So, you've found the Roundtable Hold in Elden Ring, a seemingly safe haven in the Lands Between. But now you're ready to venture out again, to explore more of the challenging world and continue your Tarnished journey. Leaving the Roundtable Hold might seem straightforward, but there's a slight trick to it. This guide will walk you through exactly how to leave this crucial hub.
Finding Your Way Out: A Step-by-Step Guide
The Roundtable Hold isn't designed with an obvious "exit" button. Instead, you need to navigate back to where you originally entered. Here's the process:
-
Locate the Entrance Hall: From wherever you are in the Roundtable Hold, make your way back to the large circular entrance hall. This is the area where you first arrived and spoke with Rennala.
-
Head Towards the Door: Once in the entrance hall, you'll see a large wooden door, the same one you used to enter the Roundtable Hold. It's usually subtly lit and fairly prominent.
-
Walk Through the Door: Simply walk towards the door and through it. This will transport you back to the area where you originally entered the Roundtable Hold.
That's it! You've successfully left the Roundtable Hold. Simple, but easily missed the first time around.
Why You Might Need to Leave the Roundtable Hold
There are several reasons why you might want to leave the Roundtable Hold:
-
Continuing your Adventure: The Roundtable Hold, while useful for leveling up, buying items, and interacting with NPCs, is not a place to fight bosses or progress through the game's main story. You'll need to leave to explore the world map and complete quests.
-
Accessing New Areas: As you progress, you'll discover new areas of the Lands Between. You need to leave the safety of the Roundtable Hold to explore these locations and find new challenges.
-
Summoning Help (or Invaders): The Roundtable Hold is a sanctuary area, so you won't find other players to summon here (or invaders to fight). You need to be outside of the Hold to use summoning signs.
-
Getting to Merchants: While some vendors are in the Roundtable Hold, others are located throughout the Lands Between. Leaving the Hold will grant you access to these merchants.
Common Mistakes and Troubleshooting
While leaving the Roundtable Hold is simple, some players get confused. Here are some common issues:
-
Getting lost within the Hold: The Roundtable Hold can be a bit labyrinthine. If you're having trouble finding the exit, carefully retrace your steps back to the entrance hall.
-
Expecting a clear exit button: There isn't a designated "leave" button. The process is simply navigating back to the entrance.
-
Forgetting where you entered: If you can’t remember how you arrived, take your time, explore carefully and you’ll find your way back.
By following these steps, you can easily leave the Roundtable Hold and continue your journey through the challenging and rewarding world of Elden Ring. Good luck, Tarnished!
