How to get to the Roundtable Hold in Elden Ring

Melina will invite you to the Roundtable Hold ifeitherof the following conditions are met:

The moment you achieve one or the other of these conditions, Melina will appear to you and invite you to the Roundtable Hold. Note that you don’t need to beat Margit in order to fulfil the second criterion; you only need to face him once, and then rest at any Limgrave Site Of Grace.

If you want to reach the Roundtable Hold as quickly as possible, you need to either beeline straight to Margit at the entrance toStormveil Castle; or you need to make your way to the Lake-Facing Cliffs Site Of Grace at the start ofLiurniaor the Smoldering Church Site Of Grace in Caelid. Here are all three paths marked on the map for your benefit:

One interesting secret of Elden Ring is that the Roundtable Hold, despite its extra-planar nature, is based upon a physical area deep in Leyndell, the Royal Capital. This area is called the Fortified Manor, which is located here on the map:
