Ainsel River is a Location in Elden Ring. The Ainsel River region features a sprawling cave system with large open caverns housing ruins and waterfalls. You can access the southern part of the region by taking the lift down at Ainsel River Well. The northern part, Ainsel River Main, is accessed by a waygate at the top of Renna's Rise after giving Ranni the Fingerslayer Blade or by taking a coffin in Deeproot Depths (see it on the Elden Ring Map here). This river can also be accessed by a coffin from The Nameless Eternal City Grace Site, from Great Waterfall Basin coffin ride after defeating the two Gargoyles at Siofra Aqueduct.

 

Two great rivers flow beneath the Lands between, the Siofra and the Ainsel. This vast region is said to be the grave of civilizations that flourished before the Erdtree.

Ainsel River Well Depths

From the Study Hall Entrance Site of Grace, summon your mount and head north following the road. Once you reach the area, you'll encounter a Golem guarding the elevator. You can skip past the golem and enter the elevator; the door will automatically open once you go near it. Step on the mechanism to activate the elevator, it will bring you down to Ainsel River.

Once you reach the bottom of the well, touch the site of grace. You'll see a group of Giant Ants clinging to a wall. Ignore them for now and turn right, you'll see a Golden Rune [3] on the ground. Pick it up and head straight from your position down a tunnel. At the edge of the waterfall, there's a corpse, pillage the remains to get Magic Grease x3. There's a Giant Ant overhead that will drop down and attack you on your way out.

Head back to the cave where you saw the Giant Ants clinging to the wall. Bait them one by one or aggro them, using an AoE spell/incantation or Ash of War to quickly finish them off. Flame of the Redmanes , for example, can kill them in one hit. Enter the cave and pillage the corpse for Grace Mimic x8. Be careful, there is one ant waiting to the right just behind the wall ready to ambush you. As you move forward another ant will come up, kill it and turn left, there are two more ants there. Once you get past them, there's a Smithing Stone [3] x1.

Now go back to the main path, there will be two more ants that will drop down from above. Once you get past them you'll see a Silver Firefly x2 on the left side and a Golden Rune [1] x1 by the corpse. On the left side you'll see an ant guarding a corpse holding an item, kill the ant and pillage the corpse for a Smithing Stone [3].

Now jump up and continue following the path. You'll come across a Queen Ant with 7 ants on the ceiling abover her. Killing the queen will drop a Rune Arc x1 and a Golden Rune [10] x1. Eliminate the ants, then backtrack to where you obtained the Silver Firefly earlier. There's a path beyond the room with the Queen Ant, but we will come back to that later. You'll notice there's another path, turn left and continue following that path until you see the end of the tunnel. Immediately you'll spot a Ghost Glovewort [1] by the pillar, and just behind it is a corpse holding a Shattershard Arrow (Fletched) x10. On the left corner there's another corpse holding a Smithing Stone [3].

Once you've gathered the items, head up the stairs and go straight to activate the site of grace in the area. Then turn back and enter the room just beside the site of grace, step on the mechanism to activate the elevator and head down to the Uhl Palace Ruins.

Uhl Palace Ruins

Once you reach the area, jump down the right side and hug the wall on your right and move forward, you'll see a corpse holding a Golden Rune [1]. There's a group of Clayman in the area. Now head up and on the left side, another corpse can be spotted, pillage the corpse to obtain a Golden Rune [3]. Hug the wall on your left to obtain a Smithing Stone [1]. More Claymen will be seen in the area, using a high level AoE spell/incantation will do the trick and one-shot these opponents. On the right side you'll spot another corpse holding a Golden Rune [2]. Just behind the wall is another Ghost Glovewort [1]. From here, you'll see two items above you but to get them, you will need to backtrack to where you encountered the Queen Ant earlier and follow that path. Once you reach the edge, jump down, you'll see a corpse, pillage the remains to obtain a Smithing Stone [4]. then jump down the platform below, another corpse lays there holding a Celestial Dew. Then you can jump down and head to the entrance.

More clayman will be present in the hallway. Once you reach the end of the hallway, you will immediately spot multiple items on the ground, but be quick to take cover as a Malformed Star will start shooting at you. The items you will obtain from the corpses on the stairs are a Furcalling Finger Remedy, Throwing Dagger x6, Magic Grease x2, and a Golden Rune [3]. Ignore the Claymen at your left for now and turn right, a group of Claymen will also be present, you can try to run past them or you can use a one-hit AoE spell/incantation or AoW to get past them. Go up the stairs and pillage the corpse there to obtain another Golden Rune [3]. There will be three Claymen by the stairs, you can just run past them. Be wary of the Malformed Star as it will keep shooting you once it sees you out of a cover. Continue running until you go under the Malformed Star and reach a ruin, enter the ruin and you will encounter a the Hermit Merchant Ainsel River. But first, pick up the Map: Ainsel River from the corpse by the pillar on your right. This merchant sells the Prisoner Set, Gravity Stone Fan, Gravity Stone Chunk, Lost Ashes of War, a Celestial Dew, Nomadic Warrior's Cookbook [16], and the Perfumer's Cookbook [4].

