Are you looking to make the most out of your gameplay experience in ELDEN RING? Look no further! Torzonborzi has put together an easy-to-follow guide and map for those who prefer to explore freely without strict step-by-step instructions. This guide will help prevent you from losing important items and messing up NPC questlines. Plus, it includes helpful notes on gameplay, the world, and character building. Get ready to maximize your playthrough with this comprehensive guide!
Introduction
In order to support the open world experience I created this guide where I focus mainly on fail conditions. The main part of the guide is the map. As long as you keep track of the points on the map you can roam freely and still satisfy your 100% OCD in every field of the game.
On the map you can see the warnings, so it will become child’s play to prevent any mistake. About the steps before and after the warning signs for the questlines you should read here or online.
How to use this guide:
- Open the map.
- Start playing the game.
- Roam freely.
- Once in a while just check the map. If you are getting closer to one of the points, act according to the related information.
- Regret roaming freely, and go back for your runes.
To avoid spoilers, I would still advise you to ignore guides on your first playthrough.
Map
Steam guides have a 2MB / picture limit, so in order to ensure the resolution I had to upload it as “Steam Artwork” where the picture limit is 5MB. The link below leads you to the map on my Steam profile.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3146386300
Download method for the map is written down in the description of the map.
Advice I wish I had when I was a beginner:
- Holding the switch item button will make your item list to jump back to the first item on the list. (Keep your Flask of Crimson Tear there.)
- After a consumable is used made from a Perfume Bottle, Cracked Pot or Ritual Pot an empty bottle / pot will go back to the player’s inventory, so you can use these items without limits. You only have to worry about the other components in the crafting process.
- Use Rainbow Stones to measure the safety of your jumps. Throw it down. If it breaks it means the fall damage would kill you. If it shines it means jumping is safe.
- These marks are the locations where you can find maps.
- Fia has to hug you in order to proceed in some questlines. Each time she hugs you will give you a Baldachin’s Blessing. You get a debuff just for having this in your inventory. Using this item ends the debuff, use it!Riding related tips:
- You are immune to the different terrain effects such as rot or poison while riding Torrent.
- While riding you can jump off from any height as long as you land on Spiritsprings. These are not only jumping but also landing platforms.
- While riding you can also attack to your left side using the attack buttons on the left.
- While riding you can also do charged attacks while holding down the suitable attack button.

*: Only increase the attack of the weapons that scale with the Arcane stat. Usually it should also increase the debuff build up rate of the weapon.
Wandering Mausoleums
Understanding the usage of the Wandering Mausoleums is crucial.
To make them usable (Spoiler) you have to either jump on them and clean the skulls off from the building, or you have to clear the skulls from the front legs of the Mausoleum.
Duplication rules:
– You can duplicate Remembrances even after claiming a reward for them.
– You can only claim every reward once / playthrough.
– You can use every Mausoleum only once.
– It is possible to duplicate a Remembrance, claim the reward, and bring the copy with you to the new game+. You can immediately claim your reward for it in the new game after meeting with Finger Reader Enia in the Roundtable Hold. (Fast dual wield.)
– Mausoleums without a bell are only able to duplicate Remembrances of bosses without Great Runes. Mausoleums with bells are able to duplicate any Remembrances.
Because of the importance of the last point, first you must always find a use for the two Mausoleums without bells! You should use the list below to match your needs from the Remembrances without great runes with the two Mausoleums without bells first.
In the table below Mausoleums without bells and Remembrances without Great Runes are underlined.

