The terrain transformation system in Elden Ring’s DLC introduces dynamic environmental overhauls within Limveld. Four distinct seismic phenomena exist, each modifying regions dramatically while providing demanding encounters and rare loot.

Activating terrain transformations

These landscape changes trigger after overcoming major adversaries in the expansion. Conquering designated guardians activates corresponding transformations temporarily, persisting until completion or multiple dungeon attempts. Subsequent occurrences become unpredictable.

Complete these challenges to initiate terrain shifts:

• Tricephalos: Crater
• Augur: Mountaintop
• Darkdrift Knight: Noklateo, the Shrouded City
• Fissure in the Fog: Rotted Woods

Deactivating environmental shifts

To reset the landscape, interact with resting areas in eastern chambers. Selecting temporal advancement clears active transformations, restoring Limveld’s original state. This option appears near outfit customization spaces.

Multiplayer limitations exist during events – allies without prerequisite progress can’t join unless invited. While temporary participation is possible, companions must complete their own prerequisites for permanent access.

Environmental shifts present high-risk scenarios with exceptional rewards for successful navigation. Consult expansion guides for deeper system insights.
