Brother Corhyn Questline: How to complete Brother Corhyn's Quest
- Brother Corhyn can first be met once the player is able to go to Roundtable Hold. He can be seen standing in the main room.
- After reaching Altus Plateau, Brother Corhyn will tell you he is going on a journey to find the Goldmask. After resting, he moves to Altus Plateau and increases the number of Incantations he knows. Corhyn will be standing on the road north of the Altus Highway Junction Site of Grace, next to the monument where the Map (Altus Plateau) can be found. [Map Link] If you find Corhyn dead at any point in the questline, you can still complete the steps with Goldmask.
- On the north side of Altus Plateau, there is a large broken bridge. You can encounter Goldmask standing on the north section of the Forest-Spanning Great Bridge, south of East Windmill Pasture.
- Traveling north of the Bower of Bounty grace, you can use a Spirit Spring near the bridge to jump directly up to the Goldmask.
- Alternatively, use the waygate on the southern section of the Forest-Spanning Great Bridge, next to the Forest-Spanning Great Bridge Site of Grace.
- After speaking to the Goldmask, you can return to Corhyn and inform him of Goldmask's location. After resting, Corhyn moves to stand next to the Goldmask and adds new incantations to his stock. You can discuss Goldmask with him.
- After obtaining at least two Great Runes and gaining access to Leyndell, Corhyn and Goldmask move to the city Leyndell, and are found on a cliff up west of the colosseum, contemplating a riddle. From the West Capital Ramparts Site of Grace, head southwest along the balcony. The balcony will lead to a stone pathway, and upwards to the colosseum. Follow the path, dealing with the two Duelists along the way. From the top of the path, head left until you find the pair. Exhaust Corhyn's dialogue about Goldmask. [Map Link]
- Note that in order to progress his questline you need to solve this riddle before burning the Erdtree at Forge of the Giants (after Fire Giant boss fight), otherwise Corhyn will vanish and leave behind Corhyn's Bell Bearing in Leyndell. In addition, Goldmask will not be present.
- The solution is found west of the Erdtree Sanctuary Site of Grace, down an elevator and a set of stairs. A white message on the ground facing the statue mentions "Regression". You must stand on the message, facing the statue, and cast the Law of Regression incantation to solve the riddle. Touch the new message that appears, and report the secret to Goldmask and then exhaust Corhyn's dialogue.
- Casting Law of Regression requires 37 Intelligence. If desired, you can use two Larval Tears to respec your character and back just to solve the riddle. Alternatively, you can use a combination of intelligence-boosting equipment and effects:
- (Helm) Haima Glintstone Crown (+2 INT)
- (Helm) Hierodas Glintstone Crown (+2 INT)
- (Helm) Imp Head (Cat) (+2 INT)
- (Helm) Karolos Glintstone Crown (+3 INT)
- (Helm) Olivinus Glintstone Crown (+3 INT)
- (Helm) Queen's Crescent Crown (+3 INT)
- (Helm) Witch's Glintstone Crown (+3 INT)
- (Helm) Twinsage Glintstone Crown (+6 INT)
- (Talisman) Marika's Scarseal (+3 INT)
- (Talisman) Marika's Soreseal (+5 INT)
- (Talisman) Stargazer Heirloom (+5 INT)
- (Great Rune) Godrick's Great Rune (+5 INT) - requires consuming a Rune Arc to activate the buff, after which it will last until death
- (Weapon) Grafted Blade Greatsword (+5 INT) - Using the special skill boosts all stats by 5. Using the skill requires 14 DEX and 40 STR (27 when 2-handed)
- (Flask of Wondrous Physick) Intelligence-knot Crystal Tear (+10 INT) - lasts for 3 minutes upon consuming the flask
- After casting the spell, revealing a plot-point, go back to Goldmask and tell him what you found out.
- After this, you can talk to Brother Corhyn, and he will offer to sell you the Immutable Shield incantation.
- After leaving them (reloading in the same place won't make them disappear), Goldmask and Corhyn will move to the bridge south of Stargazers' Ruins right above the Ancient Snow Valley Ruins Site of Grace. [Map Link]
- A dialogue option also appears to give Brother Corhyn the Tonic of Forgetfulness upon advancing his questline to Mountaintops of the Giants, near the Stargazers' Ruins. Corhyn will refuse the potion and the item will remain in the player's inventory, but it will change the final step in this questline.
- After completing Crumbling Farum Azula, Goldmask can be found in Leyndell, Ashen Capital, he moves to the bottom of the colosseum cliffs facing the west side of the Erdtree Sanctuary Site of Grace.. He will give you the Mending Rune of Perfect Order. Reload the area to loot Goldmask's Set.
- Corhyn can then be found at one of the possible two locations:
- Corhyn location 1: It is advisable to check for him here first, as the game loads you into Leyndell, Ashen Capital after you finish the main boss fight at Crumbling Farum Azula. He will be near the base of the giant spiral spear. Speak with him to exhaust all dialogue and then, after reloading the area, you can find a Flail, Corhyn's Bell Bearing, and Corhyn's Robe where he was sitting. [Map Link]
