If you’re curious to learn more about yellow lines that often show up on the Elden Ring map, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s explore what they mean and how you can use them in the game.
What do the yellow lines on the Elden Ring map mean?
The yellow lines on the Elden Ring map indicate the main story path or the main objectives of each region. They usually point towards the next grace spot in the main journey. In the lore, they are known as the Guidance of Grace.
If you’re in a dungeon, the yellow lines lead to the boss you need to tackle.
Think of them as markers for the main quest. But they don’t exclusively point to main quests, they also lead to important treasures and locations where you can find handy items.
The yellow lines on the Elden Ring map are permanent, they don’t disappear once you’ve completed the quest or reached the Site of Grace they were pointing to.
Long story short, the yellow lines in Elden Ring point to where you need to go.
These gold lines are like simple hints, showing you a way to go, but it’s totally up to you if you want to follow them.
And don’t worry, even if you don’t follow them, you can still move ahead in the game.
And now you know.
