Chief Bloodfiend is an optional boss in Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC that awards the Bloodfiend Hexer's Ashes when defeated. While that may not be the best Spirit Ash in the game, some players will undoubtedly be interested in obtaining it. This guide is written with those players in mind, and the location of Elden Ring's Chief Bloodfiend is detailed in what follows.

Players should make sure that they collect the Rauh Ruins Map Fragment in Shadow of the Erdtree while they are pursuing the Chief Bloodfiend.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree - Chief Bloodfiend Location

Go to Temple Town Ruins

The first step toward finding the Chief Bloodfiend is traveling to the Temple Town Ruins, a location that is accessible as soon as players reach Scadu Altus. For the uninitiated, the journey to the ruins begins with a ride through a swamp, which is accessed via a tunnel to the northeast of Scadu Altus's Moorth Ruins, and this guide to reaching the Temple Town Ruins in Shadow of the Erdtree should simplify the process.

Go to Rivermouth Cave

After reaching the Temple Town Ruins, players should head southward until they reach the edge of a cliff. A series of platforms extend from the side of the cliff, and fans should use them to descend into the Ellac River.

Once a player reaches the river, they should travel in a southwesterly direction, staying close to the cliff wall that they have just descended. Fans that travel in that direction will soon discover that there is a cave entrance in the cliff wall, and they should activate the Site of Grace that is beyond it.

Go to Chief Bloodfiend

With the Rivermouth Cave Site of Grace activated, players should descend into the cave until they reach a chamber into which a group of wolves fall. There is a rock ramp that fans should scale in this room, and they should jump on the corpse that they encounter upon reaching the top. This action will cause the floor beneath the corpse to crumble, and players should follow the blood trail after recovering from the fall.

A large, blood-filled chamber awaits players at the end of the blood trail, and there is a corridor at its southeast corner. That corridor leads directly to a mist door, and fans should traverse the mist to engage the Chief Bloodfiend in combat.

The Chief Bloodfiend is a formidable foe, and players who are struggling to defeat him may want to take a break from the fight in order to collect more Scadutree Fragments in Shadow of the Erdtree.
