Summary

• Side quests reveal interesting characters, stories, and rewards, giving you plenty of options to explore.
• Elden Ring (and any FromSoft game, really) has a habit of making side quests hard to find or complete.
• New quests in Shadow of the Erdtree expand the world and offer a fresh experience, keeping the game engaging.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Elden Ring is a rare example of an open-world game teeming with things to do in every corner of its🦄 sprawling and haunted world. Fo💎r the most part, it's terrifying monsters that want to murder you in every conceivable way. But you will find the occasional friendly NPC that will add to your ever-increasing list of things to do in the game.

It can be tough to sort out what to do and what to skip if you're planning on skipping anything at all instead of just putting 90+ hours into this game. Regardless, let's break down some of the most interesting side quests you can embark uponꦆ based on interesting characters, stories, and great rewards you can receive.

Updated on July 11, 2024, by Alfredo Robelo: With the release of Shadow of the Erdtree, several new side quests have been added that expand the world of the Lands Between. We’ve updated this list to include a few new quests, as well as updating the information on the old quests.

16 Roderika

Upgrading Your Spirit Ashes

is one of the most useful allies for your adventure 🌊since even when you first meet her at the Stormhill Shack, she already gives you a Spirit Ash capable of poisoning enemies. Once you complete her quest, she’ll be at Roundtable Hold, and she’ll be the way you upgrade Spirit Ashes from now on.

Beyond her usefulness, Roderika’s story is about finding her own way through hardship, having lost all of her 🍸companions in Stormveil Castle. She forms a friendship with Smithing Master Hewg, but their endin🉐g is quite somber since it is implied that they die once you pick your ending.

15 🔯 Boc The Seamster ꦺ

Altering Your Garments For Free

can be very useful if you want to alter your armor often, since if he alters it for you, you don’t have to pay the 500 rune fee for doing it yourself. You 🍨can give him both the sewing needle and the gold sewing needle, letting him alter both normal armor and armor acquired from bosses.

Even if you “give” him a sewing needle, it will still be in 𝓡your inventory, letting you pay the 500 rune fee if you don't feel like going back to Boc.

His quest, like most other quests, ends tragically, but you can put some extra effort into giving Boc a happy ending. Once he makes it to Rennala, use the "You're 𓆉Beautiful" Prattling Pate near him, stopping him😼 from undergoing a fatal transformation and letting him be happy just the way he is.

14 Sorceress Sellen And Witch Hunter Jerren ജ

You Can’t Do Both Quests

This side quest will award you different items depending on whether you choose to side with or during the quest's climactic choice. This is a very complicated side quest as it involves finding multiple illusory walls to complete - ෴definitely best done with a guide 🤪if you don't want to spend hours hacking away in random corners.

While you're free to choose whichever path you'd prefer, for story reasons, item reasons, or otherwise, the only way to get the armor sets for both characters (in𝐆 a single playthr☂ough) is to side with Sellen and kill Jerren.

13 Thops

The Mage Apprentice

Thops' side quest is a bittersweet story (mostly bitter, because that's Elden Ring) that'll get you access to some good spells if you're wil🐈ling to venture into the weird corners you have to find to get🐎 this quest's key item.

Thops is an apprentice sorcerer who just wants to get back to his work researching the magical arts. This is why it is equal parts tragic and🦩 wonderful when you recover his key and get him access once again to the previously sealed academy, only to find him dead later at his desk, killed by who knows what✃. You should love the Thops's Barrier spell, though.

10 🤡 Dung Eater

A Murderous Ending

Yes. His name really is the . And once you complete his side quest, you'll start taking him much more seriously than most do just ๊after hearing his name alone. His side quest is one of the few ones that gives you a rune to unlock a secret ending.

You’ll have to find and 🍸deliver five Seedbed Curses to the Dung Eater, who will curse and threaten you the entire time. After giving him all five, you'll get a rune that unlocks a gritty ending, and you can obtain the Dung Eater's disgusting-looking armor set.

9 👍 Corhy♌n And Goldmask

The Truth Of The Golden Order

Following Corhyn’s quest line will have you meeting , and your interactions with these two characters will reveal a secret hid𒀰den at the heart of the Golden Order. This secret is also revealed to you at the final fight of the game, but having characters to discuss it with is worth going through the journey.

This isn’t the only thing revealed to you, however, since Goldmask finds a way to have a perfect Golden Order, one not based around a god but an ideal. This translates to one of the many endings to Elden Ring, one that, when you look closely, seems like one of the nicer♓ endings to the game.

8 Patches

The Recurring Character

makes a surprising return in Elden Ring, starting off as a boss fight but soon asking for ಞmercy. Grant it, and you’ll be involved in a long quest chain filled with betrayal, teleporting traps, and NPC invasions that grant you the best armor sets in the game.

Don’t wait too long beℱfore꧙ meeting Patches, since, if you are too high level, you might kill him before he gets a chance to ask for mercy.

This is because you can “join” Patches on his jour🤡ney to Volcano Manor, with his quest being intertwined with the invasion missions g♛iven by Tanith. She might even work as a love interest for Patches, a level of affection uncommon for him, but not unseen, if we consider Greirat from Dark Souls 3.

7 Igon

Curse You, Bayle!

In Shadow of the Erdtree, there is a path leading to the Jagged Peak filled with draconic dangers. As you climb, you’ll encounter Igon, a man who was nearly killed after his encounter with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Bayle the Dread, one of the hardest boss fights of the DLC.

The intensity of Igon’s dialogue elevates this side quest from “alright” to “one of the greatest interactions of the game,” even if you don’t exchange too many w🔴ords with Igon. Feel free to summon him during the Bayle fight, since his summon doesn’t buff Bayle or count towards the limit of summons you can ha⛦ve.
