Encounter

From the Village of the Albinaurics Site of Grace, head up the slope and deal with the Depraved Perfumer. Once defeated, proceed to the edge of the area (ignoring the bridge) and you’ll find a pot.

• Alexander can be first encountered just west of the Saintsbridge Site of Grace in Stormhill, Limgrave.

First Encounter

At the top of the cliff overlooking the road you’ll find a strange sentient cauldron-man stuck in the ground. Upon speaking to him, you’ll discover that his name is Alexander but that he is more commonly known as the Iron Fist. He will ask you to help push him out of the ground by smacking his behind with a strong blow. You’ll want to use a heavy attack to generate enough force to dislodge his cauldron-body from the ground. You’ll unlock the Triumphant Delight emote.
**
Second Encounter**

The next place you’ll find Alexander is in Gael Tunnel in Caelid Wilds. There are two ways to enter the tunnel: from the Rear Entrance tunnel and the front entrance. If you happen to head down the rear entrance tunnel first and talk to Alexander he’ll tell you that he seems to have hit a dead end. There is a door on the back wall of this area but it seems to be locked.

When you head into Gael Tunnel via the Caelid entrance, you’ll want to take out the enemies on the wooden platform then descend down the steps into the pit. To the west, you’ll find a pathway down into another lower down pit. There’s another enemy chilling on the wooden platform next to the ladder down. Once you’ve dealt with him, descend down and you’ll find a path that heads through to what appears to be a dead end. There’s actually a door on the back wall, it’s not hidden but it isn’t that obvious at a quick glance. Interact with it to open the door then speak to Alexander, who’s found on the other side.

Third Encounter

As you progress through Caelid, you’ll eventually meet Alexander just north of the Redmane Castle Plaza Site of Grace in Caelid, to the southeast of the region. If Alexander wasn’t in the Gael Tunnel, he’ll already have moved to this location where you can continue his Quest. Speak with him to learn that he’s here to attend the festival and wishes you luck on the battle ahead.

Once the battle with Starscourge Radahn is underway, he’ll be one of the many NPC summons that you can use. You can summon him multiple times and his death in the battle does not impact the Quest. Once Starscourge Radahn is finally defeated, you’ll find him near the Site of Grace where he laments his weaknesses and vows to get stronger.

Fourth Encounter

Following your encounter at Redmane Castle, Alexander will have begun his journey north. You’ll next find him directly south of the Carian Study Hall Site of Grace in eastern Liurnia of the Lakes, on the higher ground. To reach this, you will need to find the Artist’s Shack Site of Grace and head southeast, you should hear Alexander calling out to you.

As you can see, he’s once again found himself stuck in the ground, and wishes for the Tarnished’s assistance again. This time around you’ll need to use an Oil Pot on him before striking him in the back. He’ll thank you and then remark that he’s on his way to forge himself in the strongest fires.

Fifth Encounter

The fires that Alexander mentioned can be found on Mt. Gelmir, to the northwest of the Altus Plateau. You will need to head along the base of the mountain by heading west from the Wyndham Ruins to reach the Seethewater River and following this to the northwest where you’ll eventually reach Fort Laied. From here, it’s just a short journey to the south where you’ll locate a lava field.

As you approach, you’ll be attacked by the Magma Wyrm and once defeated, you’ll find Alexander standing in the fires to the left of the large rock here. You can stand on the ground just in front of him and talk to him from range, so that you avoid taking damage in the lava. This time around, he’ll hand over the Jar, a helmet inspired from Alexander himself.

Final Encounter

It’ll be some time before you meet with Alexander again, in the game’s penultimate area, Crumbling Farum Azula. Once you reach the area, continue through until you reach the Dragon Temple Lift Site of Grace (you’ll need two Stonesword Keys to gain access). From this Site of Grace, make your way through the plaza, going up the stairs and to your right to spot a fallen structure you can leap over to. Leap to the one on the left and cross over to the other side where Alexander will be waiting after passing over another fallen ruin.

He will challenge you to a duel, and should you win, you’ll obtain the Shard of Alexander Talisman along with Alexander’s Innards. Should you be defeated in the duel, you can return here and challenge him as many times as you like until victory is yours. Despite Alexander’s questline coming to an end, you can use Alexander’s Innards to progress Jar Bairn’s Quest at Jarburg in Liurnia of the Lakes.

