Where to find the Faded Erdleaf Flower in Elden Ring – and what it does

With crafting making its way to Elden Ring, a first for a FromSoftware title, there are plenty of different materials to find as you explore every corner of the Lands Between. Some of these materials have obvious crafting applications, but others are more mysterious. Take, for example, the Faded Erdleaf Flower.

According to its detailed description, it can be “found blooming in rotten lands.” Given Elden Ring’s sheer size and its multitude of poison swamps, there are more than enough candidates for places to look for Faded Erdleaf Flowers. The only place we’ve seen them, though, is in the Swamp of Aeonia.

The easiest way to reach this particular swamp is by starting at the Sellia Crystal Tunnel Site of Grace, marked above. From there, head away from the ladder, down the tunnel where you will walk out into the swamp. From here, you will find plenty of Faded Erdleaf Flowers in the grassy area before the water. Just watch out for the giant creatures spitting poison into the air. They’re faster than they appear, and they hit hard.

Faded Erdleaf Flowers can be used to craft Rot Pots, which can be thrown at enemies to cause a buildup of Scarlet Rot. This is fitting, considering Scarlet Rot is the dangerous blight that covers the Swamp of Aeonia where the flowers can be found.
