In the vast and treacherous world of Elden Ring, players encounter countless NPCs, each with their own motives, backstories, and often cryptic questlines. One such character is Brother Corhyn, a devout holy man who serves as a vendor and plays a significant role in one of the game's most mysterious narrative threads. Completing his questline not only offers rich lore but also access to powerful Incantations and key Elden Ring Items that can alter your journey's end.

This guide will walk you through every step of Brother Corhyn's quest, highlight the rewards, and show how Elden Ring Runes fuel your progress.

Who Is Brother Corhyn

Brother Corhyn is a faithful cleric who teaches faith-based Incantations to those who seek the guidance of the Greater Will. He can first be found at the Roundtable Hold, where he offers a variety of useful Incantations in exchange for Elden Ring Runes. His inventory includes healing spells, buffs, and other tools vital for faith builds.

However, Corhyn's story doesn't end at the Hold. As the game progresses, he embarks on a personal pilgrimage, setting out in search of Goldmask, a mysterious figure tied to the game's deep lore. Helping Corhyn complete his questline offers insight into the fate of the Erdtree, the nature of the Golden Order, and the many philosophical divides within the Lands Between.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Meet Corhyn at the Roundtable Hold

Your first encounter with Brother Corhyn will be after you've unlocked the Roundtable Hold. Here, he serves as a basic vendor for Incantations. Spend Elden Ring Runes to purchase some of his initial spells, especially if you're running a Faith build. He will remain here until you defeat Morgott, the Omen King, in Leyndell.

2. Corhyn Leaves the Hold

After Morgott is defeated, revisit the Roundtable Hold. Corhyn will have left, leaving behind a note that he has gone in search of Goldmask, a scholar who seeks to unravel the secrets of the Golden Order. Your next goal is to find both of them in the overworld.

3. Altus Plateau

Travel to Altus Plateau, the golden-hued region northwest of Liurnia. Near the Altus Highway Junction Site of Grace, you'll find Brother Corhyn. Speak to him multiple times until he mentions Goldmask. Then head to the north side of the broken bridge just west of the Forest-Spanning Greatbridge. There, you'll find Goldmask silently standing, gazing into the distance.

Return to Corhyn and tell him where Goldmask is. He will relocate to Goldmask's side shortly after.

4. Working Together

Corhyn and Goldmask will now be together, and Corhyn will have a new inventory of Incantations. These are more advanced, often requiring higher Faith and more Elden Ring Runes to acquire. Pay close attention to the dialogues, Corhyn's tone begins to shift as he struggles to fully understand Goldmask's cryptic logic.

5. Solve the Riddle at the Colosseum

As you reach Leyndell, Royal Capital, locate Corhyn and Goldmask again near the colosseum area. Here, you must solve a puzzle involving the Law of Regression Incantation, which reveals hidden truths.

To complete it:

    Obtain the Law of Regression Incantation (requires 37 Faith).

    Stand at the statue near Erdtree Sanctuary Site of Grace.

    Cast the spell while standing at the correct location.

Once done, return to the duo. This step is crucial for the next progression.

6. Journey to the Mountaintops

After progressing further and reaching the Mountaintops of the Giants, Corhyn and Goldmask will move again. This time, you can find them on a bridge overlooking the Erdtree from the mountaintop region. Speak to Corhyn to see how his faith is faltering, Goldmask remains silent.

7. End of the Questline

Eventually, you'll find Corhyn's bell bearing and robe lying on the ground, signaling his demise (or disappearance). Nearby, you'll find Goldmask's body at the foot of a cliff, completing their tragic arc.

Rewards for Completing the Quest

Brother Corhyn's quest rewards players in multiple ways:

    Access to advanced Incantations, crucial for high-level Faith builds.

    Rich lore about the Golden Order, Erdtree, and internal schisms of belief.

    Key Elden Ring Items, including Corhyn's Robe, Goldmask's Set, and the Mending Rune of Perfect Order, which unlocks a unique ending.

To purchase all of Corhyn's offerings, you'll need a significant amount of Elden Ring Runes, so plan your farming routes accordingly or consider using Rune-boosting items.

Final Thoughts

Brother Corhyn's quest is less about power and more about perspective. His journey from loyal believer to a man disillusioned by the cryptic truths of Goldmask mirrors the deeper existential themes of Elden Ring. Along the way, you'll unlock potent Elden Ring Items, collect lore pieces that deepen your understanding of the world, and spend thousands of Elden Ring Runes enriching your character's capabilities.

If you're running a Faith-based character or simply want to explore one of the game's most thoughtful narratives, Brother Corhyn's story is a must-complete.