• Blackguard Big Boggart is first encountered at the Boilprawn Shack, located to the south of the Academy Gate Town Site of Grace in Liurnia.

First Encounter

Your first meeting with Blackguard (as he is knwon by at first) is likely to be through the start of Rya’s Quest which is started nearby. She will send you to Blackguard asking to retrieve the Necklace that he stole from her. Blackguard can be found at Boilprawn Shack which can be found a little to the southwest of the Academy Gate Town Site of Grace in the center of the lake in Liurnia (alternatively a little to the northwest from where you spoke to Rya).

Once you reach his shack, he admits he has the Necklace and you’re presented with two options. You can either purchase it for 1000 Runes, or you can just choose to kill him, at which point you’ll be able to loot the Necklace from his body. It should go without saying but avoid killing him at all costs should you wish to progress and complete his Quest, this operates independently of Rya’s and is heavily related to Dung Eater’s Quest.

Upon agreeing to buy it, you’ll gain access to his Shop, although the only other item he offers is Boiled Prawn, a useful consumable that will boost physical negation for a short time. You’ll need to purchase at least one for him, to progress his Quest as he remarks that anyone with a taste for prawns is someone he can trust, striking up a friendship with him. This will allow you to summon him for the Magma Wyrm Makar Boss in the Ruin-Strewn Precipice dungeon.

Second Encounter

Once you reach Altus Plateau, head to the northeast of the city and you’ll find yourself in the Capital Outskirts. From the first Site of Grace in the city, Capital Rampart, exit outside to the northeast and follow the path down to the water below, to the west you’ll find Blackguard has set up camp.

Speak with him and you’ll learn that he’s selling Boiled Crabs now, which are a better version of the Boiled Prawns he sold before. Exhaust his dialogue here and he’ll mention about the time he spent with Dung Eater in prison, remarking that you should steer well clear of him.

Final Encounter

You must now progress Dung Eater’s Quest until he mentions that he will be waiting for you in the outer moat. Return to Blackguard and exhaust his dialogue to learn that he believes Dung Eater is somewhere nearby. Refresh the area and you’ll find a wounded Blackguard who begs for his death, oblige and you’ll be able to obtain a Seedbed Curse, Blackguard’s Bell Bearing, Iron Ball, and Blackguard’s Iron Mask. You’ll also be invaded by the Dung Eater here, defeat him and you’ll obtain the Sword of Milos and progress his Quest.

Blaidd is an NPC in Elden Ring and is involved in a lengthy Quest with Ranni the Witch that awards an alternate ending.

• You can first encounter Blaidd at the Mistwood Ruins once you’ve learnt the gesture from Merchant Kalé.

First Encounter

The first thing you’ll need to do is head to Mistwood Ruins, which can be found north of Fort Haight. As you approach the ruins, you’ll hear some howling. At this point, head to the Church of Elleh and talk to Merchant Kalé. He’ll give you the Finger Snap emote and tell you to use it where you heard the howling.

Head back to the Mistwood Ruins and use the Finger Snap emote. Blaidd will jump down from the ruins, allowing you to speak to him. If you can’t find him at first, walk around the ruins, and you should see him as Blaidd is a tall imposing figure, half man, half wolf. During your conversation with him, he’ll mention that he’s looking for someone who goes by the name of Darriwil.

Second Encounter

Remember that Blaidd told you that he was looking for Darriwil? Well now is the time to find him. Darriwil can be found in the Forlorn Hound Evergaol which is situated right at the southern tip of Limgrave. The nearest Site of Grace to it is the Agheel Lake South. From there, follow the southwest path until you see a circular stone floor with a blue glyph in the center. Interact with the blue glyph to enter an arena of sorts. Right next to the glyph you’ll notice a gold summon sign, this will summon Blaidd for the upcoming boss, Darriwil.

Once Blaidd has appeared in your game, approach the edge of the arena where you’ll see a faint blue line, this’ll make Darriwil appear. Once he’s defeated, speak to Blaidd again, and he’ll reward you with a Sombering Smithing Stone [2]. Talk to him a second time, and he’ll tell you about a blacksmith in Raya Lucaria, and that you should mention his name if you meet him.

