Outer moat is an unofficial location in Elden Ring, and it’s part of the Dung Eater’s Questline. Historically, moats are medium-sized ponds that surround a building, usually a castle, to dispense it with an initial line of protection. As shown in Elden Ring, the Royal Capital, Leyndell, is encircled by various small ponds.
