Every Step of the Duchess Class Quest in Elden Ring Nightreign ~ HaploGamingChef

Unlocking the Duchess Class

To kick off the Duchess questline in Elden Ring: Nightreign, the first thing you need is the Old Pocketwatch Relic. It usually drops after defeating Night Lord Gladius, who’s often the first major boss players encounter.

Once you've secured the relic, return to Roundtable Hold. There, interact with the Priestess NPC. Show her the pocketwatch, then hand it over. This unlocks the Duchess class as a playable option.

Tip: To proceed with the Duchess quest, you also need access to the Revenant class, which ties into later steps.

How to Unlock the Revenant Class

You’ll need the Besmirched Frame Relic for this. It’s available for purchase at the Small Jar Bazaar. After buying it, reload your game and head to the eastern part of Roundtable Hold. A phantom will appear — interact with it to be transported to a battle arena.

Here, defeat either the Revenant or the Night Idol. If you fail, no worries — you can try again. A good strategy is to distract or ignore the larger phantoms and focus on the Night Idol. Use strong abilities like Wylder’s Ultimate Art to close out the fight.

Completing this unlocks the Revenant class, opening the path to continue Duchess’s storyline.

Starting the First Duchess Remembrance

With the Duchess unlocked, enter an Expedition and progress to Day 3. By then, you should receive Chapter 3 of Duchess’s journal, which triggers her first Remembrance.

Here’s what to do:

Speak to Raider, then Wylder, and then back to Raider.
Your personal objective will now be to Find armament maintenance materials in Limveld.

Load into a match playing as Duchess. If your personal objective is active, a red icon will appear on the map. Look toward the southwest area of Limveld.

Defeat the Guardians of the Dew and grab the Golden Dew nearby. Finish the Expedition (you don’t have to beat the final boss) to get credit.

Back at Roundtable Hold:

Give the Golden Dew to Wylder to earn Faded Iron Coins.
Speak to Raider, then the Revenant, and finally the Iron Menial NPC.
Use the portal that appears to exit the Remembrance.

Reward: You’ll get the Golden Dew Relic, usable at the Relic Rites Station.

Second Remembrance: The Pita Bread Event

After completing one Expedition with Duchess, you’ll unlock Chapter 5 of her journal.

Steps:

Find Wylder sleeping near the kitchen area.
Eat the bread nearby to start a dialogue with him and receive the Pita Bread item.
Bring it to the Iron Menial and exhaust his dialogue options.
Use the portal to exit.

Reward: You’ll obtain the Duchess’ Chalice.

Third Remembrance: Duel with the Revenant

Next, in Chapter 6, return to the kitchen area and talk to Raider. Choose the dialogue option:

“Maybe we shouldn’t defeat the Nightlord.”

Then:

Find the note on the central roundtable.
Head to the southern shoreline to meet the Revenant.
A duel begins. Ignore the side enemies and concentrate on dodging the Revenant’s claw attacks while landing quick strikes.

Upon victory:

Speak to the Revenant to receive the Crown Medal.

Before wrapping up this Remembrance, you’ll get another personal objective:

“Find the message in Limveld.”

The location is by a cliff in the northeast section of the map. Defeat the Fallen Mercenaries and grab the Weathervane’s Words from a tombstone.

Complete the match and return to Roundtable Hold:

Share the message with Raider.
Use the portal to exit.

Reward: Receive the Crown Medal Relic.

Final Remembrance: The Blessed Coin

To unlock the last Remembrance, you’ll likely need to:

Beat at least four different Night Lords during Expeditions.
Complete Wylder’s questline through Chapter 7, which includes retrieving the Silver Tear from Noklateo.

Once ready, access Chapter 8 of Duchess’s journal. Begin by:

Blessing the Iron Coin at the roundtable.
Head to the Crypt to speak with the Iron Menial and hand him the coin.
Exhaust his dialogue.

Then:

Find Wylder in the wardrobe or study and say:

“Let us defeat the Night Lord.”

Return to the Menial for final dialogue.

Final Reward:
You’ll earn the Blessed Iron Coin Relic and unlock Duchess’s final journal entry. You’ll also receive the Remembrance Garb (Duchess’s exclusive outfit).
