The ninth and final Deathroot rewards an Ancient DragonSmithing Stone.

When you feed Gurranq a fourth Deathroot, he will attack you the next time you return.

Deal enough damage and he will submit.

His quest ties in closely to Jar-Bairns which we will cover next.

The quest rewards you with Enshas Royal Remains armor set and the Clinging Bone weapon.

However, this quest contains another point-of-no-return to watch out for.

Additionally, if you give her Seluvis potion then her quest will fail.

Kenneth Haight quest steps

Kenneths quest has mercifully few steps.

Sorcerer Rogier quest steps

Sorcerer Rogiers quest is an odd one.

The quest has little reward of its own.

However, it has fascinating lore implications and links into extra steps in Fia and Ds questlines.

Later steps also require you to speak with Ranni.

Hyetta quest steps

Hyettas quest nudges the player towards the Three Fingers and the Frenzied Flame ending.

Youll need to deliver grapes to her in four different locations.

If you do acquire the Flame, Melina will leave you and Hyetta will replace her as your maiden.

Tanith in Elden Ring’s Volcano Manor

It is entirely possible to acquire both pieces of the medallion without ever meeting Latenna.

it’s possible for you to do the first two steps of Latennas quest in any order.

If this happens, you will be unable to start her quest.

Elden Ring screenshot of the NPC Dung Eater

We recommend completing the first two steps of this quest as soon as you reach Liurnia to be safe.

You absolutely must meet Rya in Liurnia before visiting Volcano Manor, else you will instantly fail both quests.

Then, you must complete all Volcano Manor steps before killing Rykard.

However, you must also acquire the Tonic of Forgetfulness before finishing the third and final Tanith assassination.

Take extra caution with this quest.

As mentioned in the Rya section, you must also speak to Rya in Liurnia to start this quest.

Jar-Bairn quest steps

Jar-Bairn is a friendly jar who helps wrap up Diallos and Alexanders quests.

Be warned that starting Rannis quest ends Rogiers quest.

If you want to experience his questline in full, you will have to finish it first.

His questline even includes an option to betray Ranni and end her quest.

Rannis quest also contains a point-of-no-return that ends Seluvis quest.

Once you deliver the Fingerslayer Blade to Ranni, Seluvis will die and his quest will end.

Absolution cannot undo this.

Gowry quest steps

Gowrys quest is functionally an extension of Millicents.

Tanith quest steps

Tanith hands out assassination assignments for Rykards Volcano Manor cult.

These reward some unique weapons and spells, but you will have to complete them before killing Rykard.

Defeating Rykard immediately skips you to the final stage of Taniths questline, including all preceding rewards.

Take note that the Leyndell Seedbed Curses will not be present in Leyndell, Ashen Capital.

You must acquire these before defeating Malekith.

Shabriri quest steps

Shabriri is another agent of the Frenzied Flame who takes over Yuras body.

As soon as you reach Shabriris first location, Yura is gone for good.

Be sure to avoid this if you want to finish Yuras questline.

That wraps up our guide on all Elden Ring side quests.
