Map Progress

As you may have noticed a vast amount of the map is available from the get-go, however some large areas have requirements.

Altus Plateau Option 1: Find both Medallion pieces to activate the Grand Lift of Dectus.

Dectus Medallion (Left): Take the ladder inside the tower of Forth Haight and open the chest at the top.

Dectus Medallion (Right): Take the ladder inside Forth Faroth and open the chest at the top.

Option 2: Slay Magma Wyrm Makar past the Ruin-Strewn Precipice Overlook Site of Grace and take the lift behind it.

HaligtreeHaligtree Secret Medallion (Left): Take the elevator past General Niall in Castle Sol.

Haligtree Secret Medallion (Right): From the Village of the Albinaurics site of grace go East past the enemy that likes to try and burn you, attack the jar and interact with the NPC.

Note: Use your imagination for the screenshot of the Jar.

Smithing Stone

Personally I do not consider these to be worth going around getting since you need 12 of each, I just stick to a weapon I can upgrade with Somber Smithing Stones until I can get the Smithing-Stone Bearings.

Refer to Ezekiel's Guide to Bolstering Bell Bearings for the location of these.

I may add some easy to find Smithing Stones to this guide later on if I figure an optimal path to get them that doesn't require a minimum of 96 screenshots.

Somber Smithing Stone

The purpose of this section is to allow you to have your main weapon reach the maximum upgrade without fighting any bosses. Should you want to upgrade another weapon I would recommend to advance the story and collect the Somber-Stone Bearing items instead to be able to buy the materials from a merchant.

Refer to Ezekiel's Guide to Bolstering Bell Bearings for the location of these.

Somber Smithing Stone +1 to +4Purchase from War Counselor Iji for a total of 15,000 Runes.

Somber Smithing Stone +5In the Volcano Manor right before Godskin Noble boss fight.

Somber Smithing Stone +6From Bridge of Iniquity hug the left wall and continue West until you see a ladder, you will reach the First Mt. Gelmir Campsite Site of Grace and see it on a chair facing the cliff towards the Site of Grace where we started.

Somber Smithing Stone +7In the Volcano Manor after you extend the bridge, you will need to make a jump for it.

Somber Smithing Stone +8From the Dragonbarrow West Site of Grace head towards the Divine Tower of Caelid, you will find a Scarab past the halfway point that will drop it on death.

Somber Smithing Stone +9Loot the corpse inside the circle of chairs that is right outside the Divine Tower of Caelid.

Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing StoneInside the chest below the giant statue you can see right next to the Dynasty Mausoleum Midpoint

Warning: Unlike the previous stones these ones are limited, only use it if you are willing to commit to your weapon.

Rune Grinding

Farum GreatbridgeLocation: To reach this farm you have two options:

Reach this location on foot.

Use the teleporter on the "lake" slightly Northeast of the Third Church of Marika Site of Grace, then make your way to the Site of Grace.

Note: After you teleport you can open the door on your back for a quick Site of Grace.Method: Kill Vulgar Militiamen (Tiny soldier dudes).

Lenne's RiseLocation: Refer to the options above for "Farum Greatbridge".

Method: Go downhill while riding Torrent, eventually a boulder will spawn behind you. Make it fall to its death and position your camera to witness the death.

Palace Approach Ledge-RoadLocation: To reach this farm you have two options:

Advance White-Faced Varre's questline[eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com] until you get the Pureblood Knight's Medal, which requires for you to slay 2 bosses.

After you teleport using this item, grab the map in front of you and there will be a Site of Grace upstairs to the left. Now get out of there and ride Torrent to reach the Palace Approach Ledge-Road Site of Grace.

Use the teleporter located in Consecrated Snowfield to the Southwest of the Ordina, Liturgical Town Site of Grace, which requires you to be far into the story having defeated around 7 bosses.

Method 1: Kill Albinauric (Ugly alien-looking dudes).

Method 2: Position yourself on the edge near the Site of Grace and either use an arrow or the Sorcery Rock Sling to aggro the Giant Crow, it will commit suicide.

Interactive Map

That's it for the scope of this guide, initially I had planned to cover Flask upgrades for which I had taken like 40 of the screenshots shortly after the game was released... however nowadays the Interactive Map is a thing so open this beauty and filter for whatever you want.
