Gelmir Hero's Grave | Elden Ring Wiki

There is no lever, you can just open the doors. I spent way too long looking for it.

Submit

While riding the chariot isn’t obvious while playing it is in fact showcased in the game’s launch trailer.

Submit

The worst part about this place is this place.

Submit

Wow what a ride. First Dungeon with chariot xD

Submit

Wow just discovered the drop chute to the boss down where the ringed finger is, I can’t believe you could just skip the whole thing lmao

Submit

That lesser bloodhound knight drops the full set. While that's noted on the obtainable items portion of the page, it is not noted on the walkthrough.

Submit

I've been here today and these directions are confusing at best. What I thought was the natural route led me to the bloodhound and gelmir knight sets, and the ladder to get on the beams to drop onto the chariot for a ride down the lava incline. After reading this though I have no idea where the chest with ringed finger is or how to get on what according to this page is the second chariot.

Submit

You can ride the second chariot. It doesn't do anything. But you can.

Submit

Anybody find the beatle emitting the noise at the grace site? You first hear it about 3/4 way down when u first take the lift and continue to hear it till u come up to the grace site

Submit

And the best part is jumping into the alcoves to hide from the chariots and fighting the camera, er I mean skeletons you can't see. Everything else is pure bliss (for a sadistic developer).

Submit

This whole dungeon style, this one in particular, just gives off way more of a Legends of Zelda vibe than a Soulsborne one. Not really interested in the only threats in a dungeon being the environment :/

Submit

Does anyone know what's the weird ring hanging below the cross beams?

Submit

The worst part about this place is how ridiculously long the elevator is.

Submit

I remember people not liking the chalice dungeons in Bloodborne, it was sort of split between players who really hated them, and players who really hated them but did them for the platinum or to farm the high tier gems for the weapon slots. But apart from needing to do them to get the platinum trophy and one or two of the most powerful 3rd tier caryll runes there was nothing that was exclusive to the chalice dungeons, but from what I've seen so far these Hero's grave dungeons are far worse than even the hateful cursed and defiled chalice dungeon because some of the coolest armour sets, the dragon incantation seal and some powerful weapons are only obtainable by beating a Hero's grave dungeon. It's like pulling teeth with no anaesthesia, dying over and over, I really hate the chariots as well.

Submit

I can't get on the wooden beam. I'm going to lose my ****ing mind in this place

Submit

This is a terrible dungeon im sorry but its awful

Submit

*plays "Chariots of Fire" for the fallen*

Submit

7.8/10 too much lava

Submit

Lava surfing using Ashes or fire damage negation talismans best way to complete this horrible dungeon.

Submit

Whoever made the 3D map is a saint, thank you!

Submit

This dungeon killed me more times than Astel and Radahn combined

Submit

Needs more lava

Submit

FS brings a whole new level to the phrase "tedious waste of time"

Submit

actual worst dungeon I have had the pleasure of completing in this game

Submit

I do not know why but the lava does not slow down my tank/strength build and I cannot piece together why. For reference
Class:Vagabond
RL-150
Vigor-60
END-40
STR-80
DEX-14
All other stats are at base value.
Gear:
Armor-Banished Knight Helmet (unaltered),Scaled Armor (altered),Iron Gauntlets,Veteran Leggings
Weapons-Golem's Haldberd,Misbegotten Shortbow,Mausoleum Greatshield
Talismans:Great Jar's Talisman,Erdtree's Favour+2,Dragon Greatshield Talisman,Pearldrake Talisman+2
The reason I am giving a detailed breakdown of the character is because I cannot single out what causes me to move unhindered in lava. I do not know if it is because of my high % damage absorptions,my heavy armor,if I caused it by bumping a stat like STR high enough,if a secondary derivative stat i.e. Robustness causes it or it is just a side effect of reaching a high enough RL.
Anyone else had a similar experience?

Submit

Unless I’m missing something you don’t actually need to ride the chariot you run through the lava and then kill the boss warp to site of grace and get behind it

Submit

The scarab you hear at the grace btw is a troll, it's a crimson tear scarab on the outside but very close to the spawn point, in the canyon next to the altus skelly boatman. You can see it from outside the entrance. Killing it then coming back to the grave makes it respawn.

Submit

Much much much easier to drop from the first bridge you pass. Drop onto the X beams below, if having trouble jump into a corner. Hit blood hound knight from above. Done

Submit

One of the most tedious, poorly made dungeons in the game. Highly recommend you skip unless you absolutely need something out of here.

Submit

Sick map

Submit

Once you find the finger weapon, go the other way thru lava. There is a grave wort plant to pick and a drop that leads straight to the boss, enabling you to skip all the rest of the chariot madness, however choosing to skip most of the chariot madness will prevent you from earning a lot of treasure and armor.

Submit

Riding the chariot is a horrible design choice. From the first second you encounter this you are being taught that you will die even If you just slightly touch it. And then you are expected to jump on top of it? Fromsoft really crapped the bed with this one.

Submit

Who decided bringing back the worst part of Bloodborne was a good idea

And why are they still breathing

Submit

HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT I HAVE TO JUMP ON TOP OF THE CHARIOT?!?!

