ELDEN RING All NPCs and Questlines Guide

• Meet Irina past the Bridge of Sacrifice which is located South-East of the games starting area.
• Accept a letter from her and travel south into the castle. Find her father Edgar on the ramparts of Castle Morne and deliver the letter.
• Kill the boss in Castle Morne.
• Return to Edgar.
• Return to Irina.
• Kill Edgar now or later meet Edgar as an Invader at the Revenger’s Shack on the West Side of Lake Liurnia for a Shabiri Grape(Grape may not appear until after meeting Hyetta)

Notes: If you get the Revenger’s Shack Grace before completing the rest of the quest, Edgar will not appear. Could there be a method to save Irina? Irina appears to have died from Demi-Human and a Note says kill Demi-Human leader to demoralize the rest.

• Meet Hyetta after Irina’s death at the Lake-Facing Cliff Grace, north of Stormveil Castle.
• Grab the Shabiri Grape from under the throne room of the castle, entrance nearby in the cliffs, then give it to her.
• Go to the Purified Ruins and find the hidden floor in the center of the ruins to grab the Shabiri Grape within.
• Find Hyetta in the North-West side of the ruins and give her the grape.
• Get the Shabiri Grape from Edgar the Revenger and meet Hyetta at the Gate Town Bridge on the North-East side of Liurnia Lake.
• Give her the grape and reveal what it is.
• Go to the Church of Inhibition on the North side of Liurnia Lake and kill Festering Fingerprint Vyke who invades you for Fingerprint Grape.
• Meet Hyetta at Bellum Church also on North side of Liurnia Lake and give her the Fingerprint Grape.
• Later meet Hyetta in the deepest part Leyndell, Royal Capital, requiring you to go through the Sewers to Mohg, The Omen.
• Kill Mohg then attack the altar behind the chest to open up a secret passage.
• Make your way to the bottom and speak with her to end the quest and get Frenzied Flame Seal.

Notes: Hyetta will not appear until after the Irina/Edgar Quest. What is the relation between Hyetta and Irina? Why does she only appear after Irina’s death? Also, some report needing to take off all weapons and armor to get the secret passage to open. I just hit it and it worked so I don’t think that’s the case. The Frenzied Flame is required for one of the Endings but locks you out of all other endings once you acquire it unless you do Millicent’s questline and choose the right path.

• Meet Roderika at the Stormhill Shack just outside of Stormveil Castle.
• Talk to her multiple times and go into Stormveil Castle.

• Go to Roderika’s previous location at Stormhill Shack for Golden Seed and back to her in Roundtable Hold for another Golden Seed.
• Go back to where you found the Memento for a Crimson Hood.

Notes: If you unlock Roundtable Hold before getting her the Memento, you can never give it to her. Is this the end of the questline? She has later dialogue but nothing has really happened besides asking you to save Hewg, but he refuses. End?

• Follow Roderika’s Questline, ater mentions wanting to create a weapon that can kill a god.
• After you upgrade a weapon to max, he thanks you for allowing him to make the weapon and hopes that you’ll use it to kill a god.

• Eventually you’ll meet Boc at the East Capital Rampart in Leyndell Royal Capital.
• You have to buy a piece of boss gear from Enia and then you will be given the option to give him the Gold Sewing Needle.
• Later he will mention his ugly appearance and ask your thoughts on it.
• Here you have a choice.
• Choice 1: He will mention Rennala and ask for a Larval Tear to go change himself. If you choose to give it to him, he will show up at Rennala’s boss room as a human, then when reloaded he will be dead.
• Choice 2: Go to Hermit Village, located South-East of Volcano Manor and most easily reached by going through the “Coward’s Way” to reach Mt. Gelmir, you will find Prattling-Pate: You’re Beautiful on the South side of the village. Take that and use it next to Boc in East Capital Rampart and then talk to him.

Notes: What are Alexander’s Innards used for? It might be the Great Jar in Caelid after doing it’s quest. Some also think Jarwight but he is a puppet at this point though someone reported having seen him alive and not as a puppet somewhere. I have a theory that the fates of multiple puppets may be changeable.

• After getting access to Raya Lucaria, go to the Grand Library Grace and walk out to find 2 Summon Signs.
• One helps Sellen and one helps Jerren. Sellen gives the Glintstone Kris and makes Shard Spiral available to buy, Jerren gives an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone and both give Witch’s Glintstone Crown.
• Choose one and kill the other.

Notes: Scrolls can be given to her but I’d give them to Miriel. Sellen also features in another questline but isn’t completely necessary to complete it.

• Talk to him then go back to where he was in Roundtable Hold to find a message.
• Go to outer moat on the North side of the Leyndell Royal Capital, outside the city walls, and he will spawn as an Invader.

• Go there and clear the Fort then return to Kenneth.
• He will reward you and then move to the Fort and mention looking for a new Lord.

Notes: According to data-miners, the lord is definitely Nepheli but no one is sure how to do it. I have a theory that the fates of multiple puppets might be changeable and so there might be a method of changing the Nepheli Loux Puppet.

• Found in North Caelid just outside an arena.
• Doesn’t speak but after talking to him there will be 3 Red Summons just down the hill from him named Knight of the Great Jar.

Go North up the stream from there and you will be invaded by Bloody Finger Nerijus. Kill him then go into the nearby cave. Proceed through the cave and open the chest that looks like an obvious trap to find Patches who will then become a boss and attack you.

Reload and talk to him again then open the nearby and return to him again for an emote(not necessary but you will miss it if you don’t).

