Consecrated Snowfield | Elden Ring Wiki

This area might not be that great, but it's so atmospheric, I love how isolated it feels.

Explosive flame is not in the list of magic. it is obtained when killing the death rite bird

Submit

I played through the game a couple of times but only now did I notice the two zombie nobles trying to get their friend out who stuck in the snow. I love these fun little details

Submit

Can't see anything and all the worst enemies in the game (like Runebears) with so much bloated health and damage. Fromsoftware definitely don't play their own games.

Submit

surprised to see so many negative comments. On my first playthrough of the game i for sure thought the blizzard affecting vision was annoying but i didnt hate the zone. This area isn't any harder than the others.

Submit

For your entertainement, today's battle : Theodorix vs land octopuses.
Fried rowa will be provided.
Fried octopus will be available at the end of the event.

Submit

lol they actually doubled down on the abomination that was Frigid Outskirts, this game really tanks second half

Submit

Genuinely the worst area ever in a fromsoft game, IMO. Not being able to see anything + a bunch of enemies that can burst down your health immediately is horrible design. I actually think this game is too big and some areas suffered greatly because of it. It's still one of the best open world games ever, but some places in this game run counter to the design philosophy of their smaller scale more carefully crafted games. This area is like playing DS2 again.

Submit

Frigid Outskirts was not enough?

Submit

I love this area, except for the blizzard and the spectral dragonkin soldiers and the runebear and the red wolf surrounded by a pack of smaller wolves and the lightning blasting orbs. Other than that, it's a gorgeous area.

Submit

The developers really gave up on this part of the game, I mean, just wow...

Submit

I'll take Frigid Outskirts over this garbage any day

Submit

Need to add the Invading Sanguine Noble to the list of “Creatures and Enemies”

Submit

I just want to say that i hate this abomination of a map, and that i'll never play it again, good day

Submit

Anyone else find the half buried undead noble in the snow. Everyone is having a blast in the consecrated snowfield!

Submit

Why didn't you put the ghost dragonkin soldiers that respawn infinitely? Missing information.

Submit

This area isn't nearly as bad as it seems if you are properly leveled and equiped. Just get to where you are going and come back when you are ready to explore it. Those runebears still hit like a truck though.

Submit

What's the deal with those spectral dragonkin? is it the same one spawning over and over regardless of players killing it, or is there a pack? I've killed them a few times but then had another pop up or the same one respawn right away.

Submit

Only good part of this area is that one invisible teardrop scarab with the wolves trying to chase it. idk its just so cute to watch

Submit

the secret snowy areas in every other game have had tons of unique enemies and bosses, this one is just a bunch of **** from throughout the game thrown into an open field. sasuga tanimura-san i guess.

Submit

What the hell are those giant skeletons called?

Submit

There is no reason to fight the red wolf and its 10 friends. It gives you only runes.

Submit

Found another item missing on the map. It was a Rune, sitting on a dead body east of Apostate Derelict. Map Location -61 / 135.
Go South-East from the Site of Grace: Apostate Derelict, towards the river, and you will see a path down, on the ledge overlocking the river is a body with the item on it.

Submit

The area is beautiful, and as much as I adore the snowfield, travel through a blizzard and see a beautiful snowy forest when it clears, I just can’t excuse the sheer brutality of it. Both this and Mountaintop suffer from the “skip all of it and sprint to the end” and that’s kind of a shame for how wonderful these areas could’ve been.

Submit

I found a Somber Smithing Stone 8 or 9 on top of the Stone Spire just south of Albinauric rise east side of consecrated snowfield. Missing on the map, so added a comment on the map page as well. On the way up to the way gate, hold left until you find a school of magic just next to the base of a stone spire formation, that school of magic has the magic rain, defeat it, then jump to the top of the stone spire and there is a somber smithing stone. -74 / 148 is the location on the map.

Submit

Only area in the game where I feel like I'm being punished for exploring - at least lake of rot had really good loot for how early it was

Submit

I usually use light armor and fun builds until I reached this place. It is the no-fun zone so far with the fog and barren open areas with boring enemies like that stupid red wolf that is guarded by like 9 other wolves.

