Discover the Groveside Cave in Elden Ring! Learn where to find it in Limgrave, defeat its wolf den and optional boss, and claim the Flamedrake Talisman.
Alright, Tarnished! Let's talk about the Groveside Cave in Limgrave. It's a pretty straightforward optional dungeon, perfect for grabbing some early-game goodies. Think of it as a mini-tutorial for clearing out caves.
Where to Find It:
You'll find the entrance to the Groveside Cave nestled in the cliffs just north of the Church of Elleh. Look for it north of a lake – there's even a brazier right in front, making it kinda hard to miss. Once you're in, you'll immediately spot the Groveside Cave Site of Grace. Definitely rest up there; it makes this whole cave a lot less risky.
Clearing the Wolf Den:
After you've had your moment of respite, head down the passageway. You'll enter a chamber that's basically a wolf den. Be ready, because the wolves inside are not happy about you crashing their party. You'll see a few regular Wolves and an Alpha Wolf. Now, you might think you have the high ground, but don't get too comfortable. These canines are surprisingly agile and can use a ramp to your north to jump up and reach you. So, take out the initial attackers, but keep an eye out for more wolves lurking to the west and north.
Once you've dealt with all the wolves, it's time to do some looting. In their den, you can find a Glowstone, a Golden Rune (1), some Silver Fireflies, and importantly, a Cracked Pot. These Cracked Pots are super useful for crafting all sorts of throwable items later on.
Boss Fight: Beastman of Farum Azula
With the wolf den cleared, make your way further north through another passage. You'll soon come across that classic fog wall – the sign of a boss fight! This time, it's the Beastman of Farum Azula. Don't sweat it too much; this is an optional boss and generally considered pretty manageable, especially if you're a bit leveled up. You can even use your Spirit Ashes to help you out. The fight takes place in a decent-sized chamber, and he doesn't have any adds to worry about. Your reward for taking him down? The awesome Flamedrake Talisman, which will boost your fire damage negation. Pretty sweet deal for a cave this size!
Quick Loot Summary:
- Flamedrake Talisman: Dropped by the Beastman of Farum Azula (optional boss).
- Cracked Pot: Found by looting a corpse in the wolf den.
