Elden Ring features plenty of Minor Erdtrees at which players can grab new abilities for their Flask of Wonderous Physick. Beneath each Erdtree lie catacombs that the player can explore to find Grave Glovewort and unique Spirit Ashes for summoning.
One such catacomb can be found in Caelid, an early game area to the east of Limgrave. Featuring dead ends and hidden routes aplenty, this guide will tour players through the Minor Erdtree Catacombs to claim the Mad Pumpkin Head Ashes to help with Elden Ring's punishing fights.
The Minor Erdtree can be found early on in the Caelid Wilds, just to the east of the Smoldering Church, down a slope laden with enemies.

The Catacombs themselves can be found tucked away in the cliff face behind the Erdtree on the right.
