Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree Hornsent quest guide

Elden Ring's Shadow of Snowfield's new characters and mission guide: Easily complete Hornsent side quests

We have updated some of the steps in this guide and added streamlined information so you can easily complete Hornsent's tasks.

There are some brightly colored characters in "Eldon's Ring of the Snowfield" that are different from before, these NPCs didn't want to kill you at first. Instead, they will help you find Mikaela. Hornsent is one of them, providing maps of the Mikayla cross and other information about the shadow realm.

That being said, these characters may be friendly, but this is Elden's Ring of Farge after all. You can't trust anyone, these characters will let you make decisions that may affect the events in the late game. To help you get a better understanding of Hornsent, here is how to complete Hornsent's quest in "The Ring of the Ring of the Snowfield: Shadow of the Snowfield" .

The following contains spoilers for Hornsent's mission and some related events.

"Eldon Farren: Shadow of the Snowfield" Hornsent Mission Guide

1. First, talk to Hornsent at the three-way intersection.
2. After defeating Encis Castle Boss, you can talk to Hornsent at the intersection of the High Road.
3. Explore Skaduartus, after the Broken Incident, return to the High Road intersection to talk to Ryda and Hornsent.
4. Tell Leda to choose Ciolal or Hornsent, and the result will be the same as that.
5. Head to Shadow Fortress and defeat the boss at the main entrance.
6. Walk through the fortress until you come to the main square of the Burning Boat, at the top of the stairs, choose Help Hornsent.
7. Afterwards, during the battle with Mesmer Boss, summon Hornsent in the arena and talk to him later.
8. After that, Hornsent will invade you in the ancient ruins of Rauch, which is the end of his mission.
9. We currently think you can choose to keep Hornsent alive before defeating Mesmer, but that's still being confirmed.

Hornsent Position 1

When you first meet Hornsent at the fork in the Snowfield Shadow, his mission begins. He would be with Freya, while Ansbach and Moore were at the intersection of the main entrance a little west. Here, he will give you a map of the cross of Mikala.

Hornsent Position 2

After talking to Hornsent here, you don't have to worry too much about him until you explore the castle of Ensis and defeat Boss Relana (or you can skip her entirely by condemning the fortress). After that, you can talk to him at the intersection of the high roads behind Encis Castle to get a new map of Mikayla Cross, and we suggest you continue exploring until you encounter a "broken" event.

During this time, you can also give Hornsent some scorpion stew (gifted by Hornsent's grandmother) in exchange for rare crafting materials, melting furnace face.

After the Broken incident, we recommend talking to all NPCs again, including Ryda, who will also be at the High Road intersection. Ryda will explain that she intends to find out the people who intend to hurt Mikaela and let you choose between Siolal and Hornsent . It doesn't matter who you choose, because she will deal with Hornsent anyway.

Hornsent Position 3 - Help Ledar or Hornsent?

After interacting with Ryda, you need to head to the main square of Shadow Fortress, where burning ships are there. After defeating the boss at the main entrance of the Shadow Fortress, you can enter here, but you can also reach the area earlier through the sample warehouse. Here you will find two summoning marks : one for helping Ledar invade Hornsent and the other for helping Hornsent invade Ledar.

If you want to help Hornsent and complete his mission, choose to help him invade Ryda . Fortunately, this won't kill Ryda, you'll meet her later.

Hornsent Location 4

After the invasion, you need to continue exploring the Shadow Fortress until you find the Mesmer Puncturer in the Dark Chamber area. This is a bridge across the northwest of the fortress, guarded by a fire knight. In the Boss Arena, you can choose to summon Hornsent. We recommend doing this because he is very useful in this battle and after that you can talk to him again next to the blessing.

Everything went well until Hornsent revealed that he was going to betray the residents of Eldon Tree…oh, no.

Hornsent Position 5

After talking to Hornsent, we again recommend checking all NPCs at this point. Then you need to head to the ancient ruins of Rauch , where there is a letter from Dan Ye, revealing that the Seal Tree is nearby.

Explore the area thoroughly and you will eventually meet Romina, the Saint of Buds . However, as you approach the stairs leading to her arena, a less friendly face will appear: Hornsent. Complete the invasion and kill Hornsent to obtain his equipment and his scythe. This marks the end of Hornsent's mission.

That is, if you want Hornsent to survive, he might appear as an opponent in later battles . To do this, you need to invade Leda in Shadow Fortress (or ignore the invasion altogether) and make sure you are not summoning Hornsent for the battle against Mesmer . If all goes well, he won't invade you in Rauch.

After this, Ryda should forget to target Hornsent and turn his target to Ansbach. That's what I've experienced personally, and then I met Hornsent after Romina. However, if you want to be easier in late gameplay, we recommend you kill Hornsent at any time.

That's it, that's all about Hornsent, but to learn more about Shadow of Snowfield, check out how to complete Siolier's mission and how to complete Igon's mission. They are all very interesting and will take you to some scenic areas.
