ELDEN RING – All NPC Quest Steps in Order

This is a guide listing every NPC Quest Step in Order.

Quick Information about these Steps

Note: Credit goes to Athrek

These Steps are a TL;DR Version and will not explain how to get anywhere, only where to go. They will also follow the order of “Intended” Route and as such, will complete every questline in that order. That said, if I were to completely go with what I believed was “Intended”, several questlines wouldn’t be completed at all.
