Hearth Knight Queelign is an NPC in Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC — a hostile fellow who provides you with some grief whereas wielding a flaming spear. As is the case with nearly all NPCs within the Elden Ring DLC, this chap who’s infatuated with Messmer has a aspect quest with a number of steps, so long as you already know the place to search out him.

He could be relentless, as he assaults repeatedly, barely supplying you with room to breathe, however following his quest all the way in which to the tip nets you one among two very respectable rewards.

On this Elden Ring DLC information, we’ll present you each step of the right way to full the Hearth Knight Queelign quest, together with all Hearth Knight Queelign places and an explainer on whether or not you need to give him the Iris of Grace or the Iris of Occultation.

Hearth Knight Queelign first location in Elden Ring DLC

The primary time you’ll encounter Hearth Knight Queelign is in Belurat, although he’s utterly missable in the event you don’t go down the right path.

From the Small Personal Altar Web site of Grace, both kill or look ahead to the ridiculously powerful knight with a sword in every hand to stroll previous, then go up the steps and take a right-hand flip previous some rubble. There’ll be a couple of shadow people to kill — these are ones that aggro as soon as they see you, quite than the passive mumbling-in-the-corner-and-happy-to-be-stabbed-in-the-back ones — you then’ll enter an space with an unlimited tree within the center.

Hearth Knight Queelign will invade after a couple of seconds, chatting about how “thou shalt not evade the flame of Messmer.” His assaults embrace a ranged homing fireball, a regular thrust together with his spear, a leaping thrust, and an upswing that culminates in a fiery explosion. If you happen to get hit as soon as, although, simply be sure to place a ways between you so you may get a heal off. Plus, if in case you have a ranged assault, he’s simply staggered.

Killing him rewards you with the Ash of Battle: Flame Skewer, plus the Prayer Room Key, which is crucial for the final a part of the hunt. Subsequent although, you have to discover him once more.

Hearth Knight Queelign second location in Elden Ring DLC

The second time you’ll discover Hearth Knight Queelign is on the Church of the Campaign in Scadu Altus, which — in the event you didn’t discover him in your preliminary journey by way of Belurat — may very well be your first time.

(Of word: Hearth Knight Queelign will present up on the Church of the Campaign, even in the event you haven’t already fought him as soon as. That is the order I encountered him in. It should come after you’ve crushed Rellana, Twin Moon Knight, or taken the aspect path round Citadel Ensis to skip that struggle.)

The quickest method to the Church of the Campaign is from the Highroad Cross Web site of Grace, on the opposite aspect of Citadel Ensis.

Comply with the street then peel off left to the large church on the sting of the cliff. Head inside and Queelign will invade once more, stating “these stripped of the Grace of Gold shall all meet loss of life.” This struggle is just about equivalent to the opposite, and killing him this time rewards you with the Campaign Insignia, together with a Scadutree Fragment on the foot of the statue and a Rune Arc on the corpse to the left.

Hearth Knight Queelign third location in Elden Ring DLC

Whereas you might want to discover Hearth Knight Queelign yet another time to complete the hunt, you don’t have to struggle him once more, fortunately. He could be discovered within the flooded space of Shadow Preserve.

If you happen to haven’t absolutely explored that space but, the quickest means there may be to move by way of Moorth Ruins, clear Bonny Village (the place you may get the “O Mom” gesture), then trip on Torrent all over the Church District. When you’ve got made it to the Specimen Storeroom, although, you may also discover your method to the flooded part by way of there, though I wouldn’t suggest it as a result of these enemies in pink hoods are a dime a dozen, and immensely irritating to struggle.

You’re in search of the Church District Entrance Web site of Grace, which is the place you’ll find yourself in the event you observe the street all over, driving previous packs of wolves and a shock Furnace Golem. Preserve driving and also you’ll get there unscathed.

From the location of grace, you might want to make your means throughout the rooftops. Leap over to the part in entrance of you — the one with the courtyard within the center — then make your method to the opposite aspect and leap to the following constructing. Beware on this rooftop and the next ledge, as a result of these exploding zombie-like enemies that litter the trail as much as Mohg, Lord of Blood within the base sport will seem out of the bottom.

On the third rooftop, a kind of cloaked pink chaps that proved to be an enormous ache within the Specimen Storeroom will begin advancing in direction of you. When you’ve got a ranged assault, I recommend swiftly hopping again on the ledge from whence you got here, firing from afar, then hiding behind the column popping out of the wall when the fireballs come your means.

Within the southeast nook of this constructing, leap onto the diagonal beam, and don’t get scared by the large tree monster shifting beneath you. It received’t assault in the event you don’t draw its consideration. Climb as much as the highest — watch out with the soar on the finish, as it may be finicky, coming from somebody who fell off the primary time — then proceed to the outlet within the roof.

In right here, drop down onto the roof beams, and once more onto the ground. Don’t undergo the doorway close to the 2 crabs as it will begin the patrol of one other cloaked pink chap; as a substitute, go to the alternative nook to discover a locked door. Use the Prayer Room Key and head in to search out Hearth Knight Queelign.

Must you give Hearth Knight Queelign the Iris of Grace or Occultation?

You’ll discover Queelign curled up in a ball, begging Queen Marika to grant him grace. Communicate to him and, offered you’ve acquired one among every, you can provide him both the Iris of Grace or the Iris of Occultation. Giving him the Iris of Grace primarily lets him ascend, whereas the Iris of Occultation kills him.

• Giving him the Iris of Grace will reward you with the Hearth Knight Queelign Spirit Ashes, so you possibly can summon him in battle.
• Giving him the Iris of Occultation provides you Hearth Knight Queelign’s Greatsword, full with its distinctive Ash of Battle. (Nevertheless, you may also give it to Jolan on the finish of Depend Ymir’s questline within the Church of Metyr Manus. That may reward you with his spirit ashes, so decide properly.)
