The Underworld in Elden Ring is a second in-between level that exists completely separate from the overworld. It consists of several separate areas that are optional to explore. You don’t have to set foot in these subterranean realms to complete the game, but it’s worth it.
Without access to the underground, you’re missing out on a significant portion of the game, some awesome bosses, many valuable items, and more. In the following guide, we will show you how to get into the underground areas of the Elden Ring and what awaits you. Elden Ring: Secret All Regions, Entrances And How To Exit.
Secret Areas in the Elden Ring
Below the standard world map is a second level that you cannot see at first. Even after finding various parts of the map, you only have access to the landscape of the overworld.

- The underworld regions have map fragments that you can find to reveal the details of the environment.
- In some underground regions, you can summon and ride Stormwind.
- Switch between the two levels of the world map by pressing R3 (the right stick), and you can fast travel to an above-ground place of grace.
