How To Get To Mountaintops Of The Giants Early

Reaching for the Sky (Before You're Supposed To)

So, you wanna see the Mountaintops of the Giants, huh? Before you've, you know, officially "earned" it? Well, let me tell you, you're not alone. Many Tarnished have felt that same impatient itch. It's like seeing a giant, snowy playground and being told you have to finish all your vegetables before you can go play.

And, like any good playground-obsessed kid, we've found a few… shortcuts.

The Windy Route (aka the Spiritspring Sprint)

Alright, picture this: you're near the Forbidden Lands, which is already a pretty foreboding name. You spot a Spiritspring, one of those magical geysers that sends your trusty spectral steed, Torrent, soaring. Now, the game thinks you can't go any further. But, the game doesn’t account for a determined Tarnished!

Here comes the fun. You're gonna use Torrent and the Spiritsprings to do some seriously creative platforming. Think of it like playing hopscotch, but with a very tall horse and potentially deadly consequences. It might take a few tries, a lot of falling, and maybe a swear word or two.

But the exhilaration when you finally make it? Unmatched! It's like winning a tiny personal war against the game itself.

The Invisible Bridge… of Faith

Okay, this one's a bit more… theoretical. There are whispers of an invisible bridge. A pathway only visible to those who believe. (And, you know, maybe watch a YouTube video showing the exact path, just in case your faith falters).

The truly hilarious part of this method is that you're essentially walking on air. You're trusting in the kindness of strangers (the ones who mapped the invisible bridge) and the lack of gravity glitches to get you where you need to go. Every step is a leap of faith, both literally and figuratively.

The Teleportation Tango (For the Magically Inclined)

If you're more of a spellcaster, there might be some teleportation shenanigans you can get into. Certain spells, combined with clever positioning, can let you warp to places you shouldn't be. It's like learning a secret dance move that allows you to bypass the velvet rope at the coolest club in the Lands Between.

This method often involves exploiting the environment in ways the developers probably didn't intend. You're essentially using the game's own rules against it, which feels both clever and a little bit naughty.

The "Accidental" Fall (Definitely Not Recommended... Probably)

This is the most "experimental" and probably the least reliable method. It involves finding a very, very high place and… well, falling. The idea is that if you fall far enough, you might just clip through the world and end up in a different area. Usually, this just results in death. But sometimes… magic happens.

I am absolutely not encouraging you to try this. But, if you do, please record it. For science.

Why Bother, Though?

So, why go through all this trouble? Why risk life and limb (and runes) to get somewhere early? Well, for some, it's about the challenge. It's about proving that you can conquer the game on your own terms. It's about that sweet, sweet feeling of smug superiority when you see other players slogging through the "proper" route.

But, honestly, sometimes it's just because it's fun. It's a chance to break the rules, explore the world in unexpected ways, and create your own little legend in the Elden Ring community. And, who knows, you might even find some cool loot along the way!

Just remember to pack your sense of humor, your patience, and maybe a few extra flasks of Crimson Tears. You're gonna need them.
