How To Get To Mountaintops Of The Giants in Elden Ring

The Mountaintops of the Giants are a region where titans of men once walked but now is naught but an empty waste populating the vengeful spirits of its predecessors. It is located northeast from the Lands Between by means of a certain grand lift.

Reaching the Mountaintops is one of the crucial parts of Elden Ring's storyline because it houses one of its most fearsome bosses, Fire Giant, whose defeat is mandatory for progressing further to Crumbling Farum Azula and then forward to the final boss in Leyndell, Ashen Capital.

How To Get To The Mountaintops Of The Giants In Elden Ring

To reach the Mountaintops of the Giants in Elden Ring, players will need to use the Grand Lift of Rold, which can be found east of the story-important area called Leyndell, Royal Capital. Said location is only accessible after having defeated Morgott, The Omen King, in Leyndell, so it is progression-locked. To all the players who are curious about where exactly the Grand Lift is and through what steps one would progress in it, well, here is a detailed explanation.

How to Get Rold Medallion in Elden Ring

Once the player has defeated Morgott, the Omen King in Leyndell's Royal Capital, Melina presents them with a gift called the Rold Medallion. Unlike other bosses that fell, the body of Morgott did not disappear, and a Site of Grace did not immediately appear. For some reason, this beats on the player's self-esteem to make them explore further until they find their way to Erdtree, whose entrance is blocked.

Upon making your return to Morgott's arena, a Site of Grace materializes. Resting at this, Melina appears and details the Erdtree is unreachable as it must be burned. She sends the player to the Mountaintops of the Giants, giving the Rold Medallion, as well as putting the location on the map for the Grand Lift of Rold.

How To Get To The Grand Lift Of Rold

The Grand Lift of Rold is northeast of the Forbidden Lands Site of Grace. To reach this, head up the giant wooden elevator behind the enormous open door in Leyndell, opposite the Erdtree Avatar. On the other side of this elevator and beyond that path lies a stone elevator to the Forbidden Lands Site of Grace.

From there, ride Torrent northeast, following your map until the appearance of the Black Blade Kindred lets you know you've arrived. Take the time now to activate the nearby Site of Grace and Stake of Marika, so you have an easy respawn point. Then head past-or through-the Black Blade Kindred and interact with the Grand Lift using the Rold Medallion to head up onto the Mountaintops of the Giants.

Pursue these steps, and you'll come upon the Mountaintops of the Giants in Elden Ring; from here, you can continue farther on.
