whats after the crumbling farum azula from elden ring
After you finish Crumbling Farum Azula in Elden Ring , you’re taken to Leyndell, Capital of Ash —the ashen, endgame version of the capital city.
What happens right after Crumbling Farum Azula?
Once you defeat Maliketh, the Black Blade in Farum Azula, the game triggers a story cutscene:
The Erdtree is set ablaze from within, and the capital transforms into Leyndell, Capital of Ash.
You don’t get to “go back” to the old Leyndell in that playthrough; it’s permanently replaced by the Ashen Capital for the rest of your run.
Where exactly do you go next?
After the cutscene:
- You spawn at the first Site of Grace in Leyndell, Capital of Ash.
- From there, you progress through the ruined, ash-covered city, fighting new enemies and bosses.
- Main path (spoiler-light):
- Push through the ash-choked streets and rooftops.
- Face the Capital’s first major boss in the Ashen Leyndell (often referred to as the “ash capital boss”).
- Then continue to the final area and final boss of the game.
If you’re specifically wondering “what do I do right after the Maliketh fight and cutscene?”: you just follow the only available path forward from your new grace in the Ashen Capital.
If you’re stuck inside Farum Azula itself
Some players ask “what’s after Farum Azula?” while still inside the area, confused about progression. In that case:
- After the Godskin Duo , you unlock the Dragon Temple Rooftop grace.
- From there, you go to the Great Bridge grace.
- Then you fight Maliketh, the Black Blade , which is the last required boss in Farum Azula.
Once Maliketh dies, the game automatically moves you to the next story zone (Leyndell, Capital of Ash).
TL;DR
- After Crumbling Farum Azula (Maliketh) → Leyndell, Capital of Ash.
- Old Leyndell is gone for that playthrough; you proceed through the ashen capital toward the final bosses and ending.
