Exploration in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree retains the key characteristics of the base game in all the best ways. Fake walls, hidden tunnels, and a confusing map are some of the biggest obstacles players will have to overcome to find everything there is to find in the DLC.

One of the locations that can be incredibly easy to miss, despite it being a central gateway to other places, is Bonny Village. Found in Scadu Altus, reaching Bonny Village requires taking a hidden path through Moorth Ruins.

How to Find the Hidden Path to Bonny Village Through Moorth Ruins

In Moorth Ruins, there are two paths leading underground. One of them is too steep a drop to jump down, which will always result in player death if you choose to jump in. The other path is a bit more hidden and can be taken to reach Bonny Village. Here is how to get there.

From Moorth Ruins Site of Grace (where you meet Dryleaf Dane), look for a large stone tower in the middle of the ruins. To the right of the tower, there is a broken-down building with a corpse and a purple item (Shadow Realm Rune). To the left of the item is a small opening that opens up a path underground. Following this linear tunnel will guide players directly to a ladder that leads to the entrance of Bonny Village.

There is a chest in this tunnel containing the Golden Arcs, one of the best incantations in the DLC.

What to Do in Bonny Village

  • Bonny Butchering Knife: A purple item on a corpse just before the broken bridge separating the two sections of the village.
  • Tooth Whip: Inside the Whipping Hut, located past the bridge heading northeast.
  • Revered Spirit Ash: On a statue at the far left of the ravine going through the middle of the village. Only visible from inside the ravine.
  • O Mother Gesture: Can be found directly north of the village. Used to open a secret pathway next to the Storehouse, Back Section Site of Grace.

  1. The southern bridge leads to Bonny Gaol, where you can find the Night Armor Set and the Curseblade Labirith Spirit Ashes.
  2. The eastern bridge leads to the Rabbath Rise Tower, the Cathedral of Manus Metyr, and the Church District. Going to the Church District is the only way to reach the Storehouse, Back Section in the Shadow Keep.
