Summary
Elden Ringplayers have spotted an interesting cave in the famous Mountaintops of the Giants region. Even thoughElden Ringhas been out for over three years, players occasionally discover previously unnoticed details that may have been part of the game since its release.
For manyElden Ringplayers, the exploration experience is one of, if not the main highlights of this FromSoftware title. This does not come as a surprise, considering that both the Lands Between and the Land of Shadow are filled with secrets and various Easter eggs that make exploring every corner of the world worthwhile.
A Reddit user named lil_beef sparked a discussion in the community after sharing an intriguing screenshot, pointing out a detail on the map that many players may have missed. The screenshot shows a mysterious cave located beneath the chain bridge inElden Ring’s Mountaintops of the Giants region, which can be seen from the Giants' Gravepost Site of Grace. The post gained significant attention in the community, reaching over 5.3k upvotes onElden Ring’s main subreddit, with many comments wondering whether the cave is accessible. Players claim that despite crossing this bridge dozens, or even hundreds of times, they never noticed this small cave. Another Reddit user, symbolically named CavesOfficial, confirmed that they accessed the cave using no-clip mode, but unfortunately, it appears to be empty.
Elden Ring Players Discover Mysterious Cave
Some fans have pointed out that, even though the cave ultimately proved to be a disappointment, the mere fact that players theorized about a hidden dungeon beneath the chain bridge speaks volumes aboutElden Ring’s exceptional world design. Players can complete both the main game and the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion without visiting some ofElden Ring’s most iconic locations, such as Jarburg, the Frenzied Flame Village, the Church of Dragon Communion, and many others.
A couple of comments claim that having such a well-hidden cave or dungeon would certainly enhance the overall exploration potential of the Mountaintops. Even though the region features some great enemies, it is widely considered one of the leastenjoyable locations inElden Ring.
TheMountaintops of the Giantsis one of the last regions players gain access to in the main game, meaning new players may have a harder time discovering this cave. The first step in reaching this area is defeatingMorgott, the Omen KinginLeyndell, Royal Capital. AfterElden Ring’s Omen King is defeated, Melina grants players an item called theRold Medallion. Using this item at the Grand Lift of Rold grants access to the snow-covered Mountaintops of the Giants.
