Where to get a torch in Elden Ring

Light the way with this early game torch.

In Elden Ring, you can find some dark areas that are hard to traverse without a torch. It will light the room and reveal what manner of creatures and treasure you can find in decrepit areas. Here’s where to find and buy a torch in Elden Ring.

Thankfully, you can find a torch early on in Elden Ring. Just north of The First Step, you will find the Church of Elleh. From there, you’ll see a Santa-like merchant sitting by a fire. If you’re new to the game, we highly recommend avoiding the Tree Sentinel, a warrior on top of a horse. Just go to the left of it and then head into the Church of Elleh.

Talk to the merchant at the church, and you’ll find a torch available for 200 Runes. Once purchased, you can equip the torch by going to the “Equipment” tab on the pause menu. Go to the second row of this menu and select the torch to be equipped. You can then switch to it by pressing the left D-Pad button.

Unfortunately, this does mean you can’t have a shield out at the same time as your torch. However, that’s better than being left without a viable weapon to fight off the enemies you’ll find in the darkness.
