1. Enir-Ilim Location and Entry Requirements

Enir-Ilim is the final legacy dungeon in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. It is found to the northwest of Belurat but only becomes accessible after defeating Romina, Saint of the Bud, and completing certain quest steps.

Entry Requirement Summary

Defeat Messmer the Impaler in the Shadow Keep.

Burn the Sealing Tree using Messmer's Kindling, which you'll obtain after defeating him.

Defeat Romina, Saint of the Bud at the Church of the Bud within the Rauh Ruins to access the Sealing Tree.

2. Burn the Sealing Tree to Unlock Enir-Ilim

After defeating Romina, go behind her arena to find the Sealing Tree. Interact with the tree and use Messmer's Kindling to burn it. A cutscene will play, and you'll be transported to Enir-Ilim.

3. Key Sites of Grace and Pathways

Starting Area: When you first arrive in Enir-Ilim, you'll be at the Enir-Ilim: Outer Wall Site of Grace.

First Rise Site of Grace:

Head up the stairs and around to the right.

Fight through Divine Bird Warriors and take the stairs to find this site of grace.

Spiral Rise Site of Grace:

From the First Rise, follow the path west and up the next set of stairs.

Jump across rooftops, take out shamans, and grab a Scadutree Fragment inside the next tower.

Push forward and find the Spiral Rise Site of Grace inside the tower along with Miquella's Cross.

Cleansing Chamber Anteroom Site of Grace:

Continue climbing spiral stairs and rooftops. Defeat Gravebirds along the way.

Find the Cleansing Chamber Anteroom Site of Grace in a hidden room guarded by shamans.

4. Needle Knight Leda Boss Fight

The arena for the Needle Knight Leda fight is located to the east of the Cleansing Chamber Anteroom. Follow these steps to prepare for the battle:

Summon Allies:

Before engaging Leda, look behind you to find summon signs for Thiollier and Pureblood Knight Ansbach. Summoning them will also progress their respective questlines.

Boss Tactics:

Leda is a fast-moving boss with needle-like weapons that deal bleed damage.

Use evasive maneuvers and time your summons well to avoid getting overwhelmed by her followers.

After defeating her, loot the arena for her armor set and weapon.

Ansbach Encounter:

After the fight, proceed up the stairs to meet Ansbach. Exhaust his dialogue to progress to the final phase of his questline.

5. Final Boss Fight: Promised Consort Radahn

The final encounter of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is against Promised Consort Radahn, a formidable foe waiting at the Gate of Divinity.

Boss Strategy

Summon Ansbach and Allies: You'll have the option to summon allies again, including Ansbach, which is highly recommended for this battle.

Radahn's Mechanics:

Radahn has devastating AoE attacks and several phases where he transitions between melee and magic-based attacks.

Utilize cover when possible and wait for openings to deal burst damage during phase changes.

Summary

Enir-Ilim offers a challenging endgame experience with tough enemies and intricate pathways. Along with the Needle Knight Leda fight, it serves as the final lead-up to the ultimate encounter with Promised Consort Radahn. Make sure to summon allies and manage resources carefully throughout the dungeon to emerge victorious!
