Elden Ring: Goldmask Questline Walkthrough
In Elden Ring, few questlines are as mysterious and philosophically rich as that of Goldmask and Brother Corhyn, two characters obsessed with restoring a flawless interpretation of the Golden Order. This quest isn't just about faith and incantations- it's also about uncovering cosmic secrets, solving riddles, and shaping the outcome of the game.
If you're running a Faith build or simply want to unlock the Age of Order ending, this full walkthrough will guide you through every step of the Goldmask and Corhyn questline.
Prerequisite: Reach Altus Plateau
You'll need access to Altus Plateau, north of Liurnia of the Lakes. This is where the questline truly begins and starts to span across the northern and endgame areas of the Lands Between.
Important: Progressing past the Fire Giant or entering Farum Azula may lock you out of the quest if you haven't advanced far enough. Plan accordingly.
Step 1: Meet Brother Corhyn in the Roundtable Hold
Brother Corhyn appears early at the Roundtable Hold, offering Incantations. He's the key to starting this questline. He won't leave until you've reached the Altus Plateau.
Step 2: Reach Altus Plateau and Speak to Corhyn Again
Once in Altus Plateau, return to Roundtable Hold. Corhyn will announce his departure to seek a master named Goldmask. From this point forward, he'll no longer be at the Hold.
Step 3: Find Brother Corhyn on Altus Plateau
You'll find Corhyn north of the Altus Highway Junction Site of Grace, standing beside the road. Speak to him to continue the quest.
Step 4: Locate Goldmask on the Forest-Spanning Greatbridge
Head north from Corhyn, through the Forest-Spanning Greatbridge. Use the nearby teleporter to reach the other end of the broken bridge. At the southern tip, you'll find Goldmask, a silent figure staring at the Erdtree.
Step 5: Tell Corhyn You Found Goldmask
Return to Corhyn and inform him. After resting at a Site of Grace, Corhyn will move to Goldmask's location on the Greatbridge. Visit the duo again to learn more about their mission.
Step 6: Meet Them Again in Leyndell, Royal Capital
After unlocking Leyndell, make your way to the West Capital Rampart Site of Grace, then head toward the large coliseum in the northwest. Corhyn and Goldmask will be at the cliffside. Corhyn mentions a riddle involving Radagon and the Erdtree.
Step 7: Solve the Riddle- "Radagon is Marika"
This puzzle is pivotal to the quest and requires high Intelligence or a respec using Larval Tears:
1. Go to the Erdtree Sanctuary and fight Godfrey's Golden Shade.
2. Climb the tree root outside the balcony to the upper floor.
3. Traverse the rooftops and enter through the window to reach a corpse with the Golden Order Principia.
4. Give the book to Corhyn to unlock the Law of Regression Incantation.
5. This spell costs 10,000 runes and requires 37 Intelligence.
6. Cast it in front of the Radagon statue down the lift from the Sanctuary. This reveals that Radagon is Marika.
7. Return to Goldmask and report this truth.
Step 8: Mountaintops of the Giants
The pair will now appear on a bridge southwest of the Minor Erdtree in the Mountaintops of the Giants. From the Freezing Lake Site of Grace, head west to find them. Exhaust their dialogue.
Step 9: Reach Leyndell, Capital of Ash
Head toward the coliseum area again. This time, you'll find Goldmask's corpse near the broken bridge, holding the Mending Rune of Perfect Order.
Step 10: Find Corhyn One Last Time
For closure, locate Corhyn kneeling in the ash. After resting and returning, he disappears, leaving behind his Elden Ring Items, Bell Bearing, and Robe.
Quest Rewards
·Mending Rune of Perfect Order- Enables the Age of Order ending.
·Access to exclusive Incantations from Corhyn throughout the quest.
·Corhyn's Bell Bearing and Armor Set at the end.
While you won't gain weapons or talismans, the philosophical and narrative weight of this quest makes it one of Elden Ring's most memorable.
How to Get the Goldmask/Order Ending
After obtaining the Mending Rune, simply finish the game and defeat the final boss. You can also buy Elden Ring Items to help you defeat the final boss. At the summoning point in Fractured Marika's arena, select the Mending Rune of Perfect Order to restore the world under Goldmask's idealized Golden Order- a reality of strict logic, law, and unwavering structure.
Conclusion
The Goldmask and Brother Corhyn questline is a journey of faith, philosophy, and tragic obsession. From the sunlit plateaus of Altus to the ash-choked ruins of Leyndell, it reflects the core themes of Elden Ring: the search for meaning and the price of unwavering belief. Whether you seek ultimate order or just want to unlock a unique ending, this quest is well worth completing.
