Elden Ring is packed with secrets, but few are as satisfying to uncover as its illusory walls. Often tucked away in forgotten corners of dungeons and legacy dungeons, these invisible barriers vanish with a simple strike, revealing hidden passageways, treasure chests, and sometimes powerful enemies guarding rare loot. If you’re looking to expand your inventory with some of the game’s more elusive gear, here are 13 Elden Ring items hidden behind illusory walls that are absolutely worth seeking out.

1. Sword of Night and Flame – Caria Manor

Located in Caria Manor in northern Liurnia of the Lakes, this legendary weapon is behind an illusory wall on a hidden pathway after the manor’s library section. Make your way along the ramparts until you reach a small room with a suspicious wall on the left. Strike it to access a chest with the Sword of Night and Flame—a favorite among magic-scaling sword builds.

2. Ritual Sword Talisman – Lux Ruins

In Altus Plateau’s Lux Ruins, there’s a small chamber sealed by an illusory wall. After defeating the boss, explore the sides of the ruins to find a wall that disappears with a hit, revealing this talisman that boosts attack power at full HP.

3. Erdtree's Favor +1 – Subterranean Shunning-Grounds

Beneath Leyndell, the Shunning-Grounds are full of secrets. After traversing a tricky series of pipes and platforms, you'll find an illusory wall hiding a small room. Inside is a chest with the Erdtree's Favor +1, one of the best talismans for boosting HP, stamina, and equip load.

4. Crimson Amber Medallion +1 – Volcano Manor

Volcano Manor is home to several illusory walls. After completing the first assassination mission, explore the hallways near Tanith. One of the fireplaces in the manor is actually an illusory wall. Strike it to access a hallway leading to a chest with this valuable talisman.

5. Meteoric Ore Blade – Caelid Waypoint Ruins

In the Waypoint Ruins Cellar, one of the side walls near the site of grace disappears when struck. Behind it lies a chest containing the Meteoric Ore Blade, a katana favored for its scaling and gravity magic properties.

6. Lusat's Glintstone Staff – Sellia, Town of Sorcery

This area in Caelid is full of illusory walls. Inside one of the town's sealed towers is a wall that reveals a hidden room. You’ll need to complete Sellen’s questline to access it, but the reward is Lusat’s Glintstone Staff, perfect for INT-heavy builds.

7. Prattling Pate "You're Beautiful" – Hermit Village

While not a weapon, this Prattling Pate is a fun collectible hidden behind an illusory wall in Hermit Village. It’s located in a ruined building near the end of the village—smack the left side wall to find it.

8. Rosus' Axe – Black Knife Catacombs

In the depths of the Black Knife Catacombs, there’s an illusory wall behind a grave warden. Strike it to access a path leading to Rosus’ Axe, a weapon with decent Strength scaling and a unique heavy attack.

9. Mimic Tear Ashes – Night’s Sacred Ground

While not behind a traditional illusory wall, this Spirit Ash is gated behind a hidden door in Nokron. After defeating the Mimic Tear boss, explore the buildings to the south. Look for a small chapel with a strange wall—strike it and claim one of the best Spirit Ashes in the game.

10. Crucible Knight Set – Auriza Hero’s Grave

This challenging dungeon is full of death chariots and secrets. One illusory wall near a drop-off leads to a hidden section with the full Crucible Knight armor set. It’s a tough trek, but the gear is among the most formidable in the game.

11. Nox Flowing Sword – Nokstella

Deep within Nokstella, after crossing a bridge guarded by silver tears, a suspicious wall can be found behind a narrow ledge. Hit it to reveal a chest containing the Nox Flowing Sword—elegant and deadly.

12. Marika’s Scarseal – Siofra River

Down in the Siofra River region, look for a structure near the Hallowhorn Grounds. There’s a wall with faint markings—strike it and find Marika’s Scarseal, which boosts Faith at the cost of taking more damage.

13. Stonesword Keys and Smithing Stones – Sage’s Cave

Sage’s Cave in Altus Plateau is practically a museum of illusory walls. Nearly every wall in the cave is fake. By striking each one, you can uncover multiple chests holding valuable upgrade materials, including smithing stones and Stonesword Keys.

Uncovering these hidden areas doesn’t just reward you with rare gear; it also deepens your understanding of Elden Ring’s level design philosophy. If you’re someone who’s planning a fresh build or simply wants to experiment without farming for hours, there are plenty of cheap Elden Ring runes out there—just make sure you’re using them responsibly and within your own enjoyment standards.

Whether you're chasing rare gear or looking for Elden Ring items for sale to round out your loadout, uncovering illusory walls is still one of the most satisfying ways to earn your treasures. So keep your eyes peeled and your weapons ready—those walls won’t reveal themselves.
