Leyndell Royal Capital | Elden Ring Wiki

Checking here before switching ot the ashen version

Submit

Once you come down to the place where the Erdtree avatar amboushes us, there is a golden designer tile on the road. One can see through it to see a wooden ramp and a sewer opening further down..... any one got any idea how to open this tile? attacks dont work...

Submit

Nice place to farm, from East Capital Rampart. Killing all enemies before annoying High Page = 18k.

Submit

Why doesn’t this mention the Erdsteel dagger?

Submit

I think I accidentally wrong-warped here after alt-f4'ing during co-op (still Ashen Capital on my map, but I can distinctly hear envoy horns from what I assume is the default position)

Submit

2finger prayer book inside old round table area in cap leyndel

Submit

Music here is amazing. Really adds to the melancholy atmosphere.

Submit

Golden Order Seal is still obtainable after ashen capital

Submit

I love how perfectly this place simbolizes the golden order. On the surface it's mighty, proud, glorius, brilliant, etc. But not even 1 meter below this facade and you already see the curses, aberrations and decay that it tries to hide under the ground. Despite how much effort the greater will puts into the establishment of his domain over the lands between, the horrid products of it's mistakes and wrongdoings plague the very pillars of this world.

Submit

Just slipped off the roots near Erdtree Sanctuary and landed on a tiny invisible collision block. Coordinates on Fextralife's interactive map are near -108.01 : 114.79. According to rainbow stones, this collision area is just 1x1 meter, however it offers a safe drop to the cliffside with 2 Miranda plants.

Submit

I'm not gonna lie, it's my favorite location in Elden Ring, and my favorite location in any FromSofware game. I wish that in next games I'll see locations on at least same level.

Submit

Home of miracles (especially lightning) and dragon worship, which the helms have dragon statuettes, uses tree icons (in this case, charms), was under authoritarian rule, many people had to leave their homes, the name sounds familiar-Oops! I was reminiscing about Lindelt from DS2. Never mind me!

Submit

the list of bosses has "Godfrey, First Elden Lord" linked instead of "Godfrey, First Elden Lord (Golden Shade)"

Submit

getting invaded here is a guaranteed loss because you are most likely to encounter them on the way to the erdtree avatar or with the blackflame kindred. so cheap, wish we had seed of a tree of giants like in ds2 so they get slapped by the npcs every now and then

Submit

Hi guys, trying to get into the royal capital, I have two great runes but cannot get access!! any thoughts.

Submit

Any theories on why it's covered in ash BEFORE you burn the Erdtree? I've heard some say it's from Granssax' assault or from a prior burning of the Erdtree. Personally I think it's just ash from the people who used to live there. Dead people turn into ashes after all, some of which can even be summoned in battle.

Submit

I think it should be mentioned that you can enter Leyndell via the Deeproot Depths. This way you don't have to use the Great Lift or kill the Draconic Tree Sentinel.
I used this ethod in my NG+ :
Get teleportet from Raya Lucaria to Volcano Manor by the Abductor Virgin.
Kill the Abductor Virgins Boss.
Activate/rest at the next Site of Grace outside of the Cave to activate the Radahn Festival.
Kill Radahn to open the entry to Nocron.
Kill Valiant Gargoyle and rest in the coffin.
Kill Fia's Campions in Deeproot Depths and use the Portal to Leyndell.

After writing this I noticed, that it's maybe a longer way than the usual... but I had to try it and it worked

Submit

It would be nice to have a list of things you can only farm before maliketh is killed

Submit

Under items they should add Guardian garb full bloom and mention it’s gone after it becomes ashen too

Submit

This level design... is not exploration-friendly. It really ruins my fun having to look behind every corner of every little corridor, but I can not leave any item behind. I wish this game was less labyrinthic.

Submit

You guys are missing "Golden Shade of Godfrey" on the Boss List. You have "Godfrey, First Elden Lord" listed, but that's not the same thing/boss. "Golden Shade of Godfrey" is its own boss and has its own unique page on here.

