Elden Ring's massive open world is filled with a number of secrets. You might find yourself exploring new areas, then coming across a chest capable of sending you to a whole new location. Or you just might be returning to a previously visited place at night, only to be attacked by a new boss who wasn't there before. This uncertainty around the game is one of the prime reasons why it is such a blast to play, although fans do have a bit of trouble with it sometimes.

While most players are focused on defeating the hardest bosses and gathering the best loot, some may just be admiring the stunning sights of Elden Ring's fantastical landscapes. Although you may just rest at one of the various Sites of Grace throughout your journey, the last thing you might expect is to rest inside a coffin. However, it appears that you can do just that — but what exactly happens if you decide to rest in a coffin?

Resting In Elden Ring's Coffins

Resting In Elden Ring's Coffins

Many of you playing Elden Ring may have found an eery-looking coffin that gives you the option to rest in it once you get too close. This is something that fans are in a dilemma about, but thankfully resting in a coffin has no adverse effects on your journey. Coffins are used to travel to different locations within Elden Ring. So far, three of these coffins have been discovered.

First Coffin

coffin from Nokron, Eternal City to Deeproot Depths in Elden Ring

The first coffin can be found in Nokron, Eternal City, and can be accessed after defeating the Valiant Gargoyles. Once you take them down, you will find a coffin at the base of the waterfall. Upon resting in this coffin, you will be taken to Deeproot Depths, which also has one of the best farming locations in the game.

Second Coffin

The second can be found in Deeproot Depths, notably near the Nameless Eternal City Grace Site at the Great Waterfall Basin following the defeat of the two Gargoyles at the Siofra Aqueduct. This coffin will take you straight to Ainsel River​​​​​.

Third Coffin
