PLEASE PIN this comment please to help others in same boat. So I have gone through every single step, multiple times checking Alexander's loctions. I talked to him in every step, even beginning in Limgrave and Caelid tunnel area. Then killed Radahn, found him and exhausted his dialogue at the site of grace after. Found him in Atlus, freed him with oil, found him in the lava, exhausted dialogue, then summoned him and killed fire giant in the snowlands. Then got to the FINAL place, there was a dragon there instead of him, okay I killed it, reset at grace, came to see if he was in the last plcace, still no Alexander. Passed time at site of grace, still no Alexander, okay I tried going back in order of the questline of his possible locations, he iss no where except star scourge battlefield just down from that grace after defeating radahn, repeating dialogue from earlier. Based on everyone's comments I have searched on this video and all others I could possibly find on youtube, as well as reddit on google.... It seems he is bugged here for people like us. Is the only thing to keep playing the main story line and trying to come back randomly to see if he spawns, OR wait until Software patch this in a further update? ANY TIPS OR IDEAS are greatly appreciated, in the end we all just want the damn shard LOL. Last resort option is regretfully killing him in the radahn battlefield, but who knows if this only gives me the weaker shard of 10% or the greater 15% because I did everything else in the questline? Is it REALLY that important for an extra 5%? I am considering just killing the only Alexander I see, cause 10% is more extra damage than 0% no talisman.... I have 90 hours in my first only playthrough, don't feel like starting all over just to see if this bug isnt there for me again lmao. However, EXCELLENT video guide man, very helpful, if only Software Questlines were just a tad more possible to actually accomplish and not bug the hell out so often.... XD
Thanks to you buddy I could finish the quest, my dude was stuck at Radahn battlefield I talked to him again and again then rest at the site and he was gone to the next stop , and I followed him all the way to the end and got the quest (at this point I am almost done with Crumbling Azula and went back to do it.
@@NerdGlassGamingPA Glad it worked for you! I will try this too, and if it doesnt work will do it in NG+ haha. This is literally the last piece I want anyway. Until then, doing all other side quests I can before Beginning journey 2.
@@vanzter I love that there’s no hand holding or questline. It is super annoying yes, but it is more submersive, makes you feel like you’re actually in the game and pay more attention to dialogues.
@@hughle9617 true, but I'm talking more like a list of which quest your on. Let's say you start one it'll at least let you know your in the middle of a quest an if you make a mistake or miss some dialogue it'll just vanish. I'm all for the game not really telling you where to go but for the side quest, a little tracking wouldn't hurt.
Latest patch added icons of NPC locations. But it has people checking the map 24/7 just so they don't miss anything. Drives me insane. Wish they'd add a journal for quests.
Fun fact , I start his quest line after defeated Radahn and 1st time talk to Alexander on battlefield , than when you reach last location , you actually fight him and after you defeat him he will give you Shard of Alexander as well , felt like this way more fun , since he dies as a great warrior :)
For those coming here in 2024 and never found him until end game don’t worry. You can meet at where you guys have defeated Radahn and continue the quest all the way through🙃
I legit cried on the last part when he died. After all that we went through. Radahn, and fire giant. Those times i helped him get unstuck. Rest in piece. Alexander The warrior. You shall never be forgotten.
@@TeshiKyoshi why ya read comments if dont wanna spoiler after all this whole video is a spoiler cuz it shows where to find him instead of you finding it by yourself
I had to step away from the TV after his last few words… my wife was heating up her food and watching me fight back the water works as I was trying to explain to her why the game just surprised me with that emotional take, so I get it 🫡 Alexander. You’ll live in thru Us.
I met him early accidently and also met him before Radahn who was my second boss to kill and after many-many bosses and like 60 game hours (was just in front of god skin duo) I found him back at Radahn field and from that point everything went smoothly, so thank you!
Alexander is definitely at the area where the dragon is, without the dragon. I didn't kill it this playthrough and just found him chillin there. Thanks!