Third Encounter

You’ll next meet a projection of Blaidd at Ranni’s Rise, located just behind Caria Manor. He will suggest that you meet with him in Siofra River in the attempts to locate a way to Nokron. You’ll find the entrance to Siofra in eastern Limgrave and heading northeast from the Fort Haight West Site of Grace. Once in Siofra River, make your way down to the Siofra River Bank Site of Grace and head east under the aqueduct to locate Blaidd.

He’ll suggest that it’s time to pay Seluvis another visit and see if there’s more information that he’s not sharing. Return to Blaidd in this location once more after speaking with Seluvis at Seluvis’s Rise and Blaidd will inform you that he’s moving on to Redmane Castle, for the festival.

Fourth Encounter

Your next encounter with Blaidd will take place in Redmane Castle Plaza in Caelid, just before the boss battle against Starscourge Radahn. Speak to him and he’ll learn that he cut open a path to the plaza for you (hence the reason the castle grounds were so devoid of any enemies).

Once you head into the battle with Starscourge Radahn, Blaidd will be one of the many NPCs you can summon to help against him. When Radhan finally falls, you’ll trigger a cutscene showing the way to Nokron is now open. Head over to Radhan’s Site of Grace and speak with him, he’ll remark that the way to Nokron is finally open.

Fifth Encounter

This fifth meeting with Blaidd is entirely optional, but one well worth pursuing to learn more about how Blaidd relates to Ranni and his relationship with Iji. Return to the Forlorn Hound Evergaol in Limgrave and you’ll hear his voice, at which point you can head to the seal and release him. Return to Iji now to learn why he placed Blaidd in the Evergaol and the threat he poses to Ranni.

Final Encounter

You’ll have to wait until you see Ranni’s Quest to its completion for your final encounter with Blaidd. By now, you should be well aware of Blaidd’s relation to Ranni, so it’s no surprise that when you return to Ranni’s Rise that you’ll find a Blaidd on the cusp of madness. There’s nothing you can do for him here, and a battle is an inevitable outcome. Bladd attacks a lightning pace despite his stature and his weapon skill, Wolf´s Assault will deal massive Frost damage in the area that he lands.

Once Blaidd is defeated, he’ll drop the Royal Greatsword, along with his Armor Set minus the helm. To locate this, head down to Seluvis’s Rise and look the right of the tower entrance to find a thin wall you can climb up, the Black Wolf Mask can be found behind the tower up on this wall.

First Encounter

You’ll be able to have your first encounter with Gideon Ofnir when you set foot in the Roundtable Hold for the first time. You will find him standing by the hearth and to begin with, he won’t even offer you his name as refuses to accept you as anything more than all the other Tarnished that pass through the Hold.

Leave the Hold however, and return once more to find that Gideon has retreated to his room, located down the path near Brother Corhyn and where Ensha stands guard outside. Head inside the room and he will agree to give you more information, and accept as you a Knight of the Hold if you can track down and kill one of the Elden Lords, namely Godrick the Grafted at Stormveil Castle.

Second Encounter

Once you have successfully defeated Godrick the Grafted, return to the Roundtable Hold only to find that Gideon Ofnir has closed his door to you. In order to progress his storyline, you’ll have to first speak to his daughter, Nepheli Loux, who you will first meet just before you fight Godrick at Stormveil Castle. After speaking with her, head into the room to speak with Gideon (you must first speak with Enia in the new accessible room for Gideon to reopen his doors) and he will impart knowledge of all the Demigods for you. For now, Gideon will serve this role as the All-Knowing.

Third Encounter

Upon defeating your second Lord, return to Gideon and he will offer some insight on where to go next. More importantly, you can ask him about his feelings towards Nepheli Loux, of which he remarks that she has not been of use to him. You can head between the two to keep the dialogue going, but this ends in Nepheli feeling like she’s been cast out.

Around this time, if you’ve been following the Preceptor Seluvis Quest, you may have a potion that he has tasked you with giving to Nepheli. To avoid any negative outcomes to Nepheli (or later, Dung Eater’s) Quest, you can opt to give the potion to Gideon, who will take it off your hands and asks that you lie to Seluvis that you handed it over. This is the best outcome for the Potion as all other outcomes will end that person’s Quest.

Fourth Encounter

From here it’s just a short trip to the northwest through the trees to reach Bellum Church where you’ll meet Hyetta once more. This time, she requests a Fingerprint Grape.

