Diallos in Jarburg: A Tarnished Traveler’s Guide
So, you’re searching for Diallos Hoslow in Jarburg, the village of living jars nestled south of the Carian Study Hall in Liurnia of the Lakes. You’re not alone. He can be a bit elusive, even after you’ve met the necessary prerequisites. The short answer is: you’ll find Diallos inside one of the small shacks located along the east side of the main road running through Jarburg. He will usually be talking to a jar.
However, simply knowing where to look is only half the battle. Getting him to appear, understanding his role in Jarburg’s narrative, and maximizing your rewards from his questline requires a deeper dive. Let’s unravel the mysteries of Diallos’s journey and his eventual arrival in this peculiar, pottery-filled settlement.
Understanding Diallos’s Journey to Jarburg
Before you even think about setting foot in Jarburg, you need to understand the crucial steps that lead Diallos there. He doesn’t just magically appear; his presence is tied to progression in both the Volcano Manor and Jar-Bairn’s questlines.
The Volcano Manor Connection
Diallos is initially found at the Roundtable Hold, searching for his missing servant, Lanya. His questline truly begins to intertwine with the larger narrative when you join Volcano Manor. Here’s where things get a little tricky, and potentially, where many players get stuck. There are several conditions that lead to Diallos leaving the Manor and relocating to Jarburg.
The quickest way to get Diallos to head to Jarburg is to complete the second assassination for the Volcano Manor (the target being Rileigh the Idle). After completing this task, it is best to fast travel back and forth to the Roundtable Hold and Volcano Manor once or twice to get him to move.
Alternatively, defeating Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy, will also trigger his departure from the Manor.
Important Note: If you complete the Volcano Manor legacy dungeon before speaking to Diallos, he will not appear in Jarburg and you will not be able to complete his quest.
Starting the Jar-Bairn Quest
You’ll also need to begin the Jar-Bairn questline before Diallos will appear in Jarburg. This involves speaking with Jar-Bairn, the young jar child, and agreeing to become his “Potentate”. After exhausting their dialogue, rest at the nearby Site of Grace. After several steps of the Jar-Bairn questline (providing the Alexander’s Innards), Diallos will show up in Jarburg.
Finding Diallos: A Step-by-Step Guide
Once you’ve met the prerequisites, follow these steps to locate Diallos:
- Fast Travel to the Jarburg Site of Grace.
- Head down the path into the village.
- Look for the small shacks on the eastern side of the road.
- Diallos will be inside one of these shacks, typically talking to a jar.
If he isn’t there, try resting at the Site of Grace and checking again. It may take a few attempts for him to appear.
Completing Diallos’s Questline
Finding Diallos is just the first step. To fully complete his questline and reap the rewards, you’ll need to:
- Talk to both Diallos and Jar-Bairn until they have no new dialogue. Exhaust all conversation options.
- Rest at the Site of Grace and move time forward by at least one whole night.
- Speak to Diallos again.
Diallos’s quest concludes with him acting as a protector of Jarburg. You’ll eventually find him gravely wounded defending the villagers. Exhaust his dialogue one last time at this location.
Rewards for Completing the Quest
Completing Diallos’s questline offers several rewards, some more obvious than others:
- Diallos’s Mask: This helm is found where Diallos dies in Jarburg after completing his quest steps.
- Hoslow’s Petal Whip: This weapon is also found at his death location in Jarburg.
- Companion Jar Talisman: You get this from Jar-Bairn when you give him Alexander’s Innards.
The Significance of Jarburg and Diallos’s Role
Diallos’s decision to settle in Jarburg represents a significant shift in his character. After grappling with failure and seeking vengeance, he finds a new purpose in protecting the vulnerable. His arc highlights themes of redemption and finding meaning in unexpected places.
Furthermore, Jarburg itself is a fascinating location in Elden Ring. It represents a community striving to exist outside the influence of the Golden Order and other powerful factions. It’s a haven for the downtrodden and a testament to the resilience of life in the Lands Between.
