Suppressing Pillar is a location that was added in the Elden Ring DLC, but its importance is a mystery. On top of the Pillar, players can find a message referring to this location as the center of the Lands Between and that all manner of death washes up there. This could mean that the Realm of Shadow was once the center of the Lands Between but was hidden by Marika, but alas, this is all speculation.

This guide includes a step-by-step walkthrough on how to reach the Suppressing Pillar in the Shadow of the Erdtree and what players might find upon reaching there.

How To Get To Suppressing Pillar

After heading north of the first Grace in Gravesite Plain, you will soon reach the Three-Path Cross Site of Grace. From here, summon your Torrent and ride northeast to the Ellac Greatbridge. Cross the Greatbridge, mindful of the Messmer Soldier and arrows flying at you to come upon the Castle Front. There should be a Site of Grace you can interact with here and make your way southeast through the main road leading to the camp where multiple Messmer Soldiers are patrolling.

You can entirely ignore all of these enemies as they will stop chasing you after a minute but if you want their Armor Sets or weapons you can defeat and loot them.

Continue riding along this road, past the Shadow enemies and countless Stone Slabs. You will soon come across a somewhat open field with a Site of Grace on the right and an NPC named Igon shouting.

Keep riding along the road to the south, and you will soon see the Suppressing Pillar in the distance. Some Gravebirds sitting on top of the pillars are not statues but enemies that will start following you as soon as you get close to them. You can deal with them, as they can get annoying with their ranged attacks.

Ride the elevator to the top to find a chest you can loot to pick up an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone. You will also find a Slab of Stone with the following message carved on it:

"The very center of the Lands Between.

All manners of Death wash up here, only to be suppressed."
