Iron Fist Alexander Location in Elden Ring
Iron Fist Alexander is found in multiple locations as the story progresses:
- Alexander can be found in Northern Stormhill, West to the river and North of the Agheel Lake North Site of Grace. [Map Link]
- He can next be found in Gael Tunnel.
- This tunnel is in the border, between Caelid and Limgrave.
- He can be found past a door, and once he is talked to he expresses his desire to move on to Redmane Castle. [Map Link]
- If the Radahn Festival has been triggered, Alexander will disappear and appear at Redmane Castle.
- Talk to him again at Redmane Castle, he will talk about his excitement about the incoming encounter with Radahn. [Map Link]
- He can then be summoned for the boss fight against Starscourge Radahn.
- If he has not been interacted with prior to this, he will show up at the festival anyway and introduce himself.
- Before moving to his next location, he can be found scavenging at Starscourge Radahn's Site of Grace.
- Here he must be talked to exhausting all dialogue to continue his questline. [Map Link]
- Found in Liurnia of the Lakes, just south of Carian Study Hall.
- Follow the path south from the Artist's Shack Site of Grace. Alexander will call out for help as the player gets closer to his location.
- He will ask you to make him "slippery." Use an Oil Pot or Roped Oil Pot to free him.
- This step can be skipped by going to Mt. Gelmir after the Radahn festival. [Map Link]
- Found near the Seethewater Terminus Site of Grace at a lava lake south of Fort Laiedd in Mt. Gelmir.
- Alexander is sitting in the lake behind a Magma Wyrm. Alexander can be spoken to from the safety of the rock in the lava lake.
- Upon exhausting all of his dialogue, he will give the player the Jar. [Map Link]
- Can be summoned for the boss fight against Fire Giant. His sign will appear only after entering the area through either chain. [Map Link].
- Summoning sign is inside arena, therefore does not affect boss healthbar. Player can summon him at any point of the fight.
- In this encounter, he is immune to Fire Damage and deals high Stance Damage, therefore he is a very viable summon at a cost of inability to use Torrent.
- Found in Crumbling Farum Azula.
- From the Dragon Temple Lift grace (can be accessed by using two Stonesword Keys), go past the plaza full of undead up the flight of stairs, turn right and you'll see two square bracket shaped archways. Jump on the archway on the left (closest to the sleeping dragon) to get over to the other side. Alexander can be found directly on the flat arena after crossing the crumbling tower. [Map Link]
- He will challenge you to a warrior's duel, and if you win, he will reward you with Alexander's Innards and Shard of Alexander.
- If you lose, he will continue letting you challenge him until you win.
Iron Fist Alexander Questline: How to complete Iron Fist Alexander's Quest
- You can help Iron Fist Alexander out by hitting him a few times on the back with any weapon. While you hit him, he will express some pain, but then he'll tell you to keep trying.
Alexander delivers some words of encouragement.
- You will eventually push him out, he will stand up and congratulate you, seeming to be okay. As he is pushed out of the ground, you will receive the Triumphant Delight Gesture. Alexander in turn rewards you with a piece of Exalted Flesh for your efforts and then hints at his next destination. He tells you of Redmane Castle in Caelid where a combat festival is taking place.
- Alexander's next location is in Gael Tunnel, found from the rear entrance that borders Limgrave and Caelid. You can also find him from the other side of the Tunnel by venturing to the boss room and opening the one-way door. He'll again mention the festival in Caelid. This step can be skipped if you have already triggered the Radahn Festival from Blaidd's questline.
- Alexander can be found in the plaza of Redmane Castle with the other participants. He is one of the cooperators that can be summoned during the fight against Starscourge Radahn.
- After Radahn's defeat, Alexander can be found just south of Starscourge Radahn site of grace in Wailing Dunes, scavenging the remains of fallen soldiers to strengthen himself.
- Alexander's next location is in Liurnia of the Lakes, just south of the Carian Study Hall. He'll call out to the player if they come close, and is stuck in a hole in the ground again. Smacking him a few times like before won't do any good, and he says he'll need something to make him slippery. Apply an Oil Pot on him and another good smack should dislodge him. He'll reward you with an Exalted Flesh, then talk about heading north to strengthen himself even further. You can skip this step if you've already visited Mt. Gelmir.
- Alexander is found in a pool of lava in the west side of Mt. Gelmir, behind a Magma Wyrm. The player can safely talk to him by walking on one of the spires jutting out of the lava pool. He awards the Jar as a token of friendship and seeks to go to the forge of the giants in the east.
- He appears as a NPC cooperator against the Fire Giant. His summon sign is located within the arena, near either of its entrances.
