What‘s after Stormveil Castle?

As a veteran Tarnished navigating the Lands Between, defeating Godrick the Grafted and conquering the legacy dungeon of Stormveil Castle fills you with a sense of accomplishment. But what comes next on your perilous road towards claiming a Great Rune and becoming Elden Lord? Let‘s explore some of the most exciting and rewarding options for progression after Stormveil in 2023!

Venture North to Majestic Liurnia

Without question, the obvious path forward for most players immediately after Godrick will be northward into the sprawling lake region of Liurnia. Transitioning out of the earthy tones of Limgrave and the imposing stone walls of Stormveil into Liurnia‘s bright blue vistas dotted with Minor Erdtrees creates an instantly cathartic feeling after triumphing over Stormveil‘s oppressive halls.

According to Fextralife, recommended levels for exploring Liurnia range from 40-60+, making it an ideal next step in terms of challenge. And the variety of enemies, dungeons and sites of grace on offer ensure you‘ll steadily accumulate runes and gear. Highlights include:

  • Raya Lucaria Academy Legacy Dungeon – A sprawling school for glintstone sorcerers filled with deadly spells and unique bosses
  • Caria Manor – Advances the intriguing Ranni the Witch questline with unique spirit bell rewards
  • Minor Erdtree Avatar bosses guarding golden seeds for more flask charges
  • Tons of mini-dungeons and overworld bosses to find your footing

Analyzing the Best Route Through Liurnia

While open exploration is always encouraged in Elden Ring, here is an efficient route I‘d recommend based on community feedback for seeing the best Liurnia has to offer after Stormveil:
