Rogier is one of the many NPCs you'll encounter that has a side quest to complete in Elden Ring. For this part of our Elden Ring guide, you'll find details of where to find this NPC, how to begin their questline and the outcomes of your choices.

Where to Find Rogier

Rogier can initially be found in Stormveil Castle. From Rampart Tower, if you take the stairs down and cross the rooftops until you reach the ladder, you can go either left or right. If you go right, you'll head towards the Grafted Scion, but if you go left, you'll be able to find Rogier.

Once you've defeated Godrick the Grafted Rogier will move to the Roundtable Hold. When you speak to him, you'll receive Rogier's Rapier+8. To progress his questline, you must next find his bloodstain.

Where to Find Rogier's Bloodstain

From the Liftside Chamber Site of Grace, exit east and take a sharp right, doubling back on yourself. Drop down from where the body is sitting on the ledge. Continue downward and make your way through a corpse- and rat-filled ditch. Follow this until you reach the Ulcerated Tree Spirit boss. To safely access Rogier's bloodstain, you will need to defeat it.

Further on along the boss arena, you will find a grotesque face in the ground, and to the right of it, a bloodstain. If you interact with it, you'll see Rogier being killed. Return to Rogier and choose "Talk" to prompt him to discuss his feelings of soon falling into a deep slumber.

If You Find the Bloodstain After Speaking with Ranni

When you speak to Rogier, he'll say that he thinks he might fall into a great sleep soon and after finding his bloodstain, he will. When you return, he'll eventually be dead. If this happens, you'll receive:

• His Bell Bearing that you can give to the Twin Maiden Husks
• Spellblade's Pointed Hat
• Spellblade's Travelling Attire
• Spellblade's Gloves
• Spellblade's Trousers

Interact with him again and you'll also receive a letter that says:

"I forgot to tell you, but it seems D has a younger brother. I heard he lies in a deep sleep in the aqueduct beside the Eternal City of Nokron. And it's said he stood before the Prince of Death not far beyond that spot."

This is where you'll need to head to progress the Fia Questline.

If You Find the Bloodstain Before Speaking with Ranni

If you return to Rogier after you've seen the bloodstain, you can talk to him and he'll provide you with some lore surrounding Godfrey. He'll also explain that he's been looking for Black Knifeprints. If you have a Black Knifeprint (you can pick one up from the Black Knife Assassin boss in the Black Knife Catacombs) you can give this to him.

Leave the Roundtable Hold and come back. Rogier will be finished with his examination of the Black Knifeprint, concluding that Ranni is behind the slaying of Godfrey. As a result, Ranni should have a cursemark on her body. Rogier asks you to procure the cursemark for him and you can ask about her whereabouts and why he wants the cursemark.

Caria Manor

The next step is to head to Caria Manor, in the northwest of Liurnia. You'll need to clear Caria Manor by defeating Royal Knight Loretta to access the Three Sisters subregion, where Ranni's Rise is located.

When you get to Ranni's Rise and speak to her. She'll say she doesn't remember inviting you and if you've exhausted all of Rogier's dialogue, the option will come up that says "You must be Ranni the Witch, behind the Night of the Black Knives."

Choose this and Ranni will tell you she cast off the cursemark with her old body. You can ask where the body went but she won't tell you and will tell you to leave.

Return to Rogier and tell him that Ranni cast off her cursemark. He'll send you back to Ranni again and tell you to convince her to let you be her vassal, while continuing to find information for Rogier. While Ranni will not be fooled, she will nevertheless allow you to serve her, thus beginning the Ranni the Witch Questline.

Unfortunately, if Rogier has not yet died in your world, this conversation officially signals his passing; once you return to him, you will find that he has expired.
