Quick Links
The Moorth Ruins is a location in theElden RingDLC, Shadow of the Erdtree. Located in the Scadu Altus region, you will run into this crumbled settlement while searching for a mysterious warrior who has challenged you to a duel.
If you’re looking to get your hands on everything the DLC has to offer, then you’ll have to explore every nook and cranny of the Shadow Realm. This includes the Moorth Ruins, which, though somewhat unsightly and rife with our least favorite Curseblade enemies, is a necessary step to reach the Bonny Village hidden area that is cut off from the rest of the world.
How To Find The Moorth Ruins
The Moorth Ruins are not particularly difficult to find as they are in plain sight. They arelocated in the center of the Scadu Altus. You’ll find them down the roadeast of the Highroad Cross Site of Graceafter you reach the massive plateau by defeatingRellana, Twin Moon KnightinCastle Ensis.
There’s another unorthodox way of reaching Scadu Altus by skipping the Legacy Dungeon entirely, though. Byutilizing the sealed spiritspring jumpnear theElder’s HovelinGravesite Plain, you will belaunched straight into the Fort of Reprimandin Scadu Altus.
To reach the Moorth Ruins from there, you will have totravel north along the roaduntil you reach it.

Opposite the Moorth Ruins, you canenter an enemy encampment, where you will find theFire Knight’s Cookbook [1]and anotherScadutree Fragment.
After that, you should keep ontraveling east from the Site of Graceto reach a statue that you can loot for aRevered Spirit Ash, butwatch out for a Cursebladethat will try to sneak up on you.
From there,continue southwestuntil you spot ashadow undead holding a potbelow you.Killing it will drop the third Scadutree Fragmentin this area, but be prepared to face anotherCurseblade that will ambush youas you collect the item.
Once you’ve got the bolstering material,work your way to the house with the fallen walland walk around it to collect theShattered Stone Talismanfrom a corpse lying on some debris.

Return inside the house, go up the stairs, and then head through the doorway. Once outside,work your way slightly northeast to reach a chapelsubmerged in the ground, where you’re able to grab aShadow Realm Rune [3].
A few paces left from there, and you will be able todrop down an openingin the ground that leads to the underground section of the Moorth Ruins. On the balcony ahead, you will find acorpse holding someStringcrafting material.
Thenhead through the adjoining doorto reach an area with a dog and acorpse holding someWhiteflesh Mushroom.
Past that area, you canhead through a hole in a wallto drop down into a cave. Before proceeding, though, ensure you explore the path behind you tofind a dead-end with aGolden Horn Tenderconsumable.
After that, you can press onward the other way you came from until you candrop down to the roof of a ruined churchwith agroup of girandole-wielding mages. When you’ve dealt with the enemies, you can enter the belfry to grab the niftyGolden ArcsIncantation from a chest.
Then, continue your descent toward the ground below, where you’re able to grab aShadow Sunflowerfrom a corpse.
How To Reach The Bonny Village
That’s about everything you may find in the Moorth Ruins, but don’t fast travel out yet though. Instead,head through the tunnel on your right,and you will come across aladder.
Take the ladder up, and though it may feel like the longest ladder you’ve ever climbed in a Souls game, you’ll eventually emerge in asecret location known as the Bonny Village. Up ahead, you’ll find the area’s Site of Grace, which you can activate.
