Elden Ring: All Quests Checklist

Step 1: Talk to Varré at The First Step site of grace.

Step 2: Obtain any Great Rune and unlock the Two Fingers in the Roundtable Hold.

Step 3: Talk to Varré at the Rose Church, which is on an island west of the Fallen Ruins of the Lake site of grace. Now you have two options:

• Option 1: Invade other players three times using the Festering Bloody Finger he'll give you.
• Option 2 (recommended): Travel to Writheblood Ruins, which is east of the Bridge of Iniquity site of grace. There, find an invasion sign and defeat Magnus the Beast Claw.

Step 4: Go back to Varré at the Rose Church. He will give you the Lord of Blood's Favor.

Step 5: You must soak the item in maiden's blood, so you need to find a maiden. Maiden options are as follows:

• Maiden Option 1: Irina near Bridge of Sacrifice, kill her (dying at the end of Irina's questline doesn't work).
• Maiden Option 2: Kill Hyetta anytime during her questline - this fails Hyetta's questline.
• Maiden Option 3 (recommended): Travel to Church of Inhibition site of grace and use the already dead maiden there.
• Maiden Option 4: Travel to Chapel of Anticipation (starting area) if you have a spare key to use at The Four Belfries. There is a dead maiden in the starting building.

Step 6: Return to Varré and exhaust his dialogue to receive the Pureblood Knight's Medal, which can teleport you to Mohgwyn Palace.

Step 7: Find Varré's invasion sign past the Dynasty Mausoleum Midpoint site of grace in Mohgwyn Palace. Invade him, then return to the area to find Varré's Bouquet.

Step 1: Progress until Melina gives you the Spectral Steed Whistle (Torrent).

Step 2: Go to the Church of Elleh site of grace in Limgrave. Renna will appear sitting by the church ruins at night. Talk to Renna and tell her that you can summon Torrent. She will give you the Spirit Calling Bell and Lone Wolf Ashes.

Troubleshooting: If Renna doesn't appear, make sure you TELEPORT to Church of Elleh, not just walk there, skip time or otherwise. Do this before you travel to Roundtable Hold with Melina. If she still doesn't appear, travel to Roundtable Hold and you can buy the Spirit Calling Bell and Lone Wolf Ashes from Twin Maiden Husks.

Step 3: Reach Ranni's Rise in Liurnia of the Lakes. Renna introduces herself as Ranni - continue with Ranni's questline.

Melina's journey is less of a questline and more of a guiding hand throughout the whole game. There are multiple outcomes, so we list it.

Step 1: Rest at a Site of Grace in Limgrave after activating enough Sites of Grace. Most commonly done in Gatefront. Accept Melina's accord to unlock leveling up and receive the Spectral Steed Whistle (Torrent).

Step 2 (optional): Listen to Melina's site of grace dialogue at various instances, e.g.: Castleward Tunnel, Third Church of Marika, Church of Pilgrimage...

Step 3: She will eventually offer to take you to Roundtable Hold. Accept. This is triggered either by defeating Margit, the Fell Omen boss fight, or leaving Limgrave, Stormhill or Weeping Peninsula, but not via the teleporter chest that takes you to Sellia Crystal Tunnel.

Step 4: Reach the East Capital Rampart site of grace in Leyndell. Melina will say goodbye.

Step 5: Melina can be summoned for the Morgott, the Omen King boss fight.

Step 6: Defeat Morgott, rest at the Elden Throne Site of Grace after discovering the Erdtree is sealed. Melina will ask you to take her to the Forge of the Giants to burn the Erdtree.

Warning: Now you can go to Frenzied Flame Proscription site of grace and opt-in to the Frenzied Flame ending. If you try to do this, Melina will move next to Mohg, the Omen arena and try to convince you otherwise. If you go with the ending now, Melina will really abandon you this time.

Step 7: Speak to Melina at the Forge of the Giants Site of Grace. This concludes her questline and progresses the main story.

Step 1: Find Boc disguised as a small tree in Limgrave, east of the telescope south of Agheel Lake North. Hit the tree to reveal him, then talk to him.

Step 2: Go to Coastal Cave in western Limgrave. Boc will be lying next to the site of grace. Talk to him.

Step 3: Defeat the Demi-Human Chief Duo boss in Coastal Cave, obtain Sewing Needle and Tailoring Tools and bring them to Boc (still in Coastal Cave).

Step 4 (optional): Boc can be encountered at Lake-Facing Cliffs, East Raya Lucaria Gate and Altus Highway Junction sites of grace.

