Here’s our in-progress Wylder Remembrance quest walkthrough for Elden Ring Nightreign, explaining how to start Wylder’s Remembrance quest and how to complete each task along the way.
How to start Wylder’s Remembrance quest in Elden Ring Nightreign
To start Wylder’s Remembrance quest in Elden Ring Nightreign, first ensure you have unlocked Chapter 3 of Wylder’s Journal, which becomes accessible after completing one or two expeditions as Wylder. Once unlocked, head to the Journal area in Roundtable Hold and select Chapter 3, then choose the option to “Begin Remembrance.” This will transport you into Wylder’s memory. Next, proceed to the room adjacent to the Journal to find and speak with the Iron Menial NPC, exhaust his dialogue, and accept the personal objective to find a whetstone in Limveld. From there, start an expedition and follow the red quest marker to the Red Marked Mine, where you will locate glowing rocks and defeat the Tunnel Crystalian guarding the whetstone to progress the quest.
Wylder’s Remembrance quest begins in his journal’s third chapter; if you haven’t unlocked this chapter yet in your playthrough, you can do so by playing expeditions as the character until it unlocks.
In our experience, a new chapter shows up after completing one or two expeditions as Wylder. It also seems that all expedition outcomes count, regardless of whether you played solo or multiplayer, or if you won or lost; the chapter will unlock eventually.
When you check Wylder’s journal after you return to Roundtable Hold from an expedition, if you can access the Chapter 3 entry, you will notice a button that allows you to “begin Remembrance.” Upon selection, you’ll enter a memory that locks you as Wylder for the duration. If you want to come back to the remembrance quest, you can do so without penalty. However, once you start a Remembrance quest that requires you to complete an objective in expeditions, it’s essential to know that Nightreign only allows one personal objective per expedition.
If you team up with someone else who’s also pursuing their Remembrance quest, there’s a chance your objective will not be the one that shows on the map.
Chapter 3: Find a whetstone in Limveld
To complete Chapter 3 of Wylder’s Remembrance quest in Elden Ring Nightreign, you must find a whetstone in Limveld. Start by speaking with the Iron Menial at Roundtable Hold, who assigns this task. Then, begin an expedition as Wylder and look for a red quest marker on your map directing you to a mine in Limveld. Inside the mine, you will encounter a mini-boss called the Tunnel Crystalian guarding the whetstone. Defeat this enemy, which can be done even at low levels with your starting weapon, and then collect the whetstone from where the Crystalian appeared. Afterward, return to Roundtable Hold to continue the quest by interacting with the Iron Menial and following subsequent objectives involving the Mended Earring and the Duchess. Successfully completing this chapter rewards you with the Slate Whetstone relic, granting Wylder a powerful new attack.
Speak with the Iron Menial in Rountable Hold to start Wylder’s first quest. He tasks you with finding a whetstone in Limveld.
Start an expedition, and check your map for a red quest icon. It will point out a specific mine for you to enter, which will lead you to the mini-boss guarding the whetstone. You can find this boss by searching for glowing rocks deep inside the mine, and you’ll know you’ve seen it once a Tunnel Crystalian spawns in front of the objective.
Tunnel Crystalian is no different from the other Crystalians you most likely have already faced in your runs. You can likely take it down solo, at a low level, and with your starting weapon. Once defeated, the whetstone is available for pickup right behind where the crystalian spawned.
Once you receive the Slate Whetstone, you can return it to the Menial and exhaust his dialogue. A few rewards for you to grab on the table nearby, with one of them being the Mended Earring.
Pulling up the Roundtable Hold menu will point out your next destination, the study. Once there, you’ll be able to hold the earring into the light filtering in from above, revealing some lore. After you’re finished studying, you finally return the Mended Earring to the Duchess and conclude the first part of Wylder’s Remembrance quest. Upon completion, you’ll receive the Slate Whetstone Relic, which grants Wylder the ability to follow up with his Character Skill when wielding a greatsword as well as a boost to physical attack.
Chapter 5: The Roundtable Crypt
In Chapter 5: The Roundtable Crypt of the Wylder Remembrance quest in Elden Ring Nightreign, players descend into a newly accessible crypt beneath the Roundtable Hold’s west hall. After unlocking the door by reading three glowing notes, you proceed down a series of stairs to find the Iron Menial waiting in the crypt. Engaging with him and exhausting his dialogue advances the quest, while further exploration and reading additional notes reveal more about the mysterious Duchess. This chapter concludes with a conversation with the Duchess on the beach south of the Roundtable before finalizing the remembrance in the Journal, rewarding players with Wylder’s Chalice, which allows equipping relics specific to Wylder.
Once you unlock the fifth chapter in Wylder’s Journal, you’ll be able to begin the second part of his remembrance quest.
Upon entry into the memory, open your map and follow the exclamation point in the west hall. Once there, you’ll be in a room with glowing notes along the walls. Interact with all three of them, and you’ll lose control of your character as the sound of a heavy door opening rings out.
The door that opens leads to a crypt, and unfortunately, it doesn’t appear on the Roundtable Hold map. To find this room, in the west hall, go down the stairs, turn left, and then go down the next set of stairs to see the open door. Inside, you’re met by the Iron Menial with more dialogue for you to exhaust.
After, you’ll repeat the same task of examining the glowing notes in the crypt. This will provide some information about Duchess, your fellow Nightfarer, and the next step is to find her on the beach south of the Roundtable. Exhaust her dialogue, and that will be the conclusion of this stage of Wylder’s remembrance quest.
Completing these steps grants you the Wylder’s Chalice, which allows you to attach different colored relics to Wylder specifically. The Wylder’s Chalice allows for a red relic, a yellow relic, and one of any color.
We’re still working on the final two chapters of Wylder’s remembrance quest and will update this guide with the required steps (and rewards!) soon.