Talk to him and he will give you a tip about helping a girl. Go East of him to find a pavilion, North of the Lanskyar Ruins, and you will find Rya who says her necklace has been stolen. Head North-West from her to find the Boiled Prawn Shack where you will encounter Blackguard Big Boggart. He offers to sell you the necklace, or you can kill him for it. Buy it from him and buy some Boiled Prawn to get an emote. Go back to Rya who will give you an invitation to the Volcano Manor. Go North from here, past the Academy Gate Town Grace and you will find Diallos standing over his dead servant and swearing revenge. Here you have a choice. If you leave him, he will move to Volcano Manor and do nothing except whine. If you kill him, you get a mask. This is your only chance to get the mask. Proceed with the game from here until you reach Altus Plateau. You can proceed by activating the Grand Lift of Dectus, requiring 2 medallion halves or by going the “Cowards Path” through the Ruin-Strewn Precipice. For this guide, we’ll take the “Coward’s Path” cause it’s less complicated to explain and you’ll need to go through this path anyway later. Go North-West from the Academy Gate Town and then North-East once you hit Testu’s Rise. Continue North-East up the stream until you reach the end and climb the nearby tower. Proceed through the Ruin-Strewn Precipice to the top and kill Magma Wyrm Makar.

At the top of the Grand Lift of Dectus(if you got the medallions) or in the Lux Ruins past the Magma Wyrm Makar boss room(if you took the “Coward’s Path) you will meet Rya again. Give her the invitation and she will take you to the Volcano Manor. There you can talk to Tanith and join the Manor, becoming a Recusant Bloody Finger and get a key. Go down the hall and open the doors talk to the ghost who will mention leaving a serpent slaying spear in the lord’s chambers, it’s a surprise tool that will help us later. Unlock the door nearby to find Rya, Bernahl and….Diallos. Talk to all 3 then grab the Volcano Manor Request from the table. Go to the red spot indicated on the map, it will be North of Warmaster’s Shack where you met Bernahl, and find the Red Summon Sign on the ground. Use it to fight and kill Old Knight Istvan then head back to the manor and talk to Tanith. Just outside the room you should see Patches. Talk to him, then go talk to Bernahl…and Diallos I guess, then go to the room across the hall and open the door to see a giant snake. Talk to it to find out that it’s Rya. She will mention slithering in the walls. Go to the room next to the one she is in and roll into/attack the walls to reveal an Illusory Door. Proceed through the path until you reach the Prison Town Church Grace. Return to Rya and talk to her about it then talk to Tanith about Zoraya.

Collect the second Volcano Manor Request if you haven’t already then go to the red dot, same as before. It is located East of Volcano Manor. Finish it and return to Tanith then talk to Bernahl for a request from him and Patches for a request from him. I think Diallos is usually whining about being inadequate or something at this point so ignore him and getting ready to make friends with the other 2. Go back to the boss room where you fought Magma Wyrm Makar and find the Red Summon Sign for Great Horned Tragoth. Kill him and return to Patches, then reload the area and talk to Patches to get the item he was just holding onto for you. Proceed through the game to the Royal Capital of Leyndell, the area North-East of the Grand Lift of Dectus. Go through the Captial and find the Red Summon Sign for Vargram the Raging Wolf and Errant Sorceror Wilhelm. Work with Bernahl to kill them both then return to Bernahl for a reward.

Go back to the Prison Town Church Grace and proceed through that area and you will eventually come to Temple of Eiglay where you will find and fight a Godskin Noble boss. Kill it and go to the altar nearby for the Serpent’s Amnion. Go back to Rya and give it to her to discover what it means. Reload the area and she will have disappeared. Go to Tanith and talk to her about it and she will give you a Potion of Forgetfulness. Go to the Temple of Eiglay and go up the lift onto the balcony, jump off the left side onto the hardened magma below, go across the bridge cover in slugs and head up to find an Iron Maiden. Run past it and past the open window you will want to use to escape it. Around the corner you will find a door and across from it will be another door. 1 door give you a shortcut to here for later in the form of a lift. The other door has Rya inside. Talk to her and she will ask you to kill her and you get the option to give her the potion. You can do either if you like but I recommend doing neither. Instead go talk to Tanith and then grab the final Volcano Manor Request.

The final request for Volcano Manor requires you to get to the Mountaintop of the Giants area. Do this by through Leyndell, going North-East to the Grand Lift of Rold. You’ll have to beat the boss at the Erdtree first to get the medallion for this lift. Once you’ve gotten to the Mountaintop of Giants, go to the Red Summon Sign near the Shack of the Lofty, the red dot on the map will guide you. Kill Juno Hoslow, Knight of Blood aka Diallos’ much more capable brother. Kill him and return to Tanith and she will transport you to the boss area. There you will find the Serpent Hunter which is our surprise tool from earlier. Use it or don’t and kill both phases of the boss then return to Tanith. Talk to Bernahl and Patches to say goodbye then head to Rya who now realizes you aren’t going to kill her. Reload the area and she will be gone, having left behind a note and a reward. Go back to the manor and everyone will be gone but you can buy Ashes from the sword sitting where Bernahl sat. Go back to the boss room and you will find Tanith there. Talk to her then kill her and her knight. Proceed through the game until you reach Crumbling Farum Azula. Once there, proceed through the area until the Beside the Great Bridge Grace. When getting onto the bridge, go left and down that path and continue to the end to be invaded by Recusant Bernahl. Kill him to tie up the last loose end.

Notes: The Potion of Forgetfulness can be used on a few different NPCs during their storyline, usually when they are most depressed. Patches is probably somewhere but he may not appear again until a DLC.