Submit

I beat the runebear. Now waiting for Miyazaki-san to give me a call and congratulate me on my nobel price.

Submit

it forgot Anastasia tarnished Eater as one of the NPC's

Submit

Outside of Latenna’s questline, this area has no real reason for existing. In fact, they could’ve put Ordina in Flame Peak or the Moutaintops, same as the churches, overworld bosses, caves, etc.

It legitimately feels like this area’s only reason for existing is to pad runtime, which is not something I would normally ever say in FromSoftware’s case.

Submit

Killing the Dragon and the Erdtree Avatar disable coop in the area. So avoid killing those until last if you'd like to summon friends

Submit

Some pointers on how to get through the fog or whatever it is would have been nice. Also, is there any worthwhile loot in that blizzard worth stumbling around to find it? Not golden runes, furled finger remedies, mushrooms or any other turd loot no one gives the least amount of f**ks for?

Submit

Even the walking Mausoleum is out to murder you in this place.

Submit

Its a beautiful area, but at the same time it can be a very very cruel and horrible one at times.

Submit

"We have frigid outskirts at home"

Submit

This took me forever to figure out, and I think they added an NPC to tell you about it in a recent patch:

There is a path of candle-like lights on the ground that you can follow through the blizzard.

Unfortunately, the lights are pale yellow, so it's very easy to miss them against the blinding white fog.

Submit

I hate I basically skipped on this area. Yeah, seems like a pain in the a** at first sight but now, looking at the amount of content available there I feel stupid not completing it. NG #2 here I come.

Submit

I can't see! buuut latenna gave me a sick smithing stone and I got to the haligtree. 10/10 would get chased by a dragonkin in sheer terror again

Submit

dragonkinsoldier**** valley

Submit

Yes, the Bear, the Dragonkin spirits, and the Wolf Archers were kinda cancerous, but have you tried fighting the Red Wolf in the snowstorm while also being attacked and staggered by 10 rabid grey wolves non-stop while also hopelessly trying to dodge magic projectiles that literally spawn out of sight and deal 40% of your HP as damage?

Submit

Is there a way to kill the giant spectral... I'm not sure what it is, a skeleton knight on all fours or maybe a dragonkin knight?, it is between the area with the two knight riders in the clearing before yellow anix ruins, you can hear it walking around, i whittled it's health down to 0 4 times in a row but he keeps immediately re-spawning.

Submit

...I don't think the two carriages are supposed to be under the 'Sites of Grace' list.

Submit

Frigid outskirts PTSD

Submit

I genuinely enjoyed this area. It's awesome, no sarcasm. Tough to see in the blizzard, but using the map plus cardinal directions it's actually really simple. And I loved clearing the entire blizzard area, even that Red Wolf! Very fun to have this variety in the game. And dodging the lightning balls is simple folks - just trigger them and run behind a tree or rock, or let Torrent take the brunt (sprint on her, then heal her with raisins, as she'll take damage from the aoe). Best tip of all though, activate the Inner grace and then explore, this causes most of the area to be cleared of the whiteout blizzard.

Submit

I'm not even being salty when I say this but I 100% believe the game would be improved drastically if this whole area was just completely removed from the game.

Submit

This place makes Caelid look cute.

Submit

They basically dumped every type of enemy into this area, with 100x health and damage and with no visibility, and just said "there you go - beat that". In fact that just describes the second half of the game to be honest.

Submit

We are definitely in need of a map marker for the Mohgwin Palace teleport. Unless players want to 100% every zone they encounter, there is a very slim chance they will notice a tiny gateway hidden in a corner guarded by a single mob in their first playthrough, especially without consulting web resources.

Varre's questline is fine, but stowing away an alternative access to a game zone that might as well play part in the upcoming (hopefully) DLC is just unacceptable.

Submit

This place is evil.

Submit

The Dragonkin Soldier Summon/Spirit Ashes aren't listed as enemies, but should be.

Submit

lmao the only unique enemy in the Consecrated Snowfield is Malenia

now I'm REALLY glad I sprinted past everything

Submit

There is a red wolf on the eastern cliff, south of the frozen river.

