You can find him at the Black Forest location. To locate the secret boss, you need to search for his rune stone which is scattered across the Burial Chambers in the Black Forest. You can summon Elder by burning Ancient Seeds at his altar.

You should note that this is one of the fierce bosses you will come across in the game, so make sure that you upgrade your weapon before the encounter. It is also advised that you bring along your friends to gain some advantage.
Once you successfully defeat Elder, he will drop the Swamp key which can be used to unlock all the gates to the dungeon. This will enable you to unlock doors to all the dungeons even for those who are yet to beat the secret boss.
