Everything is laid out step-by-step, in a straightforward and casual format, so you can focus on enjoying the game without missing key moments or wasting time.
Let’s get started with the first requirement to trigger Wylder’s quest!
How to Start Wylder’s Quest in Nightreign DLC
To begin the Wylder quest in Elden Ring, your first task is to get the Old Pocket Watch. You can earn this guaranteed item by completing one Tricephalos Expedition and defeating the boss Gladius, Beast of Night. Once you beat Gladius, the Old Pocket Watch drops automatically. Take this item and give it to the Priestess NPC, which will unlock access to the Duchess character and officially kick off Wylder’s remembrance path.
Next, head to the Journal in Round Table Hold, and go to Chapter 3 in Wylder’s journal. Select “Begin Remembrance” to activate the questline. From here, walk into the next room near the Journal and talk to the Iron Menial NPC. Accept his task by responding with “Understood.” You’ll now have a personal objective tied to Wylder. Make sure you’re playing as Wylder when attempting to complete it. If you're with a group, each player needs to complete it individually across three runs.
Completing the First Objective for Wylder
Your objective is flagged with a red marker on the map. Follow it to reach a mine shaft, where you’ll descend to its deepest level. Look for a legendary item embedded in the wall—approaching it will trigger a fight with a Tunnel Crystalian. Once defeated, you can collect the Slate Whetstone Relic. Whether you finish the expedition or not, collecting the relic is enough to complete this part.
Return to Round Table Hold and hand the relic to the Iron Menial to receive multiple rewards, the most important being the Mended Earring. Take both earrings into the nearby room and hold them under the light. Next, speak with the Duchess and give her the Mended Earring. A portal will appear nearby—use it to exit the remembrance and mark this segment as complete.
Beginning Chapter 5 of Wylder’s Remembrance
To continue the Wylder Remembrance walkthrough, head back to the journal and begin Chapter 5. If the option isn’t available, you might need to complete at least one more expedition while using Wylder. Once it’s unlocked, make your way to the library section in the western part of the hold. Interact with three specific books inside—doing this unlocks a door that leads down into the mausoleum through a nearby staircase.
Inside the mausoleum, interact with all three sarcophagi to trigger new dialogue options. Head back and speak with the Iron Menial. Choose the prompt asking “About the Priestess of the Roundtable.” To complete this remembrance, exit to the beach area where you’ll find the Duchess again. Ask her “Are you trapped here?” and use the portal that appears after the conversation. Finishing this part rewards you with Wylder’s Chalice, which can be equipped at the Relic Rites station. It includes a unique white slot that accepts any Relic color.
Unlocking the Night Aspect and Prepping for Chapter 7
Progressing further requires some extra steps. You’ll need to defeat four different Night Lord Targets before the game allows access to the Night Aspect, the final Expedition Target. While using Wylder for all of them is not strictly necessary, it may help in ensuring quest continuity. By now, you should also complete the Duchess’ questline up through Chapter 7, since her path intersects with Wylder’s story at several points.
Once Chapter 7 of Wylder’s Remembrance becomes available, activate it and read the note on the nearby table. Head back into the mausoleum, and at the bottom of the staircase, locate a chest to your left. It contains the Torn-Out Paper Scrap. After obtaining it, return to the main hall and find the Recluse NPC. Ask about “taking the Nightlord’s power.” Your reply likely affects the storyline, but choosing “It does” will allow progression to continue smoothly.
Accessing Noklateo and the Silver Tear Objective
Next, speak with the Iron Menial and select the prompt “About the whereabouts of a silver tear.” To complete this new personal objective, you must unlock the final Shifting Earth event called “Noklateo, the Shrouded City.” This event typically unlocks after you defeat the Fissure in the Fog Target, which should be your seventh unique Expedition Target. If Noklateo has already appeared once and ended, you’ll need to defeat more Night Lords until it randomly becomes available again.
Once the event begins, ensure you’re playing as Wylder and that no other characters are trying to complete personal objectives at the same time. When ready, start the expedition and make your way deep into Noklateo. This zone is packed with tough enemies, so it’s smart to spend the first day outside the city leveling up. By Day 2, you’ll want to be around level 8 or 9. Then, push into the southwest entrance of the city and find a way down into the sewers.
Defeating the Mimic Troll and Collecting the Silver Tear
Inside Noklateo’s sewers, continue moving southeast, past an archway near a group of Basilisks. This path leads to a spiritspring which boosts you up to the inner sanctum. Just past the first Site of Grace, look south-southeast for a sarcophagus with a glowing golden item. Interacting with it spawns a Mimic Troll, a challenging enemy you must defeat. Once done, collect the Silver Tear—this marks your personal objective complete. Whether you finish the expedition or fail, you’ll keep the item.
While you’re still in Noklateo, you may want to explore further. There’s another sarcophagus to the southwest where you can duplicate an Armament, though you might want to save this for later. Ahead is a very tough boss: Naturalborn of the Void. To reach it, head northwest, then go southwest at the next Site of Grace. This leads you to the city’s southwest structure, where the boss awaits. Defeating it grants you legendary gear and unlocks a permanent buff that revives you once and boosts your damage temporarily—great for handling final bosses.
Finishing Wylder’s Chapter 7 and Unlocking His Skin
After wrapping up your exploration of Noklateo and collecting the Silver Tear, head back to Round Table Hold. Speak with the Iron Menial again, then use the nearby portal to finish Chapter 7 of Wylder’s Remembrance. Completing this grants you the Silver Tear Relic and unlocks the Wylder Remembrance skin, changing his appearance.
Before starting the final quest step, make sure the Silver Tear Relic is equipped. You’ll now need to successfully finish the last Expedition where the boss is the Night Aspect. This battle can be tough, especially if you’re under-leveled, so be well-prepared. Your setup from Noklateo will be helpful here, especially the revival buff if you defeated Naturalborn of the Void earlier.
Achieving the Alternate Ending and Final Rewards
When the final expedition is complete, you’ll be taken to an alternate post-game cutscene. Approach and interact with the Night Lord to trigger the alternate ending for Wylder. This will unlock Chapter 9 of Wylder’s journal and reward you with the final relic: Wylder’s Earring. This relic rounds out the full set, giving Wylder some of the most versatile customization options available in the Nightreign DLC.
And with that, you’ve now completed every major step of the Wylder quest in Elden Ring. Whether you wanted all relics, story lore, or powerful buffs, this path covers it all. If you're still stuck or want more help, check out player forums or videos for route examples. But with this walkthrough, you should be set to master Wylder’s journey from start to finish.
