Quick Links
Elden Ring's NPC quest lines enrich the game's world with intricate lore and unlock new areas that remain hidden without these quests. FromSoftware's storytelling style is enigmatic, with no map or quest markers, making it challenging to naturally discover how to start every Elden Ring NPC quest.
With nearly 30 interconnected NPC quests, Elden Ring offers players a vast array of narrative paths to explore. Below, you'll find a concise overview of each quest line, along with links to complete walkthroughs for every Elden Ring NPC quest.
