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.

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.
