Elden Ring: Putrescent Knight Boss Location

If you never got the chance to experience Elden Ring, now would be the perfect time to do so. It recently got a DLC called Shadow of the Erdtree which added even more bosses, weapons and locations on top of the ones that were already present in the base game.

Putrescent Knight is one of the newly added DLC bosses. Oftentimes, Elden Ring bosses are located in tricky locations. This guide will help you out with that and show you the location and the path to reach there.

Location of Putrescent Knight

You can get to Putrescent Knight through the Stone Coffin Fissure. And to enter the Stone Coffin Fissure, you will need to break its Rune first.

You can do that by going to the gate of Stone Keep castle. The rune will automatically break once you reach the gate. The location of the gate is given below.

In case of confusion, you can check our dedicated guide on how to reach Stone Coffin Fissure.

Reaching Fissure Depths

After you break the rune, make your way to the Stone Coffin Fissure which is located at the bottom left side of the map. The Stone Coffin Fissure will take you underground and from there, follow the path given below:

Stone Coffin Fissure → Fissure Cross → Fissure Waypoint → Fissure Depths.

Getting to the Boss Room

Once you reach Fissure Depths site of grace, head forward in the direction shown below.

Keep moving forward and you will eventually reach the area with a giant head statue with horns as you can see in the image below. Jump down from between the horns as the arrow below indicates.

After you jump down and reach the ground, you will find the Putrescent Knight boss. Be careful as the boss will start attacking you without any warning or cutscene.
