Unravel the shadowy past of Ironeye, the lethal assassin of Elden Ring Nightreign, in a gripping Remembrance quest that plunges you into a realm of traitors, fierce battles, and ultimate confrontations. Journey through haunting expeditions, face off against unique foes like the Night Huntsman, and unlock powerful relics as you piece together Ironeye’s mysterious origins and deadly legacy.
Completing Ironeye’s remembrance quest is an arduous (and lengthy) project. In our in-progress Elden Ring Nightreign guide, see the Ironeye Remembrance quest walkthrough, covering how to start the chain of quests, where to find the targets, and the rewards you gain from it along the way.
How to start Ironeye’s Remembrance in Elden Ring Nightreign
To start Ironeye’s Remembrance quest in Elden Ring Nightreign, you need to play as Ironeye and complete enough expeditions to unlock Journal Chapter 4 in the Roundtable Hold. Once Chapter 4 appears, select “Begin Remembrance” from the journal to enter the Realm of Remembrance. There, locate and talk to the Priestess marked with an exclamation point on the map. After discussing the traitor with her, accept the task to hunt down the other Ironeye in an expedition. This initiates the first Remembrance mission, where you must defeat the Night Huntsman boss and retrieve the Traitor’s Letter to return to the Priestess and complete the quest. This unlocks rewards including Ironeye’s Chalice and the Cracked Scaling Wax relic.
If you want to dive deeper into the past and lore behind Ironeye, then you want to unlock their Remembrance quest. Ironeye’s first Remembrance mission appears in Chapter 4 in Ironeye’s section in the Journal.
While the game doesn’t explain how to unlock new entries in the Journal, in our experience, it took a few expeditions playing Ironeye for Chapter 4 to become available. You don’t have to necessarily kill the Nightlord of an expedition for the mission to unlock. It will be considered “completed” even if the whole group dies on the first day.
To start the initial mission, you must first interact with the Journal and, in Chapter 4, select “begin Remembrance” under the entry text. You will be transported to the Realm of Remembrance, another dimension from where you must queue for expeditions. A short description of the mission is shown on the right side of the “Expeditions menu” explaining what you must do.
All of Ironeye’s Remembrance quests are completed within expeditions. Even so, queueing while in the Realm of Remembrance does not ensure your objective will appear on the map if other players in your group are also pursuing their Remembrances.
You need to be playing Ironeye to complete their Remembrance quest, but you can leave the Realm of Remembrance at any time by interacting with the Journal again and choosing to “postpone Remembrance.” When you’re ready to jump into the hunt again, return to the Journal to restart the mission from where you stopped.
Chapter 4: Defeat the other Ironeye
In Chapter 4 of the Ironeye Remembrance quest in Elden Ring Nightreign, players must defeat the Night Huntsman, who is essentially a shadowy doppelgänger of Ironeye with a similar moveset and an additional ranged dagger attack. This boss fight takes place in the eastern part of the map during a Remembrance Expedition. After defeating the Night Huntsman, players obtain the Traitor’s Letter, which must be returned to the Priestess at the Roundtable Hold to complete the quest. Successfully finishing this chapter rewards the player with Ironeye’s Chalice and the Cracked Sealing Wax relic, both of which enhance Ironeye’s abilities and relic slots.
Once you startstarted Ironeye’s Remembrance in Chapter 4 and appear in the Realm of Remembrance, you need to go talk to the Priestess. She’s on the west side of the Roundtable Hold, in a segment of the area under Small Jaz Bazaar’s room. There is a yellow icon indicating their location on the map. The best route to get there is by jumping the balcony south of the Roundtable and turning right into one of the openings.
You need to talk to her about the Fellowship and the Traitor before the option “accept task” appears, which asks you to another world’s version of your character. After exhausting the dialogue, go to the Roundtable and queue for any expedition.
For us, the objective – indicated by a red icon with a flag on it – was consistently located on the northwest side of the map in all the expeditions we ran while trying to complete this mission. Since it is close to the border of the map, it is one of the first places affected by the initial rain. As a result, you should try to go there on the start of the first or second day.
