Gravesite Plain is one of the main regions in Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, and the first area you'll come across when you start Shadow of the Erdtree.

It's a huge area, with several subregions that branch off from its large, central field full of ghostly gravestones, and lots of fearsome bosses waiting to test your combat skills. To make sure you don't miss out on important dungeons and fast travel points, we've listed everything you need to know about Gravesite Plain below, including where to find its map fragment, every dungeon, boss and Site of Grace.

If you're not sure where to start in Shadow of the Erdtree, we're here to guide you through your first steps in the Gravesite Plain.

How to get to Gravesite Plain

Normal route: To get to Gravesite Plain and start Shadow of the Erdtree, you'll need to beat both Starscourge Radahn and Mohg, Lord of Blood in Elden Ring's base game. Then, fast travel to the Site of Grace 'Cocoon of the Empyrean' in Mohgwyn Dynasty Mausoleum, and interact with the bloodstained arm poking out of the cocoon. You'll then be transported to the Shadow Realm, at the start of the Gravesite Plain.
