Elden Ring - All The Magic Walkthrough

ELDEN RING ALL MAGIC WALKTHROUGH

WHAT THIS GUIDE IS-
I made this for myself because I always get hung up on where to go next and making sure I don't miss any quests.  I ended up fleshing it out so others could use it if they wanted, though it's admittedly for a niche build.  It's made to be used in conjunction with a map and sends you to the Fextra walkthroughs for some of the complex dungeons.

*This guide does have spoilers*  *Also if I've missed anything let me know and I'll add it in.*

This guide is for my INT/FAITH pure spellcaster.  I started Astrologer and got through the game using Sorceries and specced into both Int and Faith later.  It gets all Sorceries, Incantations, Staves, Seals, armor sets and any Talismans that could be relevant for casting including utility Talismans.  It does Ranni, Fia, Seluvis, Sellen, Corhyn/Goldmask, Millicent questlines, Volcano Manor, etc.  It does Not do questlines that don't give us anything like Boc the Seamster or Blackguard Big Boggart.  It Does kill Dung Eater for his Omen set since it boosts Omen Bairns.  It does Not generally get faith/int weapons so make a note of any that interest you and add them into the guide.  It grabs Sword of Night and Flame and Golden Epitaph and a few others.  I enjoy PVP so it tries to get all gestures/Prattling Pates.  It gets you max and fully upgraded flasks as well as all Physick Flask Tears.  It gets all Deathroots and plenty of Dragon Hearts (though I didn't spec into Arcane much except to try out the Bubble sorceries.  It doesn't worry much about getting upgrade materials that are out of our way and we can get infinite of once we have the Bell-Bearings, which it does get.  Though I believe it gets all Somber and regular Ancient Smithing Stones since they are limited.  It does make sure you get an earlyish +9 Somber (unique) weapon.  It doesn't care about Ashes of War except for the one for Staves.  It doesn't care much about summons since you can't use them in PvP but we get Mimic Tear along the way and enough materials to upgrade it fully. Its strength is mostly in getting you through the open world smoothly and helping you get through the clunky quests.

STORMVEIL CASTLE

I've made a walkthrough for this dungeon getting us the items we need but if you like follow the Fextralife wiki walkthrough.  https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Stormveil+Castle

Run through and get the Castleward Tunnel grace.  Summon Rogier for the Margit fight if you like.  Continue to the Stormveil Main Gate grace.  Go inside the building to the left and talk to Gostoc.  Exit through the hole in the wall to the cliffside area.  Jump up on to the ledge and follow the path around to the broken wall.  Drop into the courtyard and run straight across to the Stormveil Cliffside grace.  Rest at the grace to reset the bird aggro.  Run up the wooden platforms and range down the 3 guards before going inside.

Take your time and take out the fire throwers as you work your way up a few flights of stairs.  When you get to the top turn on your lamp and enter the door on your right to get locked in with a Banished Knight.  Defeat the Banished Knight and get the Rusty Key.  Drop down to the floor below and go through the previously locked door.

Climb the ladder and turn left and run outside.  Turn left again and follow the path up the stairs to the room with the patrolling Banished Knight. Ignore the knight and run up the stairs and continue into the room ahead of you for the Rampart Tower grace.  The most important grace in the tower for us as it gives us the most mobility for the items we are interested in.

Take the door to the outside and target lock to range down the 3 Stormhawks before they can take flight.  Look over the ledge at the rampart where the last one was perched and drop down to a hidden area below.  Drop down again onto a thin ledge of the castle.  Continue working your way down onto lower and lower ledges until the ground gives way.  Kill the Teardrop Scarab where you land.  Use any pre-emptive flasks and buffs and continue forwards to beat the Crucible Knight for the Crucible: Horns incantation.  Keep going forward and take the lift up to where we were before.

From the Rampart Tower grace run past where the 3 Stormhawks were and onto the roof of the chapel.  Enter through a window and drop down into the chapel itself go in and talk to Rogier.

Fast-travel back to Rampart Tower and go outside again.  Take a running leap off the corner of the tower onto the nearby roof below.  It's not a hard jump but you need to make sure you're holding sprint at the time you jump to get the long jump version.  Drop down from the roof onto the castle walkway below and enter the room with the fireplace inside.  Continue through the upper level until you go outside again to an area with a big hanging corpse and pile of corpses below.  Continue on to the next room with a patrolling Banished Knight.  Run/Sneak in and grab the Mimic's Veil and leave the way you came.

Back outside with the pile of corpses, kill the dogs below then drop down for the Chrysalid Memento (and later, once Roderika is set up as a Spirit Ash upgrader, you can return here for the Crimson Hood).  The very next room over is a lift that is a shortcut back to Rampart Tower grace.  Unlock the lift but stay down there.