@@davadh looking for this. thanks, big help. im looking for him near the end of the game and can't find him anywhere, finally found him at Radahn battlefield
Just a point of clarification: Completing the questline with his Duel awards you only the Shard of Alexander. You also get "Alexander's Innards" which shows up as a keepsake in your inventory. Perhaps it is or will be referenced by another quest later (this is also where the blood soaked maiden cloth is in your inventory). I'm assuming that killing him early is the only way to receive the inferior Warrior Jar Shard. TYVM for the video! Helped me track him down. I didn't recall using an oil pot to rescue him from the ground a second time, so I'm not sure that is necessary for the line. I still found him in Crumbling Farum Azula just fine. No sign of a dragon today, but I had cleared almost the entire area my first pass through. It's possible I already killed said dragon. (Though I did notice an Erd Sapling and Golden seed I had not looted before on the way, so maybe I missed this section, even though I had already unlocked the lift.)
@@captnkurt83 Yeah. It's too late. However, the Talisman he gave you for beating him in the fight is the best version of that Talisman (the Warrior's Shard is inferior to it). So unless you just want all the stuffs, you didn't miss out in the end. You can, of course, get it in your next playthrough/ng+.
There's definitely a huge dragon that spawns on that platform in farum azula but since it's a late game area it doesn't drop anything other then runes so idk maybe after beating the area and skipping that part Alexander just spawned and the dragon just bugged out (idk why I had a crystal dragon just Thanos snap away when it was half health on ranni's rise lol i didn't even get its heart)
If anyone is having trouble with that magma wyrm (I'm on NG+ three and it can one shot me and takes like no damage that kinda blind sided me) you can just run past it on your horse untill it's boss health bar disappears wait like 10 or so seconds and run back and you can talk to Alexander without killing it.
Hey folks please read this For anyone wondering after you beat the game you can still do his quest, if he isnt in any of the areas go to rahdans area first and speak with him there, then go to the area by the tower, use some oil to grease him up then use a sword and attack him from the back with a charged attack (if you kill him the quest is over) after that he'll be in the flame area like in the video, speak with him there then go to the dragon area and he should be waiting after you beat the dragon, talk to him until he asked you to fight him then after you'll get the shard. I just did this today
Thanks a ton! Great video! I saw another video that was shorter but the guy was not even close to as thorough as you were in this video. His video tough short, wasted my time and yours was easy to follow thanks again maybe I can beat Melania now ?
Thanks a lot for the guide mate, appreciate your help :) To the people out there who can’t find him anywhere and are sure you haven’t killed him don’t lose hope, I could not find him anywhere at all until after I killed the dragon at crumbling azula where Alexander will be in his final spot. After I killed the dragon, he was back at the place where we kill Radahn near the sign of grace forging for parts. After that I found him at the lava area and then finally at crumbling azula where the sleeping dragon was. I hope this helps!
Went to the dragon area, killed the dragon, respawn at grace, still couldn't see him. Went back to all the areas and couldn't find him. Looked again, and he was still touching sand at Radahn's place. Followed quest as video indicated and got the item. Thanks!
@@luierodriguez I think after the lava place, he mentioned going to the dragons area, so you may not need to, but you will need to go to the dragon area, which you go to after the snow area (story-wise) anyways unless you go through a portal. Either way, you'll need to kill the dragon in the dragon area before he spawns there.
@@connerbirley2823 At Rahdan, he should be saying he's going somewhere. After you get that dialogue, you check the grace there and he should be gone. That's where you'll find him stuck and need the oil pot. He'll get a bit bruised so he needs to go to the lava place to harden his body, and then he'll go to the dragon place finally.
After having this game for 2 years I just found the shard!! I didn't realize he was on the Radaan field and couldn't find him in the second stuck part!!! Also if you turn in the inards to his nephew you get the jar companion. Thanks again! Now I can fight the final boss in the expansion!
If anyone's wondering if you can do this after beating the game, you can. I didn't see Alexander after beating Radhan for the entire game, beat it, and went back to the second hole you find him in and he was there. So just speedran his quest after and he was everywhere he needed to be.
fr tho, when he said he wanted to fight i thought it would be a friendly spar…. but then when you beat him and he suddenly blew up, i became extremely sad
You gave him the most incredible honour he could have asked for. "All vessels are destined to one day break. But the great Alexander lived as a warrior to his last! Ha ha ha ha!" You certainly did, Alexander, Warrior Jar.
