Elden Ring First Church of Marika Gallery and Notes
- The church sits in the Mountaintops of the Giants and survives only as ruins — there is no interior to explore.
- It is the marker most players use to find the Weeping Evergaol, which lies just down the hill to the northeast and holds the Ancient Hero of Zamor.
- Despite the name it is unrelated to the Fourth Church of Marika in the Weeping Peninsula, which is a separate site entirely.