- Corhyn location 2: If you offered Brother Corhyn the Tonic of Forgetfulness, he will remain at the bridge south of the Stargazers' Ruins where you last saw him. Talk to him; he'll be unaware of Goldmask's absence. Reload the area and then collect all three of the above items where he was.
- Note: If you don't complete the questline, you can find both Corhyn's Bell Bearing and Corhyn's Robe on a cliff west of the colosseum, in Leyndell, Ashen Capital.
Dialogue in Elden Ring: Brother Corhyn
Introduction:
- Oh, I see you've just arrived. Welcome to the Roundtable Hold. I'm Corhyn, a man of the cloth.
I teach incantations, the strength granted us by the Two Fingers, and explore the secrets of the Golden Order.
So that one day, if a Tarnished of the Roundtable Hold should become Elden Lord, I might counsel them,
ensuring order regains its proper form, righting rule over men.
By the way, do you still see it? The guidance of grace. - You do! Wonderful news. Most Tarnished are blind to it these days.
You are something of a rare breed. Well, what do you say?
Care to learn an incantation of the Two Fingers?
Subsequent Visits:
- Ah, you appear to be doing well. Very good.
Well then, would you like to learn an incantation? - [Giving any other prayerbook]
That... is a work of heresy.
Its incantations bear no lineage from the Erdtree.
(sigh) Very well... I'll take it off your hands. - [Giving the Golden Order Principia]
This...is a volume of incantation.
It's good to see your enthusiasm.
Indeed, I will happily take it off your hands. - [Leave]
May the Golden Order shine through you.
Leaving the Roundtable Hold:
- There's something I should mention to you as well.
I'm thinking of leaving the Roundtable Hold.
Do you know of the noble Goldmask?
Though he was a Tarnished, living outside the Lands Between, he was a great scholar, who foresaw the coming guidance of grace.
And now, I hear he has come to the Lands between alone, to contemplate the Golden Order...
I wish nothing more than to seek his instruction, and perhaps even help him in his research. - Ah, I've been waiting your return.
I've decided to leave the Roundtable Hold after all.
As I mentioned, I'm off in search of the noble Goldmask.
We may not meet again for some time.
If there's any incantations you wish to learn, now is the moment.
At the Altus Plateau:
- Ah, look who we have here.
How delightful, to meet a familiar face, even after departing the Roundtable Hold.
I've been doing some learning of my own since then, actually. And will happily pass it along to you. - [About the noble Goldmask]
I'm yet to find the noble Goldmask.
I suppose he'll be closer to the Erdtree.
The path ahead might be perilous, but tread it I shall.
Since departing the Roundtable Hold, I've come to understand, in my solitude,
how little it is I truly know... - [Tell the noble Goldmaks's whereabouts]
Do...do you sport with me!?
From your description, it can be no other than the Goldmask himself!
Of course, of course, I knew he would be close by.
Bless the Golden Order, and its benevolent rays.
And to you too. My sincerest thanks.
Bridge above Road of Iniquity Side Path:
- Ah, we meet yet again.
Thanks to you, I have become acquainted with the noble Goldmask himself,
and taken my place by his side as you can see.
Have no fear, I will still teach you incantations, as before.
Though we must do so quietly, such that we do not disturb the great master's cogitation. - [About the noble Goldmask]
The master is always deep in contemplation.
While I frantically attempt to record his wisdom; the movement of his finger.
And though I am yet to comprehend the daintiest morsel of his wisdom...
I know that this, this is my life's calling.
The Golden Order has bestowed me, talentless as I am, the great duty of documentarian.
At Leyndell, Royal Capital:
- [To Goldmask]
Master! What ever is the matter?
Please, I implore you continue!
Continue your reflections, your rhythms!
I must be the one to record them!
What matters this issue of Radagon, really?
The Erdtree, heart of the Golden Order, lies before our very eyes!
Why must these qualms come to you now?
We were on the very cusp! - Oh, was that you? Sorry, I hardly noticed.
I'm a little shaken since the master ceased his movements. - The master's reflections had heightened as we neared the Erdtree.
While still a precise calculus, the rhythms grew increasingly wild.
Until he simply ceased.
Now the master is facing quite the puzzle.
The Golden Order is founded on the principle that Marika is the one true god. However...
The name of Marika's second husband, King Consort Radagon, also appeared...
Who exactly was Radagon?
The master is stumped.
His finger has remained still, ever since Radagon's name was discovered.
Curse my mediocre mind.
The master only has me; and here I fail him. - [After telling Goldmask the statue's secret]
What on Earth did you do to the master?
Well, not that I'm complaining.
Master's finger moves again, resuming his cogitation; more than good enough for me.
I haven't the words to thank you.
