Elden Ring offers a variety of tools that can make your quest through this massive world a little easier. You can also craft items that target enemy weaknesses, and even summon Spirit Ashes to help you in more challenging battles.
Like weapons, Spirit Ashes need to be upgraded to become more powerful. So what do you need to upgrade Spirit Ashes? Grave Gloveworts. Grave Gloveworts are hidden in various places throughout the map, especially in caves and dungeons.
But if you want to upgrade your favorite summons, you need Great Grave Gloveworts. Unlike the former, this is a limited resource, with 5 in the base game and 6 in the DLC. This guide will detail the locations of the 6 Great Grave Gloveworts so that you can upgrade the Spirit Ashes you want as quickly as possible.
Difference Between Great Grave Glovewort And Great Ghost Glovewort
Before explaining the location of each Great Grave Glovewort, we need to distinguish the difference between the two types of Gloveworts. You can compare these two to Smithing Stones and Somber Smithing Stones, which are used to upgrade standard weapons and special weapons, respectively.
Similarly, Grave Gloveworts are used to upgrade standard Spirit Ashes, and Ghost Gloveworts are used to upgrade renowned/elite Spirit Ashes. Spirit Ashes can be upgraded to a maximum of 10 levels, and the last upgrade will require rare variants of these Gloveworts - Great Grave Glovewort and Great Ghost Glovewort.
If you still can't find the location of a Great Grave Glovewort according to the order of this guide, you can enter the game community through Discord and discuss with other players. In addition, IGGM Discord will also post some activities to give away Elden Ring Runes. Come and join us!
First One
There are five Great Grave Gloveworts in Cerulean Coast, one of which can be found in an underground tunnel southwest of Cerulean Coast West Site of Grace. To get Great Grave Glovewort, head southeast from Cerulean Coast West Site of Grace and look for a cliff leading down from the slope along the coast.
Carefully enter the tunnel and continue northeast until you reach the exit. Great Grave Glovewort can be found near a bull pedestal on a stone structure.
Second One
The second Great Grave Glovewort is north of Cerulean Coast West Site of Grace, but to get there, you’ll need to first head northeast, then go around the hills along the northwest canyon.
The canyon leads to the northern shore of Cerulean Coast, where you can defeat Demi-Human Queen Marigga to obtain Star-Lined Sword, an intelligence-based sword, and some Elden Ring Runes. To the southwest of the coastline is a large ship-like structure. Climb this to obtain yet another Great Grave Glovewort.
Third One
The next Great Grave Glovewort is found near Cerulean Coss Site of Grace, but if you haven’t explored the area to unlock it, you can start your journey from Cerulean Coast Site of Grace. First, head south from this Site of Grace, past Ghostflame Dragon. Eventually, you’ll find a Map Fragment monument, where you can get a Cerulean Coast map.
Next, turn east from Map Fragment monument and make your way through the ruins to the coastline. As you continue running along the coastline, keep an eye out for a large ruined stone structure to the west. Once you find the stone structure, ride up to it and collect the third Great Grave Glovewort from the stone pedestal.
Fourth One
The fourth Great Grave Glovewort can also be found on Cerulean Coast. Start by discovering Cerulean Cross Site of Grace, then head north and come across an abandoned stone structure to find Great Grave Glovewort. Jump onto the structure and turn northeast.
After a short distance, you’ll come to a cliff. Drop down to another ship-like stone structure below and collect the fourth Great Grave Glovewort from its pedestal.
Fifth One
The fifth Great Grave Glovewort is found on Cerulean Coast, but can only be accessed from Charo’s Hidden Grave, a large plateau that towers over Cerulean Coast.
You can reach Charo’s Hidden Grave by going through Dragon Pit to discover Dragon Pit Terminus Site of Grace. Then, travel south to find Grand Altar of Dragon Communion, then travel a short distance west to reach Charo’s Hidden Grave, decorated with crimson flowers.
Now, to find Great Grave Glovewort itself, travel southwest from Charo’s Hidden Grave Site of Grace as you approach the cliffs. Eventually, you’ll find a similar stone structure, and you can climb down to collect the final Great Grave Glovewort on Cerulean Coast.

Sixth One
To get the last Great Grave Glovewort in Shadow of the Erdtree, you need to head to Shadow Keep from Church District Entrance. You can reach the corresponding Site of Grace by first discovering Bonny Village and running along the north-northwest path.
When you first arrive at Shadow Keep from Church District entrance, most of the area is flooded with water and your only means of movement is to parkour across the rooftops.
To get the sixth Great Grave Glovewort, head northwest from Church Distance Entrance Site of Grace and jump down onto the rooftops. Turn west and you’ll see an orange glow emanating from a corpse on a ledge. To reach the corpse, approach the western edge of the rooftop and jump onto the floating wooden log. Then, make your way through a series of wooden logs to reach the corpse and pick up the last Great Grave Glovewort.
These are the locations of all Great Grave Gloveworts in Shadow of the Erdtree. Have you ever had them before? If not, then go find them now!
