ELDEN RING: Optimized Questline Walkthrough

This walkthrough is meant to guide you through the game in such a way where you can complete every questline and obtain every unique reward from them as optimally as possible. So there should be nothing unnecessary within this guide and it will take you from location to location without consideration for level or build. Given that, you may need to do side objectives and leveling for your personal run, but you can just continue following from where you left off. It still takes at least 2 playthroughs to get everything, but the missed unique items can be gotten fairly early. I will explain at what points the questlines allow the choice between rewards to be made.

WARNING: My personal recommendation is not to use this walkthrough for your very first playthrough, and instead use it for new characters after you’ve played through the game at least once.
