To get into Temple Town Ruins in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, start at the Temple Town Ruins Site of Grace, then ride directly south and past the ruins. Turn left toward the south side of the wall bordering the main ruin, then look for a small hole in one of the arches, concealed behind a small bush.

The hole is just big enough for you to squeeze through on horseback, and it’s exactly where I’ve dropped the pin on the map above.

Ride through and you’ll be inside Temple Town Ruins. There, you can find a Scadutree Fragment and one of the best Talismans in Shadow of the Erdtree: The Two-Handed Sword Talisman.