Submit

I’m a huge sucker for snow areas in games and this place in the evening and at night with the ambiance is really pretty and relaxing, I just wish I wasn’t getting gunned down by wolfback albinuarics the whole time

Submit

This area isn't as bad as comments are saying, like... Wow guys, come on it's annoying, but not the end all be all of bad areas geeze

Submit

I'm glad they re-hired the Guy Who Hates Video Games to design this level after his fantastic work on the frigid outskirts

Submit

They really couldn't be bothered in the last half of this game huh? Beyond the albinaurics riding wolves and the envoys there is not a single new enemy in this game past the capital

Submit

So.. I've come across like five different ones of the arcane sphere enemies like what you find in witchbane ruins out here. I see no mention of them on this page or anywhere really. They don't drop anything, a couple of them do the normal pop out of the ground bit, but some are just kind of chilling out around a corpse with no special loot on it. I can't see anything that they would be doing in particular so far, but my current thought is maybe they've got something to do with the dragonkin spirits?

Submit

There are also black knife assassins inside the evergaol

Submit

Ah I’m glad they gave us the best ds2 reference in the guise of reindeer fückland

Submit

"I loved Frigid Outskirts, I hope an area with the same mechanics makes a return in Elden Ring" -said nobody ever

Submit

I liked the area. Compared to the rest, it has a lot of environmental story telling, which makes exploration rewarding.

And I loved the wolves chasing the ball :)

Submit

this area be like "random bullshit go!"

Submit

Some people must be playing these games with some messed up picture settings on your TV's acting like it's the games fault u can't see the grace how would you even know it's there if it's invisible anyway fix your settings or maybe your just going blind get your eyes checked maybe?

Submit

other elden ring players: “this is so beautiful”

the area: *literally impossible to see*

and i’m not even talking about the blizzard. i can’t see sh*t anywhere in the area. it’s all white. even the sights of grace are invisible.

Submit

dev1: “you know the worst area in our worst game”
dev2: “yeah, why”
dev1: “what if we remade it, but somehow way worse”
miyazaki: “yes”

Submit

I love the wolves chasing the ball lol cracked me up.

Submit

The area when you enter, with the dragonkin soldier spirits you can't get rid off, as there is no summoner for them, makes me want to slap people. Whatever item there is, it's not worth it.

Submit

Huh, other wiki pages have walkthrough for the area no matter how small or large they are, this page just includes a bunch of listings. One of the hardest area in the game, or is that no one has cleared this place yet to be able to write a comprehensive guide lol?

Submit

From Royal Capital find lift up in round building (whole floor is a lift) in the Misbegotten controlled area. This leads to passage to Forbidden Lands and Divine Tower (once you remove the seal on the door by killing boss that put it there in Royal Capital). Grand Lift of Rold is at the end of Forbidden lands, and takes you to Consecrated Snowfield by default.

my thoughts on this place. I have around ~300h ingame and going very slowly, to explore and find everything on my own, bosses, items etc (then I check guides and such but I usually miss just one item here and there). for as much as I disliked moutaintops of the giants, this area might actually be my favorite. it feels like a condensation of the previous places of the game, it wants to test everything you learned. I tried to understand why so many people hated the consecrated snowfield, and I believe it's because this zone is mainly "empty" in terms of rewards and achievements, which isn't a concern to me. it's a transition area, to go either to haligtree or to moghwyn palace, and people don't want to waste time here. from another perspective, I 100% every previous areas, and almost finished that one, every time at the "average" level I should've been (I know it's all subjective but I try to be careful to not be op), and the difficulty feels consistent to me (I'm level 108 rn, with +18 halberds and clawmark seal). I died a lot here, but I died a lot in other places too. What I do understand though is how this place might feel frustrating however, it asks a lot to the player, and it might even be worse with the game fatigue as you get closer to the endgame. Well, what's my point exactly I'm not sure, I'd say don't put the "worse place in the game" label too soon..the fog area is not even 1/3 of the consecrated snowfield..but it's all your own opinion in the end. And I liked that place :)

Submit

Anyone know where the gateway on the east side go? The one behind the Lesser Red Wolf?
Just wanna know of it's worth killing it to get through the gateway.