After Step 4, Boc moves to East Capital Rampart site of grace and stays there. What happens next depends on what you give him.

The basement is northeast of Ranni's Rise chamber, in one of the first ruined buildings - it is behind an illusory wall.

Step 11: Fast travel to the Raya Lucaria Grand Library. If Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon isn't already dead, defeat her and rest. Outside the entrance you'll find two summon signs. Interacting with either sign will determine the ending.

Step 4: Return to Boggart and buy at least one Boiled Prawn. This befriends him and allows his questline to continue. He can now also be summoned for the Magma Wyrm Makar fight. Note that if you do this, he will inevitably die. If you wish for him to live, delay buying the Boiled Prawn which triggers him, instead first trigger the Dung Eater invasion (described here in Step 6) and only then trigger Boggart to move next to Leyndell.

Step 5: After reaching Altus Plateau, Boggart relocates to the outer moat of Leyndell, just south of the Minor Erdtree where he begins selling Boiled Crab. Speak to Boggart at the moat and exhaust his dialogue. He warns you about the Dung Eater.

Step 6: Progress Dung Eater's questline to Step 4 until he invades at the outer moat.

Step 7: Reload the area. Boggart will be mortally wounded. Speak to him, then defeat the invading Dung Eater.

Step 8: Reload the area again and loot Boggart's body to obtain: Seedbed Curse, Blackguard's Iron Mask, Iron Ball, Blackguard's Bell Bearing.

Never kill any living jars in Jarburg or this quest will fail.

Step 1: Complete Step 1 of the Iron Fist Alexander's questline.

Step 2: Meet Jar-Bairn in Jarburg. Exhaust his dialogue until he says your hands are too rough to become Potentate. Reload the area and speak to Jar-Bairn again, he will mention poachers.

Step 3: Progress Diallos's questline until he leaves Volcano Manor. He will relocate to Jarburg. This eventually leads to Jarburg being attacked by poachers, but this is part of Jar-Bairn's quest. If you wish for Jarburg to stay unharmed, never do Diallos's questline - or check Step 2 in Diallos's questline to see how to fail it.

Step 4: Continue reloading the area and speaking to both Diallos and Jar-Bairn until their dialogue is fully exhausted and it is clear that Diallos is not strong enough to become the Potentate. From this point, Diallos's questline merges into Jar-Bairn's questline.

Step 5: Defeat Starscourge Radahn and speak with Alexander in Radahn's arena as part of Iron Fist Alexander's questline (Step 4).

Step 6: Return to Jarburg, the village should be attacked. Jars should be destroyed and Diallos wounded. Speak with Diallos and Jar-Bairn.

Step 7: Reload the area and speak to Jar-Bairn next to Diallos.

Step 8: Fully complete Iron Fist Alexander's questline to get Alexander's Innards.

Step 9: Reload the area and Jar-Bairn will be back at his original location and announce his desire to travel the world. Give him Alexander's Innards.

Step 10: Reload the area again to receive the Companion Jar talisman. Get Diallos's Mask and Hoslow's Petal Whip from the center of Jarburg.

Step 1: Meet Albus in the Village of the Albinaurics and obtain the Haligtree Secret Medallion (Right).

Step 2: Finish the Lakeside Crystal Cave dungeon to get to the Slumbering Wolf's Shack and speak to Latenna while carrying the medallion. Agree to take her to Miquella's Haligtree. She will give you the Latenna the Albinauric Spirit Ash. If you do Step 3 before Step 2, Latenna will die.

Step 3: Progress through the game and obtain the Haligtree Secret Medallion (Left) from Commander Niall's area at Castle Sol.

Step 4: Travel to the Apostate Derelict site of grace.

Step 5: Interact with the big Albinauric woman at the Apostate Derelict while Latenna's Spirit Ash is in your inventory. Latenna will give you the Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone.

Step 1 (optional): Finish Renna's questline.

Step 2: Defeat Royal Knight Loretta in Caria Manor and reach Ranni's Rise. Speak with Ranni and agree to serve her.

Step 3: Speak to all three of Ranni's servants' phantoms inside the tower: Blaidd, War Counselor Iji, Preceptor Seluvis. Seluvis asks you to visit him, but that is only relevant for Seluvis's questline at this stage. Return to Ranni and exhaust the dialogue again.

