Elden Ring Quest FAQ

How many quests are in Elden Ring?

This page lists 48 major NPC questlines: 37 from the base game and 11 from Shadow of the Erdtree, across 11 starting regions. Other guides may count shared NPCs, endings, or smaller side lines differently.

What is the best order for Elden Ring quests?

Open Quests in Order. Questlines are grouped by where they usually start, following the same region path as the progression guide: Limgrave → Weeping Peninsula → Liurnia of the Lakes → Caelid → Altus Plateau → Mt. Gelmir → Leyndell, Royal Capital, then the DLC regions Gravesite Plain → Southern Shore → Scadu Altus → Jagged Peak. If a quest is marked missable, finish what you care about before major story locks in that area.

Can I track Elden Ring quest progress here?

Yes. Mark any of the 48 questlines complete from the list, order view, or checklist. Progress saves in this browser and also appears in the 100% checklist.

Are quests tracked step by step?

No. You mark a whole NPC questline when it is finished — for example Ranni, Millicent, or Alexander — not each intermediate step. For a denser route with more individual steps, use the walkthrough.

Which Elden Ring quests are missable?

34 questlines are marked missable here (26 base game, 8 DLC). That means they can lock out after story progress, area changes, or rival quest choices. Use the list as a warning before big story beats; it is not a full failure guide for every branch.

Does this include Shadow of the Erdtree quests?

Yes — 11 DLC questlines, including ones that start in Gravesite Plain, Scadu Altus, Jagged Peak, and the Southern Shore. Filter to Shadow of the Erdtree, or jump to the DLC section below.

How is this different from the progression guide and walkthrough?

Use the progression guide when you need the next area and level range. Use the walkthrough when you want a step-by-step route. Use this page when you want every major NPC questline, a region order, missable warnings, and a simple completion tracker.

Where are quest rewards listed?

Quest rewards are not listed on this page. While you play, browse the weapons, armor, and talisman pages for gear you pick up along the way.
