How to get to the Church of Dragon Communion in Elden Ring
The Church of Dragon Communion is located in Limgrave, the first open area you emerge into after completing Elden Ring’s tutorial section. Getting there is relatively straightforward, although to describe it as “easy” would be pushing it slightly.
If you head left away from the starting area you’ll find yourself atop some cliffs overlooking the sea. In the distance ahead, you’ll spy an island a little way off shore. That island is where the Church of Dragon Communion is located.

The beach is a long way down and, like most things, the fall will kill you, so you’re going to have to make the trek the long way: following the path north-west in the complete opposite direction from your eventual destination, until you find a more gentle gradient you can scramble down to get to the sandy coast.
The actual way to gain access to the island is to enter the cave that’s just helpfully popped up on the map. The opening can be a little tricky to find, but poke around the cliffs directly opposite the nearest tip of the island and you should be able to find your way in.

This is the Coastal Cave, one of the earliest cave-type dungeons you can find in Elden Ring. This is why you needed that torch so badly. Make your way through the Coastal Cave and defeat a pair of Demi-Human Chiefs and their numerous minions to clear the path to your destination. Follow the tunnel at the far end of the dungeon’s boss arena and you’ll emerge onto a surprisingly picturesque island which is home to the Church of Dragon Communion. The ruined church is the only structure on the island and so not hard to spot, but the place as a whole is a nice little area to walk around while enjoying the fact that, for once, nothing’s trying to kill you.

There, you will discover the Cathedral of Dragon Communion.
Unfortunately, the Cathedral of Dragon Communion is much more dangerous than the Church.Inside, you will find aBanishedKnight who guards the altar. This is a tough enemy that you must fight if you want to use the Cathedral of Dragon Communion peacefully. They respawn each time you rest, so always come prepared for this fight.
After defeating the Banished Knight, head over to the altar to learn powerful draconic incantations, such asRotten BreathandDragonice. As you defeat dragons across the Lands Between, you will also unlock new powers that are specific to the dragon, such asBorealis’s MistorAgheel’s Flame.
