The land buried deep within the subterranean network of the Ainsel River holds many secrets. Amongst the many hidden locations in Elden Ring are the Uhl Palace Ruins, a testament to a bygone era, a glimpse of the forgotten past, the home to Malformed Star Boss, and possessing the treasure of Wing of Astel. This area is divided into two distinct sections; the ruins hold secrets waiting to be unearthed.
Locating these ruins is difficult, but if you find it, you can get some precious items like Celestial Dew, Furlcalling Finger Remedy, and a Stonesword Key. One section of these ruins can be accessed from the Ainsel River Well via Liurnia of the Lakes, while the other section requires you to visit Renna’s Rise. Let’s explore both ways of getting to Uhl Palace Ruins.
Uhl Palace Ruins (Southern Entrance) in Elden Ring
Liurnia of the Lakes is an interesting place filled with enemies and is the one way of getting to Uhl Palace Ruins. Cross the Minor Erdtree and move to the cliffside to the Eastern Tableland. This is where your journey to Uhl Palace Ruins begins!
Go to Ainsel River Well
The first location you will be going to is the Ainsel River Well, closest to Eastern Tableland in Elden Ring. Head to the northeast side of the cliff, where you will find a Golem Warrior guarding the well. Take him out and enter well.
Use the elevator to head to the underground area of the Ainsel River.
Cross The Ainsel River
Once you’ve entered the Ainsel River, you must head to the area’s southwest side. Here, you will go past a group of giant worker ants. Take out the first group of ants and enter the tunnel. You will encounter two more ants here and find another ant near separating paths; take the left tunnel on the southeast side.
Clear out the way, keeping to the southern side till you reach an open area with a giant pillar standing in the water and building on the right side. The exact area is shown in the map below.
Go up the stairs and discover the Ainsel River Sluice Gate Site of Grace.
Ainsel River Sluice Gate Site of Grace
From the grace site, enter the door on the left side and take the elevator down to Uhl Palace Ruins.
Uhl Palace Ruins (Northern Entrance) in Elden Ring
Another way of getting inside Uhl Palace Ruins is by unlocking the Ainsel River Main. The area can be accessed through a portal that can only appear after completing Ranni’s questline. Therefore, we recommend completing the questline before coming to Uhl Palace Ruins.
When your quests are complete, go to the Ainsel River Main Site of Grace and choose the option to talk to Ranni. You must exhaust the dialogue options until the gateway to the northern entrance is unlocked. But before you enter, beware of the claymans you will find at the entrance. This is where you will find Malformed Star and eliminate Ranni’s quest of eliminating the Baleful Shadows.
