Ruins of Unte in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree
In Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, reaching the Ruins of Unte requires a series of steps involving obtaining specific items, going to dangerous areas, and uncovering hidden pathways. To reach the Ruins of Unte in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, follow these steps.
1. Obtain the Greater Potentate’s Cookbook
First, you need to obtain the Greater Potentate’s Cookbook. This item is located at Run-Down Traveler’s Rest, which is near the Ellac Greatbridge. The cookbook is important for crafting a specific item needed.
2. Craft a Hefty Furnace Pot
Using the recipe from the Greater Potentate’s Cookbook, craft a Hefty Furnace Pot. This pot will be required for dealing with a specific enemy blocking your path to the Ruins of Unte.
3. Head to the Castle Watering Hole Site of Grace
Next, make your way to the Castle Watering Hole Site of Grace. This site is a convenient starting point for the next steps in your journey.
4. Throw the Hefty Furnace Pot Into the Furnace Golem
At the Castle Watering Hole, you will discover a Furnace Golem. Use the Hefty Furnace Pot you crafted earlier to defeat this powerful enemy. Throwing the pot into the golem will cause it to overheat and be destroyed, clearing your path.
5. Head Inside to Obtain the Giant Golden Arc
With the Furnace Golem defeated, you can now enter the area it was guarding. Inside, you will find the Giant Golden Arc, an item necessary for further progress in your quest.
How To Enter Ruins of Unte in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree
To access the Ruins of Unte, you’ll need to discover a secret coffin located inside the Shadow Keep. Follow these steps to find it.
1. Site of Grace ‘Main Gate Plaza’
Go to the Main Gate Plaza Site of Grace inside the Shadow Keep. This site appears after you defeat the Golden Hippopotamus.

Then go through the western side of the Shadow Keep until you reach an area with rows of flaming boats. On your left, you will see a large staircase to the Shadow Keep’s Storehouse. Skip the stairs and move to the eastern side of the area. Here, you will discover several militiamen hiding between the boats.
3. Enter the Hidden Passage
