Roundtable Hold is probably one of the most famous locations in Elden Ring. It is the central hub where you can meet many NPCs, buy gear, learn spells, and upgrade your weapons. However, unlike all other areas in the game. Roundtable Hold is nowhere to be found in the Lands Between.
Moreover, the game doesn’t tell you when or how you will unlock this special area. So, players who want to get the best weapons or complete their character build before facing their first major boss are the most desperate ones to find it.
Therefore, this article explains how to get to Roundtable Hold in Elden Ring without wasting your precious gameplay hours.
How to get to Roundtable Hold?
How do you get to Roundtable Hold? To reach Roundtable Hold, you must first meet Melina and acquire the Bell Bearing as well as the Torrent. You can do this by resting at three different Sites of Grace in Limgrave.
The next step is to complete any of the three conditions to trigger the Roundtable Hold sequence. However, getting a visitor pass from Melina is the only way to reach this location. For this purpose, players have figured out you must meet certain conditions before Melina trusts you enough to take you in. Here’s a list of all the ways that you can use to get to Roundtable Hold:
Defeat Margit, the Fell Omen
Margit, the Fell Omen, is the first major boss that you will encounter in the game’s critical path. He is the main boss of Stormveil Castle, and a few tough enemies guard his battle arena. After dealing with the soldiers, head inside the fog gate and face Margit.
Once you defeat this boss, the Stormveil Castle Main Gate Site of Grace will appear nearby. Resting here will trigger a cutscene in which Melina says she has tested you and will take you to Roundtable Hold.
Rest at Lake-Facing Cliffs Site of Grace in Liurnia
However, defeating Margit isn’t the only way to access Roundtable Hold. So, those of you who feel a bit nervous about fighting this boss can try this method. The second condition to trigger the Melina cutscene is by resting at any Site of Grace outside Limgrave (in Liurnia of the Lakes). The best way to meet this condition is by resting at the Lake-Facing Cliffs Site of Grace.
The only way to find this Grace is by going north from Stormhill until you find a broken bridge. Next, go across the bridge and climb the hillside to find it. Finally, rest at the Site of Grace to trigger the Roundtable Hold cutscene. However, following this method will skip Roderika’s first quest as she travels to Roundtable Hold.
Rest at a Site of Grace in Caelid:
Players who wish to access Roundtable Hold without beating Margit or losing Roderika’s first quest can use this option. For this condition, the Tarnished by rest at any of these Sites of Grace in Caelid to trigger the Roundtable Hold cutscene:
- Smoldering Church:
To reach this location, you must start at the Stormhill Shack and go northeast until you cross Summonwater Village Outskirts Sites of Grace. Keep going straight to enter Caelid properly.
Next, go north and deal with Anastasia, Tarnished-Eater’s invasion just outside the church. Finally, go inside the Smoldering Church and rest at the Site of Grace to reach Roundtable Hold.
- Sellia Under-Stair Site of Grace:
You can also unlock Roundtable by resting at the Sellia Under-Stair Site of Grace. To find this location, start at Agheel Lake in Limgrave and explore the central region to find the Dragon-Burnt Ruins. Enter the ruins and head to the center to find a trapped chest. Using this chest will teleport you to Sellia Crystal Tunnel. This tunnel is filled with tough enemies (way above your level), so avoid all conflicts. Next, run toward the tunnel’s entrance and rest at the Site of Grace to remove the teleport debuff. Finally, turn left and follow the path around the swamps to find the Sellia Under-Stair Site of Grace; rest here to unlock Roundtable Hold.
- Bestial Sanctum Site of Grace:
If you aren’t confident enough to handle the overpowered enemies of the Sellia Crystal Tunnel, you can opt for this method. To reach the Bestial Sanctum Site of Grace, start in East Limgrave and go northeast until you reach the Third Church of Marika.
Next, follow the nearby stream and head inside the trees in the north to find a Waygate. If you walk through this portal, you will get teleported to the Bestial Sanctum doors.
Finally, go inside the doors and head towards the pillars to find the Bestial Sanctum Site of Grace (D’s quest will also lead you here). Resting at this Grace will trigger the Roundtable Hold sequence.
How to get back to Roundtable Hold?
Roundtable Hold is located in a secluded area that’s not a part of the Lands Between. So, even after unlocking Roundtable Hold, you can’t just walk right in by wandering out in the open. As a result, players feel locked out after exiting the hub for the first time.
Fortunately, getting back to Roundtable Hold after visiting it for the first time is not that big of a problem.
In other words, you can travel freely between the Lands Between and Roundtable Hold at any time you wish. All you need to do is rest at any Site of Grace, open the world map, and select Roundtable Hold from the bottom left corner of your screen to return to Roundtable.
Furthermore, you can also visit this location without resting at a Site of Grace as long as you are away from enemies and the fast travel option is available. For this method, open the world map and choose Roundtable Hold the same way you use fast travel to access other Sites of Grace.
Conclusion:
Roundtable Hold is one of the most important areas in Elden Ring. It is the central hub where you can meet different NPCs, upgrade your weapons, and purchase new items. As a result, it is the most-revisited area in the entire game.
However, players must get to Roundtable Hold by speaking with Melina and completing any of the three conditions before unlocking the Roundtable fast travel option.
Therefore, this article explains all the ways to reach Roundtable Hold to help solve your problems.
