When it comes to open-world exploration, few games do it better than Elden Ring. With your trusty spectral steed by your side, there is always something to look forward to as you travel the land, and in the case of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, engage in more vertical travel than ever before. There are a number of ways to traverse the world, but one of the most important ones is the use of Spiritsprings.

What are Sealed Spiritsprings in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree?

When it comes to jumping great heights or falling from them, in Elden Ring, the spiritsprings are the safest way to do so in the game. These instantly recognizable swirls of wind that emanate from the ground are not exactly hard to spot, and when you see one in the area, chances are, there are secrets or an alternate path waiting to be found at the top.

However, in the Shadow Realm, there is a possibility that the spiritspring you want to use is sealed, making it impossible to get the height boost. The telltale sign is a bunch of rocks arranged neatly in the center of the spiritspring.

A quick swipe with your weapon of choice will remove the obstacle, enabling the spiritspring to be used again.