So I'd like to pass this on to you instead.
A glimpse into the heart of the Golden Order, documented by yours truly. - [After telling Goldmask the statue's secret]
To think, that Radagon was Marika herself.
Or at least, such is all I can interpret from the rhythm and calculus of his finger.
How would such a thing even have been possible, I wonder.
Sadly, I cannot comprehend it myself.
Do you have a fuller understanding of the matter?
Well, either way, I can continue my documentation.
In truth, it matters very little whether I understand the master's thoughts or not.
I am merely his scribe. It is my sole and unwavering purpose.
At Stargazers' Ruins Bridge:
- Ah, nice to see you.
I can't believe you've come all this way. - I've been gripped by a terrifying thought.
The rhythms and calculus of the master's finger...
betray a suspicion of the holism of the Golden Order.
A conceit, I am afraid, that cannot be overlooked.
Oh, but how could this be?
I dread to even entertain the possibility...
but somehow, I cannot cast aside my doubts about the master.
Tell me, have I simply lost my head?
Only, if the master were true to the Golden Order,
why would he think to breach this forbidden mount of fire? - Oh master, put my mind at ease.
Dispel these fearsome thoughts.
I want to place my trust in you, to be your scribe.
- [Offering the Tonic of Forgetfulness]
It will make me forget, you say?
So that I can push aside these frightful thoughts...
Ha... ha ha...
Would that I could... Would that I could... - [After completing Crumbling Farum Azula, if the Tonic was offered]
Master... where did you go?
I'm right here.
Please, show me. Your finger. Your rhythms, and calculus...
Let me document the motions...
Master... Master...
Where did you go?
At Leyndell, Ashen Capital (if the Tonic was NOT offered)
- Oh, it's you.
I've finally come to understand.
The master was nothing more than a madman.
Enchanted by a vain and ruinous delusion, he rejected the perfection of the Golden Order,
seeking to supplant our glorious faith with his own!
Could there be a more pitiable comedy?
Look at it. The culmination of perfection, burning, before our very eyes!
Ha... ha ha ha...
When attacked:
- (Warning) Ngh!
What are you trying to achieve? Cease that! - (Combat) You've done it now. Faith grants me strength, that I might endure. O Golden Order, shine through me.
- (On player kill) Please don't trouble us again.
Upon defeat:
- O guidance...of grace... Why...can't I
- (With Goldmask) O master... To be ever at your side...
Elden Ring Brother Corhyn Notes & Trivia
FAQ: What happens if you kill Corhyn Elden Ring?
- Corhyn can be accidentally killed or even found dead in some cases if players progress too far without interacting with him. Some players have even mistaken him for zombies due to his appearances in the environments he is found him. Attack him and he will use his Flail and Sacred Seal to Heal himself during combat. If killed he drops Corhyn's Bell Bearing. Flail. Corhyn's Robe. Players have attempted to undo this action by going to the Church of Vows and seeking absolution, however this action does not resurect fall NPCs and can only absolve any hostile relationships with NPCs. Players have also reported finding him dead at his second location: north of Altus Highway Junction after meeting him at the Roundtable Hold.
- With Corhyn dead, you may miss out on his merchant stock and a few Incantations as well as a few items related to a few parts of his questline that involves Goldmask. Progress through his questline and he will also offer to sell you the Immutable Shield.
- A few players have attempted to progress through this questline without Corhyn and a few have been successful casting the Law of Regression, skipping Corhyn's interactions and going straight to Goldmask. It appears that as long as you follow the questline stees and do not require the hints he provides, then the quest can still progress. After casting the Law of Regression, the next step would be to look for Goldmask then Brother Corhyn. If Brother Crohyn is not around, the next steps will occur after the Capital of Ash event is triggered and you find Goldmask at his final location. He can be found in Leyndell, Ashen Capital, he moves to the bottom of the colosseum cliffs facing the west side of the Erdtree Sanctuary Site of Grace.. He will give you the Mending Rune of Perfect Order. Reload the area to loot Goldmask's Set.
Corhyn Other Notes
- After meeting Brother Corhyn for the first time, you'll receive the Prayer Gesture.
- Killing this NPC doesn't mark you as a sinner.
- If provoked, Corhyn wields a Flail and a sacred seal, which he uses to cast Heal and (insert other spells)
- If you manage to burn the Erdtree before ever reaching the Altus Plateau, meaning Brother Corhyn never leaves the Roundtable Hold, he will die when the Roundtable erupts into flame.
- You can accomplish this by defeating Fia's Chosen within the Deeproot Depths, which unlocks a teleporter directly to the Capital. From there, you can access the Mountaintops of the Giants without passing through the Plateau proper.

