Thiollier’s questline is crucial for understanding the story in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, therefore it is important to complete it during your initial playthrough.
The quest can be initiated early on in your DLC playthrough since Thiollier can be found in Gravesite Plain. Nevertheless, the subsequent locations and dialogue options may prove challenging, even for experienced souls players. To assist with completing the entire questline, here is a guide.
Thiollier’s questline
Find Thiollier in Gravesite Plain
In order to complete Thiollier’s questline, you must first traverse through Gravesite Plain and interact with all the NPCs. Don’t forget to also meet with Thiollier, who is located in the Pillar Path Cross Site of Grace, though he may be a bit further away from the others.
You will first meet Thiollier at Pillar Path Cross.
After conversing with him in full, return to Sir Moore at the Main Gate Cross Site of Grace. He will then give you the Black Syrup and request that you deliver it to Thiollier. All that is left to do is carry out this task.
Find him again after the breaking of the Great Rune
Upon nearing Shadow Keep, a loud shattering noise will reach your ears and you will receive a notification that a Great Rune has been shattered. Return to Thiollier once more and you will discover a new conversation in which he expresses his desire to meet St. Trina.
Explore the Golden Hippopotamus or Visit the Cerulean Coast
As you enter Shadow Keep, you will encounter the Golden Hippopotamus. Once you have defeated it, return to Thiollier who will inform you of his desire to travel to the Cerulean Coast and search for St. Trina in the Stone Coffin Fissure.
Nevertheless, if you personally have already been to this place and successfully defeated the boss, you are able to personally guide Thiollier.
Head over to the lower end of the map to progress the quest.
Head over to Stone Coffin Fissure
Make your way to the southernmost tip of the Cerulean Coast where you will find Stone Coffin Fissure, a massive hole. Descend carefully along this coast until you reach the first Site of Grace in this location.
Remember that this area is only accessible after the Great Rune has been shattered. It will be filled with various enemies such as blobs, Bloodfiends, and Gravebirds. If you come across a Site of Grace with numerous animals surrounding it and a dead end on top of a statue, you can be sure that you are in the correct location.
Defeat the Putrascent Knight
To reach the boss arena, you must jump down from the statue. Once there, you will face the challenging Putrascent Knight, a formidable opponent who requires quick dodging skills. Don’t forget to call upon your trusted Spirit Ash to aid you in this fight.
To simplify this battle, you can utilize the long-range skill, Taker’s Flame, of the Blasphemous Blade while your summon maintains aggro. This approach will significantly decrease the length of the fight and allow you to defeat the boss with ease.
Nevertheless, it is important to stay on guard against the boss’ AoE blue flame attack once it reaches 50% health. This attack has a wide reach and can be challenging to avoid. However, with the help of the Blasphemous Blade trick, you will eventually be able to defeat the boss with ease.
You will find St. Trina in the cave.
Find Thiollier in the Garden of Deep Purple
This is where Thiollier’s lore-heavy quest truly begins, as you enter the cave that leads to the boss arena and come face to face with St. Trina herself. If you choose to interact with her and consume the nectar, it will result in instant death.
Thiollier will be present in the boss arena, having consumed the nectar in order to hear St. Trina’s words. Despite his efforts, he is disappointed that he is unable to hear anything.
However, it will be your responsibility to relay her words to St. Trina. To initiate a one-sided conversation with her, consume the nectar four times. Continue drinking until she finishes speaking, at which point she will request that you eliminate Miquella to prevent him from achieving godhood.
Inform Thiollier of his statements and communicate with him, despite the fact that he may doubt your honesty and make threats. After finishing the conversation, take a break at the nearest Site of Grace.
Defeat Thiollier
After resting, Thiollier will make an appearance in your world and attempt to eliminate you. Fortunately, defeating him should not be a difficult task, as Thiollier is significantly weaker than other bosses and NPCs. Upon defeating him, you will be rewarded with St. Trina’s Talisman.
Thiollier will be left injured after being defeated.
After returning to St. Trina’s cave, interact with Thiollier once more. Then, rest at the Site of Grace and interact with him again. This time, he will ask you to reveal St. Trina’s words before he succumbs to agony.
This will conclude Thiollier’s journey and allow him to be summoned for the final battle against the final boss in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree.
Despite the Elden Ring DLC offering a formidable challenge, even to seasoned souls players, it is important not to overlook the quests in Shadow of the Erdtree. These quests provide access to some of the most powerful weapons in the game, which will aid in defeating the demanding bosses.
