All Paintings in Elden Ring Shadow of Erdtree: How to Find and Solve the Puzzles

Puzzles related to paintings were already present in the original Elden Ring. The Shadow of the Erdtree expansion added new puzzles to the game. In this guide, we will tell you where to find them and how to solve them.

In the DLC, you will find three paintings — The Sacred Tower, Incursion, and Domain of Dragons. To receive a reward, you need to find the artwork itself and then the ghost of the artist. First, you will see a chair, and then the artist will appear. After some time, he will disappear and leave behind a valuable item.

At the very beginning of the Shadow of the Erdtree walkthrough, you will find yourself on the Tombstone Plain. Activate the grace site of the same name and move northeast until you reach the Charred Ruins area.

Continue running northeast through the vast cemetery.

You will see a cave in the rock. This is where the painting you need to inspect is located.

First, you need to burn the sealing tree in the Ancient Ruins of Rauch. After that, proceed to the Nameless Northern Mausoleum dungeon, which is located north of the Great Bridge over Ellak.

To reach it, you need to break the pyramid and fly up twice on the air currents while riding a horse.

When you reach the Nameless Mausoleum, run south and jump onto the ledge that is slightly lower.

Approach the two towering rocks. The ghost of the artist will appear between them.

Talk to him and take the Spiral Tree Seal. To use it, you need 17 Faith and 8 Strength. This item increases the effectiveness of all spiral spells.

It is located in the southwestern part of the Tombstone Plain.

First, activate the grace site called Crossroads at the Three Roads.

From there, move west to the staircase, but do not climb it. Instead, run south along the path. On the left, you should see the grace site Last Rest at the Mountain Road.

If you have already activated this point, you can start your search from there. You will find the painting to the southeast. You will need to run several hundred meters past the rocks and hills. The artwork awaits you in a small ruined hut where the artist used to live.