- Alexander's final step is in Crumbling Farum Azula. He can be seen standing atop a large ruin as you descend the floating debris towards the Dragon Temple. If you've accessed the Dragon Temple Lift, you can find him by platforming across the debris on the upper levels of the area. Alexander will request one last duel. Defeat him, and he rewards you with Alexander's Innards and the Shard of Alexander.
Dialogue in Elden Ring: Iron Fist Alexander
Introduction
- Hello-o? Can you hear me?
Help me! I'm stuck.
Hello? Hellooo! Anyone! (repeating) - 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?
Choosing "Help him out"
- My thanks! a thousand thanks! Just give me a good smack from the rear, with something nice and big.
- Put those doubts to rest, I'll be just fine. I'm very well trained.
Give it your all, I say!
Talking again without helping
- Come on, give me a good smack from behind with something nice and big.
I'll pop clean out. I'm sure of it!
Choosing "Don't help"
- I see. More's the pity. No, no, don't apologize. Despite my appearance, I am a chip off a greater jar. I'll pop out eventually, just you wait.
After "Don't help" and returning (female):
- Ahh, what's that look good lady? Are you willing to help me out after all?
After attacking him in Limgrave
- Ngh!
- What are you playing at?
- Wait, I see. I see it now. Humans all lose their wits, eventually.
- (On player kill) A finer battle was never witnessed. How do you fancy joining the lads inside, eh?
Killing him at Limgrave
- How could this... Was my whole existence... just a crock?
Upon getting unstuck
- Ah!
Ouuch!
Ahhh!
- "Ahh! Well played good lady/sir. Well Played. Though that mighty wallop of yours almost spelt the end of me!
Ha ha ha ha! Well, I'm out now, and that's what counts.
I thank you, and as a token of my appreciation, I'd like you to have this".
[Hands over x1 Exalted Flesh] - "Once again, the pleasure is mine. I am the warrior jar known as Alexander. Iron Fist Alexander, in fact.
I journey to the east, where I intend to further my education in the ways of war.
Beyond these lands lie the scarlet rot-blighted Caelid Wilds.
And upon their southern edge is Redmane Castle, in which a festival of combat is being held.
I'd heard whispers of such festivities before... Doesn't the notion set your breast aflutter!
Ha ha ha ha!" - I'm heading eastward. To Redmane Castle on the southern edge of the scarlet rot-blighted Caelid Wilds.
I've heard there's to be a festival held there.
Oh I hadn't expected to see your face again.
Are you heading to the festival of combat, too?
Oh, no need to be coy with me.
Judging by the fine wallop you gave the old backside earlier,
I would venture you're something of a warrior yourself.
The mere thought of such a festival gets the blood pumping, eh!
Now, now, according to my calculations,
passing through this road should lead us to the Caelid Wilds.
But however you slice it,
it seems we've reached a dead end.
I'm sorry to have raised your hopes.
It seems my calculations must have been off...
I was created to be a warrior vessel.
Many great warriors reside within me,
ever dreaming of becoming a great champion.
It's my destiny.
And the reason for which I quest.
It is my ordeal, you could say.
To test myself, to better myself, to fell ever greater foes.
And then, one day, we'll be a single great champion.
The greatest of them all!
What do you think, eh?
How do you rate my chances?
Heh heh...
Second encounter at Gael Tunnel, or if encountering after going through from Caelid side
- ...!
- The esteemed warrior. Where did you spring from? This was supposed to be a dead end, I'm sure of it. What's going on here? A door, from thin air! Well, stranger things happen at sea, or so I'm told, but onward! To the Caelid Wilds. Gosh, that dead-end had me rather stumped! Heh...heh..
- It's time I set off. To the festival al Redmane Castle on the southern edge of the scarlet rot-blighted Caelid Wilds. Doesn't the thought just set your heart aflutter!
Before fighting Radahn at Redmane Castle
- Ah, you came, how delightful! Indeed, I thought I might find you here.
By the by, do you know for whom this festival is being held? Well, it is none other than General Radahn himself!
To think, I could face a great champion of the Shattering, a demigod in the flesh...
In truth I quiver at the thought, such is his frightful repute. But! The fear simply assures me the ordeal is worth undertaking!
Now, be sure to get a good vantage, my friend. I, Iron Fist Alexander, do hereby vow to unflinchingly brave this ordeal.
After fighting Radahn at Redmane Castle
- A-ah, hello there. It was a battle marvellously fought. You are well and truly a champion, friend.
I, on the other hand, am nothing but a crock. One hit was all it took to crack me, and for my insides to come spilling out.
After that, I hid like a coward. And as such, I can hardly stand to face one such as you. - ...But don't you think I've given up just yet. As luck would have it, there's a veritable mountain of warriors' bodies right here.
If I can just squeeze this bunch down inside me, I'll be a mighty warrior again in no time.
And you know... The bodies found here are exceedingly fine.
Who could expect any less from the very warriors who fought in the Shattering, the greatest of all wars!