In the room with the big painting and the Grafted Scion, if you're facing the painting, the back left door will lead us through another room and outside to the courtyard.  Head outside and take a sharp left to head down some stairs into a room with 4 rats.  Kill the rats and proceed on through the Imp Statue door to get the Godslayer Seal and Godskin Prayerbook.

Continue through the room and outside.  You'll be looking at the front of the castle.  Turn left and look at the archway across the coutyard.  Through it is a grace that we will use to get to the Tower of Limgrave later.  Before you drop down kill the 4 ballista shooters below you.  Now drop down to ground level and run straight across the courtyard, through the archway and to the Limgrave Tower Bridge grace.

If you want the Dozing Cross-Legged gesture fast-travel back to the Rampart Tower grace.  Stay inside the building this time and take the stairs up to the next level, continue through to the outside area.  Jump to the ledge straight across from you and hop across to the nearby tower.  Work your way around the edge and drop down onto a building with a Stormhawk waiting to ambush.  The gesture is at the end of this roof.

Fast-travel back to the Rampart Tower grace for the last time.  Run and do the same jump off the corner of the building to the roof down below.  Now drop on down into the courtyard itself.  Stay to the left side and run around the courtyard to the backside ignoring all enemies.  Run up the stairs and turn left to enter the room with the Liftside Chamber grace.

Exit the way you came in and take a sharp right to find a corpse sitting on a ledge.  Drop off the ledge onto the area below and work your way down to ground level.  This area is fairly straightforward.  A Teardrop Scarab on the way will get you Rancorcall sorcery.  An Ulcerated Tree Spirit boss waits at the end of the underground section.  Afterwards go to where the big alien face is and check the bloodstain to see how Rogier died.

From the Liftside Chamber grace take the lift up and follow the path straight on through to the Secluded Cell grace.  Exit left from the grace room and run past the giant for the golden seed.  Ahead is a small room with Nepheli Loux.

Now fast-travel back to Secluded Cell grace and defeat Godrick.  Past Godrick is the throne room.  Go down below that and grab the Shabriri Grape.

Go speak with Varre in Limgrave then return to roundtable.  Talk to everyone at roundtable. Power up Godrick Great Rune at Divine Tower of Limgrave (reached from the Limgrave Tower Bridge grace we unlocked earlier).  Once you've talked with Hewg and Roderika a couple of times each and have spirit summoning unlocked you can get the Crimson Hood.  Back in Stormveil Castle where you fought the Grafted Scion exit out the door where the dogs and pile of corpses were to find the hood.

Back outside the chapel go through the smaller side door and up to get The Stormhawk King quest item for later.  Just past it is Stormhawk Deenh summon if you want it.

I recommend looting the whole of Nokstella since there are a lot of good things to grab.

Go to the SW corner of the area (running past the difficult mobs but defeat the dragons if you want the hearts) and complete the puzzle there at Chelona's Rise which will require you finding 3 turtles hidden around the plateau (as of this writing the quest always bugs for me, but I find getting 2/3 turtles still breaks the seal.  I get the one West of the tower hanging off the cliff, and then one flying in the air near Ringleader's Evergaol). This gives you the Ranni's Dark Moon sorcery.

Follow the Fextralife wiki walkthrough for Crumbling Farum Azula.  https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Crumbling+Farum+Azula

From the Remembrance of the Black Blade we want the Black Blade incantation and from the remembrance of the Dragonlord we want Placidusax's Ruin incantation.  Gideon Ofnir will be gone now but we can get his loot at the end just the same.  Be sure to find Alexander in his last location by going to the Dragon Temple Lift grace (accessed by using Stonesword Keys) running past the undead, turn right and jump across some ruin archways to reach his location.

CONSECRATED SNOWFIELD

Fast-Travel to the Grand Lift of Rold and this time use the other option to hoist the secret medallion and head up to the Hidden Path to the Haligtree.

In the big open room drop off the balcony onto the invisible path (look for floating player messages).  Complete this dungeon for the Spelldrake Talisman +2, Silver Scarab Talisman and Deathroot from the boss.  You should have all deathroots now for the Beast Clergyman.

Exit out and follow the lights North to the Consecrated Snowfield grace. Head NE for a Golden Seed (if you still need any) then turn sharper East to the wall to find the Consecrated Snowfield Catacombs. Complete the catacombs if you want the Imp Head (Elder) or the Rottengravekeeper Cloak from the boss.

Continue North and slightly West to the Albinauric Rise.  Use either bewitching branch on the imp or the Fanged Imp ashes summon to solve the puzzle (help your summon kill the lone imp).  Grab the Graven Mass Talisman from the top of the rise.