Submit

This place can keep it's secrets. Not effin worth it.

Submit

once you pass the first chariot and turn left into the room with the page's and the fire totem, there is another path with a chariot that can be ridden. to the left is a path to the bloodhound knight and to the right is a dead end. has anyone found a legitimate way out of the dead end other than taking damage?

Submit

I ravened the mist out of those chariots enabling me to trivialize most of the path

Submit

The guide fails to mention the bandit/assassin/rogue enemies that stab you as you come thtough a doorway (I'm looking for their name), always a lot of bloodstains around these guys.

But to everyone else, you can drop down onto a board in the first opening & then again onto the chariot, you can go to the boss in like 40 seconds. Its a little risky, but I always go spend my runes on levels or arrows before this crap. I barely use ash of wars, so quickstep & bloodhound step are out of the question, almost made it through the lava, but its not possible without those skills.

Submit

Really bad idea to summon co operators here because they can run forward and change the path of the chariot and make your life hell

Submit

Nice job on that map, whoever did it :)

Submit

Just wondering, there is no way to destroy the chariots like destroying the one in Fringefolk Hero's Grave, is there?

Submit

there's a shrine right after the site of grace that plays a sound when doing the "erudition" gesture; I tried testing the following glintstone crowns but none of them worked:
karolos
twinsage
witch
haima
hierodas
there may be ones I haven't tested but I don't have them. can anyone else test it?

Submit

For anyone confused where this is, go west up until the pumpkin guy, then head south past the wolves

Submit

My favorite invading place!

Submit

I've apparently missed items 3 times and had to come back here 3 times, and only after reading through the comment section and 214 hours of playtime have I gotten the first indication that you're supposed to be able to jump on top of these things.

Submit

Equip Ash of War Bloodhound's Step. Bloodhound step through the lava at the end of the first death chariot area. On the left, there is a place you can step on safe land and heal. Inside is an item but across from the room and safe platform is a hole in wall with a glovewort and a drop that will take you straight to the end of the dungeon and the boss wall. Be careful of the drop, it can kill you if miss the middle platform on the way down.

Submit

How do I get inside? There is a veil and I cannot pass.

Submit

You can ride the last chariot in the cave. If you drop down, loly the bloodhound then take the ladder up, you can drop onto the chariot and ride it all the way down. Hope this helps.

Submit

I love it!

Submit

in all or most other chariot dungeons, you can kill the chariots and get special items. has no one found a way to kill them?

Submit

At the beginning of the dungeon (where there is the bonfir...the grace) I can hear the sound made by those insects with the ball...why??

Submit

I know it’s been said before but Bloodhound Step absolutely trivializes this place. Even the last stretch of pure lava before the boss. I missed the jump on the top of the last chariot so I just ended up bloodhound stepping down the slope anyways. Made it first try.

Submit

the boss is easier than the chariots

Submit

hell

Submit

Dung ahead therefore try turn back

Submit

Wow is that a tiny chariot model in the last ramp?! How cute!

Submit

A reused boss, with a reused enemy (that used to be a boss) that was also hiding in the corner for another reused gotcha moment, with a reused chariot mechanic, in a reused dungeon, on top of a reused premise that if you fail even just you gotta do the whole thing all over again.

People need to take a look at these kinds of bullshit and stop being an apologist fanboy. FROM was doing its best to maintain its reputation of making hard games without fully understanding why those hard games were fun in the first place. Kind of like Ubisoft not understanding why Far Cry 2 and 3 were good, and pumping out bullshit after bullshit OPeNwOrLDs.

If you keep putting up with FROM's bullshit, they're gonna eventually pump out bullshit with every gotcha moment they could find in the book. Or you know, reusing them because that's exactly how Elden Ring is.

Submit

Weapons-grade tedium.

Submit

There are 7X Grave Glovewort [7] in this Dungeon, not 4X as the page says.

Submit

Chariot graves are pure cancer

Submit

Not letting Miyazaki troll me. Leaving this dungeon and never coming back.

Submit

oh god not this **** again

Submit

300000 runes

Submit

Also, if you just want to clear the boss - just make your way down the first hall you enter with a chariot. Quickstep across the lava at the end, the chariot won't follow you here. At the end of the hall is a small archway to the right, where you can drop down a hole straight to the boss gate.

Submit

Seemed intimidating at first, then turned out to be fairly simple. But i agree, bot the most fun & well designed dungeon. I'd advice to attempt this when you've already lost your rune arc - it does feature fairly random deaths. Use bubbletear in mixed physick when you can't avoid a chariot hit (stonesword key for example), and quickstep ash for lava walking as others have said. Otherwise, patience and timing.

Submit

For those who comment to roll or jump or can walk on Lava, you don't need to go into the Lava (except for two seconds at the end). Before the lava part, next to narrow ramp going down (when avoiding the chariot), there is a small ledge you can fall onto. Walk the ledge, and there is a room inside with an enemy. Beat him and go up the ladder, afterwards jump the window, walk the beam, and fall onto the chariot, ride it down, and you're at the door.