To find this grape, head northeast from the Church of Bellum and then as you approach the Grand Lift of Dectus, head southeast and climb up a little to find the Frenzied Flame Village on your left. Before heading any further, head towards the tower on your left and defeat the Maniacs at the top to stop the constant buildup of Madness in this area. Next, head northwest here and you’ll eventually reach the Church of Inhibition where Festering Fingerprint Vyke will invade. Be sure to have protection against Madness and defeat Vyke to obtain, among other loot, the Fingerprint Grape.

Return to Hyetta and hand it over to her for her to come to the conclusion that she must become a Finger Maiden, after which you should rest at the nearby Site of Grace. At this point, Hyetta will then move on to her next location, in Lyndell, where you won’t see her for a while.

Final Encounter

After his defeat, head behind the altar to find an hidden path (strike the wall) that will lead you to the Frenzied Flame Proscription. Speak with her and she’ll give you a hint about how to get through the door ahead, simply removing all of your equipment and you’ll gain access to the Three Fingers.

Return to Hyetta and she’ll ask you to burn her with the flame to make her your maiden (this is your last chance to prevent losing Melina), you’ll need to stand directly in front of her to get the option.

Speak with her to learn her tale, and that her father still sits in the occupied Castle Morne. As the commander, he refuses to leave his post but Irina asks you to send a letter to her father, handing over Irina’s Letter in the process, you’ll find her father, Edgar, in Castle Morne.

At the courtyard, head past the Pumpkin Head and around the corner to find a ladder leading up. Dispatch the enemies up ahead and then climb down the ladder to your left to find another set of enemies. At the end of this pathway is some stairs leading up where you’ll find Edgar who will take the letter from you.

Second Encounter

After delivering the letter, return to the campfire near the Bridge of Sacrifice Site of Grace to find Irina laying lifeless next to a cleaver. There is nothing you can do to prevent Irina’s death, and this is an unfortunate condition to progress Edgar’s Questline.

Jar Bairn is an NPC. It is a small living jar NPC that can be found sitting on top of some stairs at the west end of Jarburg. Their quest is tied to Iron Fist Alexander and Diallos.

• Jar Bairn can be found at Jarburg.

Witch-Hunter Jerren is an NPC in Elden Ring and is involved in a Questline alongside Sorceress Sellen.

• You can first encounter Jerren just north of the Redmane Castle Plaza Site of Grace in Caelid.

First Encounter

The first time you come across Jerren, it will be as the herald for the festival of war at Redmane Castle in Caelid. There’s not much you can do with him here, and you’ll have to interact with him to gain access to the Starscourge Radahn battle. After the battle is over, refresh the area and head north of the Redmane Castle Plaza Site of Grace to find Jerren sitting on a chair. Speak with him to learn that now that the war festival is over, he’ll be moving on soon.

Second Encounter

You’ll next need to progress through Sorceress Sellen’s Quest up until the fourth meeting, where you use her Primal Glintstone on the puppet in Liurnia. Make your way back to where Sellen was chained up in the Witchbane Ruines, Weeping Peninsula and you’ll now find Jerren. He’ll remark that he’s sure that Sellen lives on elsewhere.

Final Encounter

Once you’ve cleared Raya Lucaria Academy, return to the Raya Lucaria Grand Library Site of Grace and head outside, you’ll find two summon signs either side of the door. A gold one that will summon you to the aid of Sellen against Witch-Hunter Jerren, doing this will result in Jerren’s death and end his Questline here, preventing the rewards from that. The red sign will allow you to invade Sellen and assist Jerren, ending Sellen’s Questline and preventing her rewards, you must make a decision as you cannot complete both on a single playthrough. As for rewards, Sellen’s conclusion offers the greater rewards (you can find out more about Sellen’s rewards on her respective NPC page).

Sellen is by far the tougher adversary here, her Sorcery spells can hit a huge area so let Jerren take the focal point and attack her from behind when it’s safe to do so. Once she’s defeated, you’ll obtain Sellen’s Bell Bearing and the Witch’s Glintstone Crown. Leave the library and you’ll find Jerren standing to the right (as you exit) and he’ll hand over an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone as way of thanks.

Kenneth Haight is an NPC in Elden Ring and is involved in a Questline that intersects with Nepheli Loux.

• You can first encounter Kenneth Haight in the northeast of Limgrave, standing on some ruins between the Mistwood Outskirts and Third Church of Marika Sites of Grace.

First Encounter

Kenneth Haight can be found atop some ruins near the road heading northeast from Mistwood Outskirts Site of Grace in Northeast Limgrave - you’ll be able to hear him shouting for help when you approach the area. He’ll ask you to take back his fort which is found south, beyond the Mistwood.

Second Encounter

Before you head into Haight Fort, you’ll want to rest at Fort Haight site of grace, which is just below the fort itself, near the beach to the west.

When you head through the gate into the fort, you’ll want to run straight through this inner courtyard and look for cover to avoid the numerous enemies that’ll shoot flaming arrows at you. If you head up the steps, there’s a weak enemy to the right, next to the barrels. There are a couple of minor enemies that’ll be shooting at you that you’ll want to take out before facing the mini boss of this area.

Once you’ve cleared out the lower level, you’ll want to follow the steps all the way to the top of the walls of the fort, where you’ll find the mini boss of the fort - an unnamed knight in golden armor. He wields a pretty nasty sword but his big slashing blows are quite slow and easy to interrupt with your own attacks (if you’re in melee combat). Upon defeating him, you’ll get an Ash of War: Blood Slash.

When you return to Kenneth Haight, who’s found atop the ruins nearby Mistwood Outskirts site, he’ll thank you for your service and reward you with an Erdsteel Dagger. Upon receiving the reward, make sure to speak to him two more times to exhaust all dialogue options. First he will tell you he is returning to the fort, and then when you talk to him again you’ll be prompted to pledge service to him, which should you accept you’ll be asked to meet him back at Fort Haight for your knighting ceremony.

Second Encounter

Once you return to Fort Haight, it’ll be overrun with enemies again - luckily no pumpkin heads or golden armored knight. Once you’ve taken out the handful of weak enemies, speak to Kenneth, who’s found atop the castle’s walls. He’ll tell you he can’t actually make you a knight as he doesn’t have the authority. He wants to find a legitimate ruler for Limgrave.

Final Encounter

Once you reach Crumbling Farum Azula, return to the Roundtable Hold and exhaust the dialogue options between Smithing Master Hewg and Roderika, you will need to rest several times at the Site of Grace to refresh the area. You’ll need to ensure that you’ve completed Nepheli Loux’s Quest up to the point you hand her The Stormhawk King.

Make your way over to the Godrick, the Grafted Site of Grace in Stormveil Castle and rest at it again to refresh the area (this is required) and you’ll find Nepheli and Kenneth in the throne room. Nepheli has seemingly taken up the role of the new ruler of Limgrave and will hand over an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone. If you’ve managed to see Gatekeeper Gostoc’s Quest to its conclusion, you’ll find him here too and he will offer to sell you another one for 20,000 Runes.

Latenna is an NPC in Elden Ring and is involved in a short Quest that gains you access to an optional, secret, area in the Mountaintops of the Giants region.

• Latenna is at the Slumbering Wolf’s Shack, accessed by passing through Lakeside Crystal Cave in the southwest of Liurnia.

First Encounter

You will find Latenna at the Slumbering Wolf’s Shack looking over the body of her fallen companion and although dismissive at first, remark to her about Albus and the medallion that you have. She will change her tune and then ask if you could take her to the Haligtree, saying in return she will give you a clue on the whereabouts of the other half of the medallion. Agree to help her and you’ll get your clue, along with her willingly joining you as a Spirit Ash, Latenna the Albinauric, a useful summon that will aid you in your journey. This may seem like the natural conclusion to Latenna’s Quest, but there is one more step with a useful reward at the end of it.

Melina is an NPC in Elden Ring and plays the role of the Maiden who offers you the power to use Runes to level up.

• You will first encounter Melina after resting at a Site of Grace for the third time (usually in Limgrave)

First Encounter

Melina will come to you when you rest at a Site of Grace for the third time. You can either find three separate Sites of Grace or rest at the same one three separate times to trigger the encounter with Melina. We rested at the following Sites of Grace: The First Step, the Church of Elleh and the site of Grace at Gatefront, which is a short ways north of the Church of Elleh.

When you first speak to Melina she’ll ask to become your Maiden. You can decline her offer but having a maiden is important for several reasons. She’ll give you Torrent the mount and you’ll also need a Maiden to level up and progress through the main story. If you initially declined her request but have since decided you do want her to be your Maiden, you can talk to Melina and change your mind whenever you rest at a Site of Grace point.

