Consecrated Snowfield | Elden Ring Wiki

Imagine crafting a beautiful landscape only for Miyazaki to sneak into the office and cover half of it in a blizzard before the janitor manages to wrestle him away from the computer.

Love how there's just no walkthrough written for this place

Submit

Alright. **** THIS PLACE AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

Submit

those archers riding on the wolves have got to be the most annoying enemies in the entire game

Submit

For first time visitors... look for the map icon on your map. Place a marker east of southeast, and head in that general direction. In that general area is a grace out of the snowstorm. The southernmost part of the map is always a blizzard... but once you're through it, it's much less annoying.

Submit

Boring level design? No new monster types? Just add FOG™!

Submit

Beautiful looking zone, and very peaceful when things aren’t trying to murder you.

Submit

Writing this for the young’uns. Imagine this area but instead of fighting one red wolf, you fight two as a bossfight and one of them can go berserk and heals himself. That’s Frigid Outskirts

Submit

The scaling in this area is so ****ing disgusting on higher new game cycles even the ****ing jellyfish in that one cave too way too much ****ing damage

Submit

First third is just slightly-less-shitty Frigid Outskirts with more random death cliffs, the rest feels suitably haunting and abandoned.

Submit

After reading this comment section, I have no regrets just rushing through this area until I hit a grace

Submit

I guess I'm not the only feeling this way, but especially the first part of this feels like their second attempt at Frigid Outskirts, and while I don't love it, I gotta admit it's sooooooooo much better than FO. No more absolute blindness with few seconds of clarity to get your bearings, no more frickin' reindeers from hell, no more feeling that the whole level is in fact totally useless with hardly anything in it. It's not amazing, but it's pretty alright.

Dark Souls 2 with more budget...

I actually don't mind there not being new enemies here for the most part, I think Consecrated Snowfield's theme of 'the holy land for the best of the best of everybody that they eventually must seek out' is actually well served by having it be inhabited by an assortment of creatures from the entire rest of the game with massively inflated stats.

The fact that you can't see a damn thing despite being supposed to dodge constant murder salvos, though, THAT makes this area garbage. I took a screenshot of one of the 'frozen mist' attacks after it killed me, and it was impossible to see even in a still image without a time limit.

Submit

I wouldn't mind extremely powerful enemies with obviously oversized healthbars, if they were unique and new. But instead of doing unique and new enemies this area is literally an assortment of the most annoying, infuriating and over the top enemies in the entire game. Theo the wyrm is literally more powerful than Placidusax.

the Pages in the cavalries do so much crossbow damage at NG+7

Submit

Everybody has their own opinion, I don’t mind tough enemies too much but I’ve never been a fan of not being able to see well in games like this. I love FromSoft games but with how barebones they can be as far as telling you how to navigate certain areas it’s easy for me to get lost sometimes and not being able to see makes it 10X worse. The beginning part of this zone is definitely reminiscent of Frigid Outskirts but it’s not quite as bad as FO

Submit

Triple Rings of Light is in the Haligtree, not the snowfield.

Submit

I didn't know you needed a medallion to enter here... I just drop from the previous area using the spiritspring, after some torrent parkour i ended exactly where the Red Wolf is.

Submit

Don't like this area. It's too cold and I can't see.

Submit

Going down the list of items... looks like I have everything. Including one set of armor not listed, the blue mail set. I think it's finally ng time.

Submit

Nice music here, reminds me of the spring area in Pikmin

Submit

First time I entered this place I started having flashbacks of that infamous frozen hell called Frigid Outskirts....

After dying, on my way to the Rotten Duelist west of the first site of grace, enough times mostly getting mauled by the (first I've found so far) Runebear almost invisible in the blizzard, I circled back to the cliff above it - a couple of places along the cliff he will run up and shiv a player from the mist: if you're lucky, he'll push you off, but then the only way to acquire a lock is by impaling yourself on his claws. However, there's a spot on the cliff (just west of the line between the Hidden Path SoG and the first CS SoG, 45% of the way up) where you can target lock him and used range attacks and he just tries to climb at you but, yeh, can only raw. I used Rocks and Loretta's Greatbow, now going back to try fire magic and pots

Submit

You think this zone is hard? Try the next one. You're going to cry blood.

Submit

Enough salt to melt the whole mountain in here. I love this area. Once it opens up and the storm slows the atmosphere is top notch.

Submit

this place reminds me of beyond the wall in game of thrones

Submit

PTSD ahead, however no horse ahead!

Submit

I didn't like this location because there were no reindeers this time

Submit

It's a bit silly how tanky the mounted albinaurics archers are, but their arrows literally can't hit you if you walf slowly to the side. Even if you are drinking, just move orthogonally and they will miss everytime.

Submit

constipated snowfield

Submit

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

*After beating fire giant*
Miyazaki: "Open up it's time for the snowfield!"
Tarnished: "Oh barnacles I hate the snowfield"
*Gets oneshotted by albinauric archers*

Submit

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 :)
