Elden Ring Stormveil Castle is a Legacy Dungeon, a fortress for Godrick the Grafted, located on the cliffs of Stormhill. You should be aware that Stormveil Castle is a difficult dungeon with multiple enemies, traps, ballistas, mini-bosses, and everything you wish for from a FromSoftware game.

Before starting this dungeon, I recommend you be at least level 30-35 and upgrade your Sacred Flask with Sacred Tears and Golden Seeds. You can check this Sacred Tear Locations guide and Golden Seed Locations guide. You are not allowed to ride in this area.

Here is a list of all the items you will find going through Castle Stormveil from the Main Gate until you reach the Rampart Tower Site of Grace:

  • 1 x Furlcalling Finger Remedy
  • 3 x Fire Grease
  • 1 x Golden Rune [1]
  • 3 x Ruin Fragment
  • 1 x Smithing Stone [2]
  • 10 x Bolt
  • 1 x Smithing Stone [3]
  • 1 x Marred Leather Shield
  • 1 x Golden Rune [2]
  • 1 x Hookclaws
  • 5 x Throwing Dagger
  • 10 x St. Trina’s Arrow
  • 3 x Smoldering Butterfly
  • 1 x Curved Sword Talisman
  • 1 x Brick Hammer
  • 1 x Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot
  • 2 x Drawstring Fire Grease

In this guide, we’re going to explain how to loot everything in Castle Stormveil, starting from the Castle Stormveil Main Gate Site of Grace until you reach the Rampart Tower Site of Grace.

Where To Find Castle Stormveil

Stormveil Castle will be available to you if you’ve defeated Margit, the Fell Omen.

Approach the main gate and rest at the Site of Grace next to it to get started.

How To Reach Castle Stormveil Cliffside Site of Grace

Looking north, near the site of grace, you will see a narrow gap that leads to a stairway with a corpse by the end of it, holding 1 x Furlcalling Finger Remedy. Climb back up the stairs, and you will see on your left a platform made out of wooden planks.

Jump down and follow the path until you reach a corpse holding 2 x Fire Grease. Since there is nothing left to collect, teleport back to Castle Stormveil Main Gate Site of Grace. On the left, inside the room, you will meet Gatekeeper Gostoc.

If you speak with him, he will tell you to avoid entering the castle through the main gate because it is heavily guarded. Instead, he proposes that you attempt the other way, through the opening (on the left), claiming that the guards are unaware of it.

You will be offered the option of accepting or rejecting his advice. If you refuse, he will understand and appreciate your decision. He will even help you open the gate. We will go over Gostoc’s recommended opening in this walkthrough.

Elden Ring Castle Stormveil Cliffside Site of Grace Wall

Go out through the opening, and on the left side of the summoning pool, there should be a body that you can loot for 1 x Golden Rune [1]. Turn around and jump on the stone beam on the wall marked in the image above.

Right in front of you, there should be a corpse that you can loot to find 3 x Ruin Fragment. From here, keep following the path until you jump over the wall in the west backside of the castle. Look to your right before jumping down to the castle grounds; the destroyed wall is in the shape of steps that you can jump on to reach the higher ground on the left.

Elden Ring Castle Stormveil Cliffside Site of Grace Smithing Stone

There will be a body by the wall that you can loot for 1 x Smithing Stone [2] when you get there. After acquiring the upgrade material, make your way to the bottom, kill the Bladed Talon Eagle, and proceed to the south.

Jump down and kill the two Bladed Talon Eagles. If you can, use ranged attacks to kill eagles to avoid taking unnecessary damage.

Continue to the left and work your way around the cliffside, where you will find another body that you can loot to find 10 x Bolt. Turn around and climb up the hill until you reach an area guarded by three Bladed Talon Eagles and a corpse that you can loot to find 1 x Smithing Stone [3].

Head up the overlooking area, where you’ll find the Castle Stormveil Cliffside Site of Grace, which you can use to rest and to save as a checkpoint.

On the left side, there’s also another summoning pool.

How To Reach Castle Stormveil Rampart Tower Site of Grace

Head up on the stairway made of wooden planks. Before you reach the top, you will find another corpse midway up the steps, just before reaching the top of the platform, that you can pillage for 1 x Marred Leather Shield.

