Where is Brother Corhyn? A Comprehensive Guide to the Wandering Cleric in Elden Ring

Brother Corhyn, a seemingly steadfast figure from the Roundtable Hold, is far from static in Elden Ring. His journey takes him across the Lands Between, driven by his pursuit of knowledge and his enigmatic companion, Goldmask. Locating him can be a key component of his fascinating questline and unlocking valuable incantations. So, where exactly is Brother Corhyn? The answer is not a simple one, as his location shifts based on your progress in the game. Initially, you’ll find him in the Roundtable Hold. However, he moves to multiple locations as you progress through the game. Here’s a breakdown of his whereabouts:

Roundtable Hold: Your first encounter with Brother Corhyn is in the Roundtable Hold, near the main Site of Grace. This is where he acts as a vendor, offering incantations in exchange for prayerbooks.
Altus Plateau: Once you reach the Altus Plateau, Corhyn leaves the Roundtable Hold. You can then find him north of the Altus Highway Junction Site of Lost Grace, near a monument, by the Altus Plateau map fragment.
Leyndell, Royal Capital: After speaking with him in Altus Plateau, and progressing through the main quest, you will find him and Goldmask in Leyndell, Royal Capital, by the Colosseum, looking at the Erdtree. This location is accessible after obtaining two Great Runes.
Mountaintops of the Giants: Once you reach the Mountaintops of the Giants after defeating Morgott, the Omen King, Corhyn and Goldmask relocate to a spot near the Stargazer’s Ruins.
Leyndell, Ashen Capital: After the Capital of Ash event, Corhyn will be found despairing at the bottom of the colosseum cliffs facing the west side of the Erdtree Sanctuary Site of Grace. However, this is only if you DID NOT give him the Tonic of Forgetfulness.
Stargazer’s Ruin (Alternative): If you have given Corhyn the Tonic of Forgetfulness in Mountaintops of the Giants, he will remain there for the remainder of the game instead of moving to the Leyndell, Ashen Capital.

Keeping track of these locations is essential to fully engage with Brother Corhyn’s questline and the broader Elden Ring narrative.

Following Brother Corhyn’s Questline

Following Brother Corhyn’s questline leads to several key locations across the game map. This questline is intertwined with the one of Goldmask and will ultimately unlock the possibility to achieve the “Age of Order” ending. Here is what you should expect in your journey:

Initial Encounter and Early Game

Your first encounter is at the Roundtable Hold, where he offers to sell you incantations in exchange for the prayerbooks. He is located very near the main site of grace. After a certain progression in the game, mostly when the player reaches Altus Plateau, Corhyn will leave the Roundtable Hold and will proceed to travel through the Lands Between.

The Altus Plateau

After Corhyn leaves the Roundtable Hold, he can be found in Altus Plateau near the map fragment. This location is north of the Altus Highway Junction Site of Lost Grace, where the cleric will be standing next to a monument.

Journey to Leyndell, Royal Capital

As you continue your journey, you’ll need to acquire two Great Runes to access Leyndell, the Royal Capital. Once there, find Brother Corhyn and Goldmask near the Colosseum, where they’re researching the mysteries surrounding Radagon.

Mountaintops of the Giants and a Crucial Choice

After you defeat Morgott, the Omen King, and proceed to the Mountaintops of the Giants, you’ll find Corhyn and Goldmask near the Stargazer’s Ruin. This is where you have a crucial decision to make concerning the Tonic of Forgetfulness. If you choose to give it to Corhyn, he will remain here for the rest of the game. If not, his journey will continue to the next stage.

The Ashen Capital

After the Capital of Ash event, you can find Corhyn despairing on the cliffs on the west side of the Erdtree. This happens only if you did not offer Corhyn the Tonic of Forgetfulness in the Mountaintops of the Giants. However, the questline can still be continued if you have given Corhyn the tonic, but it ends on the Mountaintop of the Giants instead of the Ashen Capital.
