How To Get The Erdtree Seal

Hundreds of incantations and spells in Elden Ring allow you to diversify your build however you’d like. But casting spells can become costly, and if you’re building a class based on a specific kind of magic, you will want to maximize your incantation usage. Luckily, Elden Ring included Seals to help players further augment their characters.

One of these seals is the clear-cut favorite for any Tarnished who is faith-based. The Erdtree seal is perfect for almost any incantation-based character and is worth the hustle to retrieve.

Reaching Volcano Manor

In order to obtain the Erdtree Seal, you’ll want to reach Volcano Manor. There are two ways to get to Volcano Manor; the first is linked to a questline to find a Volcano Manor character, while the second is to go directly through the dangerous Mt. Gelmir. You will need to first be in the Liurnia of the Lakes region to reach your destination for the quest line. You will find a stone pavilion next to the map’s satellite icon.

An NPC called Rya will ask you if you would like to return the necklace that she took. You can head northwest from Rya to a small house where Blackguard Big Boggart is preparing prawns for sale. You can buy the necklace from him and then return to Rya at the top of the Grand Lift of Dectus. Rya will be delighted to present you with a personal invitation to Volcano Manor. Note that Rya will not be there if you have already reached the Altus Plateau. If this is the case for you, to get to Volcano Manor, you’ll need to take the longer route.

The second option is to ascend the majestic Mt. Gelmir manually. The Altus Plateau is your closest point of departure if you are still in this mountainous region. You will need to begin from there. The Bridge of Iniquity, which crosses a ravine, is located south of The Shaded Castle. To reach the First Mt. Gelmir Campsite Site Of Grace, cross this bridge westward and pass a few minor enemies. You will see some Abductor Virgins on the horizon. They can be dispatched, or you can sneak past them as you climb the ladder.

The top of the ladder will reveal a structure similar to a castle tower, with remnants from a battle dotted around it. You will continue running in a north-southwest direction where the Frenzied Leyndell Soldiers are waiting to beat you to death. You will find another ladder that leads upwards after crossing a small stone that acts as a bridge. This ladder is guarded and protected by a Grafted Scion miniboss. You can choose to move past him or flex your muscles and fell him, but the ladder will take you where you want.

Continue climbing a third and fourth ladder to your left, passing the merchant at the cliffside. You will eventually reach a clearing with more Leyndell Soldiers. You will find a section to the northwest with several more enemies. Keep your eyes on your left. A wooden bridge will cross a considerable drop-off. You should be able to see the Volcano Manor’s exterior from this point, which signals that you are on the right track. The Ninth Mt. Gelmir Campsite Site of Grace is an excellent place to rest before you use the Spirit Spring with Torrent that will take you straight into a boss battle. Although the boss fight is optional, it will reward you with a unique weapon should you choose to defeat it. Run to the west side of the crater and onto the jutting rocks. Continue following the trees, going around enemies, and trekking down the slope to the massive castle.

Elden Ring: How To Find & Use Margit’s Shackle

Margit’s Shackle is a useful tool to find early in Elden Ring, but it’s incredibly easy to miss. Here’s how to find it and when to use it.

The Erdtree Seal Location

After entering the manor, talk to Tanith and agree to join the Volcano Manor to receive the key to the Painting Room. Now, head to the corridor and open the first door on the right. Inside the room, move to the far right corner and hit the painting on the wall to open up the hidden path. Navigate the hidden path similar to the video above, get down the staircase, and then use the iron door on the right to enter a church, where you will find the Site of Grace, Prison Town Church. Here is where you will start. Walk away from the Prison Town Church Site for Grace and take a sharp right. Continue on the path until the cliff connects to your house. A snake enemy is nearby. To stop the snake from following you, you may need to defeat it.

You can jump onto the first house to your right and walk up the roof to your left. Continue until you reach the roof’s edge. You will see a pile of corpses, an Omenkiller, and a set of stairs. Run up the stairs after jumping off the roof, and you can run straight to the nearest open jail cell. The Erdtree Seal Sacred Seal can be found on the body at the back wall.

Obtaining The Erdtree Seal

The Erdtree Seal is an S-Tier seal that is ideal for a high-faith Tarnished using incantations. As per its description, “A formless sacred seal decorated with an Erdtree crest, once the focus of religion in the Lands Between. Even though the Elden Ring is shattered, and the Erdtree has dulled from its former radiance, earnest faith continues to hold the answers.”

The seal begins to shine once you upgrade it. Without any upgrades, its faith scaling is C grade. But at +1, it is a B, at +3, it is an A, and at +5 it is an S. With only 5 upgrades requiring it to become S-grade, this is a formidable tool for all faith-based players.
