After you have reached the Sealing Tree, you need to burn it to unlock Enir-Ilim. To burn the Sealing Tree, you must defeat Messmer first in the Shadow Keep. After defeating Messmer, you will obtain Messmer’s Kindling. Use it at the Sealing Tree to burn it completely.

Once you burn the Sealing Tree, a cutscene will start showing the shadow disappearing from the Belurat, and you will be teleported to Enir-Ilim. Now, you can reach the final boss and end the Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree’s main campaign.
