All NPC Interactions in Elden Ring, Chronologically, By Location (2024)

Hey everybody! I've been looking for a chronological guide on all of the NPC interactions, so I decided to make one. Some of these things can obviously be done out of order, but this order makes sense to me, based on the difficulty of each area.

This will allow you to complete all 6 endings, if you copy your save after the Final Boss. I put "*****" next to the steps that are required for the achievement endings. I put "**" next to the steps that will give you the optional endings. Most of these interactions do not affect endings or achievements at all. It's just for the lore and the loot.

Any time you rest at a Grace, check to see whether the "Talk to Melina" option is available.

It's generally a good idea to start by heading toward the map for each zone. (The exception to this is Mt Gelmir, where the map is pretty out of the way)

Limgrave:

Talk to White-Faced Varre at the very start of the game, next to The First Step Grace.
Talk to Merchant Kale at the Church of Elleh
After getting access to Torrent, return to Church of Elleh at night to meet Renna (Ranni)
Meet Boc by rolling into a talking tree North of Agheel Lake
Talk to Boc at the Coastal Cave on the Western shore of Limgrave
Kill the boss of Coastal Cave (can summon Old Knight Isrvan). Then talk to Boc again and give him the sewing needle.
Meet Sorceress Sellen under the Waypoint Ruins, East of Agheel Lake. Accept her offer to teach you sorceries
Meet Bloody Finger Hunter Yura South-East of Agheel Lake, under an overpass. After killing the dragon, talk to him again.
In the Northern section of Agheel Lake, up a stream, you will be invaded by Bloody Finger Nerijus. Stay alive long enough for Bloody Finger Hunter Yura to appear and help you defeat him. Then, continue walking North up the stream to talk to Bloody Finger Hunter Yura.
Enter Murkwater Cave near where you fought Nerijus. In the last room, open the chest and fight Patches until he surrenders. Then, stop and exhaust his dialogue. Reload the area and exhaust his dialogue. Then open the other chest nearby, which will transport you to Mistwood. Head North to the Third Church of Marika. Fast travel back to Murkwater Cave and talk to Patches again. Attack Patches until he starts fighting back. Avoid him until he gives you a gesture, then use that gesture. Then, reload the area and speak to Patches again.
After you hear howling in the Mistwood, return to the Church of Elleh and speak to Merchant Kale. Then, go back to where you heard the howling, and use the gesture. Find Blaidd in the Mistwood Ruins nearby (avoid waking up the giant bear). Then, speak to Kale again
On a ruin near the Mistwood Outskirts, find Kenneth Haight. He will ask you to clear Fort Haight, in the South East. Once you’ve cleared Fort Haight, return and talk to him. Then, go back to Fort Haight and talk to him there.

Cross the Saintsbridge and find D, Hunter of the Dead. He will warn you about an enemy nearby. After you defeat that enemy, talk to D again.
Take the sending gate D told you about to the Bestial Sanctum to meet Gurranq, Beast Clergyman. Give him Deathroot, and he will reward you. After you’ve given him 4 Deathroot, he will aggro, and you will need to hit him a few times to snap him out of it. After giving him 9 Deathroot, he will leave.
From the Third Church of Marika, continue north up the hill to the Rear Gael Tunnel Entrance. Talk to Alexander

After getting access to the Roundtable Hold, talk to everyone there. Fia will only talk while holding you. Then, return to The First Step Grace to talk to White-Faced Varre.

Stormveil Castle:

Summon Rogier for your fight with Margit.
Meet Gatekeeper Gostoc near the castle gates. The safest way to enter is through the path he provides, but he will have them open the gates, if you’d rather rush through the danger. (Note that he steals 30% of your runes every time you die, which you can only get back by killing him at the end of the castle. However, if you don’t kill him, he will sell a very valuable item at the end of Nepheli’s questline. So, the choice is yours.)
Talk to Rogier in the chapel. Purchase something from him, then speak to him again.
Find the Chrysalid’s Memento and give it to Roderika at the Stormhill Shack
From the Liftside Chamber Grace, head around the corner to the right and drop down. Continue through this zone and examine the room behind the final boss, including a bloodstain near there that looks like Rogier.
Before killing Godrick, go from the Secluded Cell Grace toward the main gate, past the troll, and into a side room. Talk to Nepheli. Summon Nepheli to fight Godrick with you.
After killing Godrick, talk to everyone in the Roundtable Hold again. Talk to Roderika and Hewg multiple times until Hewg takes Roderika as an apprentice. Talk to D after talking to Rogier.
After talking to Enia at the Rountable Hold, return to The First Step Grace for a message from White-Faced Varre

After talking to Albus, head west from the Laskar Ruins and look along the base of the cliff to the West for a cave. Go through it to speak to Latenna.

Meet Edgar at the Revenger’s Shack, west of the Rose Church, and get a Shabiri Grape.

Find Thops at the Academy, around the corner from the Schoolhouse Classroom Grace
You can follow Patches' advice and allow the Iron Maiden to grab youin the lowest levels of the Academy. If you do, return to Patches for some dialogue. However, this will drop you in the middle of Volcano Manor, a more difficult ares, so it isn't recommended.

Go to Seluvis’ Rise nearby to speak to Seluvis. Seluvis's full questline must be completed (through Altus Plateau) before completing Nokron, and you will need to atone at the Church of Vows afterwards, so you may choose to skip his quest. To continue his quest, you must give the potion to 1 of 3 people. 1) Nepheli- this will give you a unique item, but end Nepheli's questline 2) Gideon - this won't change anything OR 3) Dung Eater, found much later in Leyndell - this will give you a unique item, but end Dung Eater's questline and prevent you from receiving one of the endings (not required for the trophy). The choice is yours.
Speak to everybody in the Roundtable Hold. Go back and forth between Nepheli (who has moved downstairs) and Gideon until you give Nepheli an item. Give her 1) the potion from Seluvis, ending her questline OR 2) the Stormhawk King Ashes

After the Final Boss

If you would like to complete all of the endings, copy your save data after completing the final boss, but before making any kind of choice. You can sit at the Site of Grace.

***** Frenzied Flame Ending

Note: You can complete this at any point during the game, and it will lock you into the frenzied flame ending.

-If you become the Frenzied Flame after your final boss save, you can complete this ending last, and you will not need Miquella's needle (can skip the fight with Melania)

-If you become the Frenzied Flame before going up to the Forge of the Giants, you will unlock extra dialogue with Melina and Shabriri. You will then complete this ending first and will need to undo the Frenzied Flame to get the other endings.

To become the Frenzied Flame: * To become the Frenzied Flame, go to the very base of Lyndell’s sewers and fight Mohg, The Omen* If you do this early in the game, speak to Melina at the Cathedral of the Forsaken * Roll into the altar behind the chest. * Make your way to the bottom. * Speak to Melina at the Frenzied Flame Proscription* Talk to Hyetta, following her instructions and exhausting her dialogue. If you did not complete Hyetta's questline, you can still go through the door by taking off all of your armor. * Speak to Melina again at the Site of Grace* Return to Shabriri at Zamor Ruins Grace

To remove the Frenzied Flame: * After defeating Melania, use the Unalloyed Gold Needle on the flower in the boss room to get Miquella’s needle* Use Miquella’s needle in the boss arena of Dragonlord Placidusax’s in Crumbling Farum Azula. To find it, look for some debris you can jump onto between Dragon Temple Rooftop and Beside the Great Bridge (after the dragon, and before the elevator). Jump along the rubble until you find an empty grave that you can lay down in. You do not need to fight the boss.