Step 4: Complete Blaidd's questline Steps 4-6, which is: Meet Blaidd in Siofra River. Speak with him, then visit Seluvis, who gives you Seluvis's Introduction. Bring Seluvis's Introduction to Sorceress Sellen at Waypoint Ruins Cellar. She explains that Starscourge Radahn must be defeated to open Nokron.

Step 5: Return to Blaidd at Siofra River and tell him what Sellen said.

Step 6: Defeat Starscourge Radahn which triggers a meteor falling and creating a crater.

Step 7: Travel to the crater in eastern Limgrave and enter Nokron, Eternal City. Progress through Nokron until you obtain the Fingerslayer Blade. Warning: If you hope to get the Magic Scorpion Charm, now is the time to do Seluvis's questline or you won't get it.

Step 8: Return to Ranni and give her the Fingerslayer Blade. She rewards you with the Carian Inverted Statue and leaves.

Step 9 (optional): Use the Carian Inverted Statue at the Carian Study Hall and reach the Divine Tower of Liurnia to obtain the Cursemark of Death. (Required for Fia's questline - Steps 7 & 8)

Step 10: Open Renna's Rise, the adjacent tower to Ranni's Rise, collect the Snow Witch Set, and use the waygate at the top to reach Ainsel River Main.

Step 11: Immediately after entering, pick up the Miniature Ranni doll and rest at the nearby Site of Grace. Select "Talk to miniature Ranni" three times until she responds.

Step 12: Continue through Nokstella and defeat the Baleful Shadow. Ranni rewards you with the Discarded Palace Key.

Step 13: Use the Discarded Palace Key to open the locked chest beside Rennala in the Raya Lucaria Grand Library, obtaining the Dark Moon Ring. Go pick it up now, as it is required in the next steps.

Step 14: Cross the Lake of Rot, reach the Grand Cloister, interact with the coffin, and defeat Astel, Naturalborn of the Void.

Step 15: Enter the Cathedral of Manus Celes, descend through the hole, and place the Dark Moon Ring on Ranni. Receive the Dark Moon Greatsword, completing Ranni's questline.

Step 16: You are now eligible for the Age of the Stars ending. At Fractured Marika, summon Ranni instead of interacting with Marika's body to activate the ending.

Before starting Preceptor Seluvis's questline, be wary that certain actions in this quest can break Nepheli Loux's questline (and subsequently the ending of Gatekeeper Gostoc's questline and Nepheli Loux's questline), and also break Ranni's questline unless you use Celestial Dew at Church of Vows afterwards. Also note that Seluvis's questline must be completed early as he will die after giving Ranni the Fingerslayer Blade (Step 8).

Step 1: Finish Steps 2 & 3 of Ranni's questline, then visit him immediately after at Seluvis's Rise tower west of Ranni's Rise.

Step 2: Speak with Seluvis to receive Seluvis's Potion. He instructs you to give it to Nepheli Loux but for Seluvis's questline it doesn't matter who drinks it.

Step 3: Decide what to do with the potion. Note that this poison incapacitates whoever drinks it and you will be able to obtain them as a Puppet, a special kind of Spirit Ash.

Potential recipients

• Give it to Gideon Ofnir to secretly dispose of it. (Safest Choice - Recommended if you want to keep progressing Nepheli Loux's questline and other tied-in questlines.)
• Give it to Nepheli Loux, permanently turning her into a puppet and breaking her questline.
• Give it to Dung Eater, permanently ending his questline but unlocking his puppet later. This can only be done during Step 7 of Dung Eater's questline and is an alternative to the normal Dung Eater ending.

Step 4: Return to Seluvis and report that the potion has been delivered.

Step 5: Find Seluvis's hidden puppet laboratory beneath the illusory floor in the ruins between Ranni's Rise and Renna's Rise. If you gave the potion to Nepheli Loux or Dung Eater, you can find them here as puppets. If you've progressed Sellen's questline to Step 10, she will be imprisoned here. Read the message inside the hidden lab, then return to Seluvis and ask him about it.

Step 6: Seluvis allows you to choose your first puppet Spirit Ash. (Jarwight or Finger Maiden Therolina.)

Step 7: Reload the area, speak to Seluvis again, reload once more, then purchase a second puppet using Starlight Shards. This unlocks the next stage of his quest.

Step 8: Seluvis asks you to retrieve the Amber Starlight from Altus Plateau. This item is located by going through a tunnel-like rock structure just northeast of Altus Highway Junction site of grace.

Step 9: Give Seluvis the Amber Starlight. He rewards you with the Magic Scorpion Charm. This is the only opportunity to obtain this talisman.

