As long as players know where the start point of the Rold Route begins, it won't be hard to find it again through multiple playthroughs.
To get to the Rold Route in Elden Ring, you must first defeat Morgott, the Omen King. He's a mandatory boss found later in the Leyndall capital city, following another boss fight with Golden Spectre of Godfrey, the First Elden Lord.
Before you battle Morgott, we recommend activating the Avenue Balcony Site of Grace near the center of Leyndall. It will be great for getting to the Rold Route after the boss fight.
Upon defeating Morgott, continue the main questline by trying to enter the Erdtree to trigger an event with Melina, who eventually gives you the Grand Lift Rold's medallion. Opening the world map with the medallion in your character's hand will reveal a bright red marker showing the location of the Rold Route.

Unfortunately, the single marker doesn't explain where the Rold Route starts. From here, return to the Avenue Balcony Site of Grace to head up the main street of Leyndall and turn left.
Keep going down the main road, passing demihuman enemies, and proceed through large doors to climb a staircase. At the top, make another left to find an elevator you must ride. The elevator will take you to the Grand Lift of Rold, where you can use the Rold medallion to reach the Mountaintop of Giants.
