Elden Ring: How to Complete Irina's Quest

In Elden Ring, side quests often offer more than just rewards—they unfold emotional stories of despair, loyalty, and sacrifice. One of the most poignant early-game questlines centers around Irina, a blind and vulnerable NPC you encounter in the southern reaches of Limgrave. Her request is simple, but as with many things in the Lands Between, completing it unveils a tragic tale.

 

This guide will walk you through how to complete Irina's quest, what rewards (including Elden Ring Runes and Elden Ring Items) you can expect, and why her story is one of Elden Ring's most memorable narrative moments.

 

Where to Find Irina

 

Irina can be found near the Bridge of Sacrifice, a key crossing that leads south into the Weeping Peninsula, a gloomy and desolate region brimming with danger.

 

    After crossing the Bridge of Sacrifice, look slightly to the right side of the road.

 

    Irina sits on the ground against a rock wall, wearing a bloodstained dress and a ribbon blindfold.

 

When you speak to her, she expresses fear over a rebellion at Castle Morne, where her father, Edgar, serves as the commander. She asks you to deliver a letter to him, beginning your journey into this heartbreaking side story.

 

Step 1: Delivering Irina's Letter

 

Once you accept her request, you'll receive Irina's Letter, one of the many unique Elden Ring Items tied to quest progression.

 

To complete this step:

 

    Head south along the main road toward Castle Morne, located at the southern tip of the Weeping Peninsula.

    Make your way through the dangerous terrain filled with demi-humans, wild dogs, and harpies.

    Inside Castle Morne, proceed through the ruins and platforms until you find Edgar, who's holding his ground against the rebels.

 

Edgar is hesitant to abandon his post, as the castle is under siege and in chaos. However, receiving Irina's Letter clearly affects him deeply.

 

Step 2: Clear Castle Morne and Retrieve the Grafted Blade Greatsword

 

Edgar informs you that he cannot leave until he retrieves the Grafted Blade Greatsword, a powerful weapon and one of the more notable early Elden Ring Items.

 

    Defeat the boss Leonine Misbegotten, found at the far end of Castle Morne's beach.

 

    Upon victory, you'll receive the Grafted Blade Greatsword.

 

    Return to Edgar, who now feels that his duty is fulfilled and promises to visit Irina.

 

This section of the quest also rewards you with Elden Ring Runes, gained from enemy encounters and the boss fight, which can be used to level up or purchase items for your journey.

 

Step 3: Return to Irina

 

Once you've completed your objectives at Castle Morne, travel back to Irina's location. Tragically, you'll find her lifeless body, slumped over and freshly slain. The area shows signs of an ambush, possibly by the same rebels from the castle.

 

Shortly after, if you return again or wait a bit, Edgar will appear beside her body. Now consumed by grief, he vows revenge, foreshadowing his transformation into a red phantom invader later in the game.

 

This unexpected and emotional twist makes Irina's quest one of the most haunting in Elden Ring. It's a sharp reminder that not all quests end in victory, even for the most innocent.

 

Step 4: Edgar the Revenger

 

Sometime after Irina's death and Edgar's vow of vengeance, you'll face him one last time. He appears as Edgar the Revenger, a hostile invader at the Revenger's Shack in western Liurnia of the Lakes.

 

Upon defeating him, you'll earn:

 

    Shabriri Grape – a key item for another questline

    Banished Knight's Halberd +8 – a powerful, upgraded weapon

    Elden Ring Runes – a substantial reward for a tough fight

 

This final confrontation ties together the emotional arc of Edgar's descent from dutiful father to vengeance-consumed spirit.

 

Rewards and Significance

 

While Irina's quest doesn't shower you with legendary loot, it offers several important Elden Ring Items and Runes that help with early to mid-game progression:

 

Item and Rune Rewards:

 

    Irina's Letter (Quest Item)

    Grafted Blade Greatsword (Colossal Weapon, Strength-focused)

    Shabriri Grape (Used in Hyetta's quest)

    Banished Knight's Halberd +8

    Thousands of Elden Ring Runes from Leonine Misbegotten and Edgar the Revenger

 

But perhaps more importantly, this quest delivers one of the game's most emotional and sobering stories. It adds depth to the world and reminds you that in Elden Ring, not every hero survives, and not every tale ends in hope.

 

Tips for Completing the Quest

 

    Explore thoroughly in Castle Morne. Many enemies and traps can be avoided with careful observation, saving your Runes for upgrades.

 

    Stock up on healing items and prepare your weapons before fighting Leonine Misbegotten. A high damage output and good shield help.

 

Collect Smithing Stones along the way—these Elden Ring Items are essential for upgrading your weapons before boss fights.

 

    Consider saving your Elden Ring Runes before challenging Edgar the Revenger, as he is a surprisingly powerful NPC invader.

 

Final Thoughts

 

Irina's questline in Elden Ring may be brief, but it is profoundly impactful. It exemplifies FromSoftware's commitment to storytelling through environmental cues, character development, and emotional weight. As you collect Elden Ring Runes and Elden Ring Items to grow stronger, quests like Irina's remind you of the cost of power and the tragedies left in your wake.

 

In the end, Irina's story isn't about rewards or loot—it's about empathy, duty, and the bitter price of survival in a broken world.
