Alexander the Warrior Jar is a jolly fellow seeking to strengthen himself by journeying through the Lands Between. Follow and complete his questline to receive one of the game's best talismans called the Shard of Alexander.
When you find Alexander, he will be stuck inside a crater of earth to the south of the Saintsbridge. Speak to him and accept his request for help. To free him, simply walk behind the jar and hit him a few times with your equipped melee weapon.
Once freed, you will receive the Triumphant Delight gesture and a piece of Exalted Flesh. Exhaust Alexander's dialogue to know more about the Festival of Combat happening at Redmane Castle in Caelid.

Your next interaction with Alexander will be at the Gael Tunnel, on the border between Limgrave and Caelid. Enter the tunnel to find him blocked by a locked door.
In order to allow him entry into the Caelid Wilds, players will need to enter from the Gael Tunnel's exit in Caelid and open the door from there.
For players only looking to progress Alexander's questline, the Magma Wyrm boss fight is optional and can be skipped. Players only need to open the door and speak to Alexander to complete this portion of his quest.

Alexander can next be found sitting on a lava lake in Mt. Gelmir at the Altus Plateau. Head over to one of the large rocks jutting out beside him in order to speak to the Warrior Jar.
Warning: A Magma Wyrm boss spawns in the western portion of this lake. To avoid fighting it, approach Alexander's location from southern side of the lava lake via the Craftsman's Shack site of grace.
As a token of your friendship, Alexander will reward you with the Jar helmet once you speak to him by the lava pool. This helmet boosts the power of throwing pot items and allows you to emulate a living jar.

Alexander, true to his word on Mt. Gelmir, can next be encountered when you reach the Mountaintops of the Giants. He will be a gold summon for the Fire Giant boss fight. Players can summon him once they enter from the northernmost gate of the boss arena.
Warning: While Alexander will be a much stronger gold summon during this fight, he will prevent you from riding Torrent during the fight. Consider this limitation before summoning him to help.

Alexander's final encounter will be on a platform to the east of the Dragon Temple in Crumbling Farum Azula. The only way to get to that platform is from the Dragon Temple Lift site of grace.
Once there, speak to Alexander and he will challenge you to a duel that proves who is the better warrior. Defeat him to receive the Shard of Alexander talisman and a key item called Alexander's Innards.
After the Fire Giant fight, players can head into the now unlocked Forge of the Giants to progress the main story. Speak to Melina and watch the cutscene to unlock Crumbling Farum Azula.
To access the Dragon Temple Lift, players will first need to defeat the Godskin Duo guarding the Dragon Temple Altar. This is one of the tougher fights in Crumbling Farum Azula, so make sure to prepare beforehand.
In order to reach Alexander, players will need to start from the Dragon Temple Altar site of grace. Once at the temple, head north and use 2 Stonesword Keys to open up the elevator taking you to the Dragon Temple Lift site of grace.
Despite Alexander meeting his end in Crumbling Farum Azula, his legend can live on in Jar-Bairn. If players progressed the questlines of Diallos, completing Jar-Bairn's will be easy.
Head to Jarburg in Liurnia and look for the little jar. At the end of his questline, you can give him Alexander's Innards. In return, Jar-Bairn will give you the Companion Jar talisman.

"Oh my stars, I'm so happy to see you! I am Alexander, also known as the Iron Fist. And as you can see, I'm stuck here. Please can you help me out of this?" |
---|
"Ahh! Well played, good sir. Well played! Though that mighty wallop of yours almost spelt the end of me! (laughs)" |
---|
"Ah, I see you've finally made it here yourself. The city hanging in the air is slowly crumbling. What an incredible place we find ourselves. I doubt there's a single soul who could've handled that giant, other than you. It was practically a god... Of course I count myself, the great Alexander, among the many. Which merans, I've but one thing to ask of you. Would you kindly undertake my ordeal?" |
---|
"I've been longing to fight a warrior as accomplished as you. You are ready then, I take it? Then let us begin. I am the great jar warrior, Iron Fist Alexander. Lend me strenght, O warriors within! Let us become one champion, together!" |
---|
"As I suspected... Victory...was impossible. This vessel...was found lacking... My thanks. I knew you were the stuff of champions. It was a marvellous battle. I implore you, take what I bequeath...from inside me... All vessels are destined to one day break. But the great Alexander lived as a warrior to his last! Ha ha ha ha!" |
