Illusory Walls are the Hidden Walls of Elden Ring, that must be struck to reveal a hidden path beyond. These walls are not immediately obvious, but if you find yourself stuck in a location without a way to progress, it is very likely that you have to hit a nearby wall.
To open up an Illusory Wall in Elden Ring, you can attack them or roll into them, depending on the wall (or floor). Any walls that are illusions will disappear, revealing hidden paths and rooms that have special items, weapons, optional bosses, and more.