Just you wait and see, friend. I'll grow even stronger! Just you wait, when next we meet! Heh heh...
At Liurnia of the Lakes
- (Calling out) Hello-o? Can you hear me? Help me! I'm stuck. Hello? Hellooo! Anyone! (repeating)
- Ahh, hello! How nice it is to see a friendly face! As you can surmise, I've got myself stuck in another hole. Would you mind helping me out, again?
- (Help him out) My thanks in advance, I know you're the man for the job! You know what to do, hm?
Give me a good smack from behind with something nice and big.
Don't worry about my wound sustained at the festival. I'm stuck back together good and proper! Just give it your all! - Come on, give me a good smack from behind with something nice ang big!
- (Don't help) I see. More's the pity. No no. I apologise. Don't you worry about a thing. Despite my appearance. I am but a chip off a greater jar. I'll pop out eventually.
- (Returning after declining to help) What's that look, good sir? Are you willing to help me after all?
- (After hitting him) Ah! P-please! Wait. I have a terrible feeling about this! Would you stop hitting me for a minute!
- (Hitting again) Argh! Cease! Please! Just stop a moment, I beg!
- (Another hit) I'll break! I'll break before i'm out!
- (Hitting his face) G-good gosh, stop, please! That's my face! Smack me from the other end! The other end!
- I can feel my lower half is stuck on something. I don't think you can get me out just by hitting me, this time. Hmm... Let's think... Perhaps there's a way to slide me out a little more smoothly...What if I could somehow be made slippery, or somesuch?
- (After throwing some oil) By the gods you are a man of vision! This will have me as slippery as a toad. I have a good feeling about this, my friend. Right! Give me a good smack from behind with something nice and big!
Releasing him at Liurnia
- Nngh! Oh, yes! That's the ticket!
- My thanks! To you and your razor-sharp wits. As a token of my thanks, I'd like you to have this.
- Deary me, I'm oilier than a toad! There were countless oil jars back where I'm from actually.
And now I know what it's like to be one of them! Heh heh... - Yes, indeed, I too have a home. Though it is one to which I have vowed not to return.
So, I thought I might look out from atop the cliff, but as I drew closer and closer...
Pow! Wouldn't you know it, I was perfectly stuck in that blasted hole.
I can feel the warriors inside admonishing me for my mawkishness. To walk the path of champions, one cannot cleave to the past!
I'm headed to the fiery mount in the north. I can strengthen myself there, without fear of cracking this vessel.
I will forge myself anew in its flames!
§At Mt. Gelmir
- Ngh! Rnnngh! O mountain of fire! Bake me in your flames!
- Nnngh! Ah, good lady/sir, what business might you have in such a place as this?
I hardly think you're here to temper yourself with flame, considering that flesh form of yours.
Your timing though, is impeccable as ever! I've been making just the thing for you on my journey here.
Take it, I'm sure it'll suit you to a tee.
[Hands over Jar] - But oh, it's hardly more than lukewarm here. I won't be able to temper my body such that it'll never crack again.
Perhaps I'll head eastward. There's an old saying I've caught wind of.
"Above the lofty clouds, the icy giant's peak doth soar, here lieth the flame of ruin, which ever burning roars."
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.
But that aside, you're certainly a force to be reckoned with, eh.
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 means, I've but one thing to ask of you.
Would you kindly undertake my ordeal?
Come and tell me when you're ready.
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 strength, 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 marvelous 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!
Elden Ring Notes & Trivia for Iron Fist Alexander
- Alexander speaks and sounds similar to Siegmeyer and Siegward of Catarina from Dark Souls and Dark Souls 3, though those 2 share a different voice actor than Alexander, therefore his character could possibly be a reference to the Catarina Knights of games past.
- According to the Shard of Alexander, it would seem that Alexander had taken parts of a “red-haired champion” into himself, making him mightier than before. Radahn would easily fit this description, seeing as Alexander was busy scraping up bodies to fill himself once more, after fighting Radahn. It would be easy to assume that he had taken parts of Radahn and shoved it inside of him.
- He is an available NPC Summon against Starscourge Radahn during the Radahn festival and can also be summoned against the Fire Giant. Progress in his questline, and he will be available as a summon. Make sure he is not stuck in his first location or stuck South of the Carian Study Hall in Liurnia. His summon sign will be at the fog gate entrance close to the Site of Grace before facing the Fire Giant.
- During the final encounter, he is immune to Fire Damage.
- After besting him in the final duel, you can hit him while he's down to skip the post-battle dialogue and you will still get the correct rewards.