Step 10: Reload the area and receive the Amber Draught from Seluvis, who wants to give it to Ranni. You now have two options:

• Ignore the request and continue with the rest of Ranni's questline
• Attempt to give Ranni the Amber Draught, upon which she will kill you and the questline will temporarily break, along with Blaidd's questline. You can recover it by using Celestial Dew at the Church of Vows.

Step 11: Progress Ranni's questline to Step 8. Giving her the Fingerslayer Blade will trigger Seluvis dying. Find him dead at Seluvis's Rise.

Step 12 (optional): Visit Pidia at Caria Manor after Seluvis dies to witness the conclusion of his storyline and collect Pidia's drops.

Step 1: Meet War Counselor Iji at the Road to the Manor in northwestern Liurnia before meeting Ranni. He serves as a blacksmith and Somber Smithing Stone merchant.

Step 2: Join Ranni's service at Ranni's Rise and do Steps 2-3 from Ranni's questline.

Step 3: Continue ahead with Ranni's questline and do Steps 4-8, until you give Ranni the Fingerslayer Blade. Then speak to Iji again.

Step 4: Finish up with what is left and still doable from Blaidd's questline until you inevitably reach Blaidd's Step 12 when you have to fight him.

Step 5: Return to Iji and select the "Blaidd's Death" dialogue option. Exhaust his dialogue.

Step 6: Leave the area and return. Iji will be dead, leaving behind Iji's Bell Bearing and Iji's Mirrorhelm.

Millicent and Gowry's questlines are intertwined so we list them as one for clarity and brevity. Note that both endings of this questline yield missable talismans, more explained at Step 12.

Step 1: Meet Gowry at Gowry's Shack in Caelid before Sellia village and agree to help Millicent by finding the Unalloyed Gold Needle. He will give you Sellia's Secret.

Step 2: Defeat Commander O'Neil in the Swamp of Aeonia and obtain the Unalloyed Gold Needle.

Step 3: Return the needle to Gowry. Reload the area (or rest at a Site of Grace) and speak to him again to receive the repaired Unalloyed Gold Needle.

Step 4: Give the repaired Unalloyed Gold Needle to Millicent at the Church of the Plague. Rest at the nearby Site of Grace, exhaust her dialogue, and receive the Prosthesis-Wearer Heirloom. She has multiple bits of dialogue and you might need to reload the area a few times.

Step 5: Go back down into Gowry's Shack. Speak to Millicent there until her dialogue is exhausted. Reload the area - Millicent leaves, Gowry returns, and Gowry's shop expands.

Step 6: Go to The Shaded Castle. Jump into the main acid area and go up the tall ladder. Choose the rampart going north, follow it until you enter a tower with a chest. Loot the chest to get Valkyrie's Prosthesis.

Step 7: Find Millicent close to the Erdtree-Gazing Hill site of grace. Give her the Valkyrie's Prosthesis.

Step 8 (optional): Millicent can be summoned for the Godskin Apostle (Altus Plateau) Boss in Windmill Heights and Black Blade Kindred (Forbidden Lands) Boss.

Step 9: Millicent moves to the Ancient Snow Valley Ruins site of grace after entering Mountaintops of the Giants. Talk to her there.

Step 10: Enter Miquella's Haligtree and talk to Millicent at the Prayer Room site of grace in Elphael.

Step 11: Close to the Drainage Channel site of grace is a grey, annoying, acid-filled area with many small kindred of rot. Locate a side island you can reach, where a lesser Putrid Tree Spirit appears. Defeat it.

Step 12: Reload the area and again go to where you've fought the lesser Putrid Tree Spirit. You now have a decision.

• Good Ending (recommended): Help Millicent: Defeat four Millicent's Sisters NPC invaders and protect her. This gives you the Rotten Winged Sword Insignia and the Unalloyed Gold Needle back.
• Bad Ending: Invade Millicent to get Millicent's Prosthesis. This talisman only drops if you kill her here (or anytime after Step 8).

Step 13: After any ending, return to Gowry for Flock's Canvas Talisman and Gowry's Bell Bearing. You can kill him now for the items, if he isn't already dead.

Step 14 (only with Good Ending): Defeat Malenia, Blade of Miquella and reload the area. Go into her boss arena and use the Unalloyed Gold Needle on the scarlet flower for a Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone.

Using the Unalloyed Gold Needle on Malenia's Flower will give you the Miquella's Needle, which can be used in Dragonlord Placidusax's boss arena to reverse the Frenzied Flame ending.

