It does take you into one of many final areas of the sport although, so do not count on to complete it rapidly in case your Tarnished is simply setting out. Here is the right way to full the Elden Ring Bernahl quest.
Elden Ring Bernahl quest: First location
You may meet Bernahl fairly early on, on the Warmaster’s Shack in Limgrave the place he’ll provide to promote you Ashes of Struggle. He additionally has a dialogue possibility which solely appears to alter his subsequent response, so far as I can inform, so that you’re free to decide on whichever possibility you need.
This step is not required to start out his quest at Volcano Manor, in a while.
Learn how to get the Letter to Bernahl
Observe: You will not be capable of full this step in the event you’ve killed Rykard or Maliketh: Rykard as a result of the NPCs in Volcano Manor disappear afterwards, and Maliketh as a result of you’ll now not be capable of entry the Fortified Manor. The Crumbling Farum Azula steps are unaffected, nevertheless.
You will not meet Bernahl once more till you attain Volcano Manor in Mt Gelmir. You may attain this space quickly after arriving in Liurnia, both by getting an invite from Rya or by getting killed by an Abductor Virgin enemy on the backside of Raya Lucaria Academy. After all, you may simply stroll via the entrance door, in the event you’re in no actual hurry.

You may converse to Bernahl at this level, however his quest will not begin till you have accomplished the second assassination, Rileigh the Idle, in Altus Plateau as a part of the primary Volcano Manor quest. If you return to the manor with this step accomplished, discuss to Bernahl and he’ll hand over the “Letter to Bernahl” merchandise.
Bernahl has been instructed to assassinate two targets in Leyndell, Royal Capital and suggests you go alongside to assist him. The targets are Vagram the Raging Wolf and Errant Sorcerer Wilhelm and their summon signal is discovered on the bottom flooring of the Fortified Manor, in the primary entrance corridor.
As soon as you have defeated each NPCs, you will obtain the Raging Wolf armor set as a reward. You may then return to Volcano Manor and converse to Bernahl to get the Gelmir’s Fury sorcery.
You are now free to finish the remainder of the Volcano Manor questline and defeat the boss of the world. Like different NPCs, Bernahl will depart the manor after this, however you may nonetheless entry his store by interacting along with his sword in his earlier location.
Bernahl’s invasion in Crumbling Farum Azula
Bernahl’s subsequent cease is Crumbling Farum Azula. You’ll find his summon signal exterior the Godskin Duo boss room and he is a large assist when coping with this probably difficult combat. It is also value noting that you simply needn’t full the Volcano Manor step to make him obtainable as a summon right here.
Proceed to work your means via the world till you unlock the Beside the Greatbridge Web site of Grace. From right here, proceed up the steps, however as an alternative of going straight on up the street to Maliketh’s boss room, flip round and head in the wrong way.