Alexander might be the only quest I managed to complete on my initial (amazing) game without internet! I do wish I found his nephew’s village on my own! 😫
9:34 u didn't mention the fight with him i got surprised when he suddenly started attacking me and thought i messed something up so i used celestial dew to make him non-hostile just to find out i still had to fight and kill him
Thank you for this guide! I missed this quest on my first playthrough and, even though I’m super excited to start Erdtree, I’m going through this quest in NG1 before starting the expansion. Thanks again!!
You can skip the 2nd “stuck in the hole” part by going to Mt. Gelmir straight away. He will get out of there on his own without you having to lube his ass and hit him from behind.
Great video but one big thing wasn't explained (or I missed it if it was) and also one minor thing missed at the end. Overall, you don't have to focus on completing any of the quest line up until the Radahn fight. I literally beat Radahn right after doing the first 2 bosses in Stormvale Castle, leaving the Jar guy sitting there stuck in the mud. I talked to him after Radahn and then you can skip right to the section covered in the video near Volcano Manor. The thing he didn't mention at the end is already covered below...not important, since you get the Shard of Alexander after the fight, making the other lesser item irrelevant.
@@ConCon my friend Im in very late game but Alexander is stuck at radahn place I speak him and says the same think over and over I go to all other locations but Alexander was never there what I do wrong?
I got 6 min into your video before you said I need to get to the land of the giants…..I haven’t had my hopes smacked down like that in years. Thank you tho WHEN I find out how to get there I’ll check this Video out again
You don't have to go up the dectus lift you can go thru the secret passage that leads you up to abandoned coffin, I didn't get the dectus till late game
There is two possible endings, If you only meet him in radahns boss room, stuck with oil, and the volcano. he will challenge you to a duel and you get 2 items when you kill him. It was low key sad to kill him though.
I never did this mission cause I knew how it would end…I needed that talisman for spear of impaler flame build so I just finished it. RIP a true warrior..
I can't seem to find him at any of the locations as the first time I met him was in the Gael tunnel before the festival boss fight where I summoned him and haven't seen him since after talking to him after the boss. Is the questline messed up for me or will it just pick up when I go to the last location you meet him or at the fire giant fight?
If anyone can’t find hime he is most likely at and previous spot and you forgot to talk to him (Like at the Battlefield) So keep that in mind :) Greta video 🎉
It should be noted that once you say yes to talking to (Melina) it is the first soft point of no return in elden ring, which will alter some of your quest lines. Make sure you get everything you want done before progressing this point. But to continue this is a necessary step in progressing the game and has many rewards to follow.... Happy hunting.
Bro I'm so mad, I guess I didn't put two and two together and completed the quest line. He was my favorite NPC of the game and the ending is BS, I lost a bro today 😭.
i completely skipped the second time you need find him trapped in the ground and he was still stood in the magma, i spoke to him there. i was able to summon him at the fire giant boss if i wanted too.
i didn't kill the fire giant yet to get to the dragon temple, so I spent hours upgrading latenna, then failed and got close so many times to killing him, afterwards I managed to first try the godskin duo, then finally killed Alexander in the great battle. I started at 12 something in the morning. it is 5:41am. thank you though 👍
After I beat the dragon, Alexander wasn't there, he was back at Radahns. I spoke with him multiple times and he never moves. I've completed literally every other part of this questline including killing the dragon at the end where Alexander is supposed to be. I guess it's just bugged for me :(
For the Alexander lore he was beaten badly after the radahn fight he mentioned that he was cracked so he went to the volcano to heal his wounds it’s noted that the lava has healing power for jars that are badly wounded in battle so that’s where they travel to get stronger jar armor
If you don’t see him at the dragon lift for the final step, go to the radahn battle field and he should be there gathering stuff. Simply hit him until he pops.