Step 1: From Siofra River bottom level, use the northern elevator to reach this sub-area in Caelid. Go north to encounter The Great-Jar.

Step 2: There are 3 Red Summon Signs on the ground in front of him. You must defeat all 3 invaders in 1 run, without dying.

Step 3: Talk to The Great-Jar again to get the Great-Jar's Arsenal talisman.

Witch-Hunter Jerren doesn't have his own unique questline, instead he joins Sellen's questline from a certain point and his questline follows hers.

Step 1: Defeat Starscourge Radahn. At any point, before or after, complete Steps 1 - 5 from Sellen's questline.

Step 2: Find Sellen at Witchbane Ruins (south of Fourth Church of Marika site of grace in Weeping Peninsula). If she's not there, she is still at Waypoint Ruins cellar, talk to her there to make her move.

Step 3: Continue with Steps 6 - 11 from Sellen's questline.

Step 1: Reach the Bestial Sanctum in Dragonbarrow. The easiest way is by using the waygate in eastern Limgrave after beginning D, Hunter of the Dead's questline (Step 4).

Step 2: Give Deathroots to Gurranq as you find them. First four rewards are Clawmark Seal + Beast Eye, Beastial Sling, Bestial Vitality, Ash of War: Beast's Roar.

Step 3: After giving the 4th Deathroot, rest at a site of grace. Gurranq will become hostile. Fight him until he retreats and becomes friendly again. Do not kill him. Rest again.

Step 4: Continue giving the remaining 5 Deathroots. Rewards are: Beast Claw, Stone of Gurranq, Beastclaw Greathammer, Gurranq's Beast Claw, Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone.

Missable - collect before burning the Erdtree! You must finish Step 7 before burning the Erdtree or this questline will fail.

Step 1 (optional): Brother Corhyn appears at Roundtable Hold from the start of the game, but his questline truly starts after you first arrive to Altus Plateau.

Step 2: Speak to Corhyn on the road north of the Altus Highway Junction Site of Grace. He explains that he is searching for Goldmask.

Step 3: Find Goldmask on the broken Forest-Spanning Great Bridge. Speak to him (...), then return to Corhyn and tell him Goldmask's location.

Step 4: Reload the area. Corhyn moves on the bridge next to Goldmask and expands his shop with new Incantations.

Step 5: Enter Leyndell and find Corhyn and Goldmask just next to the colosseum in the southwestern part of the capital. Fully exhaust their dialogue. They will provide a riddle.

Step 6: Get the Golden Order Principia book from Erdtree Sanctuary (the item on the hanging chair). Bring the book to Brother Corhyn or Miriel at Church of Vows and buy the Law of Regression Incantation from them.

Step 7: Solve Goldmask's riddle before burning the Erdtree: Go to the Erdtree Sanctuary site of grace, go down the elevator and stairs and find a peculiar message on the ground saying "Regression". Stand on the message, face the statue and cast the Law of Regression Incantation. The message will change - read it again.

Step 8: Return to Goldmask and exhaust his dialogue. Speak to Corhyn afterward to unlock the Immutable Shield Incantation.

Step 9: Corhyn and Goldmask move to the bridge south of Stargazers' Ruins in the Mountaintops of the Giants. This is south of the Erdtree Avatar (Mountaintops) boss fight.

Step 10: Complete Crumbling Farum Azula and return to Leyndell, Ashen Capital.

Step 11: Find Goldmask near the cliffs below the Colosseum. Receive the Mending Rune of Perfect Order.

Step 12: Reload the area and go again to Goldmask's location to collect the Goldmask Set.

Step 13: Go back to Corhyn on the bridge near the Stargazers' Ruins. If he is not here, he can be found in Leyndell, Ashen Capital, near the large dragon's spear, but only if you previously offered him Tonic of Forgetfulness from Rya's questline. This is minor and doesn't affect the ending, as he will always refuse it.

Step 14: Exhaust Corhyn's dialogue, reload the area, and collect Corhyn's Bell Bearing and Corhyn's Robe.

Step 1: Reach Altus Plateau to unlock Dung Eater's room at the Roundtable Hold.

Step 2: Obtain at least one Seedbed Curse, then speak to Dung Eater at the Roundtable Hold. He gives you the Sewer-Gaol Key.

Step 3: Use the Sewer-Gaol Key to free Dung Eater from his cell in the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds beneath Leyndell.

