How To Get To The Hermit Village In Elden Ring
Now that we know exactly what the Hermit Village entails, here’s how you can get there as fast as possible:
Step 1: Head To The Altus Plateau
In order to get to Hermit Village you have to first reach Altus Plateau. Players can travel to Altus Plateau either by using Grand Lift of Dectus. This area can also be accessed through Ruin-Strewn Precipice but you have to defeat Great Enemy Magma Wyrm Makar. Both of these Locations can be found in Liurnia of The Lakes.
After reaching Altus Plateau head out to Wyndham Ruins.
Step 2: Move from Altus Plateau to Mt. Gelmir
We recommend players level up to rune level 80 at least to take on some tough enemies and bosses as players will encounter a couple of bosses in this area. Enemies and bosses here are a lot more tough than previous areas.
After reaching Wyndham Ruins head to the ravine west of the ruins until you reach Seethewater Terminus site of grace. Head south until you reach Fort Laiedd.
Before venturing further, prepare yourself for a boss fight. An extremely difficult Magma Wyrm is hiding in the pool of Lava spewing from the volcano. You will also find Iron Fist Alexander in the lava interacting with him will progress his quest line. You can either fight this boss or run past him as it is an optional boss. Continue in the same direction as before until you reach the Hermit’s Shack.
Step 3: Reach Hermit’s Shack
You will encounter a Runebear descending from above to attack you, as well as a couple of demi-humans. Runebears are ferocious enemies with a large pool of hp and strong attacks that will stagger you unless you have high poise. You can also find Roiling Magma sorcery on a corpse inside the shack.
Step 4: Continue Traveling to Craftsman’s Shack
Continue venturing east of the Hermit’s Shack to reach the craftsman shack, you are almost at your destination. There is a site of grace in the shack you can rest at the site of grace to refill your flasks. You can also find Pulley Crossbow in this location.
Keep on moving east from the craftsman’s shack and you have finally reached Hermit Village.
Step 5: Arrive at Hermit Village
You have finally reached Hermit village. The Hierodas Glintstone Crown can be found behind the southernmost house on a corpse and check the side of the house next to it for the Prattling Pate “You’re Beautiful” tool. You can also find a mage armor Errant Sorcerer Set in the house in the northeast corner.
At the end of the village you will encounter a Demi-Human Queen Maggie boss along with Glintstone sorcerers. We recommend taking out sorcerers first before fighting the main boss. Defeating the boss will drop a memory stone which will increase the number of spells and incantations that you can carry at the same time.
After defeating the boss, continue moving forward you will also find Primeval Sorcerer Azur near the site of grace interacting with him will award you with Comet Azur sorcery, a must-have for a viable sorcery build. After finishing Sorceress Sellen quest you can travel back here and find “Azur’s Glintstone Set” in place of Primeval Sorcerer Azur’s body.
Traveling to Hermit Village is essential for any sorcery and faith build as you will get a memory stone, mage armors, and one of the best if not the best sorcery spell in the game. If you follow this step-by-step guide you will reach the Hermit Village in no time.
