Erected in honor of their goddess, the Second Church of Marika in Elden Ring used to be a holy place on the Altus Plateau. However, bloody hunters are now ravaging it, hellbent on destroying its sanctity.
In this guide, we will help you locate the Second Church of Marika and how you can defeat the invader at this location with some sweet loot.
Second Church of Marika Location
The second Church of Marika can be found in the western region of the Alus Plateau.
It is located to the north of the Grand Lift of Dectus and west of the Altus Tunnel. This mid-game area can be reached by finding both parts of the Dectus Medallion, which is required to activate the Grand Lift of Dectus.
To reach this area early, use the Ruin-Strewn Precipice to skip the Grand Lift of Dectus and enter the Altus Plateau from a separate route.
Once you reach the Altus Plateau, go to the Altus Highway junction Site of Grace. From there, travel north until you come across the Second Church of Marika hidden inside a small ruin.