Now turn back and head to the previous hallway, as you make your way through you'll see a corpse holding a Shield Grease. After reaching the end of the hallway, turn left: there's a path there leading to a tunnel on the left. Enter the tunnel, and at the end of it you can see a broken pillar, which you can use to platform up to reach the Malformed Star. On the left side is a corpse holding a Smithing Stone [1] x3. Heading up, jump to the right platform to pillage the corpse holding a Smithing Stone [3]. Loot these now, unless you want to circle all the way around after defeating the Malformed Star. Jump back to the previous platform and make your way to the edge on the right and hug the wall. It may be impossible to fully dodge the rocks that the Malformed Star will sling at you, so just keep rolling if you can't find cover before it starts its next attack. Then make your way up, and jump down to fight the Malformed Star. You can use the pillars as cover for when it starts shooting again.

You can jump down the edge on the right corner, then jump down again and you'll see a corpse, pillage the remains to obtain Smithing Stone [3] x3. Jump down again and hug the wall on the right and you'll eventually encounter a site of grace. Continue following the path and you'll encounter a couple of Giant Ants in the area, you can sneak attack them to avoid direct confrontation. There are also some items on the ground like a Formic Rock, Smithing Stone [2] x3, an Immunizing Horn Charm, and Crystal Dart x5. Follow the left path ahead, there's another Formic Rock on the right and on the left are two Basilisks, you can take them by surprise as they have their back turned against you. There will be two more Basilisks up front as you make your way through, there will also be more Formic Rocks present in the area. As you move forward, there's a Formic Rock on the right, just behind it is another Basilisk guarding a corpse, pillage its remains to obtain Soap x4. At the edge of the cliff you'll see a couple of Aeonian Butterflies and a corpse holding a Somber Smithing Stone [3].

Now head back to the previous area where you sneaked up on some Giant Ants, then turn left. There are three more Giant Ants in the area, you can also sneak up on each of them as they are not that close to each other and all of them have their backs turned against you. Continue moving forward then turn left on the first corner, there's a corpse holding Melted Mushroom x3. Turn around and head straight, there's a Ghost Glovewort [2]. Turn around again and head right. At the end of the tunnel, you will encounter Dragonkin Soldier of Nokstella, this will be a boss fight, to learn more about strategies and tactics on how to defeat this boss, visit its page right here.

Once you've beaten the boss, you'll receive the Frozen Lightning Spear Incantation and gain 12,000 Runes, a site of grace will also appear. Now head inside the tower and open the chest to obtain the Great Ghost Glovewort.

Now fast travel to Ranni's Chamber and go down stairs. Once you're outside, summon your mount and continue heading north-east to reach Renna's Rise. Go inside and climb up the ladder and go upstairs. Use the waygate to fast travel to the Ainsel River Main.

      This whole underground area is easily the most memorable moment in the game for me. Really gives that DS1 feeling of just going deeper, and deeper, and deeper to the point where you can’t tell if your even underground anymore and in a different plain of existence. Starting with a barely noticeable, unassuming well in Liurnia, going down, and down into the tiny cave systems full of those freaky ants. You go down further, fighting through ant nests, until you find your way into ancient ruins full of giant gravity monsters, descending further, the cavern opens up into an ancient underground city, then bellow that an ancient lake of rot, bellow that a scarlet rot temple, and far, FAR far beneath everything, is the starry night cavern where we meet Astel. Honestly loved every bit of it (besides the lake of rot, **** that place lol)

          You can avoid all the volleys from the Malformed Star in Uhl Palace Ruins on the way up to kill it. Stop halfway up the toppled pillar, behind the larger pillar. Run over the big square pillar and onto the rock path, then duck behind the square pillar you just ran over. Run halfway up the big rock ramp and wait for the next volley. Then run up to the star. There's no good visual cue for the spot half up the ramp, but it's also very lenient.

                      If you have the faith for it, Lightning Strike makes the claymen in this area a COMPLETE joke and also an EXCELLENT source of midgame rune farming. Find a big pack of them, cast lightning strike once, then just keep mashing the button until everyone is dead - the spell repeat casts RIDICULOUSLY quickly and totally melts these guys. Trying to fight them in melee sucks because they have a TON of posie.

                      • Really buggy place. Runes where nowhere to be found after death with map pointing to empty location. One of the two summons dissapeared while still being alive.
