Roderika is an NPC in Elden Ring who has an unfortunate backstory as she had lost everything. In Roderika’s Questline, you will help Roderika deliver her message to the Chrysalids and help her find her purpose.
Roderika is an important NPC in Elden Ring, as you will require her to upgrade your Spirit Ashes. So, it is recommended that you interact with her to unlock that feature. Let us help you complete this complex quest in no time.
Roderika’s Location in Elden Ring
To start the Roderika Questline in Elden Ring, you must arrive at the Stormhill Shack, located in the northwest of Limgrave. This is an early area in Elden Ring, so you won’t have to go far into the game to reach her.
Before reaching Stormhill Shack, you must acquire Torrent from Melina at the Gatefront Site of Grace. Afterward, you can continue your path toward the northwest to access the location.
Go inside the Stormhill Shack and talk to Roderika, sitting in a corner. She will tell you that she has lost everyone and is alone now. All her companions have been grafted into Chrysalids in the Stormveil Castle.
During the dialogue, you will unlock the sitting sideways pose. She will also give you Jellyfish Spirit Ashes upon exhausting her dialogues. She will ask your help to deliver a message to the Chrysalids. This will start the Roderika Questline.
Roderika Questline is a little time-consuming, and you might often get confused about what must be done in the quest. To complete the questline, you will need to complete the following objectives.
Find Chrysalid’s Memento in Stormveil Castle
First, you must travel to Stormviel Castle to acquire the Chrysalids’ Memento. Stormveil Castle is located in the westernmost part of the Limgrave region and is the first legacy dungeon.
From the location of the Stormhill Shack, where you met Roderika, continue along the road towards the northwest. After covering some distance, you will reach the castle.
Go east from the Rampart Tower site of grace until you reach a room with a Grafted Scion enemy. You can either defeat this enemy or just run past him through the south door.
This will take you to a small courtyard with a troll’s dead hanging upside down. There will be a few dogs here feeding upon dead bodies. Kill the dogs and interact with the bodies to obtain the Chrysalids’ Memento.
Go back to Roderika at Stormhill Shack and hand over the memento. Rest at any site of grace, and she will move to her next location.
Meet Roderika at the Roundtable Hold
It is to be noted if you missed Roderika in the Stormhill Shack, you can find her in the Roundtable Hold. But for that, you have to unlock the Site of Grace in Liurnia after defeating Margit.
Now, you have to fast-travel to the Roundtable Hold and talk to Roderika, standing near the fireplace. Roundtable Hold can only be accessed through Fast Travel. She will tell you she needs to find a purpose and ask for your help.
Go to the next corridor in the Roundtable Hold and talk to Master Hewg. Ask her about Roderika. He will tell you that Roderika possesses a talent for spirit tuning.
Return to Roderika and tell her what Master Hewg told her about her. She will ask you to tell Master Hewg she is willing to learn spirit tuning from him.
Talk to Master Hewg and tell him that Roderika is willing to learn spirit tuning, so he should look after her. He will say that she will not stay with him. Tell him that she has made her choice.
After your dialogue with Master Hewg, Roderika will become a Spirit Tuner. She can now upgrade your Spirit Ashes using Ghost Gloveworts and Grave Gloveworts. You might have to rest at a Site of Grace after your last dialogue with Hewg, so keep that in mind.
Now, return to meet Roderika in the Roundtable Hold. She will thank you for everything you have done for her. Also, pay a visit to Master Hewg next to Roderika. He will tell you that Roderika is doing a great job.
Retrieve the Crimson Hood
Completing Roderika’s questline to this point will reward you with the Crimson Hood that Roderika was wearing throughout the questline. You will notice that she is missing her Crimson Hood.
To retrieve the Crimson Hood, travel to the Stromveil Castle and go to the same courtyard where you got the Chrysalids’ Memento. Collect the Crimson Hood.