Step 4: Return to the Roundtable Hold. Dung Eater is gone, leaving a message challenging you to meet him at the Outer Moat, south of the Leyndell Minor Erdtree.

Step 5: If you progressed Boggart's questline to at least Step 5, he will die here. If you want to save him, make sure to wait on his questline until after this Dung Eater's step is completed: Go to the Outer Moat in Leyndell and trigger the invasion. Defeat the invading Dung Eater. He drops the Sword of Milos.

Step 6: Return to the Roundtable Hold and speak to Dung Eater. He tells you to bring Seedbed Curses to his real body.

Step 7: Return to Dung Eater's body in the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds. You now have two options:

• Option 1: If you have Preceptor Seluvis's questline at Step 3, you can give him the Seluvis's Potion. You can immediately kill him for the Omen Set with no repercussions. Progress with Preceptor Seluvis's questline to unlock him as a Puppet. Be wary of not giving Ranni the Fingerslayer Blade or Seluvis will die.
• Option 2: Commit to the Blessing of Despair game ending. Give Dung Eater 5 Seedbed Curses and receive the Mending Rune of the Fell Curse from him. Reload the area and visit him again for the Omen Set.

Step 1: Complete Yura's questline as Shabriri takes over his body at the end of his questline - and this questline starts.

Step 2: Reach the Zamor Ruins Site of Grace in the Mountaintops of the Giants. Speak to Shabriri.

Step 3: He will direct you to join The Three Fingers and commit to the Frenzied Flame ending.

Step 4: Return to Shabriri's location at Zamor Ruins. He disappears, leaving behind the Ronin's Set.

Leda's questline is intertwined with other NPCs. It has a few missable items and you cannot get them all in a single playthrough. If you are aiming to get all the items in the most efficient way, help Hornsent and skip Ansbach in one playthrough and fully help Leda in another.

Step 1: Defeat Mohg, Lord of Blood Boss. Rest at the Cocoon of the Empyrean Site of Grace, speak with Needle Knight Leda until her dialogue is exhausted, then interact with Miquella's withered arm to enter the Realm of Shadow.

Step 2: Defeat the Divine Beast Dancing Lion in Belurat (Stagefront site of grace). Afterwards, locate and read the message Leda leaves behind.

Step 3: Continue to Castle Ensis and read Leda's second message near the Castle Ensis Checkpoint.

Step 4 (optional): Summon her for the fight against Rellana, Twin Moon Knight.

Step 5: Meet Leda at the Highroad Cross Site of Grace and exhaust all of her dialogue. Speak with Hornsent as well, resting at the Site of Grace if necessary until no new dialogue remains.

Step 6: Advance to Shadow Keep so you break Miquella's charm - then return to Highroad Cross and again exhaust Hornsent's and Leda's dialogue.

Step 7: Go into Shadow Keep and progress to Storehouse, First Floor site of grace. Turn back and spot two messages on the ground. You need to decide to either help Leda or Hornsent.

• Help Leda: Kill Hornsent and get Lacerating Crossed-Tree Talisman and continue Leda's questline
• Help Hornsent: Defend Hornsent and get Ash of War: Swift Slash
• Do nothing and continue: Quests progress but no rewards.

Step 8 (only if you've helped Leda): Another decision. Leda's target is now Ansbach.

• Help Leda: Attack Ansbach and get Ansbach's Set and Ansbach's Longbow. Talk to Leda again and get Retaliatory Crossed-Tree Talisman.
• Help Ansbach: Defend Ansbach and only get Ansbach's Longbow.

Step 9: Leda moves to the final NPC battle at Enir-Elim, after the Cleansing Chamber Anteroom site of grace.

Step 1: Meet Redmane Freyja at the Three-Path Cross. Exhaust her dialogue to learn about Miquella's Crosses and Hornsent.

Step 2 (optional): Summon Freyja to help defeat the Divine Beast Dancing Lion in Belurat.

Step 3: Exhaust Freyja's dialogue after the battle.

Step 4 (optional): Summon Freyja to assist against Rugalea, the Great Red Bear boss fight.

Step 5: Advance to Shadow Keep so you break Miquella's charm - then return to Three Path Cross and again exhaust Freyja's dialogue.

Step 6: (Optional) Summon Freyja for the Golden Hippopotamus boss fight at the entrance of Shadow Keep.

Step 7: Find Freyja on the seventh floor of the Specimen Storehouse and speak with her. She explains that she needs Sir Ansbach's help to understand an old text.

