In this guide to Elden Ring, we show you how to complete the quest of Thiollier, one of the new NPCs from the DLC “Shadow of the Erdtree”.
Where can you find Thiollier? The quest of this NPC is one of the side stories in the Elden Ring DLC. Thiollier is a follower of St. Trina, the goddess of sleep.
You will find him early in the DLC, in the east of the Gravefield Plain. From the grace “Three-Way Crossroads”, ride northeast and cross the large bridge, behind which lies Castle Ensis. Before that, turn right and follow the path south.
Where the path forks, choose the descending path and reach a cliff where you will find the grace “Cross at the Columned Hall”. Next to one of the valuable Scadubaum fragments, for which you can find a separate guide on MeinMMO here, you will also meet Thiollier.
He tells you that he follows Miquella and that he is well-versed in poison. From now on, he is available as a merchant. We will now show you all the steps to complete the Thiollier quest. With our directory, you can quickly jump to the individual steps.
Solve Thiollier’s Quest – All Steps
How do you solve the quest? To solve the quest involving Thiollier, you must first find St. Trina at the rift in the stone coffin. This NPC is essential for continuing Thiollier’s journey.
Find the Rift in the Stone Coffin
How do you find the Rift in the Stone Coffin? Start from the grace “Front of the Castle” in front of Castle Ensis and ride southeast until you reach a poisonous swamp. From there, follow the path north to a riverbed. Now proceed west, where you will find a tunnel that leads to the grace “Cave at Ellac”.
From there, go along the river south. You need to jump over the rocks and overcome some platforming. Work your way down to the next grace. Jump further down, pass the furnace golem, and reach the Sky Blue Shore along with its grace.
Ride south to the tip of the peninsula. Look for a hole in the ground, the rift.
Warning: This part of the area can only be explored after Miquella’s seal is broken. This happens when you approach the entrance of Castle Shadowbergfried. You will then hear a loud noise.
Defeat the Rot Knight and Find the Deep Violet Garden
Once the seal is destroyed, you can descend into the rift. This will take you to the underground area “Rift in the Stone Coffin”. Many guardians guard the ruin, so be prepared for ranged combat. To reach its end, you must defeat the boss Rot Knight. Thiollier can be summoned as an NPC.
The Rot Knight is agile and can quickly move around the arena on his horse. Also, watch out for his ranged attacks and throwing blade, which he likes to throw through the air like a boomerang.
After the fight, you will enter the Deep Violet Garden and thus find the whereabouts of St. Trina. Return to Thiollier and tell him about it. He will travel there and will be in a strange state afterwards.
Revive at the Nectar and Defeat Thiollier
What are the next steps? Talk to St. Trina. Choose the option “Revive at the Nectar” in the dialogue. This will lead to your immediate death. You must perform the same action three more times, for a total of four deaths.
Afterward, you will hear St. Trina’s voice during your demise. Then talk to Thiollier again, who has remained on the spot and wants to fall asleep. Choose the dialogue option “Pass on St. Trina’s words”. Then Thiollier will become angry and furious that you were able to hear St. Trina’s words.
You must drink the poison once more, after which you will be thrown into an arena where you will encounter Thiollier. He shouldn’t pose much of a problem. Once he is defeated, return to St. Trina and drink the nectar one more time. She will give you the task to kill Miquella.
Summon Thiollier at the Final Boss
How do you complete the quest? Once you have defeated Messmer, you can burn the Scadubaum. Be careful, after this event there is no going back, so complete any other quests by then.
Return to St. Trina once more. Although you have defeated him, you will still find Thiollier in the cave. He lies there on the ground lamenting that he could not fulfill all his wishes. Drink the nectar one last time, talk to Thiollier again, and hear him say: “A-Ah.” Once you have done this, you can summon the NPC in the battle against Leda and her allies.
This concludes the quest. For the final boss, summon him one more time. After the fight, Thiollier will drop his equipment. At this point, Thiollier’s quest ends. Are you looking for more guides for Elden Ring? On MeinMMO we have compiled an overview for you.