I just want to update per my yesterday run that if you accidentally attack and kill him before interacting to challenge him to a duel in Farum Azula, you'll just receive the warrior jar shard. You have to trigger the dueling dialogue to make the duel legit for the innards and shard of alexander.
- Anonymous
If you go to the entrance of Volcano Manor after talking to Alexander you can find a message on the ground from him.
Note that the first time you find him sitting in the lava you don’t need to be very close to him to talk to him. You can stand on the rock nearby.

I kill him asap for the Talisman and give him the honorable death he seeks asap just toss rot pots at him while he's stuck

There are kinda some silly triggers with his movement.
After some testing, although Old Altus Tunnel is also technically in the Mt. Gelmir region, it does not trigger him to leave Liurnia. Sage's Cave and/or the Unsightly Catacombs, however, do, and Alexander will not be at the Liurnia location if you touch the Graces there.

I killed him after defeating Radahn. Stuffing corpses into yourself to increase your power is evil and demonic. Disgusting and despicable. So many abominations in Elden Ring.

He doesnt appear in gael tunnel if you talk to Blaidd about what Sellen said.
- Anonymous
So if I'm reading this correctly, the only actually required steps are:
1.) Activate the Radahn Festival and kill Radahn, and exhaust his dialogue after the fight.
2.) Go to Mt Gelmir and exhaust his dialogue there.
3.) Meet and beat him in Crumbling Farum Azula.
- Anonymous
For anyone wondering:
If you miss Alexander in Stormhill and meet him for the first time in Gael Tunnel, or even Redmane Castle, you are not missing out on the "Triumphant Delight" gesture. Like many other emotes, there's more than one chance to obtain it: in this case, he will give it to you if you help him in Liurnia, south from Artist's Shack and Caria Study Hall and directly above Jarburg. Make sure to bring a Oil Pot with you though.

If anyone else is having trouble with finding Alexander, go through all the locations, I found him scavenging at the Starscourge Radahn site of grace, he is just down the hill to the south
- Anonymous
So I just beat the fire giant with Iron fist here, rested at the grace - and after exploring the arena I'm able to summon him again.. I did thinking it'd be a quest thing but nope he just stand there I'm able to leave the arena an he stays summoned, I'm running all around the area before fire giant and he's still summoned. Just a bug I suppose. Too bad he doesn't come out and kill some trolls with me :(

Alexander is a GREAT summons for the Fire Giant, but there are two points you must bear in mind:
1. He is slow, so summon him and walk up to the fight with him. Don't race up and start taking damage without having him close by to draw aggro, or even take the first shield whoosh.
2. In phase 2, Alexander will often be down at the bottom of the arena, wandering around aimlessly. You will have to kite the giant down to where he is, and even then he won't participate until he is directly attacked by the giant.
So... I'm in a bit of a pickle and wanted to know if someone can help me.
I started a Pacifist character last night and I found a big problem. I can't get Alexander out of his hole since I cannot punch him or anything, I even tried using the rejection spell but it did nothing. Is there something I can do? maybe get an octopus or the pumpkin head to hit him for me? or is Xander's quest impossible for this run?

Any idea why he challenges you to a duel? Is it for honor? I don't like the idea of killing him.

I just learned the hard way that fighting him in Farum Azula doesn't automatically give you the Shard of Alexander. I went there with my second character, talked to him, then attacked. But apparently I didn't exhaust all of his dialogue. He cursed me and upon death only gave me the warrior jar shard. FML. Murder you in NG+ again, I guess....