Submit

So I found a shortcut that leads you to the crossbeams you need to mount for the second chariot.

When you get to the forth alcove, the one before the passage that leads to all the Pages, there's a ramp flanked by two open spaces. If you drop down while hugging the wall, you will land on the crossbeams where you need to stand to land on the second chariot.

This way comes at the cost of missing out on items and armor, but it is much easier than trying to mount the crossbeams from the window. Ultimately what you're here for is the Deathroot and this is shortcut reduces a lot of stress.

Submit

No there isnt a hidden door near the grace. What you are hearing is the red flask beetle on the other side of the wall in the valley. You can find it if you go north from seethewater pass and go to right next to where the grave grace is on the map

Submit

All of the hero's graves are the worst dungeons in the game. So disappointing. A special map icon just for them to each be a rehash of each other with stupid time wasting chariots and reused bosses. A normally designed catacombs or cave would've been better.

Submit

Missed an entire section-down the first hallway-3rd safe space on the left, big room with a bunch of hollows and 3 pages, leading to another room with 2 pages waiting to ambush.

Submit

Second chariot stone sword key is NOT WORTH IT! Chariot traps you with zero way out. Does a short path and blocks the door.

Submit

Patience is you best friend in the Hero’s Grave dungeons. Stay calm and wait for openings, fellas.

Submit

Pure unfun cancer

Submit

A real ball buster is what this is

Submit

Omg I just to jump on this ****er?
I remember the first time I had an encounter with the chariots:

I waited for it to turn around, but was a little bit to fast and touched the backside just after it turned around.
I thought spikes/wheels = death, but no, even the harmless looking backside was insta kill, so I came to understand that simply touching it means certain death, and NOW the game wants me to fkn jump onto one.

C'mon dude...

Submit

Wow that walkthrough needs some work!

Submit

I can’t breathe, I’m waiting for the exhale
Toss my pain with my wishes in a wishing well
Still no luck, but oh, well
I still try even though I know I’m gon’ fail
Stress on my shoulders like a anvil
Perky got me itching like a anthill
Drugs killing me softly, Lauryn Hill
Sometimes I don’t know how to feel

Submit

Wtf is this dungeon. It's the ****ing hardest **** to get to the boss since the last spinning wheel one. And unlike the boss of that one, this one is a total pushover. The fight lasted less than 30 seconds. Seriously, some of the mobs in this dungeon are tougher than the boss.

Submit

this place is awful for invaders, the spawn point is in the path of the chariot

Submit

I don't know how, but at some point of levelling I appear to have reached a point where my dude can run normally in lava. It makes places like this and volcano manor much easier

Submit

Why does it sound like there is a scarab or something right at the altar by the entrance? There is no hidden wall or anything there.

Submit

also, why are so many people complaining about this dungeon being hard? this was easy and the lava barely even hurts.

you want hard? go through the iron castle of DS2 where the lava will literally melt you in seconds!

compared to that, this lava is chip damage once every...1-3 seconds? lol i've played through every souls game to date and this place is borderline harmless aside from the chariots and mobs.

Submit

there is a beetle behind the altar wall in the bonfire room... anyone know how to reach it? stand next to the altar and move the camera and you can hear it.

this dungeon has at least 1 more secret to it...

Submit

The possible loot is not worth it lmao

Submit

Best platformer ever

Submit

terrible design

Submit

For your interest: You can use the Ash of War "Raptor of the Mists" to evade the chariots. They will pass through you and deal no damage. This can be achieved with lifestealfist too but you would need to use the ash on a skeleton right in time.

Submit

If you want to make some online friends, try invading here. The hosts are very appreciative and will send you warm messages of friendship to your account

Submit

Guys, this one isn't that hard. You just need to know exactly when to leave the little alcoves on the sides of the halls. The lava can be rolled on and depletes HP VERY slowly. The second chariot without a rider statue can be jumped onto and ridden down to the boss door. Fringefolk and Sainted Hero's Graves are MUCH worse than this one.

Submit

Bloodhound steps ashes of war make this dungeon a breeze.

Submit

Anyway to kill the grave chariots here?

Submit

I died 50 times in this dungeon and took me 2 hours to clear, worth it? I don't even know myself anymore. At one point I just want to prove that I can beat this dungeon

Submit

Pretty sure most of the people complaining don't realize you can hide in the sides to dodge the chariot. This one is a lot easier than the chariot dungeon in Limgrave.

Submit

Easily one of the worst designed dungeons in any From game.

Submit

Once you find the bloodhound and beat them, climb the ladder and go on the X. You can ride the chariot down the lava if you jump on it.

Submit

There are comments telling you how to short cut to the boss as well as work arounds getting through the halls if u want the loot. I see the majority of the comments complaing about how unfair it is. Blaming 'bad level design' and what not. It's a very straight forward dungeon. Dodge the chariot, kill the enemies. There are way better players than myself at this game but I manage to get through by playing the game and working it out, flaws or not. Have some tenacity, you can do it. I hate From Software elitest fanboys but I hate whining scrubs too.

If the chariot is coming uphill at you, you can straight up running jump over it. Doesn’t work the other way lol.
