Moore is an NPC in Elden Ring with a unique quest of his own. A gentle giant at heart and a merchant by nature, Moore is a follower of Miquella exclusive to the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.
While Moore’s quest is neither long nor complicated, it still gives us an insight into his character. He loves to help anyone he comes across without needing anything in return.
In this guide, we will help you locate Moore and how you can complete his quest in Elden Ring. Make sure to read the optional section, as it can lock you out of Moore’s quest if not followed properly.
Talk to Moore at Main Gate Cross
The first encounter with Moore takes place at the Main Gate Cross site of grace, just outside Belurat Tower in the Gravesite Plains.
This is the first Miquella’s Cross you will come across in your journey through the Shadow Lands. Talk to Moore there, and he will offer you some goods from his inventory. This will unlock Moore as a merchant in Elden Ring.
| Item | Price (runes) |
| Spellproof Pickled Liver | 4000 |
| Fireproof Pickled Liver | 4000 |
| Lightningproof Pickled Liver | 4000 |
| Holyproof Pickled Liver | 4000 |
| Well Pickled Turtle Neck | 2000 |
| Black Pyrefly | 1800 |
| Rada Fruit | 800 |
| Redflesh Mushroom | 1500 |
| Whiteflesh Mushroom | 2000 |
| Sanguine Amaryllis | 1800 |
| Knot Resin | 1500 |
| Arrow | 20 |
| Great Arrow | 300 |
| Bolt | 40 |
| Ballista Bolt | 300 |
| Note: Sealed Spiritsprings | 1000 |
| Rune Arc | 8000 |
If you purchase something from Moore (we recommend the note about Sealed Spiritsprings), the option “Talk to Moore” will unlock. When you talk to him, Moore will tell you that he likes to find things for others and will find things for you, too.
Rest at the site of grace and then talk to Sir Ansbach about the “person in Verdigris Armor”. This will unlock new dialogues, and Ansbach will tell you a lot more about Moore and his backstory.
Get Black Syrup for Thiollier’s Concoction
The next step in Moore’s quest is to start Thiollier’s quest in Elden Ring. He can be found near Pillar Path Cross site of grace, in the eastern region of Gravesite Plain.
It is directly east of Great Ellac Bridge and southeast of Castle Ensis’s Entrance site of grace. Talk to Thiollier and unlock him as a new merchant. Listen to his worries and return to Moore near the Main Gate Cross site of grace.
Talk to Moore about Thiollier, and he will give you Black Syrup. He will also tell you that Thiollier needs it. At this point, you can return to Thiollier and give him the Black Syrup to get Thiollier’s Concoction, an important item for the Dragon Communion Priestess’ quest in Elden Ring.
Moore’s Relationship with Forager Broods (Optional)
Forager Broods or commonly known as non-hostile Lesser Kindred of Rot, are spread across the map of Shadow Lands. You can talk to them and collect important Forager Cookbooks from up to 1 to 6.
Moore has a soft spot for Forager Broods, and he helps them whenever possible. If you kill two Forager Broods, Moore will invade you in Elden Ring. Killing him will end his quest right at that point.
Upon killing Moore, he will drop the following items.
- Verdigris Greatshield
- Verdigris Helm
- Verdigris Armor
- Verdigris Gauntlets
- Verdigris Greaves
- Moore’s Bell Bearings
To obtain Moore’s Bell Bearings, you must travel back to the Main Gate Cross site of grace and interact with the item where Moore was initially sitting.
After the Breaking of Miquella’s Rune
Once you enter Shadow Keep, you will hear a breaking noise and a text that tells you a great rune has been broken somewhere. This is a pivotal point in the game as it changes all the NPCs drastically.
Return to Moore near the Main Gate Cross site of grace, and talk to him. He will make a comment about Miquella’s light being gone and ask, “Must we be sad forever?”
You will get three options here. You must answer carefully to trigger the final encounter with Moore at Enir-Ilim.
- Put it Behind You. This is the best option as it will make Moore move instantly from the site of grace.
- Remain Sad Forever. Upon hearing this response, Moore will start lamenting by saying, “Sad, forever sad”. He will keep repeating until you move away from the area and then return again using sites of grace.
- I Don’t Know. This is the worst answer as it will make Moore stuck at his place. Don’t choose this answer if you want to meet Moore one last time.
Meet Moore and Allies in Enir-Ilim
If you select the first option of “Put it Behind You”, Moore will appear in Enir-Ilim as your opponent in your fight against Leda and Allies.
This fight takes place before you can reach the Promised Consort Radahn. Upon defeating Leda and her Allies, Moore will drop the same items mentioned above. This will complete Moore’s quest in Elden Ring.