Step 8: Speak to Sir Ansbach on the first floor of the Specimen Storehouse about Freyja BEFORE giving him the Secret Rite Scroll (Ansbach's questline Step 7). This order is important to avoid disrupting Freyja's quest.

Step 9: Give Ansbach the Secret Rite Scroll, rest at a Site of Grace, then return to receive the Letter for Freyja.

Step 10: Deliver the Letter to Freyja and exhaust her dialogue. She rewards you with the Golden Lion Shield.

Step 11: Meet Freyja again during the final NPC battle at Enir-Elim, after the Cleansing Chamber Anteroom site of grace. After defeating her, collect Freyja's Greatsword and Freyja's Set from her body.

Step 1: Meet Hornsent at the Three-Path Cross Site of Grace in Gravesite Plain. Exhaust his dialogue to receive the Cross Map.

Step 2: Reach Scadu Altus and meet Hornsent again at the Highroad Cross Site of Grace. Exhaust his dialogue to receive the New Cross Map.

Step 3: Advance to Shadow Keep so you break Miquella's charm - then return to Highroad Cross and again exhaust Hornsent's and Leda's dialogue.

Step 4 (optional): Summon Hornsent as an ally for the Golden Hippopotamus boss.

Step 5: Before entering Messmer's boss arena, choose whether to assist Hornsent or Needle Knight Leda during their confrontation in Shadow Keep.

Step 6: Go into Shadow Keep and progress to Storehouse, First Floor site of grace. Turn back and spot two messages on the ground. You need to decide to either help Leda or Hornsent. This decision severely impacts Leda's questline and potential rewards - see Leda's Step 7.

• Help Leda: Kill Hornsent and get Lacerating Crossed-Tree Talisman and continue Leda's questline
• Help Hornsent: Defend Hornsent and get Ash of War: Swift Slash.
• Do nothing and continue: Quests progress but no rewards.

Step 7: If Hornsent is still alive (you didn't help Leda), continue to Messmer the Impaler. You may summon Hornsent for the fight. Doing so shifts the questline a bit but the rewards are the same.

Step 8: If you summoned Hornsent for Messmer the Impaler boss, Hornsent will invade near Church of the Bud. If you didn't summon him, he will appear in the final NPC battle at Enir-Elim, after the Cleansing Chamber Anteroom site of grace. In both cases, kill him and get Hornsent's Set, Soiled Loincloth and Falx.

Step 1: Speak with Sir Ansbach at the Main Gate Cross Site of Grace in Gravesite Plain. Exhaust his dialogue to receive information about Miquella’s Crosses. Also exhaust Sir Moore's dialogue nearby.

Step 2: (Optional) Visit all marked Miquella's Crosses for additional dialogue from Ansbach. Only possible before Miquella’s Great Rune is broken.

Step 3: Advance to Shadow Keep so you break Miquella's charm - then return to Main Gate Cross and again exhaust all available dialogue.

Step 4: Find Ansbach on the Storehouse, First Floor site of grace, then speak with him until all dialogue is exhausted.

Step 5: Speak with Redmane Freyja on the Storehouse, Seventh Floor before completing Ansbach's Step 7, if you want to complete Redmane Freyja's questline. This is described in Redmane Freyja's Step 8.

Step 6: Return to Ansbach, tell him about Freyja’s decision, then exhaust his dialogue.

Step 7: From Storehouse, Fourth Floor, go outside and towards the stairs. Spot a staircase on your left, use it and pick up the Secret Rite Scroll from the shelf.

Step 8: Reload the area, then speak with Ansbach again to receive the Letter for Freyja. Deliver it to Freyja and exhaust both of their dialogue.

Step 9: As soon as Leda's questline reaches Step 8, she will want to invade him near Storehouse, First Floor site of grace. This decision is connected to the second half of Leda's questline.

• Help Ansbach (gold sign): receive Ansbach’s Longbow. Ansbach survives and his quest continues.
• Help Leda (red sign): Ansbach dies, rewarding you with Ansbach’s Set and Ansbach’s Longbow.
• Ignore it: Ansbach's quest continues but no aforementioned rewards.
• Skip this entirely: Only possible if you've not helped Leda kill Hornsent in Step 7 of Leda's questline.

Step 10: If Ansbach survived and received the Secret Rite Scroll, summon him during the Enir-Ilim NPC battle. Speak with him afterward near the top of the elevator for additional dialogue.

Step 11 (optional): Summon Ansbach for the Promised Consort Radahn boss fight.