I'm surprised neither the page nor the comments say anything about being unable to use Torrent when you summon Alexander. You can only use Torrent again after Alexander dies

I fought him at Azula. Without completing the quest. Last time encounter was at Radahn and I wrong warped to Azula. I got the innards and shard but it went missing after as if I never got it.

I just wanted to let you guys know that I completed this quest with skipping most of the steps. My first encounter with him was the Radahn fight, then I found him near the Magma dragon and I was able to get the Jar helmet, then I found him at the end of the game to complete the quest. Everything else I suppose was optional.

seems wrongwarping to farum azula before killing the fire giant, keeps him in the volcano, i've talked to him at volcano near seethwater and finished that dialog, i wrong warped to farum azula and killed godskin duo, but upon getting to his final battle location there is an ancient dragon in his place, perhaps you must defeat the fire giant first. upsetting

A jar with possibly hundreds of warriors inside him granting him strength, and his body tempered by the fires of mt. Gelmir and when that wasn't enough he tempered himself in the flame of ruin which can burn the Erdtree. Kinda a pushover at Farum Azula for some reason.
- Anonymous
In Crumbling Farum Azula you can easily attack him from range. It triggers the same dialogue as in Limgrave ("Wait, I see. I see it now. Humans all lose their wits, eventually.") but there's no dialogue on beating him - kind of ruins the end of the questline :(

He was not a warrior to his last at all. I was expecting more, kinda sad. One greatsword charged R2 stunned him and he was dead in two swings. He needs more health and poise

Welp. I met him at the Gael Tunnel first, when I was exploring, coming from Limgrave. Guess I'll never have to get him unstuck and won't get the gesture, damn. Also he wasn't there when I first entered and found the grace there, but he appeared later all of a sudden when I teleported there.

TYSM for the comment that even if you miss ALL the 'unstuck' events, you can still go back and find him just south of Radahn, then at Seethewater and (FG if you haven't then) Azula Lift.
Bonus for me: either it or Celestial Absolution also made Jarbairn finally spawn for me in the Burg. **** YEAH JARS! Still necessary to unstuck him after it being the iconic trailer moment, obviously, but cool to get talisman in NG cycles where all seemed lost. Blasphemous indeed!

After meeting him for the first time, he can be found inside of Gael tunnel on his way to the Festival, just behind the shortcut. I can find a screenshot later. It's skippable obviously, but it should go for completionsake.
In his questline you can literally skip Both of his interactions in limgrave the only one that is necessary is the Radahn Festival. As well him bathing in lava at mt gelmir. I'm not sure why before this page mentioned to Do not skip his first interaction when he is stuck in limgrave

Do you have to summon him at the fire giant? I never talked to him at mount gelmir and killed the fire giant then went back to mount gelmir and hes not there. Then I went to faram azuala and he's not there either. I know I didnt kill him because I dont have the talisman, but I dont know where to find him.

Help, when I went to the hole he is in, he wasn't there, and I checked gael tunnel, and also no Alexander. I will check Redmane castle to see if the festival already started, but I am a bit underleveled (level 63). Does anyone know why this happened?

the information is wrong of the first location, the jar can be first located west of Saintsbridge grace on top of cliff north of the pound in Stormhill

it says not to skip the first step but i purposefully didn't talk to him at any point before reaching the radahn festival and he still showed up there and his quest was still completeable after the fight too, so as far as i can tell even freeing him from the first hole is an optional step. (i completed his quest on this save and recieved alexanders shard like normal)

If you never talk to Alexander before finishing the game and choosing an ending, you can still find him scavenging at Radahn's site of grace. From there, you can follow the steps in this guide to still finish his questline, get his innards, and give them to Jar Bairn for the talisman.

I don't know if this was due to a patch update, but I never found him stuck in the ground for the DO NOT SKIP step, yet I was able to find him in Gael Tunnel where he introduced himself to me and progress his storyline from there.

There’s a dragon where he’s supposed to be in Farum Azula, I assume because I didn’t kill the fire giant yet

Alexander was the most noble warrior the lands between saw.

If you complete mt. Gelmir before you kill Radahn, You get locked out of his quest line.
when you dont help alexander get unstuck, a troll grabs him and throws him as a magic pot, thus breaking alexander
this might be a hot take, but I think this is the best Onion Bro-like character, despite the fact that he dies his questline has an amazing conclusion