If Corhyn leaves round table and you don’t talk to him before erd tree burns then he dies and you can’t get his further incantations.
I’d like to see that on the side quests page, as you have to do homework in this game to get the experience

Minor error in the quest part. Corhyn and Goldmask are east of the colosseum, not west.
"After obtaining at least two Great Runes and gaining access to Leyndell, Corhyn and Goldmask move to the city Leyndell, and are found on a cliff up west of the colosseum, contemplating a riddle."

As long as you DO NOT talk to Corhyn, he will stay in the Roundtable Hold regardless if you've been to Altus Plateu, this recently happened during my Goblin Slayer cosplay (i'm not using any spells so no reason to talk to him) and eventually after burning the tree, i came back to see his stuff lying on the floor in the Roundtable Hold.
- Anonymous
note: it's not entering Leyndell that causes Corhyn to move, I found him still next to the map after enter the city and even defeating Godfrey, though it should be noted I never spoke to him in Altus prior to finding him after esploring the capital.

If you're gonna make a quest guide how about you add the fact he's nowhere near goldmask after he lives because he's actually at where you find the map in altus plateau sped.

I think there's actually two ways to get the mending rune of order, but not get goldmasks set. At least, I essentially skipped the stargazer ruins step, never found that are until two playthrough later. And yet, after burning the Erdtree, I crossed the tree bridge and found goldmask's corpse with the rune floating above it. It's happened twice, cause I never knew about stargazer ruins. I really thought that was how the quest worked...

He moves to Leyndell once you beat the Draconic Tree Sentinel, even if you do not have two Great Runes.

Got to Farum Azula before completing his line, found his bell bearing near the coliseum in Leyndell.

