Once Elden Ring players have defeated General Starscourge Radahn on Caelid’s eastern battleground, they will unlock access to the War-Dead Catacombs, a Dungeon located near the northernmost point of the battlefield near the coastline. The location contains valuable resources like Ghost/Grave Gloveworts and unique loot, such as the Collapsing Stars Sorcery and two Spirit Ashes. To reach this Dungeon, Tarnished travelers must ride north of the Starscourge Radahn Site of Grace until they spot the entrance to the War-Dead Catacombs. However, the entryway can be somewhat hard to see, as its doorframe’s color blends in with the surrounding cliffside.Â
How to Complete War-Dead Catacombs in Elden Ring
Although the War-Dead Catacombs in Elden Ring is relatively small, the Dungeon can be challenging to complete due to its winding corridors. The player’s goal should be to reach the lever on the second level to unlock the doorway to the boss chamber. To find the passage to the lever, Tarnished must look for a certain statue.

Starting from the entrance of the War-Dead Catacombs, head down the stairwell to the central area. Here, several Cleanrot Knight Spirits and Radhan Soldier Spirits will be battling on the first or bottom floor level. First, Tarnished can find the Collapsing Stars Sorcery in a chest at the back of the bottom level. However, be mindful as the floor is covered with liquid rot. Return to the main area above to continue.
To find the lever to open the boss room, go up the second stairway on the right of the central area. Head into the corridor and go down the first two hallways, being cautious of all the Radhan Soldier Spirits guarding the passages. At the third path, turn right to see an opening with a large blue statue outside. Leap through and go up the stairwell on the left. The room guarded by two Imps and a Cleanrot Knight Spirit has a corpse with the Radahn Soldier Ashes. Next, the other doorway leads to an archer standing next to the Dungeon’s lever. Activate the lever, drop onto the floor below, and head down the central passageway to defeat the boss.
To complete the War-Dead Catacombs in Elden Ring, Tarnished must defeat the Putrid Tree Spirit in the back room of the Dungeon once they’ve pulled the lever above the central room’s entryway. The boss will drop the Redmane Knight Ogha Ashes and Golden Seed, two rewards well-worth the player’s effort.
