Elden Ring: Fort Of Reprimand Walkthrough (2024)

The Fort of Reprimand is a small dungeon located east of Castle Ensis on Scadu Altus in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree. The fort mostly features a linear-level design but hides a few secrets that can be easy to miss. You can find a few interesting items while exploring the fort, including a talisman, Ash of War, a quest item, and the dungeon's main boss.

It's also easy to miss this fort since it's located at the southeastern end of the Scadu Altus. Nonetheless, if you've just stumbled across this dungeon in Shadow of the Erdtree and would like to explore it thoroughly, the following walkthrough should prove valuable.

How To Reach Fort Of Reprimand In Shadow Of The Erdtree

There are two ways of accessing Fort of Reprimand in Elden Ring DLC, one of which involves clearing Castle Ensis and defeating Rellana Twin Moon Knight . Exiting Castle Ensis leads you to Scadu Altus and the Highroad Cross Site of Grace.

Start from the Highroad Cross Site of Grace and ride north until you find a fork in the road that takes you southeast. Now, turn south and ride all the way to the road's end to reach Fort of Reprimand and discover the Moorth Highway, South Site of Grace. Don't forget to activate the Moorth Ruins Site of Grace along the way.

Fort Of Reprimand — Courtyard

Heading southeast from the Moorth Highway, South Site of Grace, you'll enter the Fort of Reprimand and find yourself in the courtyard. There's an Omenkiller patrolling this courtyard, who can be challenging to defeat if you're underleveled. However, he doesn't drop anything important and the courtyard itself includes a few Smithing Stones, throwing daggers, crafting materials, and low-level upgrade items.

There is an underground drop to the northeast of the courtyard, which will be covered towards the end of the walkthrough as you circle back to this location.

Fort Of Reprimand — Basem*nt

Proceed southeast from the courtyard to enter the Fort's basem*nt where you'll find the Flamedrake Talisman +3. As you enter the basem*nt, continue heading east through the corridor and turn northeast to enter a torture room with a drop to your right. There isn't anything important below the torture room except for some enemies and a treasure chest containing a medium-level smithing stone.

Exiting the torture room, you'll find yourself at the northeastern end of the basem*nt where you'll confront three common soldiers. Once you've dealt with the soldiers, jump over the cages to the southeast and head along the linear path to reach the treasure chest containing the Flamedrake Talisman +3.

Fort Of Reprimand — First Floor

Exit the basem*nt using through northeastern archway to find a set of stairs that take you to the first floor of the fort. Once you've made it to the first floor, turn northwest to discover the Fort of Reprimand Site of Grace. Activate the Site of Grace before proceeding to explore the fort further.

From the grace, turn southeast and head along the ramparts to find a dining room with the dungeon's field boss, Black Knight Edredd . Defeating this enemy rewards you with the Ash of War: Aspect of the Crucible: Wings

After acquiring the Aspect of the Crucible: Wings, look for the ladder within the dining hall to access the fort's roof. Once you've made it to the roof, climb the tower to your southwest to discover a treasure chest containing the Battlefield Priest's Cookbook [2].

While you're on the tower, you can see another roof to the northeast of the fort, which can be accessed by executing a tricky parkour jump or via a spirit spring south of the Fort of Reprimand.

Nonetheless, if you'd like to access this northeastern roof via the parkour jump, make your way to the rampart outside the dining hall where the stairs go down to the basem*nt. Instead of taking the stairs, turn southeast and carefully jump onto the stone railing. You can now climb the ladder to your northeast to access the Smithing Stone chest. Once you're done with that, drop down and head southwest to discover the Behind the Fort of Reprimand Site of Grace.

If you'd like to take the spirit spring to reach Fort of Reprimand, you must journey southeast from the Castle Front Site of Grace and make your way through the ravine until you find the Sealed Spirit Spring. You can activate the Spirit Spring by looking for the corresponding stone cairn or simply using either Margott or Mohg's Shakle. Riding this Spirit Spring will take you to the northeastern roof of Fort of Reprimand and Behind the Fort of Reprimand Site of Grace.

Fort Of Reprimand — Underground Section

The Fort of Reprimand also includes an underground section, albeit smaller in scale than the basem*nt and first floor. You can enter this underground section by dropping into a hole located north within the courtyard.

The underground section features a linear design, but there's an Omenkiller around the corner that can catch you by surprise. In this section, you'll find a few Shadow Realm runes, Marika's Rune (grants 80,000 runes), a few crafting items, and the Iris of Occultation quest item.

Exiting the underground section takes you to the cliff edge where you can pick up the Messmer Soldier Ashes near the gravestones.

Finally, you can findAbductor Virgin Wheel & Swinging Sickle outside the eastern wall of Fort of Reprimand. Defeating them rewards you with a few Shadow Realm Runes. Once you've dealt with the Abductor Virgins, head to the southern end of the fort to pick up the Blessing of Marika consumable. This item is not reusable and consuming it fully restores your HP and heals all ailments.