Marika's Soreseal being in Haligtree makes this kinda useless since to get there you have to burn the tree making the quest officially dead. Useful on ng+ runs I guess.

What does completing Farum Azula have to do with triggering them to move. Dumb progression.

The change to his final location seems pretty odd based on the fact that he doesn't actually take the tonic of forgetfulness. He acts as if he lost his memories and wonders why his master left, but if he didn't drink then the poor guy just has natural amnesia I guess.

I don’t remember exactly how he put it, but after giving him a number of prayer books considered ‘heresies,’ he had another piece of dialogue about it being useful to him.

Here's how you can cast LAW OF REGRESSION which requires 37 INT.

I wanted one spell for him and didn't realize he only sold it after moving but died when I triggered the cutscene moving to Crumbling Farum Azula. Basically I have to do another run through the whole game to get that one spell for this one build. I suppose it doesn't matter much but it would have been nice to, you know, not lose an essential NPC due to slightly missed timings. I wish at least the spells he gains after moving to Lyndell dropped along with his Bell Bearing, but no, apparently you have to talk to him in Lyndell to get this one spell and not just take his Bell Bearing if he died after moving to the location where he adds that spell to his repertoire. Very finnicky.

There is an extra bit of dialogue from Corhyn if offered a prayerbook not mentioned here. I manged to trigger in Leyndell and at Stargazer's Ruins
My recordings audio is slightly glitched I can offer proof if it is needed. My guess is most players just miss this because they give their prayerbooks to Miriel.
"That...is a work of heresy. Its incantations bear no lineage from the Erdtree...Very well...I'll take it off your hands. I cannot afford to maintain my innocence an longer. I must dirty my hands to test my faith. Even if it onlyy offers the most meagre of hints, I will do whatever I can to help my master."

I just finished Farum Azula and realized that this guy had a whole quest line so I went to Altus Plateau only to find a bell bearing and his armor. Is that... supposed to happen? I just wanted the heal incantation...

Does he drop a bell bearing when killed?
I gave him books but A) he moves around a lot B) I don't care about his quest and C) I hate him and would feel no remorse for his demise.

WARNING:This questline is currently glitched when talking to him in the Mountaintops of the giants with a potion of forgetfulness in your inventory. Even when still selecting "don't give", it will still trigger the flag and keep him there even when Goldmask moves back to Leyndell while he will stay in the mountaintops like you gave him the potion. Not a huge difference in ending, but an annoyance for RolePlay fans.

So, This is the second time I've screwed this up and I have no idea how or why, I have not even defeated the Fire Giant nor Malenia yet, I found Goldmask on the bridge and informed Corhyn, I talked to them there and now they're gone, Not in Lyndell. I have 4 great runes, So I went back to the bridge for a look and now his mask is on the broken end, Not sure but I think it's all over now, Why? why did they not move to the capitol? I was clearing the Haligtree working towards Malenia. I was waiting for them to show up there to do the Regression WTH!

Bro calls literally prayerbook, except the Golden Order Principia, heresy. Even the Two Fingers prayerbook. Are the Two Fingers not serving the Greater will, thus the Golden Order? Apparently Corhyn thinks they aren't even though he has a freakin Two Fingers symbol on the wheel around his neck.

