You might have seen the field of red flowers early in Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC from the high cliffs of the Gravesite Plain. Like us, you probably spent a few minutes running up and down these cliffs trying to find a way down to Charo's Hidden Grave, only to realize with much disappointment that, like the bosses, there's nothing easy in this DLC.
Thankfully, the trip down to this beautiful landscape is not too complicated. You'll only need Torrent and a little sense of adventure. On your way, you'll encounter cults, dragons, mountains, and — much to the chagrin of everyone — a lot of high-up places to accidentally fall from. And if you need a map, we're happy to provide.
Where Is Charo's Hidden Grave?
Charo's Hidden Grave is in the southeast corner of the Land of Shadow map. It is beyond the Jagged Peak subarea and is the precursor to the Cerulean Cove.
It is a frankly small area with only one dungeon and four bosses — three of which are field bosses.
How To Access Charo's Hidden Grave
To have access to this area, you must have reached Jagged Peak via the Dragon Pit dungeon. This requires:
- Traversing the Ellac Greatbridge.
- Turning right at the Castle Ennis camp.
- Locating the Dragon Pit.
- Defeating the Ancient Dragon-Man (a second time!)
For more information on how to find the Dragon Pit and reach Jagged Peak, refer to our guide .
Once you've located the Grand Altar of Dragon Communion, you'll have to traverse the body of the massive dragon here — preferably on our favorite not-quite-a-horse, Torrent.
Take the dragon's wing just up and slightly right of the altar here. You'll want to head up the wing toward the foot of the dragon. From there, go through the little v-shaped corridor.
Between the foot and leg, you should see a series of ledges below leading to an area with red flowers. Jump down safely, and follow the path to formally enter Charo's Hidden Grave.
We hope you brought your camera because this place is truly a sight to behold.
