Elden Ring is massive in scale, with tons of areas for players to explore across the expansive Lands Between. There are tons of locations, hidden dungeons, secret bosses, and a litany of NPCs to be discovered.

Those that want to see the Turtle Pope early on will be happy to know that it's possible to visit him from the start of the game.

Miriel, Pastor of Vows is located in the Church of Vows, which is found in the Liurnia of the Lakes region, directly above the starting area of Limgrave.

Once players have made it to Liurnia of the Lakes, they'll need to head up the Northeastern roadway. A good place to start