Step 12: After the battle, collect Ansbach’s Set and the Obsidian Lamina from the arena entrance.

Step 1: Meet Moore at the Main Gate Cross Site of Grace near Belurat. Speak with him, purchase something, then continue talking to unlock additional dialogue. Avoid attacking the friendly Forager Brood. Killing one causes Moore to warn you, while killing a second makes him invade. Defeating him ends his quest and rewards you with Moore's Bell Bearing, Verdigris Greatshield, and the Verdigris Set.

Step 2 (Optional): Visit Thiollier at the Pillar Path Cross Site of Grace, then return to Moore to receive the Black Syrup. Bring it back to Thiollier. Complete this before either NPC leaves their starting location, or the Black Syrup will become unobtainable. More described at Thiollier questline Step 2. This is necessary to do for one of the endings of the Dragon Communion Priestess's questline!

Step 3 (Optional): Collect all seven Forager Brood Cookbooks before breaking Miquella's Great Rune or making Moore's final choice. Speak to each friendly Forager Brood across the Realm of Shadow, including warming the shivering Pest north of the Church of the Crusade with a Warming Stone or Sunwarmth Stone. After obtaining Cookbook (4), return to Moore to receive Cookbook (7).

Step 4: Advance to Shadow Keep so you break Miquella's charm - then return to Sir Moore and again exhaust all available dialogue until he asks you a question about sadness. The answers are a decision.

• I don't know: Nothing happens until you return and answer again. Best option for stalling to collect every cookbook.
• Put it behind you (Recommended): advances his quest and causes him to appear later during the Enir-Ilim NPC battle.
• Remain sad forever: Moore will die after you reset. His body moves to Church of the Crusade northwest of Highroad Cross site of grace, where you can collect all of his rewards.

Step 5: If you chose "Put it behind you," Moore joins the final NPC battle in Enir-Ilim. Defeat him there to obtain Moore's Bell Bearing, Verdigris Greatshield, and the Verdigris Set.

Step 1: Obtain the Storeroom Key from a corpse atop a ladder past a waterfall, and speak with her before fighting the Divine Beast Dancing Lion to hear her unique pre-boss dialogue.

Step 2 (optional): Find Hornsent Grandam inside the locked Storeroom near the Small Private Altar Site of Grace in Belurat, Tower Settlement. Exhaust their dialogue.

Step 3: Defeat the Divine Beast Dancing Lion boss, then equip the Divine Beast Head before returning to Hornsent Grandam.

Step 4: With the Divine Beast Head equipped, exhaust Grandam's dialogue to get the Watchful Spirit incantation and a Scorpion Stew.

Step 5 (optional): Give a Scorpion Stew to Hornsent to receive 3 Furnace Visages.

Step 6: After defeating Messmer the Impaler, return to Hornsent Grandam with the Divine Beast Head still equipped. Speak with her to receive a Gourmet Scorpion Stew.

Step 7 (optional): Rest at a Site of Grace and revisit her. She will be asleep, allowing you to pick up one additional Gourmet Scorpion Stew. This is the only way to obtain this consumable.

Step 1: Defeat Fire Knight Queelign during his first invasion in Belurat. He drops the Crusade Insignia talisman.

Step 2: Defeat Queelign again when he invades at the Church of the Crusade northwest of Highroad Cross site of grace. This rewards you with the Prayer Room Key and the Ash of War: Flame Skewer.

Step 3: Use the Prayer Room Key to unlock the Prayer Room in the Church District of Shadow Keep, where you will find Queelign in person.

Step 4: Speak with Queelign and choose one of the following rewards:

• Give him the Iris of Grace to receive the Fire Knight Queelign Spirit Ashes.
• Give him the Iris of Occultation to receive Queelign's Greatsword.
  Note that one Iris should also be given to Jolán at the end of Jolán's questline (Step 3).

Step 1: Meet Thiollier at the Pillar Path Cross Site of Grace and speak with him.

Step 2 (optional): If you also speak with Moore afterward, Moore will give you the Black Syrup, which can be delivered to Thiollier to receive Thiollier's Concoction. This must be done before Thiollier leaves the area. More described at Sir Moore's questline Step 2. This is necessary to do for one of the endings of the Dragon Communion Priestess's questline!

Step 3: Advance to Shadow Keep so you break Miquella's charm - then return to Thiollier back at Pillar Path Cross and again exhaust all available dialogue.

Step 4: Reach the Garden of Deep Purple at the end of Stone Coffin Fissure after defeating the Putrescent Knight boss.