Double back SW along the cliffs and then when you can safely cut West do so.  Follow the lights to the Inner Consecrated Snowfield grace and better visibility.  Head North to grab the much needed Map Fragment and travel back. At the caravan to the SW of the grace at Night there is a dual Night's Cavalry fight.  Beating them both gets you the Night's Cavalry set and an Ancient Dragon Smithing stone.

Go SW from the caravan to get to Yelough Anix Tunnel.  Continue through the dungeon until you get to a room with wooden walkways.  Drop down into a lower area, defeat the Alabaster Lord and loot the Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone.  Continue and beat the boss of the dungeon for the Meteorite of Astel sorcery.

Head just North to the Yelough Anix Ruins.  In a room blocked off by 4 walls do some parkouring with Torrent to jump into to get the Unendurable Frenzy incantation.  Continue NW and beat the Sanguine Noble invader for the Sanguine set. Head West to Find a portal to the Mohgwyn Palace area.

MOHGWYN PALACE

In the Mohgwyn Palace area head back to the familiar Palace Approach Ledge-Road grace and follow the Eastern wall North until you get to a small cave.  Grab the Swarm of Flies incantation from there.  Continue following the wall ignoring enemies and follow it around and back South again to the Map Fragment and Dynasty Mausoleum Entrance grace if you did not grab these before.

Fast-travel back to Palace Approach Ledge-Road grace and head down into the blood swamp.  Follow along the South edge of the swamp (the area where the bird that you farm is) until you get invaded by the White Mask Invader.  Defeating this singular invader gets me the War Surgeon set but if you don't get it continue around the swamp and defeat the other two.  Go along the Western wall of the swamp to a graveyard section and grab the Haligdrake Talisman +2.

Fast-Travel back to the Dynasty Mausoleum Entrance and head up the stairs.  Run past the zombies and into the ruins.  At the end of the ruins is the Dynasty Mausoleum Midpoint grace.  Get it and double back just inside the ruins to the Red Summon Sign.  Invade in and defeat Varre.  Then reload the area for his loot.  When you get to the group of Albinauric worshippers at the statue, grab the Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing stone from the chest at the foot of the statue.

Go and beat Mohg.  Use the Purifying Cystal Tear when you get 3 rings around you and before he finishes his countdown (or you might can just mow him down with Comet Azur and infinite mana physick).  From the Remembrance of the Blood Lord we want the Bloodboon incantation.

If you've head an appropriate level for yourself and have a lot of runes then invest in Smithing Stones.

FINISH CONSECRATED SNOWFIELD

Fast-Travel back to the Inner Consecrated Snowfield grace and travel NW along the icy river.  Beat Anastasia for the Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone.  Continue all the way NW past the artillery shooting Mausoleum and to the Apostate Derelict.  Summon Latenna at the foot of the giant Albinauric for the Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone.  Grab the Silver Mirrorshield from the church as well.

Pass time until night and then head SE and down the hill to the end of the frozen river.  Defeat the Death Rite Bird for the Explosive Ghostflame sorcery.  Continue South along the river going East when you can.  Grab the golden seed and continue East to Ordina Liturgical Town grace.

Go East and then South when you get near the Minor Erdtree.  Defeat the Putrid Avatar for the Ruptured Crystal Tear and Thorny Cracked Tear.

Head South from the tree and use the tomb platforms to drop down into the Cave of the Forlorn area near the end of the frozen river.  Stop in and get the Cave of the Forlorn grace if you like and then leave (if you have an abundance of Stonesword Keys).  Head just East and beat Great Wyrm Theodorix for the Theodorix's Magma incantation.  Continue East and up the ledge by the frozen waterfall for an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone.

Fast-travel to Ordina grace and head around to the back of the town for the  Black Knife Set found under an arch.  Follow the Fextralife wiki on how to get through the town safely to light the 4 candles and clear the way to the Haligtree.  Candles will stay lit if you die so you won't lose progress.  With the seal broken head north through the Waygate to Miquella's Haligtree area.

HALIGTREE

At the Haligtree run along the roots until you get to the area with the giant ants.  Go North until you can take a thinner branch to your right for the "My Beloved" Prattling Pate.  Turn and head back and run under the big bubble spewing enemy to the Haligtree Town grace.  A couple of casts of Unseen Form can allow you to run straight through to the grace mostly unnoticed.

There's not a whole lot we want from this next stretch of the area.  Head up the nearby ladder and defeat the Misbegottens to get to the Pearldrake Talisman +2.  Continue through the area until you get to the Haligtree Town Plaza grace, then double back to the large Misbegotten praying at the statue run and grab the Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone from in front of it and return to the grace you just unlocked.

