Elden Ringis filled to the brim with puzzles for players to solve, and one of them centers around a location known as Heretical Rise. This tower can be found just west of the large frozen lake in theMountaintops of the Giantsregion, and a seal will initially prevent players from entering it. To get past the seal at Heretical Rise, players must traverse something unseen, and this guide details exactly how that is done.
How to Solve the Heretical Rise Puzzle
“Falling Snow Marks Something Unseen”
The first step toward solving the Heretical Rise puzzle is to get to the other side of the ravine that is just north of the tower. After reaching this side, players should look for a small portion of bridge that extends over the ravine and toward Heretical Rise. For full clarity, the precise position of this bridge portion is marked on the map below, and the Freezing LakeSite of Graceis very near to it.

Once a player reaches the relevant bridge section, they should stand upon it and start walking in the direction of Heretical Rise. Indeed, there is an invisible pathway over the ravine in this position, though players cannot simply follow it straight into the tower. This is due to the fact that there is a break in the path as it draws near to the structure, at which point players will need to ascend an invisible ramp on their left that ultimately curves back toward the tower.
To locate this ramp, players should move slowly along the straight portion of the invisible path, usingsorceries,Rainbow Stone, or other projectiles to confirm that there is solid ground in front of them if they wish to. While doing this, players should keep their eyes on the left side, and they will see a faint white mist just before they are above a tall tree that is in the ravine below them. This mist marks the curving ramp, and fans should follow it into Heretical Rise.
If you have no projectiles or stones at your disposal, you can trace the invisible path by watching where the snow falls. It should leave a faint white cover across the whole length of the bridge.
Heretical Rise’s Legendary Reward
Upon entering Heretical Rise, players have to dispatch the enemy inside, climb the stairs to the east, and use the lift that they encounter. Fans should then ascend the spiral staircase on the exterior of the tower, taking care of the foe along the way, and loot the chest that is in the room at the top. This chest containsFounding Rain of Stars, alegendary sorcerythat releases a downpour of star rain.
