How to reach the Finger Ruins of Rhia in Elden Ring (Jagged Peaks Shortcut)

While the main route people see to take to get to Finger Ruins of Rhia is through the Cerulean Coast, this can be a very long route, depending on where you are starting from. If you have already arrived at the Jagged Peaks after the Dragon’s Pit, there is a much quicker way to get there.

Make your way to the Grand Altar of Dragon Communion. To get there, you may need to complete the Dragon’s Pit dungeon, then head out into the Jagged Peaks and turn south, where you find the huge drake. Make your way through the ravine, and you will come to the Grand Altar. Keep heading south past the body of the dragon, then drop down into the red flowers at the end. This will bring you to Charo’s Hidden Grave, but we are just passing through.

Keep heading south until you reach a huge drop, then make your way along the cliff until you come to a huge stone coffin with a statue on it. You can drop down here, which will now bring you to the Cerulean Coast, then make your way down to the beach. Keep the sea on your right, and just keep going until you get to a new coffin. Ride up that, jump off to the right, and you are now at the Finger Ruins of Rhia.

Make your way down into the area, which is filled with giant, upturned fingers. You’ll find a strange construct in the center, one finger hanging like an odd totem. As long as you have the Hole-Laden Necklace from Ymir, you will be able to interact with it to get the Crimson Seed Talisman +1.

This area is quite dangerous, filled with a bunch of scuttling hand enemies and bugs that cast lots of ranged magic. It is quite easy to get killed on your way there if you don’t take it slowly and deal with any enemies you meet.
