Wondering where to use the Storeroom Key in Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree? As you explore the Land of Shadow in Shadow Of The Erdtree, you'll discover many secret dungeons, Spiritsprings and rooms within the various regions of the map.

On your travels in Belurat, Tower Settlement you may come across the Storeroom or Storeroom Key. Below, we've listed the location of both the key and the room itself so you can discover the secrets inside. We've also provided tips on what to do once you gain access to the Storeroom in Elden Ring.

Storeroom Key location

The Storeroom Key is located within Belurat Tower Settlement in the Gravesite Plain. From the Belurat Tower Settlement Site Of Grace, follow these steps to get the key:

  1. Head east towards the fountain and defeat the enemies here.
  2. Continue right.
  3. There will be a few mage Shades that will cast spells on you from the bridge above. Look out for them as you progress forward, up the pathway.
  4. At the end of it, defeat the Shades and take the passage to the left.
  5. Head up the stairs to discover the Small Private Altar Site of Grace.
  6. Go right through the archway and watch out for the patrolling soldier dual-wielding two greatswords.
  7. Head up the stairs and turn right towards a little crevice in between buildings.
  8. Follow the buildings around, watching out for Shades that jump out at you, until you see a stream of filthy water and a gated archway.
  9. Turn right at the waterfall, and head into the nearby room.
  10. Head up the ladder and then loot the corpse in front of you to get the Storeroom Key.
Here is a visual step-by-step of where to go to get the Storeroom Key in-game.
Note: There's a handy shortcut you can unlock from here. Once you have the key, go through the archway and up the stairs on the right. Turn left at the top of the stairs, go down and to the left set of stairs which lead to a lift. Take the lift down and open the front doors to unlock the main shortcut into the settlement.

Where to use the Storeroom Key

Thankfully, getting to the Storeroom once you have the key is relatively straightforward. From the Small Private Altar Site Of Grace, head through the arch and take the first left (where the mages on the bridge are located).

At the end of the bridge, to the left is the Storeroom. Once inside, you'll notice an unresponsive NPC called Hornsent Grandam.

To talk to the NPC here, you must defeat the boss of Belurat, the Divine Beast Dancing Lion at the top of the tower. Once you've defeated this new boss, wear the Divine Beast Head (helmet) and approach Hornsent Grandam. They will converse with the following dialogue:

Ah, such a joy to smell this scent again... Does a sculpted keeper stand before me? Ohh! As I felt the sacred beast's essence fade, a great anxiety welled up within. Forgive this old woman her foolish fears! Tis such a relief, I cannot express. After an eternity of the mind, our voices have at last reached the heavens. As evinced by thy gracious arrival. I implore, vessel of the sacred beast... Have my son accompany thee to war. And dance thy dance of beauteous choler. Take vengeance upon Messmer and his lot. They who betrayed us, aye, they who burned us... Let them face in thy wrath their just deserts. My song will I sing...in service to thee.

After speaking to her she will grant you the Watchful Spirit Incantation. This requires 26 Faith to cast and summons a guardian spirit above the caster's head.

Other than this, there doesn't seem to be any other notable items in the Storeroom besides a shortcut via a door onto the main pathway.

Remember to exhaust all dialogue as she may also offer you a Scorpion Stew which can boost physical negation temporarily and gradually restore HP. From the item description, it is a consumable dish, typically traditional amongst the Hornsent.

Where to use the Scorpion Stew

If you eat or throw the Scorpion Stew away and then rest at a Site Of Grace, return to Horsent Grandam and she will gift you another. The dish can be gifted to Hornsent at the Three-Path Cross Site Of Grace at the Gravesite Plain in return for Furnace Visage - an extremely rare crafting component.

Note: After defeating Messmer at the Shadow Keep, Hornsent Grandam will gift you a Gourmet Scorpion Stew which is an enhanced version of the regular item.
