Elden Ring is a remarkable soul-like RPG that was released more than 2 years ago but is still played by many gamers out there. Recently, a DLC called Shadow of the Erdtree was released and it adds a lot of new stuff for players to experience.

One of the new additions is a location called Stone Coffin Fissure. To get there, you first need to break a rune. This guide will show you the location of the rune. And also the path you need to take to reach Stone Coffin Fissure.

How to get to the Stone Coffin Fissure

First thing you need to do is break the rune. To do so, make your way to the gates of Shadow Keep. The location is marked in the image below.

You just need to get close to the gates and that is it. The rune will automatically break once you do that. You will receive a message at the bottom of your screen saying “Somewhere, a great rune has broken…” as you can see in the image below.
