Goldmask Quest Walkthrough

Goldmask is an NPC in Elden Ring who unlocks the Age of Order ending if you finish his questline. Follow along in his journey to uncover the truth about the Golden Order and the goddess named Marika.

Find Him at the Forest-Spanning Greatbridge

Players can immediately find Goldmask once they arrive at the Altus Plateau. While speaking to him will garner no response, catching him early on will help you tell Brother Corhyn his location later.

Note: Corhyn and the Goldmask share almost the same questline. In order to unlock the Age of Order ending, follow the path of both NPCs to the very end.

Corhyn Questline and Location

Help Corhyn Find Goldmask

With Goldmask's location secure, find Brother Corhyn to the north of the Altus Highway Junction site of grace. Speak to him there and tell him you know where the Goldmask is.

After Corhyn exclaims that he's headed to there now, return to Goldmask's side where Corhyn should now also be. Speak to them both to progress the questline.

Note: If Corhyn does not appear at the indicated location, he will still be at the Roundtable Hold. Return to him there and exhaust his dialogue to get him to move out of the Hold.

You will next find the Goldmask and Corhyn inside Leyndell, Royal Capital. Both characters can be found standing on a cliff next to the large coliseum on the southwest end of the city.

Corhyn will explain that Goldmask wants to know the identity of Radagon. Figure this puzzle out and tell Goldmask the truth behind Radagon and Marika to progress the questline.

Quest Objectives
Defeat the Draconic Tree Sentinel
Defeat Godfrey the FIrst Elden Lord
Retrieve the Golden Order Principia
Learn the Law of Regression

Defeat the Draconic Tree Sentinel

In order to enter Leyndell, Royal Capital, you will first need to defeat its gatekeeper - the Draconic Tree Sentinel. Similar to the earlier Tree Sentinel fight in Limgrave, this version now comes with very strong fire and lightning attacks.

How to Beat Draconic Tree Sentinel

Defeat Godfrey the First Elden Lord

A prayerbook called the Golden Order Principia will be needed to find out Radagon's true identity. Defeat Godfrey the First Elden Lord to unlock the area containing this needed item.

How to Beat Godfrey, First Elden Lord

Retrieve the Golden Order Principia

How to Get the Golden Order Principia
1	From the Erdtree Sanctuary site of grace, turn right and go out to the balcony. Use the branch to go to the upper level.
2	Once you get to the balcony above the Erdtree Sanctuary, go outside and turn left. Jump down to the sanctuary's roof and use the open window to reach the prayerbook location.

The Golden Order Principia is a prayerbook that allows you to purchase the Law of Regression. Retrieve it from the hanging corpse right above the Erdtree Sanctuary site of grace.

To reach the prayerbook, use the large tree branch snaking its way through the area to get to the upper floor (start at the balcony with a lot of dead finger maidens).

Learn the Law of Regression

Players can give the prayerbook to either Corhyn (he will still be next to the Goldmask) or Miriel in Liurnia. Spend 10000 Runes to learn the incantation.

Note: In order to cast this incantation, you will need 37 Intelligence. Players who are not running intelligence builds will have to spend at least 2 Larval Tears to respec and return to their builds.

How to Respec Your Stats

Cast Regression on Radagon's Statue

The next step is to cast Law of Regression on Radagon's statue in Leyndell. To find it, fast travel to the Erdtree Sanctuary and immediately head left. Head for the elevator at the bottom of this path and take it to the lower level.

Once the elevator stops, head down the steps and Radagon's statue should be right in front of you. Cast Law of Regression and witness the truth behind the identities of Marika and Radagon. Read the note that appears on the ground before you leave.

How to Get the T-Pose Gesture

When you go back to the Goldmask and Corhyn, speak to the Goldmask first. Once you tell him Marika and Radagon are one and the same, he will reward you with the T-Pose Gesture called the Golden Order Totality.

Find Him at the Mountaintops of the Giants

Before the end, Goldmask can be found one last time on a large stone bridge at the Mountaintops of the Giants. Corhyn will be behind him in despair as the Goldmask considers the lies behind the Golden Order. Speak to both of them to progress their questlines.

Note: Players will need to find Goldmask and Corhyn here before they reach Crumbling Farum Azula. Otherwise, Corhyn may end up despawned when you advance the world-state by burning the Erdtree.

Retrieve the Mending Rune of Perfect Order

After players progress the story enough, they will arrive at Leyndell, Capital of Ash. There, Goldmask can be found with the Mending Rune of Perfect Order on his body.

Loot the rune to unlock the option of choosing the Age of Order ending after beating the final boss of the game.

How to Get Goldmask's Armor

To get Goldmask's armor set, players will have to reload the area once you pick up the Mending Rune of Perfect Order. You can do this by either fast traveling back to the site of grace or quitting out then resuming the game.

Goldmask's armor should be on his body when you return to it. Loot it to get Goldmask's Rags, Gold Bracelets, and the Gold Waistwrap.

Goldmask Information and Lore

Lore

• Goldmask is a scholar who studies the Golden Order extensively, drawing in fanatics like Brother Corhyn to his side. During the course of his investigations, he finds out that both Marika and Radagon are considered true gods.
• Puzzled by the duplicity that undermines the rule of the Golden Order, Goldmask (silently) enlists the help of the Tarnished to figure out the true identity of Radagon.
• In the end, Goldmask surmises that the Golden Order was and is broken. Seeking to fix it, he fashions the Mending Rune of Perfect Order to usher in his vision of a true age of order.

Trivia

• While there is a clue in front of the Radagon statue stating that Regression alone reveals secrets, an even earlier tidbit can be had if players talk to Miriel at the Church of Vows in Liurnia. The old pastor will say that a sculptor found out about the truth behind Radagon and Marika, and chiseled the truth upon Radagon's great statue.
• To complete Goldmask's armor set, players can retrieve the Radiant Gold Mask in the northern collapsed section of the Forest-Spanning Greatbridge in the Altus Plateau. From the Road of Iniquity Side Path site of grace, make your way to the collapsed section of the bridge. The mask should be on a corpse at one end of it.
