How To Get To Church Of Inhibition in Elden Ring

In Elden Ring the mysterious NPC can give players access to a specialized item called the Bloody Finger, which is never consumed, making it the cheapest option for bloodthirsty invaders.

The white masked NPC will ask players to soak a cloth in maiden blood. For this there is a fountain of Maiden Blood located in the Church of Inhibition. Although getting there is dangerous. But don't worry, with this guide you can achieve it:

How To Get To Church Of Inhibition in Elden Ring

Standard Approach:

Liurnia of the Lakes Access:  Ensure you have access to Liurnia of the Lakes. This can be achieved by defeating Rennala, Queen of the Demigods, at Raya Lucaria Academy or by activating the Grand Lift of Dectus.

Traverse the Woods:  Travel north from the designated Liurnia of the Lakes entrance point. Follow the path through the woods, remaining vigilant for regular enemies.

Avoiding Madness:  As you progress, a large tower will come into view. This structure emits Madness, a status effect that can be detrimental. To avoid its influence, break line of sight with the tower by hugging the cliffs on the right side of the path.

Frenzied Flame Village:  Continue uphill until you reach a dilapidated village teeming with Madness-afflicted enemies. Proceed with caution and be prepared for combat.

Crucible Knight Vyke:  Upon reaching the village outskirts, you'll encounter Crucible Knight Vyke, a formidable NPC invader. Defeating him is necessary to access the Church of Inhibition. However, some players report Vyke not invading under specific circumstances (consult online resources for details).

Alternative Path (Advanced Players):

An alternative, more challenging route exists for experienced players. This path involves navigating cliffs near the Erdtree, bypassing the Madness-inducing tower and Vyke. This approach requires precise platforming and carries inherent risks.

Reaching the Church:

Once Vyke is defeated (or bypassed), proceed to the Church of Inhibition, a ruined structure atop the hill. Interact with the Maiden seated within the chair to gain access to potential rewards.

Additional Notes:

The Church of Inhibition plays a role in Varre's questline. If you possess an item he bestows, consider its potential use within the church.

Online resources offer detailed maps and visual guides that can supplement this textual explanation.

With these steps and considering the additional notes, you will be well on your way to reaching the Church of Inhibition in Elden Ring. Remember, venturing through Liurnia de los Lagos presents numerous dangers. Prepare accordingly and adapt your strategy as necessary.