Submit

Masterpiece my ass elden ring has quite some lowpoints and this is one of them **** this place

Submit

It is not clear at all by the info on this wiki how to reach the Consecrated Snowfield.

Submit

Dark Souls II 2 ahead

Submit

So many whiny comments here. Truly maidenless behavior, get good whiners.

Submit

Oddly enough, on one of my characters half of the enemies of this zone are gone. No wolf-riders or Followers. My other character has all the enemies there. Both arrived normally with the lift.

Submit

The snowstorm is mainly at the entrance half of the area and once you get to the frozen river, all becomes cleared up. Also its way easier to go opposite way (from river towards entrance grace) because snow seems less dense that way (while still pretty annoying). Killing the Runebear popping out of half-buried man does not remove the snow storm. I even tried kiling all the Runebears in area with no difference to the weather. And about the Coffin caravans - hilarious detail is you can make chains of the yeti break after some damage and they rush you and break coffin and all loot with it disappears (but can pick up again from same caravan after resting at grace site). Invisible Draconids seem to only guard open snow fields around giant frozen tree trunks. Killing them or making them despawn not removes them, but does give back FP/HP if you have talismans that give HP or FP on enemy death equipped. Also making ball lightnings hit your direction will discharge them and they "die" even if missed you (also HP/FP back, but no runes).

Submit

Funny I really enjoyed this area plays huge part in the lore of the game, and I finished it first playthrough with ease maybe died twice when I first entered the area. You guys are just a bunch of bad kids lol

Submit

Heh, as soon as I step into the Consecrated Snowfield I burst out laughing. All that snowy white bukkake on my eyes and the annoying enemy gangbang my ass, that's literally Frigid Outskirts 2.0. Look like Fromsoft finally run out of the idea, aren't they?

Submit

So there's no way to see the area clearly?

Submit

Fun fact: the Elden Ring team was too busy, so they let the DS2 dev team out of their cages to design this area.

Submit

This game made me hate snow areas

Submit

Is it just me or can I not find the frenzy giant that exist near the yelough anix ruins in the enemy list. I wanted to see what his drop rate as he dropped a yelough for me. Haven't been able to find it tho

Submit

why does the mist persist even after I killed Borealis? Can't see ****.

Submit

More like consacrated cancer. One of the worst areas of the game.

Submit

If you're like me and couldn't figure out how to get to the snowfield, you have to have both halves of the haligtree medallion and use the grand lift of rold again. The second half of the medallion is at the tippy tip of castle sol :)

Submit

So many people are missing the point of this place. The snowstorm with low visibility, the powerful enemies, invisible assassins and environmental hazards are supposed to make you empathize with the Albinauric pilgrims who have to pass through the Consecrated Snowfields to escape persecution and reach their refuge (the Haligtree). It's a deadly odyssey for them to get to freedom. That's why most of the Albinauric pilgrims you meet are dying. Great games make you feel feeelings, and this is one of the areas that is supposed to make you empathize and feel feelings.

the mausoleum here has killed me so many ****ing times

Miyazaki: Do you want to know what it's like to have cataracts?

Submit

How the **** do i get rid of this stupid ass snow holy **** actually awful to explore here I feel like I'm being punished for playing the game rn ****

Submit

Follow the glowing lamps/stones in the first section with the snowstorm

Submit

Found a larval tear transformed rune bear around the +9 somber smithing stone on a rock formation surrounded by lighting orbs.

Oh and dragon soldier ghosts that spawn endlessly for some reason. Can we at least clear the blizzard?

Submit

Had to turn the brightness down allllll the way so my retinas didn’t burn in this place

Submit

Cancer

Submit

It's just Frigid Outskirts but worse

Submit

Seems familiar...in shortvisions of horse...

Submit

This area is a chore, can't skewed ****.

Submit

This page needs an item cleanup of everything that is available in the Haligtree area. Too many of the listed items are not actually available in this zone and the enemy location is exclusive to the Haligtree.