Corhyn the cleric, foresaw that their faith would end in flames. 'The burning of the Erdtree is the first cardinal sin'. Soon prophets were persecuted and driven from their homes, for foretold misfortune of burning of the erdtree. They were blindfolded, said if one can foresee future, should be able to walk without sight. And the rickety cart wheel around the neck warns passers-by not to lend an ear to their meandering sermons. (from prophet's set)
It is contradiction. If they have faith in Golden Order, then burning of erdtree cannot happen, but now the erdtree showing them image to burn it down. If one to prove truly sincere to the Golden Order, shouldn't they need to see burning of erdtree happen? Contradiction, because existence of Marika and Radagon, one formed the thorn to reject anyone reaching elden ring, forced the burning of Erdtree to happen.
Detailed enough, if we started as a prophet, we'll also received incantation catch flame, originating from a sinister prophecy, foretold the burning of the Erdtree is unavoidable.
Contradiction is the core of the lore in Elden Ring. The existing of Marika and Radagon, sincere commit sin, kill to save, cruel but true. 'One with two side', that everything has its opposite side, only matter which angle you judge it from. Body typed A and B instead of gender, were also telling this idea.
'Even after exile, Corhyn refused to recant his prophecies.' We can see Corhyn in roundtable also teach us Flame Sling, he'd follow the image Erdtree showed him. But he himself too lost in despair. What's after the burning of the erdtree? Where would he belong? So he seek for Goldmask, hoping the ancient great scholar would foresee a future he want.
After telling Corhyn Goldmask's location, we can then met Corhyn and Goldmask at the bridge. 'The master is always deep in contemplation. While I frantically attempt to record his wisdom; the movement of his finger.' Corhyn now act as finger reader of Goldmask, while Goldmask learning the events in TLB of the past years when he was gone.
'Now the master is facing quite the puzzle. The Golden Order is founded on the principle that Marika is the one true god. However...
The name of Marika's second husband, King Consort Radagon, also appeared... Who exactly was Radagon?' We knew that very few in TLB know about Radagon is Marika, nor knowing Radagon is now the actual ruler of Golden Order.
While Corhyn seek for redemption, Goldmask seek for path, a path that lead to future. Once we tell Goldmask the truth, we then get the gesture Golden Order Totality, which is the idea of combine gesture inner order and outer order. 'The current imperfection of the Golden Order, or instability of ideology, can be blamed upon the fickleness of the gods no better than men. That is the fly in the ointment.' (Mending Rune of Perfect Order)
GoldMask's idea of Perfect Order, is an Order that split gods away from men. Gods rule the law, and men follow the law. Mending Rune of Perfect Order goes around elden ring, covered the elden ring from men, deal between gods and power no longer men's business. Gods too no longer interfere men's life. Men will find their own Lord, live under God's law.
'The master was nothing more than a madman. Enchanted by a vain and ruinous delusion, he rejected the perfection of the Golden Order, seeking to supplant our glorious faith with his own!' Corhyn didn't find his redemption from Goldmask, refuse to recognize the fact, 'those blissful early days of blind belief are long past', chose to insist his 'sincere' to Golden Order.

I forgot to speak with them near the stargazer ruins before burning the erdtree... am I screwed out of this ending now?

If you give him the Golden Order Principia, instead of saying the usual judgement, he will instead say:
This...is a volume of incantation.
It's good to see your enthusiasm.
Indeed, I will happily take it off your hands.

I never ever got the option to mention goldmask to corhyn. I know this 1000% sure because the moment I encountered goldmask I tried endlessly to talk to him using various masks and gear equipped, and way way later when Corhyn started mentioning moving away I talked to him numerous times to buy every last incantation before he'd move. Never, EVER got the option to mention goldmask.

I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere, but it's hilarious that after you do the big cryptic puzzle, stand in the specific spot and cast the Incantation to transform the statue, it then places special message on the ground that just plainly states "Radagon is Marika." like they were worried people would still not get it at that point, so just bluntly spell it out.

Man offers to teach incantations of the two fingers, yet when I give him the two fingers prayerbook he calls it heresy

Just to let everyone know, if you progress too far in the game without progressing his questline, you cannot complete it. On all 3 of my playthroughs so far I've forgotten about him until the end of the game, at which point he and goldmask are nowhere to be seen. So just make sure you don't progress too far before starting the quest.

Goldmask: *stands*
Brother Corhyn: I would die for this man.

Does anyone know why he shows up at the bridge instead of the ashen capital at the end of his quest line?

I actually messed up on this one. Everything was fine until I did the Regression incantation just after accessing Farum Azula. I was thinking I haven't defeated Maliketh yet so we're still fine... nope. In the map Goldmask's icon is still in Leyndell but when I go there he's nowhere to be found and Corhyn's items are in the ground. So the lesson, do the Law of Regression part of the quest BEFORE going to Farum Azula

This dude straight up vanished for me completely after i have him a blackflame incantation book. Idk if i glitched it out or what but he was just gone for good.