In the next area jump across the buildings and locate the three summoning snails to eliminate.  Then look back the way you came and jump into the open building to get to the Viridian Amber Medallion +2.  Continue through the rest of the area and beat Loretta for the Haligtree Promenade grace.  Continue down towards Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree but before you take the lift down, run up the nearby stairs to a chest with a Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone.

ELPHAEL

Everything we want from this area is pretty close to us fortunately because it's a difficult area.  When you leave the room with the grace turn right and drop down one level.  You're on the roof of the building with the Triple Rings of Light incantation.  Kill the guards below and drop down, use 2 Stonesword Keys and get it.

Now turn and run North past the guards.  When you get to the massive pillar on your right close enough to jump to, do it.  Go around to the back of the pillar and drop down.  Don't worry if you've aggro'd the Erdtree Avatar.  Keep running and dodging when necessary South to the end of the walkway for the Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone.

Drop down to the building to your right after grabbing the Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone. You're now on the roof of the next item we want, Marika's Soreseal.  Drop down and stay close to the building so no Revenants pop out, use your Stonesword Keys and get the item.  Lastly we want another Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone-Along the upper path found in a chest hidden between columns near a roof with a corpse (use the wiki map if you want to see where in the zone it is.  Now you can work your way to the end of this area.  I recommend fast-traveling back and returning to where the Erdtree Avatar rampart is/was.  Head North and work your way to the end of the area where the ballista's are.  Towards the end, you can run past the second Erdtree Avatar and the tough knights to get to the Inner Elphael grace.

You can farm for the Rotten Crystal Staff from the Crystalian Mage near the Elphael Inner Wall grace.  Stand on the roots, target the mage and cast a charged Night Maiden's Mist for an easy farm.  Rock sling also works ok.

Work your way across the rot areas and down to the Drainage Channel grace.  Now backtrack to fight the Ulcerated Tree Spirit. After it's dead there will be two summon signs near where the boss was.  Choose to help Millicent beat her 4 sisters for the Rotten Winged Sword Insignia.  Talk to Millicent and exhaust dialogue.  Reload the area and return to receive the Unalloyed Gold Needle.

Fast-travel back to the Drainage Channel grace.  Proceed down the roots, through the building and down to ground level.  Outside there is a graveyard littered with Kindred of Rots.  You can work your way to the end for a Ghost-Glovewort Picker's Bell Bearing (3) if you want.  Otherwise run to the end of the ground level of the building and enter the lift down to the Haligtree Roots grace.

For Malenia I used Night Comet, with Prince of Death's Staff main hand and Staff of Loss offhand.  After defeating Malenia use the Unalloyed Gold Needle on the flower in her arena to get Miquella's Needle and a Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone.  The Traveler's set is in this area as well.

Return to Gowry in Caelid and exhaust his dialogue then kill him for the Flock's Canvas Talisman and Gowry's Bell Bearing to purchase any of his spells you have not already.  Go to Enia and use the Remembrance of the Rot Goddess to get the Scarlet Aeonia incantation.  Return to Placidusax's arena at Crumbling Farum Azula and use Miquella's Needle if you want to undo the Frenzied Flame ending.

LEYNDELL, CAPITAL OF ASH

Fast-Travel to the Leyndell, Capital of Ash and speak with Corhyn.  Head to the SW section of this area to find a small path down towards the Coliseum.  Follow the path to find Goldmask and the Mending Rune of Perfect Order.  Reload the area and re-visit Corhyn and Goldmask for their sets.  From the Capital of Ash grace go West, along the dragon.  Enter the building past it and climb the ladder.  Go over the railing to the right past an enemy gargoyle guarding to a corpse with a Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone.

If you want the Erdtree's Favor +2 fast-travel to the Forbidden Lands grace, take the elevator back up to the city.  Run through and take another elevator back down.  Head down into the nearby courtyard, staying close to the left wall to avoid the Ulcerated Tree Spirits.

From the Capital of Ash grace, head up to the Erdtree Sanctuary where you fought Godfrey's Shade in the capital and beat Sir Gideon Ofnir.  You can purchase his 3 incantations that we didn't get before - Black Flame's Protection, Law of Causality, and Lord's Divine Fortification from the Twin Maiden Husks at Roundtable Hold.  Now continue on to the Queen's Bedchamber grace for the Erdtree Heal incantation.

With that we have all the Sorceries, Incantations, Staves, Seals and everything we'll need for your spellcaster build.  Congratulations!  Go ahead and beat Godfrey and Elden Beast if you like.  For Elden beast second phase, run just behind it when the fight starts and channel Meteorite of Astel to get a good head start on its health bar.  For defense Lord's Divine Fortification and Haligdrake Talisman +2 are good against the Holy damage.