The target, Night Huntsman, is located under a large bridge. You’ll know you’re in the right location because the trees and other parts of the scenario emit a light purple glow. Be sure to clear the area from other enemies before starting the fight. When you’re ready, pass over the barricades and the Night Huntsman will appear.
You want to have leveled up a bit before facing this enemy since the Night Huntsman is basically a minor boss. Weaker than the regular field boss you find in Elden Ring Nightreign, but strong enough to kill you pretty fast. But if all goes well and the rest of the group follows you, there’s nothing to worry about.
When you defeat the Night Huntsman, you gain the Traitor’s Letter. Finish the expedition by defeating the Nightlord (or die trying), then go back to the Priestess.
Completing this first mission gives you Ironeye’s Chalice (which allows you to equip a Burning Scene and a Tranquil Scene relics with a third free slot) and the Cracked Sealing Wax relic (which extends the duration of a weak point inflicted by Ironeye and gives runes when you land critical hits).
Chapter 6: Finding an Edge of Order
Chapter 6: Finding an Edge of Order in the Ironeye Remembrance quest in Elden Ring Nightreign marks the second major mission in the questline. After defeating two bosses post-Chapter 4, players must return to the Priestess, now found in a crypt rather than her previous location. Here, Ironeye learns of the need to obtain the Edge of Order, which is guarded by Fulghor, the formidable Darkdrift Knight boss in Limveld. Defeating Fulghor is a challenging task requiring skill and perseverance, but securing the Edge of Order allows Ironeye to confront the Traitor and advance the quest. This chapter is pivotal in progressing Ironeye’s story and unlocking further rewards in the game.
Ironeye’s second Remembrance mission becomes available when you kill two bosses after having finished Chapter 4’s quest. To progress in the chain of quests and face the second challenge, go to Chapter 6 in the Journal.
In the first part of the mission, you need to talk to the Priestess. Visit the same place where you initiated the first quest and, instead of the cloaked woman, you will find a note on the ground telling you to go downward into the crypt.
Inside, you find the Priestess and the Traitor. A little interaction takes place in the morbidly white room and the next quest’s next stage is revealed. You need to obtain an Edge of Order, which, according to the Priestess, can be found with Night Centaurs. The only centaur in the game is Fulghor, the final boss in the Darkdrift Knight.
Fulghor is a brutal boss and fighting them requires a lot of attention and practice. (A little bit of luck might come in handy too.) You need to complete the Darkdrift Knight expedition and defeat Fulghor to obtain the Edge of Order.
We are still working on the remaining steps of the quest and will update this in-progress guide to show all the remaining steps to complete Ironeye’s Remembrance quests in Elden Ring Nightreign.
What secrets does Ironeye’s backstory reveal in Nightreign
Ironeye’s backstory in Elden Ring Nightreign reveals that he exists in a state between life and death, part of a secretive group of sentient beings who dwell in death yet retain human-like awareness and decision-making. His mission involves prolonging the Age of Night to protect his kind, even if it means going to extreme lengths such as killing the vessel that sustains this dark era. This connection to death and night ties into the larger lore of the Lands Between, where the Erdtree’s fading power has allowed death-and thus assassination-to become possible, a path Ironeye embraces due to his assassin roots. His personal quest uncovers betrayal within his Fellowship and culminates in a confrontation with the Nightlord, revealing deeper truths about loyalty, sacrifice, and the unending night he seeks to maintain.
How does Ironeye’s backstory connect to the theme of living in death in Nightreign
Ironeye’s backstory in Elden Ring Nightreign deeply embodies the theme of living in death by portraying him as a sentient being who exists in a state between life and death. Unlike typical undead or mindless revenants, Ironeye and his Fellowship are conscious entities who continue to make decisions and pursue goals despite their deathlike existence. His mission to prolong the Age of Night and protect his kind-who dwell in this liminal state-reflects a struggle to maintain their existence amid a world where death is not simply an end but a persistent condition to be lived within. This connection highlights a complex narrative where death is not oblivion but a realm of ongoing awareness and conflict, underscoring the game’s exploration of mortality, identity, and the blurred boundaries between life and death.
