Elden Ring dungeon locations

Want to know where to find all of the Elden Ring dungeon locations? You may find that finding the Elden Ring dungeon locations is the easy bit. Fearsome enemies await inside to pounce on any unsuspecting adventurers who dare to enter, and some dungeons even have deadly traps to avoid an untimely demise from a poison dart or a gargoyle tower burning you to a crisp.

However, Elden Ring dungeons house some vitally important gear, from healing items and Elden Ring weapons to key items required to unlock new areas. We go over in far more detail elsewhere where all of the Elden Ring bosses are and how to find all of the well-hidden collectibles in every dungeon, such as the Elden Ring Ashes of War and the Elden Ring crystal talismans. For now, though, if you simply want to find all 53 optional Elden Ring dungeons in the open-world game, you can find a list of their locations below listed by region.
