Elden Ring: Liurnia, the Lakeland – Map, Resources, NPCs

by

The area Liurnia, the lake countryextends northwest of Limgrave and occupies a similarly sized area.

In normal gameplay, you will reach Liurnia after defeating Godrick the Transplant in Castle Stormveil. There is another (not immediately apparent) route to the area that allows you to get there from the start without ever having been in Stormveil.

Here you will learn all the important details about the lake country, its topography, the locations and dungeons, NPCs and traders that you can meet there.

Enter Liurnia in Elden Ring

  • normal way: Defeat Godrick, the final boss in Castle Stormveil, and follow the course of the section beyond until you reach Lakeland after a few meters. The first sight is a treat.
  • Hidden wayMission: East/northeast of Stormveil Castle is a broken bridge where you will also meet a finger reader. You can get there by riding further north from the place of mercy at the hut on Stormhill. At the corpse with the Nomadic Warrior's Handbook 7 you can drop down and follow a narrow path northwest, along the cliffs and past some wolves. He will lead you to Liurnia.
Here you also come to the lake country.

The following map shows the hidden path to Liurnia:

First steps in Liurnia

Which steps in Liurnia should be the first and where to start exploring the lake country?

  • Activate the “Sea Cliffs” location of mercy and talk to the demi-human Boc there (if you saved him and talked to him again in the coastal cave).
  • Enter the Church of Irith and talk to Thops to learn about the security mechanisms in front of Raya Lucaria's Academy and the Shimmerstone Key needed to enter the Academy.
  • Cross the Academy Soldiers' Camp off the Liurnia Lakeshore, activate the Place of Mercy on the shore, and speak to the Nomadic Merchant. There's no harm in buying a lantern from him if you don't already have one.
  • Continue north-west, get the Liurnia East map and go in search of the key, without which the academy will remain closed.
  • The Academy is the next main dungeon, but of course you can explore the area first and discover a few places.

First map of Liurnia (east)

Location: Lakeside of Liurnia. After arriving in Lakeland from Castle Stormveil, follow the course to the lake shore where the nomadic trader sits. Follow the lanterns through the water to the northwest and you will see the stele with the map.

Second Map of Liurnia (North)

Location: Gatetown of the Academy. From the lake shore in Liurnia we head north-west, following the guiding hand of the light. So you reach the half-sunken gate city in front of the actual academy. The map is in the stele next to the Place of Mercy.

Third map of Liurnia (West)

Location: Northern lake shore of Liurnia. The point is almost due west of the east gate in Raya Lucaria. Simply through the water to the other side.