Submit

Almost ten years ago now, I heard a reviewer say they favorite level in Dark Souls 1 was the Painted World of Ariamis. They commended the complex, maze-like level design, the vertical progession, and the many paths that were stacked on top of each other and looped back in on themselves. They also wondered if an entire game could be made like this, or if it would be too annoying for people.

Leyndell is almost just that. It's not an entire game, but it's an absolutely massive level. And while it may not be the proposed size, it makes up for that with the seemingly endless number of unexpected shortcuts you can take.

Oh, and lets also not forget that it has an expanded version of The Depths, another one of the best levels in Dark Souls 1, hidden underneath it.

As that reviewer suspected, this is too much for some people. To me, however, it's the best level I've ever played. In any video game.

Submit

like 6 of the listed bosses arent actual boss fights

Submit

Make sure you pick up one of the legendary weapons here, check guide how to get it cuz kinda hard to explain but you cant get it anymore after the city changes to ash. The weapon has a really cool weapon art so worth it imo

Submit

On one of my ng+ runs I rushed through Stormveil Castle and Raya Lucaria and was confused that the capitol was still locked, didn't know you need to go to the Round Table because the Gate said "Can't proceed without further Great Runes". Almost thought they increased the amount of Great Runes you need to access the Capitol.

Submit

If you like to co-op, be sure to activate all the summon pools here before you switch over to Ashen Capital. The summon pools you activate in Royal Capital remain active in Ashen Capital. Although your level might limit your opportunities, I was still getting summoned for Godfrey/Golden Shade + Morgott boss fights even at level 110.

Submit

You can get in through Deepgroot as well

Submit

missing star fist under equipment, it’s near the coliseum by where goldmask and corhyn stand

Submit

FYI A few things missing that are definitely missable in Ashen Capital:

Duelist set (includes Duelist Helm, Gravekeeper Cloak, Duelist Greaves) - these are chance drops from other duelists around the world but none of them respawn and they are RARE drops. The Royal Capital versions are the only respawning duelists in the game which drop this set. Both these respawning duelists go away in Ashen Capital.

Battle Hammer - Again, the duelist in the capital is the ONLY respawning duelist which drops this, and goes away in Ashen Capital.

Duelist GreatAxe - Same deal, this is the only respawning duelist which drops it, gone in Ashen Capital.

Gargoyle's Halberd - dropped by the non-respawning gargoyle guarding the golden seed next to the West Capital Ramparts site of grace - gone in Ashen Capital.

Guardian Garb (Full Bloom) - ONLY dropped by the guardians along the tree up to the Godfrey Golden Shade boss fight from the West Capital Ramparts site of grace (alternatively, head back out of the room from Erdtree Sanctuary site of grace and go back down the tree). These guardians are the only guardians which drop this gear, and it is missable since these guardians are gone in Ashen Capital.

Hope this helps, would hate for people to miss gear and unique items due to the Ashen Capital switch. This really needs to be tightened up so people don't miss it.

Submit

Game peaks in quality here, then plummets severely once you progress to the Forbidden Lands, before somewhat picking up at Farum Azula and Elphael, and then plummets again.

Submit

There is an area that I am not able to access, it is on the side of grace ''Igreja da Baixa Capital'' you leave the church and turn right where there is the ''demon capra'' and look up and realize that there is a ladder that you can kick but I can't go there, does anyone know how to access that part?

Submit

I don't know if it was mentioned before, but if you have beaten 2 shard bearer before and still can't access the city, you have to talk to Melina and go to the roundtable hold. I unfortunately could not complete my no maiden run because of this smh...

Submit

What’s the knight with the spear called, after Godfrey?

Submit

Bruh i got sent here from a trapped chest when i first started the game

Submit

Does Leyndell have a single unique enemy? I can't think of one. Every enemy here is present in other places throughout the world. Volcano Manor has the snakes, Farum Azula has the skeleton Beastmen, but I can't think of a single one for Leyndell.

Submit

There are also a few missable lost ashes of war here

Submit

What items i will lost if a kill Maliketh?

Submit

I think the gate to Leyndell is bugged. I've tried passing time, I've beaten two of the main story bosses, but the gate to it won't open.

