FromSoftware games are usually full of secrets that require obscure solutions, and Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is no exception. A secret passage at Shadow Keep, Back Gate requires the O Mother gesture to open, but it’s easy to miss.
Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC – O Mother Gesture Location
To get the O Mother sign in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, visit Moorth Ruins in Scadu Altus and look for a large hole in the ground. Carefully drop down into the hole and proceed through the cave until you emerge outside in Bonny Village. You will find yourself on a lower plateau that connects to the region east of Shadow Keep, including the Church District.
On the north side of the plateau, near the edge of the cliff, you can find the O Mother sign in the open field, on a corpse. I've marked its location on the map above, so it should be hard to miss. Just walk up to it and grab it – it's that simple.
Now that you have the O Mother gesture, use it on the Queen Marika statue at the Shadow Keep, Back Gate Site of Grace. It will open a secret passage to a new area in the far north of the map: Scaduview.