Second Encounter

The next time that Melina greets you at a Site of Grace, she’ll transport you to the Roundtable Hold, which is the hub world only accessed via sites of Grace. There seems to be two different ways that you can gain access to Roundtable Hold. You can either defeat the first main story boss and then rest at the site of grace that spawns in the boss area, or you can do a bit of exploring and after discovering a few more Sites of Graces, she’ll pop up at any random site location.

Third Encounter

Once you gain access to Leyndell, Royal Capital for the first time and use the first Site of Grace, the East Capital Rampart, Melina will make another appearance. This time, she informs you that your pact is complete, and that she will take her leave, although she will still grant you the use of Torrent and allow you to convert Runes into power.

As you progress through the area, you’ll eventually reach the Queen’s Bedchamber and the boss of the area just beyond. Look closely however and you’ll spot a summon sign, allowing you to call for Melina’s aid in the battle to come. This is the only battle that you can summon her for in the game. Following your victory, use the Site of Grace here and Melina will appear again to make a new accord, handing over the Rold Medallion in the process.

Final Encounter

Once you have completed Melina’s request and reached the Forge of the Giants, you’ll find a Site of Grace at the back, rest at it and Melina will appear for a final time. She will ask if you are ready to commit a cardinal sin, give her your blessing and will Melina will go about using herself to burn the Erdtree and send you off to Crumbling Farum Azula, setting in motion the final main area of the game.

First Encounter

Once you reach the Altus Plateau, return to the Roundtable Hold and you’ll find the door near the Twin Maiden Husks is now open and inside, a vile man sits on the ground. Approach him and speak to him to learn his thoughts on curses and defilements before he declares that he’ll no longer speak to you.

To progress his Quest, you’ll need to track down the first Seedbed Curse and the earliest one you can obtain is in Leyndell, Royal Capital. Head to the East Capital Rampart Site of Grace and head along the linear path, taking the lift down at the end. Proceed into the next room and you’ll spot a ladder on your right, climb it and follow the stairs to the top of the building to find the first Seedbed Curse on a corpse in a chair. With this in hand, return to him at the Roundtable Hold and show it to him, he’ll urge you to visit his corporeal flesh trapped in the Leyndell, Royal Capital Sewers, handing over the Sewer-Gaol Key in the process.

Second Encounter

With the key in hand, you’ll now have to venture down into the sewers of Leyndell, Royal Capital. The Subterranean Shunning-Grounds can be accessed from the Avenue Balcony site of grace and heading down the northwestern stairs in front of it. Go through the door into the open area, and head west to hug the railing until you can see roofs to jump on to on your left.

Jump down to them and drop off to the right and turn around on yourself and north where you’ll see a well behind a dilapidated wall. Take the ladder down into the well and pick up the Rune Arc from the corpse at the end of the corridor, then head back and open the gate. With the gate open, head into the next area and take the next ladder down and follow the damp corridors northeast until you see the text pop-up for the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds.

Once you reach the Site of Grace there, head out of the room and follow the dim hall northeast whilst running past the first Omen and keep heading northeast until you reach the second Omen. To your left will be an open grate that you can drop into which is just before the giant gate in front of you. Drop into the grate, and you’ll be in a damp rat-infested tunnel with two directions to take. Opt for the northwestern path and about halfway up, a rat will be hiding amongst the crates to your left with another three just in front of it. Defeat them and loot the corpse at the end and run past the three large Miranda Flowers to the southwest and climb the ladder at the end.

When you reach the top, go around the corner and be wary of the small hand enemies and their larger counterpart just before Dung Eaters cell. Once you defeat these, they won’t respawn, and you’ll be back here a few times so take them out now to avoid them hassling you later. Use the key and speak to Dung Eater to tell him to leave the gaol.

Third Encounter

Return to the Roundtable Hold and you’ll discover that the Dung Eater is no longer there and a message has been left for you. Before you head to the moat, you’ll want to ensure that you’ve progressed Blackguard’s Quest to its final steps and return to where he is in the Capital Outskirts.

All Seedbed Curse Locations

To complete Dung Eater’s Quest, you’ll need a total of five (from the six available) Seedbed Curses, you can discover below where you can find them.

