This page contains everything you need to know about the locations in the Caelid region of Elden Ring.

How Many Locations Are There in Caelid?¶

Caelid is a mostly desolate region, plagued by the corruption of Scarlet Rot, a disease and status effect which is used by some of the enemies you’ll encounter in the region. Caelid is also home to a large number of undead, and many of the enemies here have been mutated by Scarlet Rot, as has the flora and fauna. There are 30 unique locations to be found in Caelid, and numerous Sites of Grace. You can access Caelid from the northeast of Limgrave, where it connects to the region. Although this is relatively close to the starting area, most of the bosses here will be challenging for a low level player.
