Elden Ring YouTuber discovers unused DLC dungeon missing from Shadow of the Erdtree

An Elden Ring YouTuber just found an unused Ruined Forge dungeon in Shadow of the Erdtree’s DLC files. The dungeon looks fully complete, with enemies, objects, jumping puzzles, and an interactive Forge—everything but loot.

Ruined Forges are a new dungeon type added in Shadow of the Erdtree. They’re ancient, lava-filled passages lined with crumbling columns and rusted metal. There are three Ruined Forges scattered across Elden Ring’s DLC map, but it turns out a fourth one has been lurking in the game files the whole time.
