How to find all the paintings in Elden Ring and what they give

 We tell you how to find all 7 paintings, find the places where they were written from, and get all the rewards

Elden Ring has a lot of content. This is especially pronounced in the number of selected items, their wide variety. It is far from always clear how and where to use this or that consumable, why this or that item is needed. This guide is dedicated to all the paintings you can find in Elden Ring. FromSoftware wouldn't be FromSoftware if it didn't add some mysterious puzzles to the game, the solution to which is not as obvious as in other titles in the industry. There are many secrets in the Interearth, and now we will reveal some of them!

Paintings can be found in different areas of Interearth. There are 7 paintings in total. It would seem that they are ordinary collectibles, but in fact each of them points to one or another location where you can find good loot. With these paintings, by correctly interpreting the visual cues, you can track down the artists who painted them and earn a reward. In this guide, we tell you how to find all the paintings and each artist.

As you explore the Eastern Graveyard, you'll likely stumble upon a shaper's hut. Inside this ruined house, there is a painting called "Homecoming". When examining this painting in your inventory, you can see a description that says the following: if you go to the place in the painting, you can find a reward.

And now attention! To unravel the secret of each picture, you need to go not to the place that is depicted in the picture, but to where this picture was painted from. So, for example, the painting "Homecoming" was painted near the place of grace "Coastal Ruins", east of the Lost Cemetery, if you go along the coast. If you go there, you will find a ghostly artist sitting near several graves and an archway. Get a little closer and he will disappear, and you will receive a reward for your efforts.

Pick up the painting and examine it in inventory. Go to the place of grace "Burned Ruins" and move southwest to find the right place. Under the right angle, you will get the same as in the picture. Not far from the cliff there is a stone on which bats have settled. Here you will also find a chair on which a golden ghost sits, admiring the landscapes, fingers of both hands folded into a frame. Get close so that instead of a ghost, a reward appears - the Scarab of Prayers helmet.

Go to the Weeping Peninsula and look for the place of grace "Temple of Pilgrimage". The point you need is nearby! Go to the cliff to the north of this place, in the direction of the Graveyard.

• Where to find the painting: Sellia, under the stairs (Starry Wasteland).
• Where to go according to the clue from the picture: Dragon Mound Cave (Starry Wasteland).
• Reward: Ashes of the "Shower of Arrows" war.

The picture of the "Red Mane" is a much more complex puzzle. You will have to fight against sorcerers and overcome some obstacles using jumps. To get started, head to the place of grace under Sellia's stairs in the Starry Wasteland. Climb up the stairs, turn right, and then take a sharp left to find a "Red Mane" painting located under a partially collapsed archway, next to which several enemies are digging in the ground.

Now you need to go to the east of the Starry Waste to collect your reward and show off all your parkour skills. Start at the place of grace "Dragon Mound Fork" and travel east to the small tree Erdtry (see on the map). Take the upper road east to a pile of broken pots and look at the rock to the south.

The path down starts from a large tree root. If you're playing online, you'll probably see messages on the ground from other gamers recommending you try jumping. This time, heed the message. Try to jump, but not far. If you have a skill/item that allows you to reduce fall damage, now is the time to use it. Carefully descend from the roots of the trees to the columns and arches until you find the ground below. There will also be a ghostly artist admiring from the rocks the broken arches that you saw in the picture. Move closer, the artist will disappear, and in his place will be the ashes of the Rain of Arrows war.

You must climb its right wall if you move through the gorge, or go to the wall from the place of grace "The Bastions of the Shadow Castle" and run to a dead end, near which you can meet the perfumer. On the left side of the wall, there is a roof, under which the picture is hidden. Now you need to find the place where this picture was drawn from.

You need to climb the mountain, which is located above the place of grace "The path from the side of the bastion". This is a cliff located on the same side as the "Tomb of the Hero-Saint". At the very edge, you will find a chair on which a golden ghost sits, admiring the scenery through a frame created from the fingers of both hands. Get closer, the ghost will disappear, and you will receive a bow harp as a reward.

You are interested in the place of grace "Windmill Heights". Opposite it will be the desired point.

• Where to go according to the hint from the picture: Elevation at the ruins of the snowy valley (Top of the giants).
• Reward: Great Hood.

The painting "Sorcerer" is located in the castle of Sol. Get to the main gate of the castle (where there is a place of grace of the same name), which is located in the northeastern part of the Giant's Peak. Head from the place of grace to the castle. Your task is to get into the central tower a little to the left as you move towards the walls. Go left through some barricades with spikes, go up the short stairs and look on the left wall for a door with two torches. After climbing the stairs in the room, follow the wooden paths counterclockwise to reach the top of the tower, which was spotted when you entered. Go inside and go up the stairs to the roof to find a painting.

Then, travel to the Snow Valley Ruins Rise and head west from the grace site, looking towards the east side of the bridge over the frozen river. When the ghost disappears, you can collect the "Great Hood".
