Want to get to Volcano Manor in Elden Ring?Volcano Manor resides deep in the heart of Mount Gelmir, directly north ofLiurniaon the massiveElden Ringmap. And considering it’s… y’know… rightthereon the map, it’s amazingly tricky to figure out how to get to the Manor itself.
As it turns out, there is a grand total of four (yes, four) methods of getting to Volcano Manor in Elden Ring. Two of them are faster methods which involve teleporting yourself (or rather, having others teleport you) directly to Mount Gelmir; and the other two are more straightforward paths from the neighbouring Altus Plateau. Whichever path you choose, we’ll go over everything you need to know to get to Volcano Manor in this guide.

How to get to Volcano Manor in Elden Ring
There are four paths that will lead you to Volcano Manor in Elden Ring:
You can also progressRya’s questlinefor a shortcut to Volcano Manor. Rya can first be found in Liurnia, but will then move to the Altus Plateau. Upon completing every part of her quest and speaking to her at Altus Plateau, she will offer to teleport you directly into Volcano Manor.
However, the most straightforward methods are simplywalking from the Altus Plateaudirectly through Mount Gelmir and into Volcano Manor. There are two paths that you can take: the longer and more scenic route around Mount Gelmir; and the far quicker ladder shortcut to theFull-Grown Fallingstar Beastarena.
Let’s cover each of the four paths to Volcano Manor in greater detail below.
Path 1: Abductor Virgin shortcut

The earliest method of travelling to Volcano Manor involves entering the Academy Of Raya Lucaria in the centre of Liurnia. Near the Schoolhouse ClassroomSite Of Gracein the Academy is a set of gigantic water wheels which you can ride like an elevator. Instead of jumping off at the top, let yourself be carried all the way over and down as far as you can go.
You’ll eventually be dropped down into a small area where an Abductor Virgin is waiting. This Abductor Virgin will often go for its grab attack where it pulls you inside its body and closes the door, dealing damage over time.

Navigate the magma river and follow the path to the Subterranean Inquisition Chamber Site Of Grace. Rest there, and then jump across to the other side of the magma lake and follow the path down a drop and towards a fog door, behind which are two Abductor Virgins.
These Abductor Virgins are strong, particularly together, so it may be a very tough fight for a player at Liurnia scaling. However, once you beat the Abductor Virgins you can exit out into the upper area of Altus Plateau which usually would require players to circumnavigate Mount Gelmir to reach.
From here, you can continue alongPath 4in order to reach the entrance to Volcano Manor far earlier than using any other method.
Path 2: Progress Rya’s quest

Return to Rya and give her the necklace, and she will give you a Volcano Manor Invitation. Annoyingly however, she wants you toreach the Altus Plateaubefore she will teleport you into Volcano Manor. Once you get to Altus Plateau, you can find Rya waiting at one of these two locations depending on the path you took:

Path 3: Via the Campsite ladders
This is our recommended path if you want to reach Volcano Manor on foot. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Bandai Namco
If you want a more organic path to Volcano Manor, we recommend taking the ladders up to the Full-Grown Fallingstar Beast arena early on in Mount Gelmir. From the north of Altus Plateau (where the Windmill Village resides), follow the path west until you reach the Bridge Of Iniquity Site Of Grace.
The first ladder is easy to miss, but you can find it on the left-hand side of the second campsite. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Bandai Namco
Ahead of you there are two campsites with Abductor Virgins. You don’t need to fight them - just hug the left-hand cliff wall and run to the ladder on the wall in the second campsite. Climb it all the way up, and rest at the First Mt. Gelmir Campsite Site Of Grace on your left. Then kill (or run past) the soldiers resting near the tower ahead, and use the rock bridge leading away from the tower.
At the top is a Grafted Scion who you can fight or run past. Go up the ladder on the back wall just past the Scion, and then climb up any of the ladders you see, up and up until you reach an area with madness-spewing soldiers and knights. Head across the wooden bridge to the west, and rest at the Ninth Mt. Gelmir Campsite Site Of Grace.
The Full-Grown Fallingstar Beast is very tough. For now, feel free to run past it on your way to Volcano Manor. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Bandai Namco
Directly above you is a large boss arena where the extremely challenging Full-Grown Fallingstar Beast boss resides. You can either take the ladder up or jump up with Torrent using the Spiritspring. We recommend the latter, because it keeps you moving quickly. You don’t actually need to fight the Fallingstar Beast now; just run over to the rocky outcrop on the west side, and jump down from there onto the platform below.
The front entrance to Volcano Manor is clearly visible on your left, so make your way down there, dispatching any enemies along the way, until you reach the double doors. Push open the doors to enter Volcano Manor.
Path 4: Around Mount Gelmir
This is the longest path to Volcano Manor, but it also takes you through most of Mount Gelmir along the way. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Bandai Namco
The longest and slowest path to Volcano Manor takes you all the way around Mount Gelmir. Starting at the Erdtree-Gazing Hill Site Of Grace in Altus Plateau, head up the slope to the north and turn left to cut through the Wyndham Ruins. From here, you can drop down into Seethewater River.
Be careful of the Magma Wyrm that emerges from the lake beside Fort Laiedd. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Bandai Namco
From here, go up the stone slope and drop down next to Gelmir Hero’s Grave. Head straight on past the wolves and turn left at the tower to cross another stone slope.
From the Prime Sorcerer Azul Site Of Grace, go up the rocky slope and follow the path, turning left at the tower. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Bandai Namco
