Where to find the Impaler Catacombs in Elden Ring
It is most convenient to start the path from a place of grace Morne castle bastionwhich is located in the eastern part of the weeping peninsula. From there, you need to move to the northeast through a small forest.
As soon as you get to the cliff, turn right, where you will see a convenient descent down.

How to get through the Catacombs of the Impaler in Elden Ring
Go down the stairs and be on the lookout so that a couple of nimble imps do not take the hero by surprise. The first lies in wait right at the entrance to the hall, and the second (the one that throws knives) hid at the end of the second flight of stairs. With their attacks, they will try to throw the Extinguished One into the abyss to the left of the stairs - do not let them do this. Don't forget to pick grave violet on the platform after the first span.
This path leads to a closed gate, behind which the local boss is hiding - Cerberus of the Cemetery of the Tree of Erd. They are still closed, so turn into the tunnel on the left and get ready to fight with three more imps.
You can follow an alternative strategy: to lure each of the demons separately so that they cannot act together.
If you go to the end of the corridor and turn left, you can get to a dead end, where a lone demon lurks in ambush on the right, and replenish your inventory blacksmith stone и grave lily of the valley.
Return along the same route and turn right to get into the hall with cunning trap: One has only to step on a stone platform, as it rises directly to the ceiling studded with spikes.
At this stage, you can take grave violet in a small niche on the left.
From this point, you can only return to the original corridor, but it is very important to guess the moment of descent. Do not wait until the platform returns to its original position, because in this case the hero will not have time to slip into the rescue passage and will receive damage from the spikes. Jump onto the platform just as it's already going down, and quickly roll over to the stairs.
In order not to become a victim of a deadly attraction, take a few steps on the platform and immediately return to the starting point. This will open a path down from where you need to follow to the right. Search the small hall to find grave violet on its left side and ghostly lily of the valley before exiting the hallway.
Ahead is a flooded hall, which is full of slow, but extremely annoying dead. Killing them is useless as they respawn almost instantly.
These opponents do not pose a particular threat, however, if they manage to surround the hero and “hug” him, this will lead to sad consequences. That's why don't let them get close and make sure that there is no one behind the Extinguished One - these dead people love to rise from the water in the most unexpected places.
It is recommended to collect all the items in the location as quickly as possible and run to the rescue ladder. First of all, it is better to take from the corpse Talking head "Help"which is marked in the screenshot.
After that, turn right and move towards the exit, collecting grave lilies of the valley. One of them lies by the column to the right of the entrance, and the second is located near the raised grate.
Also look at the dead end on the left, where lies resin from the root. After that, move to the right, fighting off the pursuing undead.
Keep in mind that the resin is guarded immediately four dead menthat quickly rise out of the water. It is better to go around them on the left so as not to get involved in a dangerous battle.
It remains only to climb the stairs, making a small detour to pick up another one along the way. grave lily of the valleygrowing at the column on the right.
How to open the entrance to the boss Cerberus of the Cemetery of the Tree of Erd
The stairs lead straight to a room with a statue and a lever that opens a previously sealed door to the arena with the local boss. Click on it and move forward along the corridor.
Be careful: another imp lurks around the corner, which can take a good quarter of your health with its sudden attack.
Take away grave lily of the valley and jump out the window to return to the hall located at the very beginning Catacomb of the Impaler.
Pass through the gate if you're ready to fight Cerberus of the Cemetery Tree of Erd. This is not the most pleasant boss, but with proper dexterity, you can quickly deal with him if you read the detailed guide on killing him.
The reward for defeating him will be Ashes of demihumans and 2400 runes.