Don’t know if this is common knowledge, but you can give him prayerbooks that you’d normally give to Turtle Pope. Saves a trip to Liurnia if you’re trying to get those spells early. He does complain when you give him the Godskin Prayerbook.

Apparently you can give him the tonic of forgetfulness when him and gold mask are in mountaintop of giants

I never finished this quest, didn't do the statue puzzle, so they stayed at the top of the cliff by the coliseum until I lit the tree (frenzy path) and Corhyn died but Mask stayed there, until I reached Ashen Leyndell and Mask just completely vanished, not at the top of bottom of the cliffs, I checked every spot, but the map still indicates he's still there at the top?? Just phased into a quantum plane of existence I guess.

So no matter what he dies? I don't even know what kills him after Farum Azula.

At Stargazer's Ruin Bridge after finishing Farum Azula he says "Master, where did you go? I'm right here, please show me. Your finger, your rhythms and calculus. Let me document the motions. Master.. master.. where did you go?"

I'm at the Capital and I don't see Corhyn or Goldmask anywhere. Corhyn disappeared and Goldmask is still at the bridge. Did I miss something in-between? I just beat Godrey.

You need inteligence to see through the lies of the golden order.

Hey Corhyn buddy if you’re going to be Goldmask’s scribe maybe TAKE YOUR BLINDFOLD OFF SO YOU CAN SEE.

I have already picked up goldmask's remain and beat the elden beast so I am about to start new game but Corhyn just wouldnt die or leave the freaking snowy mountain bridge and kept repeating the same line. Anyone knows what is wrong ?

What the hell is the Cornyx and Corhyn bulletpoint at the trivia section? It’s so pointless and doesn’t even make sense, Corhyn sells miracle equivalents of DS3 while Cornyx sells pyromancies. Why are only registered members allowed to make edits to the pages if it doesn’t stop people from writing dumbass things here? At least let everyone edit it without having to create an account so these can be fixed.

Since its Radagon its probably the best time to say this, religion is a scam and having more blind Faith wouldn't help you realize this. What you need is a bit of Intelligence.

After testing, can confirm that Corhyn stays in the Mountaintops of the Giants if you attempt to give him the Tonic of Forgetfulness. Conversely, he moves to the Ashen Capital if you don't.

They didn't move for me after the statue part and exhausting all their dialogue / reloading. I had already cleared Mountaintops of the Giants by the time I did this. If their Mountaintops dialogue refers to breaching the mountain, perhaps I have skipped a trigger to make them move?

You do NOT get the Mending Rune of Perfect Order from Brother Corhyn after you exhaust his final dialog. You get it from Goldmask hidden off route. The walkthrough should reflect that. In short; Did not expect wrong info, Therefore Try Youtube.

GUYS YOU HAVE TO TALK TO GOLDMASK ABOUT THE PUZZLE NOT CORHYN OR ELSE HE WONT MOVE TO MOUNTAINTOPS

I bet Corhyn remains at stargazer ruins IF you try to give him the forgetfulness tonic. Happened to me.

So I cast the spell in Leyndell and told Goldmask about it but now they wont move to Stargazers Ruins, I've exhausted they're dialogue so I don't know what else to do, does anyone have any clues?

I enjoyed these two, they felt like a silly old couple in the end, also stumbled qcross them here and there. Truly was a silly affair, but I liked them showing people of the faith trying to figure things out, while the demigods themselves are in a battle for the throne. Shows you faith often is a journey, no god is required, only your belief in yourself. Though this can also lead to scary things, like Dung Eater lol

interesting to note that usually, he says that every book you give him is a "work of heresy", even if he accepts to teach you the incantations. But once you reach Leyndell Capital, and give him a book where he's standing near Goldmask trying to figure why he stopped moving, he will say : "I cannot afford to maintain my innocence any longer. I must dirty my hands to test my faith. Even if it offers only the most meagre of hints, I will do whatever I can to help my master."
Need to update the incantations sold by Brother Corhyn, list is incomplete
