It's 1 of the more obvious setups we've seen in the FromSoftware games when it comes to Elden Band bosses (opens in new tab).

But how do you lot unlock the Siofra River boss? Well, it's a puzzle that'll see you explore the new region: You'll be lighting flame pillars, while trying to avoid getting smashed by behemothic crabs, and sniped by minotaur archers. Siofra River is a tough region, and I certainly don't recommend heading here right away.

That said, here'south what y'all demand to do to unlock the Ancestor Spirit boss and the Elden Ring flame pillar locations you'll need to find.

Elden Band Ancestor Spirit: All flame pillar locations

From the Siofra River Bank Site of Grace, you may have noticed that the temple with the stag within, the Hallowhorn Grounds, has eight unlit torches on the front end of it. In the middle of the river in front of it is a pillar with a pillar. Calorie-free this, and one of the torches on the temple steps will light up.

So, you're going to be searching throughout Siofra River for seven respective Elden Ring flame pillars to light. In the screenshot above, you can see all of the relevant locations marked with diamonds. The skull symbol marks a portal that will accept you to the north terminate of the map, bypassing the crabs and minotaur men between. Y'all can also meet Siofra River's three Sites of Grace, and the Hallowhorn Grounds Temple with the boss in the southeast.

The pillars all wait the aforementioned as the first, but about are guarded by more minotaur men and rats, so it's all-time to sneak around where you can. It'south also easiest to fight the minotaur men from horseback, though beware their charge attacks. The enemy you lot really demand to be aware of are the minotaur men archers, who have extremely long range, and whose arrows are basically undodgeable. These archers are especially troublesome in the northern cease of the map, so be sure to sneak, or move from cover to cover.

One time you've lit all eight flame pillars, you'll go a message, and yous can head back to the Hallowhorn Grounds to try the boss. Impact the stag, and you'll be transported to the boss loonshit. It's honestly ane of the most atmospheric bosses in the game, then bask.