Submit

Impressive level

Submit

I have 10 fps here. Literally unplayable. I last played the game during the 1.3 patch. Now it's literally unplayable

Submit

Twisting streets, stairs that lead into other stairs, backstreets that lead to more backstreets, ladders, elevators and secret passages, and you can even climb the giant dragon. It turns my brain to mush trying to remember every single corner I did and did not explore, but I made the effort, went in blind and had a blast. It's very fun to explore every nook and cranny of this place, and it's rewarding to even be here after so much damn buildup. Oh, everything is gold white and very pretty. This is now my favorite area in the game.

Submit

Did 1.06 fix the east rampart skip? you could jump on a railing and then on a roof to skip all the way down to the main road

Submit

writing a walkthrough for this one seems to be too much for anyone

Submit

I can't join my friend in mp, dunno if it is because in my world I beat Maliketh

Submit

This is the time when you start to worry about the health and mental state of the developers

Submit

Up there with Central Yharnam as the best level Fromsoftware has ever made.

Submit

Best legacy dungeon in the game, hands down. Wish the rest of them like Raya Lucaria had been as big as Leyndell.

Submit

The most fun that I have ever had in this game was playing as a stealthy character and exploring the entirety of Leyndell without resting at a single site of grace, relying purely on Assassin's Crimson/Cerulean Dagger talismans and the Ancestral Guardian's Horn talisman, as well as healing spells to keep myself topped off as much as possible.

Submit

If I want to co-op in Leyndell after Faram Azula, would I be able to go into NG+ and reach Leyndell and then simple stay in the appropriate level range and be summoned to other peoples NG world?

Submit

Leyndell, home. At least it was before Marika ****ed everything up.

Submit

Margit (not Morgot) also shows up in the fields inside the first gate where the dual Tree Sentinels hang out. If head to the left, and not up the stairs.

Submit

This place is gorgeous, great music, great looking buildings, I loved how you have to climb up the dragon. Fantastic local

Submit

is it possible to bypass the northern Leyndell gate through Deeproot Depth sending gate (one that beside Fia)? it means we only need to defeat 1 shardbearer, Radahn, and 2 bosses (Mimic & Twin Gargoyles)?
*note bypass Redmane castle through activating festival from Blaidd's Quest

Submit

The bosses section links to GODFREY, FIRST ELDEN LORD (HOARAH LOUX), but it should link to GODFREY, FIRST ELDEN LORD (GOLDEN SHADE).

Submit

I know there are differing opinions about this place, but after several playthroughs I think that Leyndell is the most beautiful place ever realized in a video game. Nothing even comes close. The blinding towers, the splendorous main avenue, the mournful soundtrack, it all comes together so well.

Submit

There's an enemy type that isn't listed here towards the bottom, they slam their fists on the ground and make horrible noises and I'm frightened.

Submit

Why are all of the doors sealed in leyndell, and why are no civilians are on the streets at all? its quite confusing why such a big city has less civilians on the streets than any other village, and their are even more people outside of the capital than the inside. i mean it just doesnt make sense, and to me it seems that the city is pretty much completely abandoned, except for a few pages, perfumers, and a ton of soldiers.

Submit

The blighttown of elden ring. small areas but so packed that if u missed one door u can lock yopurself and go in circle for hours crying off frustration. Music is dope tho

Submit

I literally bypassed like everything for some reason. I was able to unlock the divine bridge site of grace at some point earlier in the game. Went up the tree branch and fought Morgott. Left the entire city untouched. Wondering if I should even go through it lol.

Submit

Would love if the items were split into like. First visit, underground and second visit.

Submit

The music for Leyndell is literally astounding

Submit

I've just gotten an ash of war called thunderbolt that isn't listed here or on the map, from the avenue balcony site of grace go down the steps but don't go through the gate after the stairs going down, there is a dragon knight with a greatbow straight in front of you, I haven't been able to get far using stealth, it sees me right away and starts spamming the great bow. If you can hit him at range then duck straight back inside the doorway he will come looking for you and is easily dealt with in close quarters. There are another two of these knights but neither one has a greatbow, there is one patrolling back and forth on the far right as you walk through the gate, and there is another one standing guard behind the long building on your left, once you have killed the knights walk to the railings on the left and the scarab that drops the thunderbolt ash of war will be below you. it's stronger than the scarabs iv'e seen up to now, took two fully charged casts of frenzied burst to kill it.

