Irina | Elden Ring Wiki

She is dead




[OK]

Submit

There is a clear but canonically unexplained connection between Hyetta and Irina. They look exactly the same, same voice actress and their questlines are related.

The most common and accepted theory is that Hyetta is a spirit or being that has taken over / possessed Irina’s body (this is why it is required and mandatory that Irina dies so Hyetta can spwan).

But unlike Yura / Shabriri case, Irina’s dead body never disappears after we interact with Hyetta. We can still see Irina’s corpse while we are doing Hyetta’s questline and this is also unexplained. Could this be a simple mistake? Or is FromSoftware letting us know they are indeed two different bodies / persons? But why they look identical?

My other theory is: Could Irina and Hyetta be twin sisters (which could explain why they look alike)? Both daughters of Edgar of Morne, born with the weak sight and aspiring to become finger maidens? .. My new theory is that Hyetta emabarked on her journey to seek the light first and achieved her purpose while her twin sister Irina couldn’t make it and had a tragic ending.

Sorry Irina but I have birds to farm y'know.

Submit

Heavens, she was already dead

Submit

least depressing fromsoft questline:

Submit

Wonder how she links with lightseeker hyetta.

Submit

I just don't understand one thing. After some time playing I discovered this mission, but when I found her, she was already dead.

Submit

how did she wrote the letter if shes blind lol, magic

Submit

I experienced a glitch where Edgar just never appeared, at all. But that's not important. What is important is that a couple visits to her corpse later gave me the option to examine the site, and the resulting conclusion "She's dead. Ok" is by far the funniest stuff I've seen in the game.

Submit

quest also triggers if u just take the letter and kill the misbegotten, happened to me now, edgar spawning as red and everything

Submit

I wish you could get her armor set. Her black gloves would be good with many chest pieces

Submit

I really don't think enough people realize that she IS Hyetta. Similarly to how Shabriri takes over Yura's body if I had to guess. That's why she needs to die for Hyetta to appear at the grace past Stormveil.a

Submit

:(

Submit

I'm sorry, little one.

Submit

So yeah, I got her letter, went to deliver it, got killed by the Knight's Cavalry before making it to a bonfire, and she was already dead upon the second passing, before I'd even made it past Morne's outer wall...

Submit

Her body doesn't even disappear once Hyetta shows up later, and From Software hasn't bothered to patch out this very obvious oversight over a year later.

Submit

So if you kill Irina but got the letter first then killed Edgar without talking then killed Leonine Misbegotten it appears of course Irina does not re-spawn and Hyetta does not show up at Lake-Facing Cliffs. How do I advance in the games quest? What do I do next?

Submit

if you killed irina by your own hand, hyetta will never appear in your entire playthrough, tried using church of vows still no luck, don't kill her if you want hyetta quest reward

Submit

This quest was bugged for me cause I got Irina's letter, but when I eventually went to Castle Morne, Edgar wasn't there. As in, he just didn't spawn at all. I originally went to the Weeping Peninsula to get the Demi-human Queen's staff and some quick items in the west area of the peninsula where Sellen's real body is. I went back to Limgrave, I cleared all the dungeons, and before going to clear Stormveil I made my way to the Smouldering Church in Caelid and then back to finish up the rest of the dungeons in the WP. Now I'm already in Liurnia, Irina is dead, and Edgar is still absent. I haven't gone to the revenger's shack yet, but if he still doesn't invade me there I'll be very sad cause I'd love to finish Hyetta's quest in this playthrough.

Submit

people are asking why edgar would want to kill them, it's because he went mad with frenzy after irinas death and most likely just attacks you because he's crazy

Submit

wrong spelling of the words 'favour' and 'armour' !

Submit

Why tf does he wanna kill me, I didn't do **** lmao what a goofy ass quest

Submit

Ok but why does he blame me for his daughters death?!

Submit

Just wanted to say that in my playthrough, I am not able to use the cloth for Varre's questline on Irina's dead body. Not tested on multiple but just letting you know

Submit

idk if anyone else noticed, literally haven't foud anything on this subject, but there is a cut content item called "[ERROR]Rya's necklace". The discribtion says: "A necklace worn and treasured by Irina. Given to her as a farewell gift." Has the same icon as rya's necklace. I play the game in german and the item's name was translated to Irinas Halskette (=necklace), so don't know why it's called rya's necklace in english if clearly the description says otherwise. Perhaps it was supposed to be tied to Irina's quest at first and got later changed. I knew there was more to her questline. Discovered with grand merchant mod!

Submit

If you accept the letter from Irina but don't turn it in to Edgar then rest at the first site of grace in Liurnia, Hyetta will appear near you, Irina will die and Edgar will disappear from Castle Morne (I had not entered Castle Morne yet) and not appear at Irina's body.

