Time Limit: Corhyn Dies Upon Reaching Farum Azula

If you reach Crumbling Farum Azula without completing the quests in Roundtable Hold or Altus Plateau, Corhyn will be found dead at Roundtable Hold or at the Altus Plateau (Bell Bearing can be obtained).

Advance Until Altus Plateau Then Head To Roundtable Hold

Once you have unlocked the Altus Plateau, warp to the Roundtable Hold and talk to Corhyn. After talking to Corhyn, Corhyn will appear at Altus Plateau. Corhyn is close to where the Map Fragment is located. You will be able to purchase Incantations from Corhyn there.

Tell Corhyn Where To Find Goldmask To Progress

If you tell Corhyn the location of Goldmask in Altus Plateau, he will move to different places as you progress through the questline. He will move from the bridge in Altus Plateau → Cliffs near the Royal Capital Colosseum → Bridge in the Mountaintops of the Giants → Leyndell, Ashen Capital. Make sure to check his location depending on your progress of the questline.

You must travel to Leyndell, the Royal Capital, in order to continue on to the next quest. The quest will take place in the Royal Capital, which is located near a boss. So, for the time being, focus on defeating the boss.

From Leyndell, Royal Capital To The End Of The Questline

1. Reach The West Capital Rampart Site Of Grace

The nearest Site of Grace to Corhyn would be the West Capital Rampart Site of Grace.

Follow the path to the left and take the elevator down from the Erdtree Sanctuary Site of Grace. You'll see a message in front of the statue, so use the Law of Regression on the statue. Read the new message that will appear.

The Law Of Regression Is An Incantation That Requires Intelligence

Despite Law of Regression being an Incantation, you will need an intelligence stat of 37. Because of its high intelligence stat requirement, it is almost impractical except for mage characters. To resolve this, you can respec your stats or use equipment and items that can temporarily increase intelligence.

Equipment / Item	Increased INT	How To Get
Karolos Glintstone Crown	3	Raya Lucaria Academy in Liurnia. Go to the courtyard through the Debate Parlor and defeat the crabs near the area where the Golden Seed is located.

Witch's Glintstone Crown	3	Progress with Sorceress Sellen's questline.

Marika's Soreseal	5	Found inside a room in Elphael, Brace Of The Haligtree which requires a Stonesword Key to open.
Intelligence-knot Crystal Tear	10	Found on the bottom of the cliffs east of the Road to the Manor Site of Grace in the western part of Liurnia.
Godrick's Great Rune	5	Defeat Godrick the Grafted and restore it at the Divine Tower of Limgrave. [How To Use Great Rune] Head to a Site of Grace and select Great Rune from the menu. After equipping it, use the Rune Arc to activate the effect of the Great Rune.

6. Speak With Goldmask And Corhyn

Talk To Goldmask	Obtain A Gesture

Return to Goldmask and speak to him. A dialogue option will appear, so choose "Tell him that Radagon is Marika." You will then obtain the "Golden Order Totality" Gesture. Corhyn will then tell you new stories and sell you a new Incantation called "Immutable Shield".

The Outcome Will Change If You Give Corhyn The Tonic Of Forgetfulness



Remarks
※After giving the Tonic of Forgetfulness to Corhyn, you can also give it to Rya.

During this time, you can opt to give Corhyn the Tonic of Forgetfulness that you obtained in the Volcano Manor questline. If you do, Corhyn will not move to Leyndell, Ashen Capital in the next step. As a result, it's fine to skip step 8 and go straight to step 9. The quest rewards will remain the same, but you will no longer be able to purchase Incantations from Corhyn once you give him the tonic.

8. Talk To Corhyn In Leyndell, Ashen Capital

Location Of Corhyn	Use The Giant Spear As A Landmark

After clearing the Crumbling Farum Azula, you will be transferred to Leyndell, Ashen Capital. Since the buildings have collapsed, proceed from the Site of Grace: Leyndell, Ashen Capital to Corhyn's location by using the giant golden spear as a landmark.

Corhyn Will Stay On The Mountaintops Of the Giants If You Give The Tonic Of Forgetfulness

Location Of Corhyn	Left Alone On The Bridge

If you gave the Tonic of Forgetfulness to Corhyn, he will stay on the bridge at Mountaintops of the Giants after the Royal Capital turns into the Ashen Capital. Do take note that you won't be able to purchase Incantations from him once you've done this.

9. Obtain Mending Rune Of Perfect Order At Leyndell, Ashen Capital


Remarks
※Even if Corhyn stays at the Mountaintops of the Giants, the location of Goldmask will remain unchanged.

Goldmask's corpse can be found a short distance away from Corhyn's location. Examine it to find the Mending Rune of Perfect Order. If you examine Goldmask's corpse again after reloading, you will obtain the Goldmask Armor Set. The questline comes to a close here.

Rune Can Be Used To Get A Different Ending

If you have the Mending Rune of Perfect Order, you will be able to restore the Elden Ring using the rune at the end of the game. You'll get a different ending from the normal one, so check it out if you're interested to see it.

The Radiant Gold Mask Can Be Found In Altus Plateau



Goldmask's greaves, armor, and gauntlets are the only items that can be looted from his corpse. The Radiant Gold Mask can be found at the edge of the collapsed bridge after proceeding from the Road of Iniquity Side Path Site of Grace in Altus Plateau.

What Happens If You Give The Tonic Of Forgetfulness To Corhyn? - Brother Corhyn Questline

Giving The Tonic Of Forgetfulness Will Change His Dialogue

If you talk to Corhyn while you have the Tonic of Forgetfulness (obtained from the Volcano Manor questline), you will get the option to give the tonic to him. If you proceed with the questline after giving it to Corhyn, his comments about Goldmask will change, indicating that he drank the tonic.

There Are No Changes In The Quest Rewards

Even if you gave Corhyn the Tonic of Forgetfulness, the questline can still be progressed and the rewards will still be the same. The only thing that will change is that you can no longer purchase Incantations from Brother Corhyn as you continue the questline.

In addition, if you gave the tonic to Corhyn, you can still give it to Rya, for whom the item was intended. Go ahead and enjoy the changes in Corhyn's dialogue.
