If you’ve ventured near Mount Gelmir inElden Ring, you’ve likely spotted Fort Laiedd situated below the cliffs. Since we can’t access this via the Legacy Dungeon (believe me, I’ve tried), we have to take another route. Here’s how to get to Fort Laiedd in Elden Ring.
How to reach Fort Laiedd and the western section of Mount Gelmir in Elden Ring
The western section ofMount Gelmirin Elden Ring is locatedbelow the towering cliffs where Volcano Manor is. To get there, you can try heading to Altus Plateau. To be clear, while other paths can be taken, I originally arrived at Altus Plateau via theRuin-Strewn Precipice.
Upon exiting that dungeon, you’ll be at a field with theAbandoned Coffin Site of Grace. Follow the sloping path using the giant Erdtree in Leyndell as a point of reference. Ancient Dragon Lansseax will swoop in at this point, but you’re able to sprint past it if you’re not in the mood to fight.
Past that dragon, you’ll see the next section with theErdtree Grazing Hill Site of Grace. From there, climb the rocky crag with a pointing statue until you aggro theTibia Mariner. It’s another optional boss, so you’re free to ignore it.
The important thing is to get tothe western edge of Wyndham Ruins. Here, you’ll see a ravine and a river that flows north.
The ravine will windnorth, west, then south. Here are some interesting tidbits along the way:
Past Fort Laieddin Elden Ring, you’ll find even more goodies:
Keep going eastwhile following the loop to discover the following:
In any case, these arethe important stuff that I’ve found while exploring Fort Laieddand the western part of Mount Gelmir in Elden Ring. Don’t forget to head to Volcano Manor so you may begin theinvader missionsthere.
While you’re near Mount Gelmir, don’t forget to activateRykard’s Great Rune,one of Elden Ring’s most useful Runesdue to its healing ability when hitting enemies. It could save your life!