@@firdaushbhadha2597 There is no other way to get the actual shard if you did what I did, even before killing him you get hard locked out of him going to the final spot. you either get this or go into NG+1
@@CrowLovesYou I totally get it, just warning people what happens if they do end up in this situation. Perhaps you have to finish his dialogue on the battlefield and then start the stuff after? Cause I didn’t see him in the second spot he gets stuck at, nor the lava lake, nor the the final area.
@@firdaushbhadha2597 I tried everything, I went to a grace point multiple times after speaking to him at the battlefield and he just stayed put. There might me a way to get him to farum azula but from my research. I couldn't find anything.
Hi, thx for the video but I have a problem. I went through every step of his questline, even spawned him to fight against the fire giant. I went to farum azula, killed the dragon and he was not there. Somehow he seems to be just like at the end of radahn fight (like 3 step back in his questline). I talked to him there and exhausted his dialogue but that s it, he won't move. Any ideas ? I'm lost. I'm on ng+4 and I want to have a break with the game, I did it all over again a fourth time just to get that talisman...
@@ConCon I did, I actually went through every step very smoothly (first encounter, gael tunnel, radahn festival, oil pot, mount gelmir and firegiant), no problem, killed the fire giant with him, and when I got to farum azula he wasn t there, I looked for him on the map and he is in radahn field gathering something on the ground talking about being whole or something. Maybe something worth noting I somehow couldnt use my horse against fire giant and I beat him first try. I assumed it was because I summoned alexander but it doesn t seem to be normal... maybe I encountered a rare bug that fucked the questline, maybe I should have die to the giant it would have reset the situation or something, anyway it feels like I m fucked
@@gregoireazema6664 So after progressing to the point where I had every map location unlocked except farum azula i finally went back to the radahn field and found him then progressed his quest line according to the vid and like you I also spawned him to help with fire giant and now he is not at the last spot after killing the dragon and now hes in the redahn field gathering himself with the same one line so idk maybe it is a bug smh i spent a good 2.5 hours proggressing through boss fights and the rest of the map just for the tailsman im on my first playthrough btw
Anyone who still has their Alexander at Starscourge battlefield make sure to exhaust dialogue, even when he starts to relegate certain lines he will then say something new, talk to him like 6 times to be sure you exhausted dialogue then rest at grace to see if he disappears, if not try talking again.
- i killed radahn and talked to alexander - i craftet the oil pot and helped him out of the hole - i saw him in the lava lake at mt. gelmir but decided to kill the magmaworm first. - after i killed the magmaworm alexander wasnt there anymore - killed the giant before the start of the quest - no alexander at the giants place, no alexander at final position in farum azura - now he is back at radahns place - but speaking to him doesnt change his position anymore Anyone could help?
Omg, completing Alexander's quest is a must!! His talisman is so powerful for weapon skills damage. If you killed Alexander before finishing, dangz that sucks for you
Try double scavenger's curved swords with seppuku, they absolutely melt bosses. I literally beat radahn without summons before he got to phase 2 just spamming jumping L1's.
PLEASE PIN this comment please to help others in same boat. So I have gone through every single step, multiple times checking Alexander's loctions.

Alexander reminds me of our favorite onion pal from the last souls games, I miss the guy, and his big jug we always cheers with!
Oh nice haha
When I saw Alexander perish I cried a little
Fucking guy is taking a hot bath in the lava. God damn no wonder I missed him in this part. Thanks for the guide bro
0:01 "Alexarnder"
Alexander might be the only quest I managed to complete on my initial (amazing) game without internet!
I do wish I found his nephew’s village on my own! 😫
9:34 u didn't mention the fight with him i got surprised when he suddenly started attacking me and thought i messed something up so i used celestial dew to make him non-hostile just to find out i still had to fight and kill him
Yeah I didn't want to spoil the story for people
I just ran away..so do i have to fight with him to get the alexander shard talisman?
@@mowglimania yes
@@AlhassanAltaan bros been waiting over a year for that answer 💀
Thank you for this guide! I missed this quest on my first playthrough and, even though I’m super excited to start Erdtree, I’m going through this quest in NG1 before starting the expansion. Thanks again!!