Final Encounter

Once you have four more Seedbed Curses on you (to save yourself multiple trips), return to where Dung Eater’s gaol in the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds and you’ll find him strapped to a chair. You’ll be able to feed him the Seedbed Curses and upon the fifth one, he’ll die, allowing you to loot the Mending Rune of the Fell Curse, this is needed to trigger the Blessing of Despair Ending. Quit your game and reload your save following this and you’ll be able to loot the Omen Set.

Heading from the Liftside Chamber Site of Grace, leave the room and head along the path to where the barricades are. Deal with the Eagles, pick up the Golden Seed at the base of the tree and then enter the nearby door to find her. Alternatively, you can head south from the Secluded Cell Site of Grace, although you’ll need to deal with a Troll to reach the door, making this the quicker, but deadlier route.

Once you reach her room, you’ll find her standing over the body of a knight. Speak to her to learn her name, and that her father sent her here to deal with Godrick. Once you’re ready, head to the fog door leading to the Godrick battle and summon her to help in the battle. There is a good chance that she may well die during the battle, but fret not, she’ll be safe when you meet her for the second time.

Second Encounter

With Godrick defeated, when you return to the Roundtable Hold, you’ll find Nepheli standing outside Gideon Ofnir’s room who just so happens to be her adopted father. Speak with her and she’ll hand over the useful Arsenal Charm as thanks for taking down Godrick and will give you some more information about her history.

Third Encounter

Your next meeting with Nepheli takes place in the Village of the Albinaurics in southwest Liurnia. From the Village of the Albinaurics Site of Grace, head under the large bridge and you’ll find her kneeling down. Speak with her and exhaust her dialogue options before heading up the path behind her and across the bridge.

Speak with Nepheli after speaking with Gideon and you can tell her that you heard the news about Gideon. She will inform you of some of the atrocities that Gideon has begun to commit and that she doesn’t know what to belive in anymore.

You have an important decision to make here, if you decide to go along with Seluvis’s scheme and hand the potion to Nepheli, you’ll end her Questline, but in the process, gain a unique Spirit Ash from Seluvis in the process.

Your second option here is to wait until you’re beyond Altus Plateau and have the Dung Eater in the Roundtable Hold. Advancing his Quest far enough will allow you to feed him and should you feed him the potion, you’ll end his Questline, but get another unique Spirit Ash.

If you wish to continue Seluvis’s Quest and not void the other two, there is a third choice available to you. You can mention about the Potion to Gideon Ofnir at the Roundtable Hold and you’ll be able to hand it over to him to dispose of and tricking Seluvis into thinking you gave it to Nepheli, but it didn’t work. You won’t gain either of the two unique Spirit Ashes, but you will be able to continue all three Questlines.

Seluvis and Ranni

The next step of Seluvis Quest requires you to progress Ranni’s Quest and speak with Blaidd in Siofra River, who will suggest you speak to Seluvis to learn more about Nokron. Return to him and speak to him to obtain Seluvis’ Introduction. At this stage, you’ll need to purchase all available Sorceries and Puppets from Seluvis, to prompt his next step of the Quest. There is a deadline to this step, you must do this before you plunder Nokron and hand over the Fingerslayer Blade to Ranni, or else you will find Seluvis dead the next time you visit him in his tower.

Once you’ve purchased everything he has to offer, he’ll request that you assist him in creating a potion that can turn even a demigod (Ranni), into a puppet. This begins the betraying Ranni Questline, but you can still advance this for now with little consequence. To make this point, he’ll need an Amber Starlight found in the Altus Plateau.

Make your way to the Altus Highway Junction Site of Grace and head east along the path, then north to find a valley, at the end of this you will find your Amber Starlight. Return to Seluvis once more and hand this over, as thanks you’ll obtain the Magic Scorpion Charm Talisman, the main reward for Seluvis’ Quest, along with the Amber Draught that he asks for you to give to Ranni. This is decision time once again, if you decide to hand this over to Ranni, she will kill you, then Seluvis and you’ll fail her Quest, preventing you from a secret ending among other things. As the outcome is Seluvis’ death regardless, we strongly advise giving this Amber Draught to Ranni.

You’ll obtain the Hoslow’s Oath gesture at the start of the battle and upon his defeat, the Hoslow’s Set and Hoslow’s Petal Whip.

