Ruined Forges are new locations in the Elden Ring DLC, which, as the name suggests, are Forges. They have a distinct outward appearance and have either Misbegotten enemies or Bloodfiends roaming around them. Forges are great places to explore if the players want extra Smithing Stones, as almost every Forge has at least one Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone.

This guide includes all the details on the locations of the Ruined Forges in Shadow of the Erdtree and what notable loot players can acquire there.

Players who want to focus on the story can ignore these locations on their first visit and revisit them after the final boss has been dealt with.

Shadow of the Erdtree's Moore quest gives players tough choices to make, and here is what players need to know about the consequences.

How To Get To Ruined Forge Lava Intake

From the Castle Front Site of Grace, summon your Torrent and ride south past the barricade. There should be a few Messmer Soldiers patrolling around the area.

You can deal with them to see if they drop their armor sets or weapons.

After that, head further south, towards the Bloodfiends fighting the Messmer Soldiers. Keep going past them, and soon, you will reach the entrance to the Ruin Forge Lava Intake.
