Auriza Hero's Grave stands out as one of the most challenging dungeons in Elden Ring, tucked away near the Royal Capital. Known for its lethal chariot traps and a grueling double-boss encounter, mastering this location requires precise timing and tactical planning. Navigating through its cavernous pathways offers lucrative rewards for players willing to brave its hazards.
Finding the Entrance to Auriza Hero's Grave
To reach Auriza Hero's Grave, players must navigate to the outskirts of Leyndell, Royal Capital. The entrance is situated beneath the capital bridge on the eastern side of the region, accessible by taking a descending path near the outer walls. Players following daily gaming news coverage often note that preparing proper gear before entering this dungeon saves considerable time and effort.
Solving the Chariot Puzzles
The defining mechanic of this dungeon involves massive rolling chariots that instantly crush anything in their path. To bypass them, players can drop down onto wooden beams beneath the main slopes to reach hidden side passages. Striking a fire-breathing pillar in the lower depths redirected light signals, causing a third chariot to spawn and destroy the others. Alternatively, using items like Margit's or Mohg's Shackle can trigger the pillar remotely.
Enemies and Threats Inside the Tomb
Beyond the deadly chariots, Auriza Hero's Grave is populated by tricky skeleton warriors and dangerous Basilisks. The Skeletons reanimate unless struck while downed, making crowd control vital in tight corridors. Meanwhile, Basilisks lurk in lower chambers, threatening players with death blight build-up if left unchecked.
Conquering the Bosses and Claiming Rewards
At the end of the dungeon lies a formidable boss battle against Crucible Knight Ordovis and a spear-wielding Crucible Knight. Defeating this brutal duo rewards players with 28,000 Runes, Ordovis's Greatsword, and the complete Crucible Axe Armor Set. Additionally, destroying the chariots yields the Tree Sentinel Armor set and the Ash of War: Holy Ground.
