Temple Town Ruins is a tricky area in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, and when you get there it isn’t actually clear how to get into it. It’s located in the Ruins of Rauh, which isn’t easy to get to in itself. (Check out our guide on how to get there.) Once you’re there, pick up the map fragment for the area, as that will make it a lot easier to get to the Temple Town Ruins. (Check out our other guide on where to find the map fragment for the Ruins of Rauh.)

What you want to do here is skirt the larger structure until you come to a small gap in the wall. It’s located here:

Go through here, and you will find yourself in a courtyard. Welcome to the Temple Town Ruins!