Submit

You guys forgot to put the imp head: corpse on your page and a couple of other things, ugh.

Submit

Contender for the best level ever put into a video game imo

Submit

So, based on this wiki, all four of the rune bearers are optional... Can you still exploit the divine tower elevator with invaders?

Submit

Star fist is missing from the list of items

Submit

Two fingers book also missable

Submit

Ash of War: Thunderbolt is missable here as well!

Submit

Does anyone know what the guardian with all the flowers on him drops? apparently it’s an “epic weapon”

Submit

Whats the standart rune level and weapon level for people in leyndell? Planning on invading here.

Submit

"... And one day, we'll return to our home, bathed in rays of gold..."

Submit

Suggested Level?

Submit

There needs to be a section about all missable items in this area if you proceed past the first point of no return.

Submit

I don't know how to even to begin to explain but does anyone know about an enemy that dropped x8 hero runes my brother killed an enemy and I saw him grab those runes. What this some one in a million chance?

Submit

ritual shield talisman is not stated here ??

Submit

I killed renalla and godrick and couldn't enter, so I tried killing rykard and still couldn't, I look up the wiki and the first thing it says is roundtable hold which i skipped lol

Submit

Stormhawk axe is also here, accessible from fortified manor

Submit

The Gravel Stone Seal is also obtained here, and can't be obtained after Farum Azula.

Submit

Anyone know why there's already a fair amount of Ash in Leyndell, before you know what happens? Like, there are some pretty massive piles of ash already dotted around. Where does it come from?

Submit

After blundering around this zone for hours, I felt the need to come here and say that I understand why it's taking a while to come up with a coherent walkthrough, and keep up the great work!

Submit

Cool map

Submit

I've beaten Godrick, Rennala, and Radhan, but the gate still is present telling me to kill more greatrune bearers.

Submit

They forgot to add in the end tree bow and the golden order principia

Submit

I like how the main gate to the NW, where it was shown being attacked by a massive army in the cinematic trailer(that battle actually happened btw) - leads to a lake. I guess map inconsistency is just a style for fromsoftware lol

Submit

What about the weird dog creature with a blade arm?

Submit

I hated how difficult this place was with a magic build until I realized you are practically invincible and will kill every enemy on the map like Captain Price if traverse the city through rooftops, occasionally going down for loot then coming back. It is now my favorite area by far. Recommend the rooftops to all magic builds.

Submit

best area

Submit

Under the *Regular Creatures and Enemies* section you guys need to add *The Duelist* (Gladiator). It has a unique armor set (Duelist) that it drops which you can't get after the erd tree burns down. I missed out on farming it because it wasn't on the list here.

Submit

There's a black knife assassin in front of queen's bedchamber missing here can someone please edit it?
I feel like it is essential for the clue of Melina's story, might've relate to how Melina's here to fight Morgott.

Submit

two fingers prayerbook and golden order principalia are missing :|

Submit

I teleported via the Tower of Return to a sleeping giant and the healing talisman. Is there any way into the city proper from this locale?

Throughout this wiki and on many other sites many commenters call Leyndell "Lyndell". Why? Is it translated as Lyndell in other language versions of the game or is it autocorrect?

Submit

Beautiful location but it felt like a chore exploring it.

Submit

You should add that you cannot enter the capital if you never go to the round table. Even with no maiden :(

Submit

for anyone with great runes that still is locked out of leyndell, speak with the woman and get to roundtable and talk with the finger reader and u should get the seal unlocked

Submit

"northeastern gate is accessible to players who have gathered two Great Runes" This is incorrect as I have Godrick's Great Rune and Radahn's Great Rune in my inventory and the seal is still there saying I need more great runes. Some step is missing.

Submit

I wish there was a way to access or restore this dungeon after beating the game, besides NG+. It’s such a nice zone for multiplayer.