No problem
Bruh great walk trough but how could u leave out the end!!! the memory of my friend splattering blood like a water ballon will forever haunt me
I know friend, I know
I think he didn’t want to spoil it
It was a pleasant surprise. I'm glad you left it out.
Well he probably didn’t want to spoil it but thanks UA-cam for putting comments at the top and thank you for spoiling it yourself, dick
Well I got smacked bc I wasn't ready for that lol...
One year later your work is still appreciated😊👍🏾
I appreciate that!
You can skip the 2nd “stuck in the hole” part by going to Mt. Gelmir straight away. He will get out of there on his own without you having to lube his ass and hit him from behind.
Interesting!
No diddy😂
No DRIZZY
Thanks Kid, Couldn't Have done it without ya!!
Kid? Lol I'm 29
No Offense Intended, Great Video, Best One On UA-cam From What I Saw.✌
I loved Alexander but knowing these souls games there will be a sad end,Great video thank you now I can be that one annoying frost user thanks to you.
You're very welcome
first time playing the game and your guide helped me a ton thank you!
The sense of fucking pride and fulfillment that jar had inspires me
I know right
I appreciate you not spoiling anything at all with a still detailed and thorough guide. I am however now sad.
No problem
Great video but one big thing wasn't explained (or I missed it if it was) and also one minor thing missed at the end. Overall, you don't have to focus on completing any of the quest line up until the Radahn fight. I literally beat Radahn right after doing the first 2 bosses in Stormvale Castle, leaving the Jar guy sitting there stuck in the mud. I talked to him after Radahn and then you can skip right to the section covered in the video near Volcano Manor. The thing he didn't mention at the end is already covered below...not important, since you get the Shard of Alexander after the fight, making the other lesser item irrelevant.
Indeed that is true, but some people might want the lesser one to use before they get to him at the end.
thanks again
Glad you like them!
You can skip getting the oil pot to get him out of the hole near jarburg or the carian study hall, I found him near the volcano without doing that.
Yes he progresses through as you do
My brother - massive kudos for the thorough assistance. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you, your videos is fast, simple and clear.
Glad you like them!
@@ConCon my friend Im in very late game but Alexander is stuck at radahn place I speak him and says the same think over and over I go to all other locations but Alexander was never there what I do wrong?
I wouldnt fast but simple and clear sure.
I got 6 min into your video before you said I need to get to the land of the giants…..I haven’t had my hopes smacked down like that in years. Thank you tho WHEN I find out how to get there I’ll check this Video out again
Yeah gotta work hard for this talisman
You don't have to go up the dectus lift you can go thru the secret passage that leads you up to abandoned coffin, I didn't get the dectus till late game
Same here
Oh nice haha
The best guide for the shard yet.
Thanks!
@@ConCon no problem
Great detailed guide man thanks!! 🙏🔥
Glad it was helpful!
Ty so much. I found him at Radahn’s battleground., then the volcano area. Geezus that faruma azula level is hard af lol.
Yeah it really is!
your guide was crazy helpful thanks for that great content
Glad to help :D
Thank you this was the best guide I could find
I didn’t see him at Leurnia after Caelid. I even killed Fire Giant before seeing Alexander again. He still was at volcano area.
Yes as your progress through the game, you may find him it later places
Thank you brother, really appreciate how well you explained everything 🙏 Alexander must never be forgotten!
No doubt!
I killed the merchant to get his bell bearing and his dying words were "why good sir" it fucking broke me😢
Fair enough
I tried at this comment
Died
best guide i've found, thanks!
Glad it helped!
Earned a sub, great walk through!!
Glad I could help
Nice guide. I am close to get it. If you are play on pc how you cast horizontal slash with moonveil?
Ash of war and then light attack does it
@@ConCon i was asking the buttons because it is a little bit complicated on pc
There is two possible endings, If you only meet him in radahns boss room, stuck with oil, and the volcano. he will challenge you to a duel and you get 2 items when you kill him. It was low key sad to kill him though.