Submit

If you accept the letter and kill her then give the letter to edgar, he will still help with leonine misbegotten but after talking to him he will spawn where irina was and will attack on sight idk what happedn if you let him live maybe the quest will progress the same but i killed him and Hyetta didn't spawn i will try to go to the church of vows maybe reviving Irina will make hyetta spawn or something

Submit

yet another unfinished questline, only to ruin noobs match making with properly geared players.

Submit

Saddest Quest.. I was so pissed off when she died... Like damn. Fromsoft knows how to break your heart. lol

Submit

I never delivered the letter, went to find him and he was gone. I had killed misbegotten beforehand, i went back to woman to see if I started her quest properly and she was dead? I never delivered the letter.

Submit

Does anyone know if she dies if you never talk to her (or at least never accept the letter) in the first place?

Submit

I just stated my NG+ but Edgar isn't where he is supposed to be but on my first playthrough he was. I have the letter to give him and Irina is dead. The only thing I've done out of sequence is killing magma wyrm Makar then riding straight to get the giant crusher because the chest was bugged on my last playthrough with no hammer. But I didn't interact with any grace checkpoints in Altus plateau, I know resting at a grace there and maybe using the lift as well triggers changes in-game but that's the only thing I can think of. Does anyone here know what step I missed? or maybe not done something I should have?

Submit

Irina's body can be used to bloody the Lord of Blood's Favor item from the White Mask Varre questline. (Not tested postmortum, only by killing her)
So... I tested it, it does not work

Submit

Her name is Irina she is blind and has blonde hair. There is character in ds3 who is blind and has blonde hair name Irina. ds3 Irina was guarded by a knight named Eygon. Eyogn's armor is based off a person named Morne. Elden ring Irina comes from a place called Castle Morne. Morne was a legendary figure from Carim which means Castle Morne was named after Morne and therefore located in Carim. Castle Moren is located in the lands between which must mean The Lands Between is Carim confirmed.

Submit

I’ve earned all the achievements for this game, spent 400+ hours and 6 play throughs on it, and literally have never seen this NPC. yeah i’m def blind I guess, but still what a wild game, man. there’s so much in it to find. love this ****

Submit

It should also be noted that it is completely possible to meet Hyetta near the grace near thops even when Irina is still alive and the letter not yet given to her father.

Submit

Oh boy an innocent girl sitting on the side of a road alone in a fromsoft game! Sure hope she doesn't suddenly die miserably at some point when i progress her quest!

Submit

this is fromsoft guys, you knew she was gonna die. Cmon...

Submit

Her name is Irina, she's blind and associated with a location called "Morne". Seems familiar...

Submit

Ok so I accepted Irina's quest to deliver the letter. But while fighting enemies nearby she was killed by their range attack. Will this break my quest? I tried resting at the nearby grace site but she's gone now. Not even her body remains, just gone without a trace...

Submit

Does anyone else find it weird that she is blind, but gives the player a handwritten letter? It's description sort of implies she wrote it, and in cursive

Submit

Okay, something is really messed up with this questline… on my first playthrough I forgot to give the letter to Irina’s father and she died, I did not expected that, but at least I knew what caused her death. Now on my second playthrough I did everything according to this guide. I haven’t been to Margit’s yet, but I defeated all the field bosses across Limgrave (two deathbirds, two night’s calvary and the dragon) I kept Castle Morne for the of the tour before Margit. Now I went to Castle Morne, I found Irina’s father, I gave him his damned letter and Irina is dead… please, if anyone knows a proper solution how to keep her alive, don’t hold it back, because I don’t think that field boss battles triggered her death…
P.s. I gave the letter to her father right before I lit the “Behind the Castle” grace, so I haven’t been to the Misbegotten yet.

Submit

I met her, accepted the letter, delivered the letter, then rode straight back to her.. she’s dead.. f**k y’all -_- thanks for nothing wiki

Submit

"Irina", "Morne"
Sounds familar...

Submit

You can still complete Hyetta quest line even after finished the damn game with the Frenzied Flame ending.

Submit

There are so many ways to fail this quest. Beat the boss, Give Hyetta the first grape, beat Godrick.. Probably a couple other ways to ruin it.

Submit

I spoke to Irina, got the letter and went to kill Godrick instead. After killing him, I went to the spot where Edgar was supposed to be and he is gone, Irina died just as expected. Omw to see if I am going to get invaded at the revenger's shack.

Submit

If you kill the boss before delivering the letter she dies

Submit

I got the letter and came back before even going to the castle and she's just ****ing dead

Submit

Saddest quest line

Submit

I think giving Hyetta a gummy skips the rest of the quest. Fed her the grape after I killed the boss and Edgar only appeared at the shack.