8. Defeat Godskin Noble in Temple of Eiglay to get the Serpent’s Amnion.
9. Give the Serpent’s Amnion to Rya. She will disappear from the manor.
10. (OPTIONAL) Speaking to Lady Tanith will unlock a new dialog option. She will give you the Tonic of Forgetfulness, and will ask you to give it to the upset Rya.
Notes for step 10.:
- If you skip this step, you can still find the Tonic at the end of Tanith’s questline on the chair where Tanith sat.
- You can also offer the Tonic to Brother Corhyn at the Stargazers’ Ruins for his alternative ending. Although the Tonic will remain in your inventory.
11. Zoraya has moved to the Legacy Dungeon’s interior. If you have fully unlocked the area, you can reach it by taking the wooden elevator next to the Temple of Eiglay, getting off at a hidden doorway just below the lift’s highest point, and heading straight through the rooms beyond until you jump over the lava.
12. She asks you to kill her. Ending options:
A., If you kill her, she will drop the Daedicar’s Woe.
B., If you leave her alive and return after killing Rykard, she realizes that you are not willing to kill her. When you reset the area, she will be gone leaving Daedicar’s Woe and Zoraya’s letter behind in her place.
C., If you give her the Tonic of Forgetfulness, she will fall asleep. After Rykard is killed and the Manor’s inhabitants have all left, she will return to her original location in the Manor. Exhaust her dialogue and reload the area to find Daedicar’s Woe in her place.
Blackguard Big Boggart
Wiki link: Here[eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com]
Steps of the Quest
Fail Condition(s)
1. Reach the second step in Rya’s questline by buying back her necklace from Boggart.
1. You must meet Rya first, and then you have to buy Rya’s necklace back from him. Give it back to Rya. If you do not buy the necklace, it will prevent Boggart progressing in his questline.
2. Buy Boiled Prawns from him. This befriends him and progresses his questline.
3. Speak with him in the outer moat of Layndell nearest the Capital Rampart, selling Boiled Crabs. At that point he will warn you about the Dung Eater.
4. If the Dung Eater’s questline is at the point where he will be “waiting in the outer moat” and the blackguard is present in Leyndell, exhaust Big Boggart’s dialogue here until he says he thinks the Dung Eater is lurking somewhere nearby. At this point, if you reload the area interacting with the wounded Boggart, it will trigger the invasion.
Note for step 4.: This Seedbed Curse can be missed if Boggart is not in this area when you reach the point in the Dung Eater’s questline where he is “waiting in the outer moat”. With the missing of this one Seedbed Curse the related ending luckily is still possible.
5. A Seedbed Curse will be found on Big Boggart’s body at the end of his questline, along with his drops. If you have been invaded by the Dung Eater in the moat before Boggart moves there, you will be unable to get a Seedbed Curse from his body.

3. When you free the Dung Eater, a new message appears in Roundtable Hold suggesting you to meet him at the Outer Moat so that he could kill you.
Note for step 3.: If you do not wish to do his ending, it is worth considering to kill him the moment you free him for his drops.
4. Defeating him rewards you with Furlcalling Finger Remedy and Sword of Milos.
Note for step 4.: If you progress in Blackguard Big Boggart’s questline to the point where he also reaches that area, it means that you can get the Seedbad Curse from him. (Read his questline for further info.)

Note to step 9.: Giving the Fingerslayer blade back to Ranni will end Seluvis’s questline. It is worth getting the Magic Scorpion Charm from Seluvis before doing that.
10. Go to the Carian Study Hall[eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com], and use the statue to reach the top of the Divine Tower of Liurnia. Acquire the Cursemark of Death here from the body on the top.

4. Give the potion to either Gideon Ofnir, Nepheli or the Dung Eater, and then report to Seluvis, so that you can purchase sorceries from him.

Note to step 8.: If you dispose of the potion with Gideon Ofnir, you can freely do the Seluvis questline without consequences to the point where he gives you the Magic Scorpion Charm and the Amber Draught. Giving the Amber to Ranni ends Ranni’s questline.
9. Give the Amber Draught to Ranni. (You can try to use a Celestial Dew to continue Ranni’s questline.)
10. Seluvis will be found dead in his tower and Pidia will be killed by his puppets once you get near to his location. You can get their related drops from their corpses.
Boc the Seamster
Wiki link: Here[eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com]
Steps of the Quest
Fail Condition(s)
1. Free Boc from his tree form with a dodge roll here[mapgenie.io] in Limgrave. This location can be found south of the Agheel Lake North grace.
1. If you miss to use the “You’re Beautiful” Prattling Pate latest at the Altus Highway Junction Site of Grace, he will offer options later in his questline that may result in his death, unabling him from redesigning armors for you.
2. Talk to Boc at the west side of Limgrave in the Coastal Cave. Defeat the boss of the cave and return the sewing tools to him.
3. Boc will move to other Sites of Grace in the following order: (Locations are skippable.):

- East Raya Lucaria Gate
- Altus Highway Junction[mapgenie.io]
(Point of quest fail condition.) - East Capital Rampart
Tip: The “You’re beautiful” Prattling Pate can be found on a corpse nearby a house at Hermit Village. To reach the Village, you have to make a full circle around the volcano. Start from the Seethewater River Site of Grace[mapgenie.io], and follow the road that leads you in between the mountains till its end.
4. Collect the Gold Sewing Needle in the Church of Vows.
5. Have an alterable boss armor in your inventory you bought from Enia.
6. Visit Boc at any of the above Sites of Grace and give him the Gold Sewing Needle to allow him the alteration of boss armors.
7. If you haven’t used the “You’re Beautiful” Prattling Pate yet, Boc will voice his desure to be rebirthed by Rennala at the East Capital Rampart.
Quest ending options:
A: Immediately use the “You’re Beautiful” Prattling Pate, and speak with him.
B: Give him a Larval Tear. Upon resting, Boc will appear next to Rennala. Resting again will make him die.
C: Do neither of the options above. This will move him right outside of Raya Lucaria Grand Library, ending the questline.

Wiki link: Here[eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com]
Steps of the Quest
Fail Condition(s)
1. Talk with Diallos at Roundtable Hold.
