Along the road to Stormveil Castle, Elden Ring Tarnished will encounter a young woman by the name of Roderika. She will be seated in Stormhill Shack’s ruins near the location’s Site of Grace. Players can speak with her several times to hear her backstory and receive the Spirit Jellyfish Ashes, a summonable ally that players can conjure once they’ve received the Spirit Calling Bell from Ranni at the Church of Elleh. Roderika will also request the Tarnished “pass a message…to the little chrysalids in Stormveil Castle.”
To fulfill Roderika’s task and complete her questline, Elden Ring players must enter the Stormveil Castle and find a Key Item called Chrysalids’ Memento. To get this item, Tarnished must seek access into the castle’s wall, which can be done either by requesting Gatekeeper Gostoc to open the main gate or sneaking through an opening in the outer-western walls. Once players have made their way to Rampart Tower, a Site of Grace on the seventh floor, they will find a lift nearby. This lift will lead them to an area with the Grafted Scion Field Boss in Elden Ring.
Facing the Grafted Scion in battle is up to the Tarnished to decide, yet those who only seek the Chrysalids’ Memento must enter the entryway on the right. Within the room, players will encounter an appalling mound of corpses guarded by two rabid dogs. After taking the zombified canines down, players can loot the pile of bodies to receive the quest item. Return to the Stormhill Shack to deliver the Chrysalids’ Memento to Roderika. After some dialogue, she will reveal her decision to make the Roundtable Hold her new home.
How To Help Roderika In Elden Ring
Next, go to the Roundtable Hold to meet Roderika by the fireplace. She will reward the Tarnished for their help with a Golden Seed in Elden Ring. After finishing the conversation, speak to Smithing Master Hewg, the Blacksmith in the next room over. Open the dialogue menu and choose “About Roderika.” Hewg will share his thoughts about the Hold’s new guest, after which players must return to Roderika. Repeat the back-and-forth conversation one more time between the two to unlock the dialogue option with the Blacksmith to “watch over Roderika.”
After refreshing the area via fast travel, Roderika will no longer be standing beside the fireplace. Instead, Tarnished can find her seated by the Blacksmith as the player’s new Spirit Tuner. This event concludes Roderika’s questline. However, if players revisit the heap of remains within Stormveil Castle, they will find Roderika’s Crimson Hood in the place of the Chrysalids’ Memento Key Item in Elden Ring.