Submit

If she’s blind how did she write a letter? Speech to text?

Submit

Quite a coinsidence both his daughters are blind and he has eyeballs in his pockets.

Submit

I had only gotten the letter from Irina and hadn't delivered to her father yet (or even gone near Castle Morne) and I was invaded by Edgar the Revenger when I went by Revengers shack. After beating the invader I went to do Castle Morne and Edgar was gone.

Submit

The ghost by the lake ESE of the
revengers shack grace kneeling on the shore partly in water facing the shack tells you that "...Ahh the poor fellow... Gone perfectly mad. Love... Revenge....the frenzied flame melts it all away...". Edgar went mad with frenzy and attacked anyone even you.

Submit

Beware, if you kill Irina before Hyetta shows up for the 1st time (at Lake-Facing Cliffs site of grace), then Hyetta will not spawn at all.
For anyone wondering, this was noticed when killing Irina after she gave away her letter (the purpose was to obtain Lord of Blood's Favor for Varré's quest - which did work).

Submit

found something interesting. i accepted her letter and looked at her carefully and saw how she resembles Hyetta.
So i gave Hyetta the grapes and then warped to Castle Morne to deliver the letter but her father Edgar was gone, i checked my map and to find Irina dead too, and i havent even killed the Castle Morne boss yet. So i believe starting Hyetta's Quest will also would also end the Irina and Edgar Quest

Submit

Wow. So I laughed when Irina's voice actor pronounced "secreting" as if she was talking about an oozing wound. I always pronounced it like the word secret + ing for that second meaning (to hide/conceal). But it turns out she used the correct pronunciation. Learning English lessons from Elden Ring. Gotta love it.

Submit

So I beat the game and got her letter before hand, she’s at Lake-Facing Cliffs now and I never delivered the letter or went into castle morne on my 2nd play through question is what do I do now

Submit

So, about this girl. I accepted the letter, cleared up the castle (missed her father lol) and explored all of weeping peninsula. I came back to her curious, and she was still alive. Either her death is chance based or I have yet to hit her death trigger

Submit

It seems going to the Lake-Facing Cliffs kills her. I started a new save and ran to the Lake-Facing Cliffs Grace and resetted the area to see if Hyetta spawns, she did, and then I found Irina dead.

Submit

is Irina Hyetta?? Why they almost look identical?!

Submit

Well interresting fact. If killed by the Player, even after delivering her Letter Hyetta does not seem to spawn in Liurnia. So im pretty sure now they are the same Person after all. Aaaaaand i need another playthrouoght for the Questline.

Submit

Any chance she's from carim?

Submit

Finally, a good use for that line. I tip my helm to you Sire.

Submit

I killed Irina when meeting her and Hyetta is nowhere to be found at the moment

Submit

I guess I took too long to return to Castle Morne after accepting her request - Edgar wasn't anywhere and then I found her dead at the bridge where I met her

Submit

I met Irina when I was exploring Weeping Peninsula, then went to Stormhill, thorugh there to Liurnia, explored "teh s**t" out of there as well, and after some time there killed an invader... then returned back to Limgrave and Weeping Peninsula to do more exploring... Castle Morne done, Edgar nowhere, Irina dead... then I realized that invader back then WAS HIM (confirmed by checking my chest with the +8 halberd )
To quote Griffin from MIB3: "Where there is death, there will always be death."

Submit

Just gave her a quick plug, drops 500 runes

Submit

If you talk to Irina, but refuse take her letter, you can actually kill the leonine Misbegotten, and talk to her father. His dialogue doesn't change at all, even while equipping the grafted blade greatsword. Irina will still be alive (dialogue won't change, she'll still ask you to deliver her letter, Hyetta doesn't spawn even if you have grapes). It seems the condition to her dying is related to taking her letter.

Submit

After extensive testing there is no way to save her. I've tried killing Edgar first which is really all you can do to test. The minute you walk past that blue line for Castle Morne she will die. If you kill the boss before speaking to her father, she will die. This is also without using any site of grace and no teleporting. So basically unless there something hidden she cannot be saved.

Submit

So she's supposed to die. Went back to her after killing Godrick thinking I screwed up the questline.

Submit

She can mount an enemy wolves during fights and move (sometimes she kills them but sometimes she literally ride them)

Submit

Has anyone tried going up to revengers shack before initiating irina dialog?

Submit

doesn’t this npc kinda confirm elden ring takes place in the same universe of dark souls (morne and the blind maidens being from ds3) or is it just a cool reference typa thing

Submit

For me she died as soon after I gave the dude the letter. I accepted the quest, but didn't bother doing it. Once I actually start doing it she was still there

Submit

In order for Edgar to invade you, you must advance the Hyetta questline. This can be done without talking to Irina or Edgar.

