Elden Ring Bernahl quest: First location
You may meet Bernahl fairly early on, on the Warmaster’s Shack in Limgrave the place he’ll supply to promote you Ashes of Warfare. He additionally has a dialogue choice which solely appears to alter his subsequent response, so far as I can inform, so that you’re free to decide on whichever choice you need.
This step is not required to start out his quest at Volcano Manor, afterward.
Methods to get the Letter to Bernahl
Be aware: You will not have the ability to full this step for those who’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 not have the ability to entry the Fortified Manor.

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’ll be able to simply stroll via the entrance door, for those who’re in no actual hurry.
Nonetheless you select to get there, you will discover Bernahl within the room with Rya and Diallos, which requires the Drawing Room key to entry. You may converse to Bernahl at this level, however his quest will not begin till you’ve got accomplished the second assassination, Rileigh the Idle, in Altus Plateau as a part of the primary Volcano Manor quest. Whenever you return to the manor with this step accomplished, speak 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 ground of the Fortified Manor, in the primary entrance corridor.
As soon as you’ve got 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.

Bernahl’s subsequent cease is Crumbling Farum Azula. You could find his summon signal outdoors the Godskin Duo boss room and he is a big assist when coping with this probably difficult battle. It is also value noting that you simply needn’t full the Volcano Manor step to make him accessible as a summon right here.
Proceed to work your manner via the realm till you unlock the Beside the Greatbridge Website 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 other way.
