Find Alexander, the iron-fisted pot, to get two Talismans.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Complete the Elden Ring Alexander questline to get yourself two Talismans and help this iron-fisted pot out. You\u2019ll hop all over the Lands Between to help this rotund mega-jar on his journey to becoming a noble warrior, starting with freeing him in Limgrave with a good smack. You\u2019ll then go to Caelid, Liurnia, and beyond if you continue helping Alexander on his Elden Ring quest, and he can even offer his services as a summon for certain boss fights. If you\u2019re ready to help Iron Fist Alexander on his quest in Elden Ring, we\u2019ve got all the steps right here.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a map of all the Elden Ring Iron Fist Alexander questline locations to progress his adventure, as well as a breakdown of each stage of the quest:<\/p>\n

1. Free Alexander from the ground near Saintsbridge
\n2. Reach the bottom of Gael Tunnel
\n3. Meet Alexander at Redmane Castle
\n4. Free Alexander again in Liurnia
\n5. Find Alexander bathing in lava
\n6. Find Alexander in Crumbling Farum Azula
\n7. Fight Alexander
\n8. (Optional) Return to Jar Bairn in Jarburg<\/p>\n

However, you can actually skip quite a few of the following steps to make the quest a little easier \u2013 in short, start with step three, then skip freeing him in Liurnia. This quest can feasibly be started within the first hour of playing, but you won\u2019t reach some of the required locations to meet the pot boy again for many, many hours, so make sure you refer to this guide often to see if you can progress.<\/p>\n

Free Alexander From the Ground Near Saintsbridge<\/h2>\n

Alexander can be found very early on in the northern section of Limgrave near the Saintsbridge Site of Grace. Follow his calls for help and you\u2019ll eventually find him wedged in the ground on top of a cliff. Speak to him and he\u2019ll ask you to give him a wallop (hit him from the back with a weapon) to free him. Exhaust Alexander\u2019s dialogue and he\u2019ll tell you about his plans to head east to Caelid. This first step is not essential, and you can skip ahead to meeting Alexander at Redmane Castle to begin his quest instead, although this does serves as a nice introduction to the noble jar!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Reach the Bottom of Gael Tunnel<\/h2>\n

You\u2019ll find the entrance to this mine dungeon in Caelid near the border with Limgrave \u2013 head south from the Shack of the Rotting, and you should come across a small Caelid Soldier camp just outside the tunnel entrance. Work your way through and head down to find a tunnel with a closed wooden door at the end. Open the door to reveal Alexander, then go through all his dialogue to progress.<\/p>\n

Meet Alexander at Redmane Castle<\/h2>\n

Head to the fortress in southern Caelid and you\u2019ll find Alexander there as one of the festival NPCs, so keep speaking to him until he\u2019s got nothing new to say. You\u2019ll find that you\u2019re able to summon him for the boss fight where you\u2019ll need to know how to beat Radahn in Elden Ring too, although this is optional and not necessary for the quest. Make sure that you speak to Alexander again after you\u2019ve beaten Radahn and rested at the Site of Grace!<\/p>\n

Free Alexander Again in Liurnia<\/h2>\n

Head to the Divine Tower in eastern Liurnia and you\u2019ll find Alexander stuck in the ground again just to the south. To free him this time, you\u2019ll need an Oil Pot which is a craftable item. The recipe can be obtained from one of the Elden Ring merchants in Siofra River \u2013 the Abandoned Merchant found in some ruins accessed by climbing wooden scaffolding. Exhaust Alexander\u2019s dialogue once you\u2019ve freed him.<\/p>\n

While this step can be skipped \u2013 go straight to the Mount Gelmir lava pool if you do want to do so \u2013 it does serve as a good opportunity to explore Jarburg and meet Jar Bairn. Find the giant gravestones in the side of the nearby cliff to climb down and reach the village of pot people. You can find Jar Bairn sitting on some steps on a building near the Jarburg Site of Grace.<\/p>\n

Find Alexander Bathing in Lava<\/h2>\n

From the Seethewater Termius Site of Grace in Mount Gelmir, head west towards Fort Laiedd, and then turn southwest past the fort until you reach a big lava lake. You\u2019ll have to defeat a nearby Magma Wyrm boss, but once you\u2019ve done that, you need to run across the lava to reach an island that you can speak to Alexander from. Exhaust his dialogue to learn that he is attempting to reinforce his jar body in the lava\u2019s heat. After this step, you\u2019ll also be able to summon him for the Fire Giant boss fight in the Mountaintops of the Giants, although this is optional and not necessary for the quest.<\/p>\n

Find Alexander in Crumbling Farum Azula<\/h2>\n

Head to Crumbling Farum Azula and use a couple of Elden Ring Stonesword Keys to open a way to a lift and the Dragon Temple Lift Site of Grace. As you walk out the lift archway, you\u2019ll spot an accidental bridge made of ruins. Turn left, run across the fountain plaza, go up the stairs, and then turn right. Hop onto the ruins to reach a rocky ledge on the other side. Press on and cross the ruins to reach a broken bridge section with Alexander on it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fight Alexander<\/h2>\n

Speak to him and you\u2019ll learn that he wants to fight a warrior as great as you. Keep talking to accept his ordeal and start the fight. Sadly, you must defeat the iron-fisted pot to progress and, even if you die, you\u2019ll have to keep challenging him over and over until you do eventually break him to end the quest. After Alexander has been defeated, speak to him and he\u2019ll bestow upon you Alexander\u2019s Innards and the Shard of Alexander Talisman as he dies. You can also collect the Warrior Jar Shard Talisman from his body after he is dead.<\/p>\n

(Optional) Return to Jar Bairn in Jarburg<\/h2>\n

If you want some true closure on Iron Fist Alexander\u2019s story, you can return to Jar Bairn and give them Alexander\u2019s Innards. If this is the first time you\u2019ve spoken to Jar Bairn, you\u2019ll have to exhaust their dialogue and rest at the nearby Site of Grace to get new dialogue, so keep doing this until you get the option to give them the innards. They\u2019ll be incredibly thankful for the gift and will say they\u2019re ready to set out on their own warrior jar journey. Rest at the nearby Site of Grace again and Jar Bairn will leave the Jar Companion Talisman behind to end Iron Fist Alexander\u2019s story.<\/p>\n

Elden Ring Alexander Questline Rewards<\/h2>\n

Alexander\u2019s quest in Elden Ring will give you quite a few rewards along the way and the end rewards are pretty good. Here\u2019s what you get for helping the warrior jar to the end:<\/p>\n