Fourth Encounter

Be sure that you’ve completed all necessary steps from characters in the Volcano Manor and then return to Tanith to report your success once more to obtain the Taker’s Cameo Talisman, this will restore HP as you defeat enemies. At this point, Tanith asks if you wish to meet her Lord and accepting this will transport you directly to the room to challenge Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy. Return to Tanith after the battle and then return to the Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy Site of Grace to find Tanith now feasting on the remains of her lord.

Tanith will remain here now, although you do have the option of killing her to obtain the Consort’s Set although be aware that her Crucible Knight will appear and attack. Defeat the knight however, and you’ll obtain the Aspect of the Crucible: Breath Incantation.

• Drops Festering Bloody Finger (X6) if killed before invading him at Moghwyn’s Palace.

• Right by The First Step Site of Grace.

First Encounter

You can find Varré near The First Step Site of Grace. There won’t be much you can do with him at the start, but he will tell you that you should head to Stormveil Castle, as well as mention Godrick the Grafted.

He won’t leave The First Step until you defeat the boss Godrick at Stormveil, and reach the Roundtable Keep for the first time. If you’ve been to the Roundtable Keep, but not defeated Godrick yet. You can progress his quest some by talking to him again, as he’ll acknowledge that you’ve made it to the Roundtable Keep, and answer the first option “I’ll fly straight and true”. When you talk to him again, he’ll tell you that you need a Great Rune, and Godrick just happens to have one.

Second Encounter

After defeating Godrick the Grafted, White-Faced Varré can be found at the Rose Church in Liurnia of the Lakes. The Church is on the central island between three sites of graces, these being: Folly on the Lake, Temple Quarter, and Fallen Ruins of the Lake. You’ll find Varre standing outside the northeastern side of the Church.

After exhausting all of his dialogue, he’ll give you the Festering Bloody Finger and ask you to invade three players. You can do this right here by interacting with the Festering Bloody Finger, this will put you in another online players world, and your goal is to defeat them. For the quest, you only need to invade three times, not win.

Once you’ve invaded three people, head back to Varre and talk to him again. He’ll tell you that want to anoint you, “A knight to serve Luminary Mohg, the Lord of Blood, and establish a new dynasty.” Tell him to “Anoint me” and he’ll give you one final task to complete before he accepts you in their order. The task would normally be to kill your own maiden, but as you’re maidenless, he’ll tell you that anyone’s maiden will do.

There are two maidens you can get the blood from, and they can be found at either the Church of Inhibition, which is on the eastern landmass of Liurnia northwest of the Frenzied Flame Village. The second place is the Chapel of Anticipation, which can only be accessed by unlocking the second belfry of The Four Belfries in the western landmass of Liurnia. To unlock the belfry, you’ll need an Imbued Sword Key, which can be found in a chest in front of the fourth belfry at the top.

It’s worth noting that if you go to the Chapel of Anticipation, you’ll need to fight a boss first. When it’s defeated, the maiden can be found dead by the left side of the wall as soon as you enter the Church.

Once you have the blood-soaked favor, head back to Varre, and he’ll reward you with a reusable Bloody Finger, talking to him again will reward you with the Pureblood Knight’s Medal. This leads to Mohgwyn’s palace, where you can fight Mohg, Lord of Blood. This is the earliest part in the game that you can fight this Lord.

Final Encounter

After using the Pureblood Knight’s Medal, head up the stairs to the southwest and to a Site of Grace. Now make your way all the way to the end of this path, ignoring the enemies along the way and you’ll enter a dark passage. Use your Lantern and keep to the left, defeating the first enemy and then proceeding northwest to an area with plenty of tombstones.

Keep to the left still and follow this area to the northeast and you’ll find a way out of this crypt. You’ll come across an invasion sign, but ignore it first and use the Dynasty Mausoleum Midpoint Site of Grace first.

Now return to the Invasion sign and you’ll see it belongs to White-Faced Varré and you’ll need to invade him and kill him to complete this Quest. Head back to the south to have Varré attack you and you’ll want to be wary of his weapon, this will cause massive Bloodloss buildup so back away and recover if it’s too high. He does seem to have low poise, allowing to flinch him easily with heavier weapons (or using skills such as the Waterfowl Dance from the Hand of Malenia). Once you return to your world, you’ll find him on the floor, speak with him and exhaust his dialogue and once he’s passed, you’ll be able to loot the Varré’s Bouquet weapon from his body.
