Irina is an NPC in Elden Ring with a unique questline of her own. A feeble, blind child of a castellan, Irina’s world has been turned upside down by rampaging misbegotten. Will you help the poor girl in need or turn a blind eye to her requests?
In this guide, we will help you locate Irina and how you can reach her father in Castle Morne to deliver the letter safely.
Irina Location
You can find Irina to start her questline by going to the southern edge of the Weeping Peninsula in Limgrave. This location is basically on the south side of the Bridge of Sacrifice.
Make your way to the Agheel Lake South site of Grace and then follow the road. The connecting bridge is heavily guarded. So, if you try to get through it, you are going to confront a group of enemies.
If you are feeling confident enough, take them all on. If not, use Torrent to cross the bridge. There is a site of Grace on the right side of the bridge. Go there and rest.
Go and talk to Irina to initiate her quest, and she will tell you some of the backstories of Castle Morne. At the end of the conversation with her, she will ask you to deliver a letter to Edgar so he can know she is alive.
How to Reach Castle Morne
This is the second part of the Irina Questline. Irina will tell you that her father, Edgar, is a Castellan of Castle Morne, and you will find him there.
Keep following the road to the south. A few foes might be along the way, but they can be easily avoided. Keep going, and you will see the Castle Morne Rampart Site of Grace on the left side of the road.
Go a little further, and you will see Castle Morne right in front of you. There will be a map fragment beside the pillar in front of you. You will need to rush to get it; otherwise, you will likely get caught by the patrolling guards.
Take the pathway to the right and then approach the Castle. There will be a giant archer guarding the main entrance that you can easily defeat. Just attack his ankles to take him down and then enter the door.
Find Edgar in Castle Morne
Now, your objective is to deliver Irina’s Letter to her father, Edgar. In order to find Edgar at Castle Morne, you need to reach the top of Castle Morne. When you reach Castle Morne, you will encounter a Smouldering Giant with a huge bow.
You have to take out his legs; after that, you can beat that beast easily. After defeating the giant, head to the top of the Castle. You will find him sitting on the top of a tower. You have to go through multiple ladders and stairs to reach him. After that, you have to deliver Irina’s letter to him.
Edgar will be relieved to know that her daughter is alive. But he can’t leave the castle as he is duty-bound to protect it.
After a little conversation with him, you will get the next objective: defeating the boss of this area so Irina’s father can return to her.
Defeat Leonine Misbegotten
You must defeat Leonine Misbegotten, the boss of this area, to progress Irina’s questline in Elden Ring. This task will open up when you take the letters to Irina’s father to give him the good news. He will tell you that a boss needs to be taken care of first.
You will find Leonine Misbegotten on the southwestern shores of Castle Morne. When you reach the Rampart Gaol Site of Grace, go in the southwest direction, and you will see a wooden bridge.
Cross that bridge and head towards the tower. You will be able to see the boss arena from the tower. Find the ladder on the side of the tower and use that to get down to the shore.
You will also see some of the non-hostile Spirit Jellyfish in your way, but you can go past them and head south to find Leonine Misbegotten.
Take note that you will fail the quest if you defeat the boss before taking Irina’s letters to Edgar.
Return to Edgar
Now you have to return to the Edgar at Castle Morne. You can fast travel to the first site of grace in Castle Morne to get to him quickly. Talk to him, and now he will be free from his duty and ready to return to his daughter.
Go back to where Irina is by using the bridge of Sacrifice site of Grace. You will find Irina dead and Edgar sitting near her corpse. Apparently, she was attacked by Misbegotten once yo left and died. This will start Edgar’s Questline, which will overlap with Hyetta.
How to Avoid Failing Irina’s Questline
Irina’s questline can only fail if you do not deliver the letters to Edgar and do not speak to him before taking down Leonine Misbegotten.
So, to complete the quest, first get to Irina’s location. Then take the letters and go to Castle Morne. Find Edgar. Hand over those letters to him and then beat the boss.
Can you save Irina in Elden Ring?
This questline, just like many others in Elden Ring, does not have a happy ending. Irina is going to be killed no matter what you do, apart from just completely ignoring the questline. But ignoring this questline will lead you to miss out on some very powerful weapons. No matter whether you give the letters to Edgar first or whatever you do, she is supposed to die.
Irina Questline Rewards
The rewards are listed below:
- Grafted Blade Greatsword
- Shabriri Grape
- +8 Banished Halberd
