Elden Ring NPC | Guide to characters and side missions (Quest)

All the characters of Elden Ring and their missions - Just like in Bloodborne, and pretty much like any self-respecting FromSoftware game, even in Elden Ring there are some secondary missions that will be entrusted to you by the numerous characters you will meet on your way and of which the game does not keep any trace. However, these secret quests are one of the real strengths of Miyazaki's productions and facing them will make you get really strong items.



—All missions are updated to the latest patch—

Someone calls them Patti, someone with the term Covenants and someone else still faces them without even realizing their existence. The fact is that these secondary missions are very important within the game also because they carry on the whole system of secondary plots. In this Elden Ring NPC mission guide we will see the better choices to make and what to do to fulfill each character's requests.

Elden Ring Side Quests: General Info

Before starting you must keep in mind that there are 3 sacrosanct principles that govern all the secondary missions of the game, so if reading what is written in this guide the mission does not go ahead, surely you must continue following one of these principles:



  • Explore / Talk - To unlock or proceed on a given mission, you must have reached a certain location, obtained a certain item or talked to a series of characters until their dialogue options are exhausted. Do not get too excited about these missions because it is useless and many of them require you to continue with the plot of the game as well;
  • Scegliere - Don't think you can do them all. Or rather, don't think you can get a good ending for every NPC. Most missions will force you to make a choice that will very often invalidate another character's mission. Don't worry, there is always a reward for everything, only some are better than others;
  • Don't Attack - Some characters can also be found outside the Round Table. If you attack them or if you get a shot you could invalidate the entire quest of the character who will automatically consider you an enemy. However, there are also some NPCs that it is better to get rid of immediately so as not to run into additional difficulties later. Here too, choosing will be fundamental. If you ruin the relationship with some characters, however, you can always go to the Church of the Vows in Liurnia ed atone for your sins using the present statue (and the Moon Tear item that you can find at the Ainsel River or buy from the merchant in the same location). You can quickly reach the church by teleporting in the Raya Lucaria Academy.

In letting you drive, I remind you that this is it split for NPCs (Non-player characters) that you will encounter in the game and who have a mission to offer. We will show you where to find them, which characters are connected to them, what to do to continue in the quest and the rewards that can be obtained. Good Luck Senzaluce!

In the church you will find the virgin you are looking for. Also be careful around the village as there will be a fireball on a tower that inflicts madness.

Elden Ring NPC | Guide to characters and side missions (Quest)

WARNING: This mission is very long and could damage your relationship with Ranni, so be sure to complete her quests first.

WHERE: in the first room of the corridor on the right at the Round Table.

RELATED CHARACTERS: D, hunter of the dead, Rogier, Ranni.

WHAT TO DO: initially Fia will give you hugs that add the object to the inventory Blessing of the Canopy. A consumable that sacrifices some AP to slightly increase stability. Talk to her often after using the Blessing to unlock new dialogue options. Each hug will also cause you a small debuff in terms of life points that can be restored using the blessing. Now you can choose two paths to continue in her quest, the long way (and not recommended) and the fast road.

It is still NOT too clear what triggers one procedure rather than another but both paths lead to the same conclusion only the long way adds the whole Black Grapho dagger part and the flutter of passing between Ranni and Rogier. Below you will find both paths, you just have to understand which one you have taken.

-Long road-

Meet D in Idrocanto, you meet Rogier Storm Storm Castle and then talk to both of them again at the Round Table after defeating Godrick. Talk to Fia who will ask you to retrieve a Black Grapho dagger which is located in the Catacomb of the Black Knives at the far north of Liurnia Lacustre (if you look at the map you simply have to follow the path in the rock to the left of the tree). Take the Dagger show it to Rogier, he will tell you about the Death Mark and the Witch Ranni. Then go north of Liurnia, pass the Caria manor and in the area called Tre Sorelle talk to Ranni who, however, will not want to know anything about you. Go back to Rogier who will insist on Ranni and then to Ranni to finally get you to be accepted into his ranks. Now you will have to proceed in the mission of Ranni, which you can always find in this guide, until you get the Cursed Brand. Now continue with POINT 2 of the short road.

-Cut road-

DO NOT talk to D in Idrocanto but visit the city. Meet Rogier Storm Storm and defeat Godrick. In all of this, always remember to embrace Fia and carry out D's mission by talking to him at the Round Table until he takes you to Gurranq.

POINT 2: Dead Godrick (or visiting the Altus Plateau, it's unclear) hugging Fia will unlock the “Can I ask you a favor?” Option. The woman will ask you to return the item Worn Dagger, which you will receive, to the person to whom it belonged. The owner of the Dagger is D give it to him and he will tell you that he will think about it. Rest and D will have disappeared from his usual place and Fia as well. You can see the door, at the end of the hall where Hewg the blacksmith is, open. Inside, on the ground, you will find D's corpse killed by some black tentacles. Examining him you can get the mighty armor of him and the Globo of Gray di D. There will also be Fia next door that she is a servant of death and she thanks to you she has just eliminated one of the death hunters. Fia will never return to the Canopy.

IMPORTANT: Fia will wait on the canopy until the Giant Forge is activated, then his quest will be lost.

If you don't give the potion to Nepheli, you can continue in her quest. The woman seems shaken by her father's choices and she will need a sign. This sign is a particular ash, that of the Re Falco which you can find in Chapel of the Waiting, the one where you start the game. To reach it, see our guide to Quattro Campanili.

Elden Ring NPC | Guide to characters and side missions (Quest)

If you talk to him until you run out of dialogue, APPARENTLY, he will die. Knowing Patches though it is definitely a trick because when they die the merchants on Elden Ring leave an ashen orb and he doesn't leave it. Furthermore, any dead characters disappear as if they were made of ashes while Patches just disappears at the next rest at the place of grace. Moreover the item he gives you, at the moment, seems useless with Tanith.

WARNING: The 1.04 Patch, extends the Patches quest again.

After the previous steps go back to Aquafosca cave in Sepolcride, where you first met him. Just like then you can decide whether to kill him, and get his ashen orb or not attack him by waving at him until the fight ends automatically. You will thus get the Gesture - Position of Patches. Resting and returning to the area you will find that he will have reopened his shop.

REWARD: Magma Whip Candelabra, Set - Armor of the Great Horns, Gesture - Prostrate (if you spare it), Gesture - Patches stance.

WARNING: If you cleared Fia's quest first and ask Ranni about the Cursed Mark, she will kick you out.

  • Curse of the Nursery 3: Leyndell, Capital. In the area called Fortified Manor, there is a room that resembles that of the Eater at the Round Table, here is a corpse with the Curse of the Nursery.
  • Curse of the Nursery 4: In Elphael (see Millicent quest to find out how to get there), from the Hall of Prayer go northeast and go down the stairs then jumping right over the sloping arch where the enemy is looking down from the balcony. Then jump left towards the scarab and climb the arch to the left again. You will come to a balcony with a corpse that contains the object.
  • Curse of the Nursery 5: Also in Elphael starting from the Hall of Prayer, go north-east and go down the stairs until you reach the room with the two knights. Do not enter this room, but jump from the ledge to the right (just below the first sloping arch you jumped on for the previous curse). Drop down to your right and you will land on a roof. Turn around and enter the door under the arch. Finally go down the stairs to the right and then in the northeast corner of the room, just at the bottom of the ledge, is a corpse with the object.
