. You gotta get there!

But here's the thing: getting to the Moonfolk Ruins in Elden Ring isn't exactly a Sunday stroll through the park. It's more like trying to assemble IKEA furniture with only half the instructions and a grumpy cat trying to steal your Allen wrench. So, let's break it down, shall we? No need to panic!

Finding the Lake of Rot... Yikes!

First things first, you need to head to the Lake of Rot. Yeah, I know, the name alone should send shivers down your spine. Think of it as the Elden Ring equivalent of that forgotten corner of your fridge where questionable leftovers have been fermenting for weeks. Not pleasant, but necessary.

You can't just waltz right into the Lake of Rot. Getting there is a bit of a quest in itself. The most common route involves going through the Ainsel River Main. You'll need to either progress through Ranni's questline (which, let's be honest, is practically a whole game within the game) or take a scenic detour from the Liurnia of the Lakes, down the Ainsel River. Either way, prepare for creepy crawlies and that general feeling of being utterly and completely lost.

Seriously, the Ainsel River is like that back alley you accidentally wander down after a concert, hoping for a shortcut, only to find yourself surrounded by questionable characters and overflowing dumpsters. Good luck!

Navigating the Rot... Double Yikes!!

Okay, so you've bravely (or foolishly) plunged into the Lake of Rot. Congratulations... I guess? Now comes the fun part: actually navigating the darn place. The whole area is covered in that lovely Scarlet Rot, which is basically Elden Ring's way of saying, "Hey, I hope you like slowly dying!"

Here’s the secret sauce: Preserving Boluses. These little lifesavers will cleanse that nasty rot build-up. Stock up on them, craft them if you can, and chug them like you're trying to win a competitive hot dog eating contest. Seriously, you'll need them. Running through the Lake of Rot without Preserving Boluses is like trying to run a marathon in flip-flops – painful and ill-advised.

You’ll want to head towards the Grand Cloister, a large building structure within the Lake of Rot. Finding it is pretty easy as it is marked on the map. Make sure to activate the grace there before moving forward.

The Coffin Ride of a Lifetime

Okay, you've reached the Grand Cloister. Time for your next step! See that waterfall of rot flowing down in the back of the Cloister? Well, hop on down and you’ll notice a Coffin at the end of it. Interact with the coffin to get taken away.

This is where you get your taxi ride to the Moonfolk Ruins. Consider this your very own rot-fueled Uber. Just try not to think too much about the destination and enjoy the... scenery? Or maybe just close your eyes and hum your favorite tune. Whatever gets you through it!

Once the ride stops, you'll find yourself in a new area. Congratulations, you have finally reached the Moonfolk Ruins!

Now go forth, Tarnished! Explore those ruins, claim your rewards, and try not to dwell on the fact that you just spent a significant portion of your life wading through a toxic wasteland. You've earned a well-deserved pat on the back (and maybe a long, hot shower).

Remember, even the toughest challenges in Elden Ring can be overcome with a little perseverance, a healthy dose of Preserving Boluses, and a willingness to embrace the madness. Happy adventuring!
