The Village of the Albinaurics is a creepy, dark village in Elden Ring found hidden in the bowels of Liurnia. The village is pillaged and destroyed by the cheesemongers in search of new lands. That is why you will see many corpses over there.
While being deserted, this village is home to two unique NPCs who play an important role in your quest progress. You must also visit this place to meet Nepheli Loux and progress her questline.
In this guide, we will help you reach the Village of the Albinaurics with ease. We will also tell you how to get to the top of this village, which might not be apparent to many.
Village of the Albinaurics Location
The Village of Albinaurics is located in the southwest region of the Liurnia Region. Getting here is very easy. Just use the road from the Lunar Estate Ruins and follow it uphill, and you will eventually reach the Village of Albinaurics.
You can also start from the Academy of Raya Lucaria and go southwest until you come across poisonous marshlands. This area is characterized by giant crabs that will attack you on sight.
Keep hugging the left wall until you come across a ramp. Follow the path to enter the Village of the Albinaurics and activate the site of grace for fast travel in the future.
Activities at the Village of the Albinaurics
The Village of the Albinaurics is littered with enemies like Depraved Perfumers, first-generation albinaurics, and rotten dogs. Once you go above the ramp, turn left to find the first perfumer. Defeat this enemy and travel northeast to locate a jar.
Hit the jar to reveal Albus. He is an old albinauric who is holding one part of the Secret Haligtree Medallion (right). If you are following Nepheli Loux’s questline, you will meet her in the Village of the Albinaurics during the third encounter.
She will be sitting under the bridge behind a pile of corpses. After killing the first perfumer, turn back to locate a bridge. This bridge is littered with first-generation albinaurics, who will attack you on sight. Cross the bridge and you will come across a field boss, the Omenkiller.
It is accompanied by stray dogs and is very difficult to take down at low levels. Once you kill the boss, it will drop the Crucible Knot Talisman.
In the graveyard of Albinaurics, you will also find a Larval Tear, so the visit to this village will be worthwhile.
How to get to the top of the Village of the Albinaurics in Elden Ring
You can’t reach the top of the Village of the Albinaurics from this route. That place is cut off and can only be accessed via a hidden elevator once you defeat Astel, the Naturalborn.
To find Astel, progress Ranni’s Questline until you reach its end. Defeat Astel and use the elevator of Nokron to ascend to the Cathedral of Manus Celes. This place is above the Village of the Albinaurics on the map and has confused a lot of players.
Make sure that you follow our Ranni’s Questline guide to access the hidden area and acquire the Moonlight Greatsword in the process, in addition to witnessing a secret ending.
