If you succeed in defeating him, you can proceed to the first Site of Grace in the capital, the Capital Wall. Now you can enter the city.
Note: This is only possible if you have already acquired two Great Runes. You get these from the major main bosses in Elden Ring.
Thus, you need to defeat, for example, the boss in Stormveil Castle and the Academy of Raya Lucaria, both of which are on the way to the capital.

Follow the city wall until you reach the northeastern end. Here awaits the next challenge.
The “easiest” access is guarded by an intermediate boss
If you follow the path, you will come to the northeastern gate through which you can enter the capital. However, a tough opponent awaits there: The Dragon Tree Guardian.
Yes, this is a harder version of the Tree Guardian who beats you up right at the start of the game if you are not careful. The fight is very similar, but the Dragon Tree Guardian has learned some tricks.

Leyndell, the Royal Capital, is one of the 6 major Legacy Dungeons of Elden Ring. Sooner or later, you will have to go there during the main story. MeinMMO explains how to get to the city and what you need to consider.
Where is Leyndell located? The Royal Capital is located directly beneath the towering Erd tree, in the center of the map.
It is an important part of the main story of Elden Ring, and if you follow the “regular” gameplay, you will most likely enter it for the first time after defeating some main bosses.
However, if you want to get there earlier, there are some things to keep in mind. First, here is a description of the best way to get there.
Note: We will only mention the absolute essentials to initially access the Legacy Dungeon. However, there are indeed various ways. We will focus here on the simplest one.
Entering Leyndell, the Royal Capital
Leyndell is located on the Altus Plateau, in the northern Interland. Here you can initially see the city on the map:
But how do you even get there?
- First, you need to cross the two areas of Limgrave and the Lake Land of Liurnia.
- Stay on the lake and ride north until you reach a gorge.
- Enter the gorge and at its end you should find a lift.
- You will have to fight your way up through some bats and dangerous vampire sirens.
- At the end, a dangerous Magma Wyrm awaits you as a boss. You will already know this one if you have managed to get the powerful Moonveil Katana.
Once you reach the top, you can simply orient yourself towards the capital using the map. Along the way, you will encounter a giant dragon boss that will flee if you deal enough damage to it. However, you can also completely ignore it and ride past.
However, the main gate to the city is firmly locked, so you need to find another entrance.
Thus, you need to defeat, for example, the boss in Stormveil Castle and the Academy of Raya Lucaria, both of which are on the way to the capital.