Submit

So after delivering the letter to her father, i went back to her place and found her dead, what did i do wrong? (Not that she's very important but still...)

Submit

So the main character is maidenless.....was she meant to be the maiden? Probably not, but it seems weird how we specifically are maidenless and Melina has to "play THE ROLE of Maiden"

Submit

Probably already mentioned, but if you kill Irina and deliver the letter that she drops to Edgar, he immediately becomes hostile as soon as you spawn back to her dead body, with him accusing you of her death.

Submit

Anyone else having her spawn randomly at the Lake Facing Cliffs site of grace? Maiden scared the s*** out of me teleporting across the continent to ask for a grape. Like bro I was coming back?

Submit

I got the letter then died to giant on south revived at the bridge grace she was dead so she dies just after gives you the letter not upon reaching to castle

Submit

Has anyone tried following the advice snippet that says to kill the demi-human leader, and kill demi-human Queen Maggie prior to finishing the Morne questline? that might save her?

Submit

Regarding the "appearance and blindness is similar to that of Hyetta", it's actually identical. Literally the same model and face customization. She's using the altered version of Hyetta' clothes too. And the Edgar connection is there too. She is almost certainly related to Hyetta directly in some way, probably a Shabriri-style body snatch. Only problem is that her body doesn't seem to disappear even when Hyetta appears.

Submit

She doesn’t drop anything if killed. Also irina dies automatically after you except the letter and go exploring in the region.

Submit

I think it could be very likely that Hyetta possessed Irina's body after she died. It makes sense because we see Shabriri do the same with Yura's corpse after he's killed by Elenora, and it would explain why the two look so similar and have the same voice. Not to mention that Edgar goes mad and drops a shabriri's grape, which would indicate some connection to the frenzied flame.

Submit

Seems to be easy to break this quest. You should not fight the boss before progressing as far as you can

Submit

I suppose he attacks you and all the other dead bodies because he went mad. Must be what the shabriri grapes are, right? The burned eyes of those afflicted with madness?

Submit

Talked to Irina, went to Castle Morne, talked to Edgar, fought the Lion Misbegotten. Then Edgar left his post and Irina died offscreen. Maybe it's tied to day cycles? I died 2 times at the boss and rested at a site of grace, the days' passing could have progressed the storyline.

Submit

I killed her XD

Submit

Wasn't there also a blind girl named Irina in DS3? And correct me if I'm wrong, wasn't her bodyguard (the dude with the big hammer), is wearing some equipment named "Morne"? As in Castle Morne, the place the ER Irina is from?

Submit

Theres a problem i have.So i delivered the letter to edgar but after i killed the boss i didnt talk to him then i went to bridge of sacrifice nut still edgar wasnt there and i want the 3rd shabriri grape but he doesn't invade me in revengers shack and i reqlly dont know what to do for 3rd shabriri grape.what should i do?

Submit

Exploring Limgrave I went down the bridge and met her. Didn't want to explore Weeping Peninsula yet I finished up around Limgrave and go back to Irina and she's dead. I didn't even go to Stormveil or anywhere else. Great game, but these obscure NPC quests are one of From Software's biggest screw ups. How they STILL haven't improved them is crazy. They are so easy to completely fail and the conditions you have to sometimes meet to complete them are ridiculous.

Submit

Can Hyetta be Shibiri inside the body of Irina?

Submit

She's literally just sitting there dead before I even got to talk to her or go to Castle Morne. I wonder what random obscure condition I met to completely trash a questline

Submit

I got the letter then without talking to Edgar went to the Revenger's Shack where he spawned. Killed him and I guess I finished the questline?

Submit

I got the letter then without talking to Edgar went to the Revenger's Shack where he spawned. Killed him and I guess I finished the questline?

Submit

I got the letter from Irina, but then got side-tracked and did some other stuff before I returned to the Weeping Peninsula, and after crossing the bridge, I found her dead. At first I thought I messed up, but it turns out she always dies. It's a little sad, but then again, it's that kind of game.

Submit

I talked to Irina without getting the letter bc i maybe didnt talk to her a second time. i proceeded to explore the south region found the castle found edgar talked to him killed the boss returned to edgar and killed him. After i got back to irina after some time and got the letter. Thought well thats long gone now and killed her too. idk what i missed here but it seems that it somehow tied to the hyetta quest ? bc i cant find her anywhere.

Submit

I spoke to Irina and got the letter. Didn't continue the quest after that and was just exploring and stumbled into the Shack and got the Edgar invasion. Is this a bug?
