Finding the right spots to place your Graves in Deadlock is crucial, especially after the recent City Never Sleeps update. I’ve seen many players waste resources and time by sticking to old spots that just don’t work anymore. You can still utilize building ledges, windows, and other elevated surfaces to keep your Graves safe from enemy destruction.
The best Graves tombstone spots I’ve found cater to both the Hidden King and Archmother, and they dot the landscapes of Greenwich, York, and Broadway. Some locations are straightforward to access, while others might require a double jump or a dash for a successful placement. I found this out the hard way — so trust me, knowing these spots is worth it.
Below are the prime locations, complete with map screenshots, plus a few tips for discovering even more perfect hiding spots on your own.
Placing Graves doesn’t strictly require the exact spots in the screenshots. There are many building ledges and elevated surfaces throughout Deadlock where you can stealthily set up your Graves. Just hover your cursor over these areas and look for the green indicator that shows it’s a viable placement.
When scouting for the ideal spot, consider these pointers:
- Check building ledges first: The sides and tops of buildings are great for placement, as many ledges allow for easy access.
- Use double jumps or dash jumps: Some spots are just too high for a normal jump. Get creative with height to reach those tricky ledges.
- Utilize Greater Expansion: For some elevated areas, this ability helps you reach those hard-to-get placements. Don’t forget about the benefits of Arcane Surge, which can assist in alignment.
- Seek cover: Things like tree branches and windows can effectively hide your Graves, making it tough for enemies to spot them.
- Verify the final position: Sometimes, the Grave may momentarily look like it landed inside a wall or isn’t quite positioned right. Be patient and wait to see where it actually settles before leaving it.
Simply put, the best placements are the ones that force your enemies to take longer routes or utilize their movement skills to access your Grave. Even a tiny ledge can become an effective hiding spot if it complicates enemy access.
In simple words, the best spots are the ones that force enemies to take a longer route or use movement abilities to reach your Grave. Even a small ledge can work if enemies can’t get to it easily.

Remember, you’re not limited to the spots listed here. Explore nearby buildings, windows, and trees to discover additional placements to conceal your Graves. Many ledges can work in your favor, so try different approaches to secure them out of enemy reach.
Your primary aim is to make enemies use extra time reaching your Grave. A smartly placed spot that forces a difficult approach can be far more effective than one that’s visible and accessible. Always check that the Grave settles where you want it before leaving it unattended!
Before using any spot in a match, check that the Grave settles on the intended surface and that enemies cannot reach it with a simple jump.
