Elden Ring<\/em> does a great job of guiding players along with the main story and keeping it in a tight progression. Players are often required to obtain key items or kill specific bosses to unlock areas. These key items are obtained in a variety of ways that include looting corpses or treasure chests, progressing NPC questlines, or being dropped by specific enemies. Altogether, FromSoftware encourages players to adventure and explore the Lands Between to progress.<\/p>
One location players are struggling to find is the Grand Lift of Rold. This lift plays a crucial part in progressing the main story because it leads to the Mountaintops of the Giants, where players will receive help from the maiden Melina.<\/p>
As players continue through Leyndell, the Royal Capital, they’ll reach a boss fight against Morgott, the Omen King. Morgott is a challenging foe that players may be familiar with by this point in the game. When he is defeated, the game near-forces players to go to the base of the Erdtree and attempt to enter. With nothing left to do, players will rest at the Site of Grace in the boss arena and be greeted by Melina. She will talk to the player about what must happen next to burn the thorns on the door to access the Erdtree. Melina will eventually give the player Rold\u2019s Medallion, which is used to activate the Grand Lift of Rold. While it is obvious what to do, what is not obvious is where the next Grand Lift is or how to get to it.<\/p>
