Make your way through the Siofra River and uncover all sites of graces and obelisk locations with our complete Elden Ring walkthrough.
Track your progress through the Siofra River with our interactive map of the region.
| 1 |  Head to the Siofra River Well south of the Third Church of Marika and just north of the Minor Erdtree in East Limgrave. Head inside the building and activate the platform to descend to Siofra River. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  Once the platform reaches the bottom, activate the nearby Siofra River Well Depths Site of Grace. |
| 4 |  Head up to the nearby ruins, taking care to avoid the Claymen, and grab the Smithing Stone 4 on the corpse hanging over the ledge. Note: You can ride Torrent in this area. |
| 4.5 |  Further upwards is a corpse hanging over a small ledge. Loot the corpse for a Smithing Stone 2. |
| Optional |   Before heading to the lift, you can head up the hill and climb the pillars to reach the ceiling area of the ruins. There is a hole in the ceiling where you can drop down to reach a scarab and a Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot on a corpse. Kill the scarab to receive the Oracle Bubbles sorcery. |
| 5 |  Head to the waterfall area and loot the closest corpse for another Smithing Stone 4. Be careful as you approach the area as the nearby Claymen will start following you. |
| 6 |  Activate the platform to head up to the main area of Siofra River. |
| 6.5 |  Climb down the lift and head north following the river. Stick to the right side of the riverbank to avoid aggroing the Giant Crab nearby. |
| 7 |  Activate the Siofra River Bank Site of Grace once you reach the opening. |
| 7.5 |  Light the flame on the obelisk northeast of the Site of Grace. You will need to light 7 more obelisks to activate the boss fight in this area. |
| 8 |   Head east from the Site of Grace to the Hallowhorn Grounds and loot the Siofra River Map from the corpse on the entrance. |
| 9 |   Head northwest from the Site of Grace and into a small forested grove with spectral Ancestral Followers. Light the second obelisk at the very western part of the grove. |
| 9.5 |   Head back to the small island north of the Site of Grace and loot the corpse for a Somber Smithing Stone 2. There is also an arcane waygate on the island that will take you to the northernmost part of the Siofra River. Note: It's safer to approach the the island from the second obelisk to avoid aggroing the lightning orbs. |
| Optional |   If you started Blaidd the Half-Wolf's quest in Mistwood Ruins and swore allegiance to Ranni at Ranni's Rise, then you'll find Blaidd northeast of the Hallowhorn Grounds near a Spiritspring Vortex. Speak to him to advance his and Ranni's questline. Note: It's recommended to ride Torrent to this location to outrun the three spectral Ancestral Followers that will spawn in the forest nearby. |
| 10 |   Head north from the Hallowhorn Grounds to the large island with three spectral Ancestral Followers and light the third obelisk. Note: It's safer to approach the island from Blaidd the Half-Wolf's second location to avoid aggroing the patrolling lightning orbs. |
| 11 |   Head east from the third obelisk and follow the path to a cliffside where spectral Ancestral Followers will spawn, and light the fourth obelisk at the edge of the cliff. |
| 12 |   Slightly northwest of the fourth obelisk is the fifth obelisk. Aggroing the two patrolling lightning orbs nearby and dodging their attacks will cause them to disappear, letting you safely light the obelisk. |
| 12.5 |  Head northwest from the fifth obelisk and activate the Worshippers' Woods Site of Grace. |
| 13 |   Head slightly southwest from the Worshippers' Woods Site of Grace and into a small clearing with the sixth obelisk. A spectral Ancestral Follower will appear as soon as you approach the area. Note: A second spectral Ancestral Follower will appear after defeating the first one; defeat both so you can safely light the sixth obelisk. |
| 14 |   Head north from the Worshippers' Woods Site of Grace, keeping close to the cliff edge, to find the seventh obelisk. Defeat the two spectral Ancestral Spirits and rats to safely light the obelisk. Note: Attack the bow-wielding Ancestral Followers to prevent them from using their powerful magical bow attack. |
| 15 |   Head west from the seventh obelisk and up the small outcropping to find the eight obelisk. A message saying Power gathers somewhere in horned remains will appear if you successfully lit all eight obelisks. Note: Make sure to lure the rats away from the obelisk so that you don't accidentally aggro the two spectral ancestral followers. |
| 16 |  Return to the Hallowhorn Grounds. The corpse at the end will now glow and a prompt to touch the horned remains will appear. |
| 16.5 | 
Touching the horned remains will transport you into a new area. Pass through the fog to engage the Ancestor Spirit in a boss battle! ▶ How to Beat the Ancestor Spirit |