Very sad
I fkn folded that rat fucker lol talkin bout some challenging me to a duel jhit stood no chance
I never did this mission cause I knew how it would end…I needed that talisman for spear of impaler flame build so I just finished it. RIP a true warrior..
Rest in Peace, Warrior Alexander.
True
Bro tanks so much for the guide it help so much!!
No problem!
I can't seem to find him at any of the locations as the first time I met him was in the Gael tunnel before the festival boss fight where I summoned him and haven't seen him since after talking to him after the boss. Is the questline messed up for me or will it just pick up when I go to the last location you meet him or at the fire giant fight?
I had the same problem and he was chilling behind the grace where you kill rahdan
He's in the Rahdan arena, just go to the grace and he will be behind you.
@@zachariahbryan9450 where will he be after you meet him in radahns room?
Just check each location, the odds are that he will be at one of them
@@ConCon yes thank you for me he was in raya lucaria and I just completed his quest!!
If anyone can’t find hime he is most likely at and previous spot and you forgot to talk to him (Like at the Battlefield) So keep that in mind :)
Greta video 🎉
Yup! you're welcome
Awesome thanks for this walk through !!!!
Any time!
Thanks a lot man. You made that walkthrough super easy!
Glad you liked it!
Do you get both effects when you equip both talismans at the same time?
Actually not sure but I believe it would work like that yes
@@ConCon thanks brother
@@lan4756 you cannot equip two of the same type of talisman. Even if they are different talismans with varying levels of strength.
@@electricfrostfire thank you
It should be noted that once you say yes to talking to (Melina) it is the first soft point of no return in elden ring, which will alter some of your quest lines. Make sure you get everything you want done before progressing this point. But to continue this is a necessary step in progressing the game and has many rewards to follow.... Happy hunting.
Bro I'm so mad, I guess I didn't put two and two together and completed the quest line. He was my favorite NPC of the game and the ending is BS, I lost a bro today 😭.
Sorry to hear that 😕 he fought well
Thanks so much. I didn't find alexander in liunra, but I did find him at the volcano.
Nice glad it helped
What about the Sword of Night and Flame? Does it increase the weapon's special attacks or no?
Every weapon skill.. c'mon man, pay attention
All ashes of war skills that deal damage
actual legend. thanks so much man your a lifesaver
I recommend don't killing him at all. He'll help you fight the fire giant later on In the game. And he is really hard.
If you kill him before the fire giant you don't get the talisman anyway
@@ConCon Oh ok so it's only after that fight anyway. Cool 😎.
Thank you! So well-articulated! Subbed.
Awesome, thank you!
i completely skipped the second time you need find him trapped in the ground and he was still stood in the magma, i spoke to him there.
i was able to summon him at the fire giant boss if i wanted too.
Yup as you progress through the game, so does he
i didn't kill the fire giant yet to get to the dragon temple, so I spent hours upgrading latenna, then failed and got close so many times to killing him, afterwards I managed to first try the godskin duo, then finally killed Alexander in the great battle. I started at 12 something in the morning. it is 5:41am. thank you though 👍
Sounds like an eventful experience haha
@@ConCon very 😭
I appreciate the spoiler avoidance at the end
You're welcome
Got it. This quest is there all the way, even after finishing the game.
After I beat the dragon, Alexander wasn't there, he was back at Radahns. I spoke with him multiple times and he never moves. I've completed literally every other part of this questline including killing the dragon at the end where Alexander is supposed to be. I guess it's just bugged for me :(
Might be, you can try hit him just once to see if he reacts and talks more
Same here, I followed the questline to the dragon at the end. Killed the dragon and he's back at Radahn and only saying same thing.
@@ConCon I tried hitting him but the dialogue doesn't change. I don't want to keep hitting him and kill him and just get the weak version.
For the Alexander lore he was beaten badly after the radahn fight he mentioned that he was cracked so he went to the volcano to heal his wounds it’s noted that the lava has healing power for jars that are badly wounded in battle so that’s where they travel to get stronger jar armor
Oh god, Alexander has just been stuck in Liurnia for like, 50 hours. Poor guy
My boy is dead
Poor pot
this is the best quesrline listening I ever seen gj man
Anyone wondering if you can get this if you beat the game, you can. If you already did rahdan he will be there.
