The Secret Rite Scroll is a DLC-only item, and it can be found on the fourth floor of the Shadow Keep, which has plenty of secrets.

From the Storehouse, Fourth Floor Site of Grace in the Shadow Keep, head out of the area and turn left, then go up the stairs. Keep an eye out for a staircase going down on your left, head down, and find the Secret Rite Scroll on a table.

If you examine the scroll, you’ll get the following description:

“A scroll made of white tree bark.

Few can decipher the scroll, which describes the secret rite of the divine gateway said to be found at the tower enshrouded by shadow.

“A lord will usher in a god’s return,
and the lord’s soul will require a vessel.””

How to Use the Secret Rite Scroll

If you’ve been following Ansbach’s questline, you can go back to him at the Specimen Storehouse at this point and give him the Secret Rite Scroll. He’ll be in the library in this area.

After giving him the Scroll, make sure to exhaust all of his dialogue to continue his questline. Do be warned if you’re also following Leda’s questline, you will eventually have to choose between Leda and Ansbach in a final confrontation towards the end of the game, and choosing to summon one of them will cause the other to die.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is available now.
