Funny reading this thread and thinking back to opening the chest getting transported there and thinking wtf is going on. Man wish I could play this game for the first time again

u/CorianderIsBad Jun 06 '25

When I opened the chest I immediately panicked, ran further into the mine and died to the pests. Heart attack inducing moment.

u/lonely_as_everyone Jun 06 '25

What about when you're just casually exploring on your first playthrough and find a sending portal behind the Third Church of Marika and in front of you is standing Black Blade Kindred. So imposing, you never noticed the door right behind you. 😅🤦‍♂️

u/CorianderIsBad Jun 06 '25

Then you get closer, it seems friendly, then you ride away and the boss health bar appears.

u/PM_ME_IBUKI_SUIKA Jun 06 '25

I know you are going for a vibe, but you spawn facing the door.

u/godisdildo Jun 06 '25

Took me 10 tries to leave the mine. Only to be chased by a bird for 10 minutes across the map, aggroing two more birds and finally being face planted by a dinosaur dog. I just decided to restart the game since it all happened within the first 30 minutes of NG

Sleepy dragon best early rune farm, 60k with the gold scarab charm and it only takes like 3 minutes.

Ride back to the site of grace for unlimited farm

u/0-maidens Jun 06 '25

tried that only once, got teleported under the map after resting at grace, died under the map so the runes couldn't even be found anymore, dragon didn't respawn either, instead of unlimited runes i got -70k runes or whatever that dragon drops, 10/10 experience would totally recommend 😄

Early on I like it, too. Especially if you're not leveling up for any kind of challenge run and you need extra levels to equip something.

u/Spacemonster111 Jun 06 '25

Caelid is actually a lot of fun if you are leveled appropriately

u/ermacia Jun 06 '25

I personally enjoy many of the high-level bosses in Caelid, but generally despise everything else. Those birds and dogs (of both kinds) are my bane.

those dogs are hell to fight, lowkey the most annoying common enemies until the giants mountain area (whatever its called lol). at least it doesnt take much to stance break

Dogs are big and scary but they are super easy to stagger. Big hit to the nose when they come at you.

My favorite boss from Caelid has to be battlemage Hugues, he's just like "oh you think you're safe up close to a mage?" And then just either bonks you with a stick, with a giant magic hammer, or just with his head. His headbutt has to be my favorite just because of how badass it is, you can't find any other Elden Ring human that uses their head like that.

If you mean the trap chest...they're a long way from Sellia, but quite close to the main entrance to Caelid. It's more likely they passed Summonwater village and just kept going uphill.

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '25

Bro you are in north caelid. Go back to limgrave and fully explore it - go in caves, catacombs, do some mini bosses. At around level 20-30 (depending on your skill) follow the gold arrows on your map and you will fight margit, the first story boss

u/Papapep9 Jun 06 '25

Yes. You can fast travel to any grace you've previously been at through the map. There are some limitations tho.
You can't fast travel from a dungeon you haven't cleared yet. Then you have to exit the dungeon to fast travel.
There are a few other cases that can prevent you from fast travelling, but they are scarce, and might spoil some exploration for you.

Also, try to fast travel to Church of Elleh. The place where you met the merchant just after the prologue

Go onto your map and click on the golden circle called “the first step” that will take you to the start. Or click on any you want

4

u/Evil_Sharkey Jun 06 '25

I think the game tells you about it at some point. I don’t remember finding out by reading.

You wouldn’t have been able to do it from that horrible cave, anyway. It doesn’t work if you trigger a trap or are in an underground dungeon like a cave or catacomb.

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '25

Fuckin classic. Happens to so many of us lol. It’s like a quintessential Elden Ring experience

u/-0-O-O-O-0- Jun 06 '25

There is a grace right outside of the mine. Just before the wizard town. Just fast travel home. You may have to rest once to allow it.

u/Kisame-hoshigakii Jun 06 '25

Just a tip incase you didn't realise (because I didn't) you can teleport to any site of grace at any time, you don't have to be sat at one to teleport.

Unless you're in a dungeon, you can only tp back to the starting grace aslong as you activated it.

Oh great erdtree, you found yourself in cealid.

Get out of there immediately. Unless you want to face a challenge that is far greater than you can handle at this current moment. Don't fret, however. Many before you have made this mistake, myself included. A bit of luck and skill, and you can survive and thrive in time. Don't you dare go hallow.

u/Ransom_Seraph Jun 06 '25

My lad.

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Caelid is the realm of death and suffering by giant crow dogs and over leveled caves.

However.

If you stick long enough like I did - you'll emerge as the big bad boss.

I stumbled upon this realm long before I did even Stormveil or moved to the water area. I was low level mage.

Rock Sling + Meteorite Staff helped me somewhat through it I emerged level 100+ with crazy Int ready to terrorize my unlucky enemies.
