The Paintings are items in that depict specific landscape motifs. A total of seven paintings are hidden in The Lands Between, and if you have the paintings in your bag and search for the place they depict, you will find a special reward.

This only works if you have collected the corresponding painting, however, so you'll need to find each one if you want to see the ghostly figure who'll be sitting on a chair at the location depicted (the artist behind the painting, perhaps?), who will leave your reward behind.

In this guide, we will show you where to find all seven Paintings in Elden Ring and which locations they will lead you to. But if you're looking for help with the DLC, you can check out our guide to finding the Erdtree paintings too.

The path to this painting's depicted location is a little awkward, so here's a more detailed explanation of how to ge there. First, go south-east of the Erdtree (Dragonbarrow) to this spot:

Drop onto the root below and then continue downwards bit by bit. Torrent will help you make the difficult jumps. Ignore the golem, as it's not worth the effort, but do grab the Rune Arc next to him, as you continue down to get to the painting's location.

Here is the reward.
