“Could this be a dog?,” or “But, hole,” are common messages that you can come across as you explore the Lands Between. When it comes to this feature, the actual content of a message is only half the fun. You also have to consider where to leave them. Fortunately, Elden Ring is brimming withprime real estatewhen it comes to leaving your written mark on the world.
8Church Of Vows
The Church of Vows once housed the marriage between Radagon and Rennala, but now it is home to Miriel,the turtle pope. The church is in eastern Liurnia, and its central location makes it hard to miss. Miriel himself is what makes the location such a popular place to leave a message. The church gets plenty of visitors from those who seek his incantations and sorceries.
You will likely see a few messages already on the ground, paying their respects to the kind turtle. With so many people making the journey to see Elden Ring’s best ‘dog,’ you will have no trouble getting an audience for your message.
7First Site Of Grace
The First Step Site of Grace will be your first checkpoint as you step into the Lands Between. It overlooks much of Limgrave, and you can even see Stormveil Castle in the background. Since it’s a natural gathering point for new players, you will get plenty of people flowing through the area.

Remember that whatever message you leave will likely be the first thing players read when they get off the elevator. Feel free to leave helpful tips or insightful thoughts for your fellow Tarnished, or you could just comment about their lack of maidens.
6Chapel Of Anticipation
Deceptive messages are all part of the fun in FromSoftware games, and Elden Ring is no different. The Chapel Of Anticipation is the first area you will find yourself in when starting a new character. It is surrounded by a large chasm, so the risk of stepping off the edge can be precarious. Fortunately, you may always leave a message to warn fellow players, right?
No thanks, because that would spoil the fun. Instead, you will find plenty of messages encouraging players to seek out the ‘secret area’ that hides off the edge of the chapel’s cliff. If you want to have some fun with susceptible new players, then this is the perfect location.
5Dragon-Burnt Ruins
The decrepit Dragon-Burnt Ruins are full of hostile commoners, who would love to take a stab at you. However, this isn’t what makes this location a great spot for messages. If you venture just a little farther into the swamp, you will realize how these ruins got their name. It’s one of many surprises that Elden Ring has waiting for you, and plopping down a fun message will allow you to share the moment with others.
The flying friendwho lives in the nearby lake is also one of the few of his kind in the game. That makes this location receive a healthy amount of traffic, and will give you plenty of opportunities to receive message appraisals.
4Castle Redmane Church
General Radahnis one of the major bosses in the game, but he is also known for being frustratingly difficult for the woefully unprepared. to reach him, you need to fight your way through Redmane Castle and make your way through an old church. This church stands between the nearest Site of Grace and the portal required to access the boss fight.

Since you will likely be making repeat visits, you should commemorate your battle with a message. Vent your frustrations, joke about the difficulty, or just accept your fate. It’s not like Radahn will be reading your message, so feel free to let loose.
3Ranni’s Chamber
Ranni the Witch isan important NPCin the game, whose questline also leads to one of Elden Ring’s six endings. She has become a popular character amongst the community for her cold affection, powerful rewards, and importance to the story. If youfinish her questline, one of the boons you unlock is the ability to travel to a Site of Grace in her room.
You will find manyRannienthusiasts leaving varying levels of poetry for the mysterious witch. If you feel so inclined, you too can join in the praise. At the very least, going to her chambers will allow you to read a bunch of funny messages.
2Raya Lucaria Grand Library
The Raya Lucaria Grand Librarycan only be accessedafter defeating Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon. Why would you want to revisit this unsettling sorceress? Because she is the only way to effectively re-arrange your character stats. This means that plenty of players will be going in and out of her library, hoping to optimize the character of their dreams.
This also makes the library a great area for dropping a message. Talk about your new friend, or sympathize with her, considering thatQueen Marikaseemingly stole her husband.
1Margit’s Boss Bridge
Margit the Fell Omen is likely to be thefirst major hurdleyou face in Elden Ring. The previously encountered armored knights and vicious animals may be challenging, but they don’t hold a candle to Margit’s deceptive attack patterns. Defeating him will be your first milestone in a longand challenging game. This makes his boss zone a fitting place for a commemorative message.
It also gives you a sense of nostalgia to return to his bridge after beating the game. It was probably hard to imagine that Margit was just a tiny taste of what was to come.
