There are many mysteries and secrets in Elden Ring, as well as many interesting locations. One of the places of interest is the Round Table Fortress. Since you have to explore the open world, the area can be easily skipped. In this guide, we will tell you how to get to the Round Table Fortress, what merchants and activities are there, and how to leave this location.
How to get to the Round Table Keep in Elden Ring
To get to this location, while in the Graveyard, you need to get to the place of grace “Near the Gates” and interact with it. At this moment, a girl will appear who will offer to take her with her. Be sure to agree to do this, after which the gate leading to the fortress will open, and you can continue on your way.
Just outside the Storm Gate, you will encounter a group of crossbowmen and a mini-boss. Fight them and follow the path. At the entrance to the fortress, you will come across a ballista with explosive shells. We recommend going around the enemies on the left side and taking out the warrior at the ballista, as the cannon can kill your hero with a single hit.
After that, you will have to face a full-fledged boss that guards the entrance to the castle. If you don’t have enough health to kill him, try to come back here later.
The main gates of the castle are locked. Enter the room to the left of the entrance and talk to Gatekeeper Gostok. He will offer to enter the fortress through a gap in the wall. You can also buy rune fragments, potions, pickled bird paws, weapons, and armor from this hero.
Walk along the ledge on the right, fight the flying monster and climb up the wooden platforms to the top. Here you will meet three enemies. If you get close to the first in stealth, then he will not have time to raise the alarm and call on the others.
As a swordsman, get ready to block the attacks of the monsters that are in the tower. In addition, enemies will start throwing exploding projectiles at your hero. On the second floor, you will find a locked door. Climb up to the floor above and find the only room here. Once inside, you will be attacked by a Gotrik soldier. Kill him, look around the room and find the rusty key in the chest.
Go down to the floor below, open the locked door with the found key and go up the stairs. On the right, you can kill several monsters and find a passage to the tower. If you look around this place, you will find a stone hammer. When you’re ready, go back and up the stairs to the top. Find a room with an elevator, go up to the second floor. In the room on the left, interact with the place of grace.
At that moment, the girl will appear again. Let her touch you to teleport to the Round Table Fortress.

All activities in the Round Table Fortress
The Round Table Keep is a safe place, so weapons cannot be used here. First of all, talk to the knight at the entrance to the balcony. He will ask you to find a woman named Lania. So you will receive a new assignment to search for the missing girl.
If you explore the right side of the fortress, you will find a room with Fia, Companion of the Dead. If you talk to her, she will offer to hug your hero. After that, you will receive a small temporary bonus. From now on, you can return to Fiya and activate a free bonus for your character at any convenient time.
Another activity in the fortress is the battle with the spirit in the main hall. To do this, go to the balcony and jump down. Approach the gate and interact with it to summon the spirit. Defeat him and use the teleport back to the round table.
When you do this, the door on the left side of the fortress will open and you can talk to the officer. He will give you an extra task.
How to leave the Round Table Fortress
Leaving the fortress is much easier than entering it. To do this, simply open the map (key G on PC) and select any place of grace. Use fast travel to the desired area. Remember that the Lost Grace table in the Round Table Keep is used as a place of grace, so you can teleport to this location at any convenient time.