On your way to the top, you will encounter three Castle Guards roaming. You can try backstabbing the first one so that you avoid alerting the other two. After you kill all three Castle Guards around the Castle Tower, there should be another body that you can loot to find 1 x Golden Rune [2].

As you approach the body, another Castle Guard will be at the top of a wooden platform, ready to throw fire pots at you. You can either kill him with ranged attacks and then loot the corpse or quickly loot the corpse and dodge the hits.

Once you get inside, you will reach the castle’s wine cellar, where you will encounter two slow enemies resting near the barrels. Kill both enemies and then go straight under the stairs, where you will encounter a Castle Guard wielding an axe.

You can try backstabbing for a one-hit kill if you are melee or engage in the fight. After killing the guard, check the left-side corner at the end to find a corpse that you can loot for 1 x Hookclaws. Go back, and as you head up the stairs, you will see more wooden red barrels blocking the way.

Elden Ring Castle Stormveil Barrels

Slowly get close to the wooden barrels until you get noticed by the enemies throwing firepots. They will destroy the explosive barrels, so you can rush them to take them down. Once you’ve killed them, you can find a corpse that you can loot for 5 x Throwing Dagger on the right of the locked door.

Elden Ring Castle Stormveil Loot Next to locked door

Go back and above the wooden platform, and you will notice a big hole in the wall surrounded by roots and vines. Jump on it to find a body and loot it for 10 x St. Trina’s Arrow.

Elden Ring Castle Stormveil Hole in the wall

Jump back from the hole and continue forward through the narrow pathway with a corpse and explosives barrels in your way. Quickly loot the body to receive 3 x Smoldering Butterfly and dodge roll back since there is an enemy at the end of the pathway ready to throw firepots when you loot the corpse.

Turn left, break all the boxes and barrels in your way to go further up, and kill the enemy sitting by the door. Inside the room, you will encounter a mini-boss known as Banished Knight, a strong enemy wielding a sword and a shield.

Elden Ring Castle Stormveil Banished Knight

Make sure you have a torch equipped to make the fight more accessible since it will be your only source of light. Because the knight’s sword strikes have a great range and aggressively wielding the shield generates a swirl of wind, you may want to preserve your distance as you fight the enemy.

After defeating the knight, search the chest into the room to receive 1 x Curved Sword Talisman and the corpse to retrieve the Rusty Key to open the locked door. Before you unlock the door, as you get outside the room, turn left and grab the 1 x Golden Rune [2] right under the doorway.

Elden Ring Castle Stormveil Loot to collect

Now, the locked door should be right in front of you. Unlock it and climb the ladder to the top, where we will reach the top floor of the wine cellar. First, go to the right and see another enemy sitting.

Elden Ring Castle Stormveil where to jump

Jump on the platform and kill it, then slowly walk on the wooden beam to reach the other platform, where you will find at the end of it a corpse that you can loot to find 1 x Fire Grease. Turn around and jump back on the final platform, right next to the hole in the wall.

You will encounter a Castle Guard wielding a spear and a shield that you need to kill on the ramparts outside. In the castle tower, you will encounter another Castle Guard wielding a crossbow near a corpse that you can pillage for 1 x Brick Hammer.

Now, go back to where we climbed the ladder. An enemy waits to ambush you around the corner on the left side, so be prepared to sprint and dodge toward the set of stairs.

Elden Ring Castle Stormveil Ambush

Climb the stairs, and you will encounter another enemy sitting and a corpse to loot for 1 x Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot. As you get outside through the open doors, you will see a set of castle stairs on your left. Before you go up, walk around the narrow path of the castle until you find a corpse to loot 3 x Mushroom.

Elden Ring Castle Stormveil Stairs

From here, go back and climb up the stairs. At the top, you will face another Banished Knight wielding an axe that’s roaming around. You could wait and sneak up behind him to perform a backstab and finish him off.

Or, if you want to have a challenge, go in. After defeating the knight, take the stairs to the second floor. On your left, on a platform behind the elevator, there’s a corpse that you can loot for 2 x Drawstring Fire Grease.

Elden Ring Castle Stormveil Loot Next To Elevator

You can get there by jumping on the right side of the elevator, near the lever. Turn back, and on the left side of the room, you will find the doorway to Rampart Tower Site of Grace. That’s everything you can loot through Castle Stormveil from the Main Gate to the Rampart Tower Site of Grace. If you have any questions, let us know in the comments section below.