Yeah he should be there
Can you do this after you’ve beaten the story? Because I haven’t found him in any of the places in the video yet.
Yes, I did it in the footage after becoming elden lord
If you don’t see him at the dragon lift for the final step, go to the radahn battle field and he should be there gathering stuff. Simply hit him until he pops.
Thanks for sharing
Don't do this, if you kill him you just get the Warrior Jar Shard.
@@firdaushbhadha2597 There is no other way to get the actual shard if you did what I did, even before killing him you get hard locked out of him going to the final spot. you either get this or go into NG+1
@@CrowLovesYou I totally get it, just warning people what happens if they do end up in this situation. Perhaps you have to finish his dialogue on the battlefield and then start the stuff after? Cause I didn’t see him in the second spot he gets stuck at, nor the lava lake, nor the the final area.
@@firdaushbhadha2597 I tried everything, I went to a grace point multiple times after speaking to him at the battlefield and he just stayed put. There might me a way to get him to farum azula but from my research. I couldn't find anything.
Thank you
Came back to do this to upgrade my weapons in the dlc
The ritual sword talisman is way better for any dps buff
Use both, ritual sword talisman is a 10% increase to attack power, shard of alexander is a 15% increase to skill damage
Great video. Helped very much thank you!
You're welcome
Hi, thx for the video but I have a problem. I went through every step of his questline, even spawned him to fight against the fire giant. I went to farum azula, killed the dragon and he was not there. Somehow he seems to be just like at the end of radahn fight (like 3 step back in his questline). I talked to him there and exhausted his dialogue but that s it, he won't move.
Any ideas ? I'm lost. I'm on ng+4 and I want to have a break with the game, I did it all over again a fourth time just to get that talisman...
You didn't see him at the lava place after the radahn fight dialogue?
@@ConCon I did, I actually went through every step very smoothly (first encounter, gael tunnel, radahn festival, oil pot, mount gelmir and firegiant), no problem, killed the fire giant with him, and when I got to farum azula he wasn t there, I looked for him on the map and he is in radahn field gathering something on the ground talking about being whole or something. Maybe something worth noting I somehow couldnt use my horse against fire giant and I beat him first try. I assumed it was because I summoned alexander but it doesn t seem to be normal... maybe I encountered a rare bug that fucked the questline, maybe I should have die to the giant it would have reset the situation or something, anyway it feels like I m fucked
@@gregoireazema6664 same saying youll all be inside me
I’m having this same issue, talked to him, got him out of the pot , talked to him in the lava area , and he ended up back on Radhans area
@@gregoireazema6664 So after progressing to the point where I had every map location unlocked except farum azula i finally went back to the radahn field and found him then progressed his quest line according to the vid and like you I also spawned him to help with fire giant and now he is not at the last spot after killing the dragon and now hes in the redahn field gathering himself with the same one line so idk maybe it is a bug smh i spent a good 2.5 hours proggressing through boss fights and the rest of the map just for the tailsman im on my first playthrough btw
thank you brother 👊🏻👊🏻
No problem 👍
uh you have to beat the godskin duo to get that waypoint that probably shoulda been mentioned
You have a whole game to play to get to this point.
@@ConCon shit guide
Anyone who still has their Alexander at Starscourge battlefield make sure to exhaust dialogue, even when he starts to relegate certain lines he will then say something new, talk to him like 6 times to be sure you exhausted dialogue then rest at grace to see if he disappears, if not try talking again.
Thanks for sharing
- i killed radahn and talked to alexander
- i craftet the oil pot and helped him out of the hole
- i saw him in the lava lake at mt. gelmir but decided to kill the magmaworm first.
- after i killed the magmaworm alexander wasnt there anymore
- killed the giant before the start of the quest
- no alexander at the giants place, no alexander at final position in farum azura
- now he is back at radahns place
- but speaking to him doesnt change his position anymore
Anyone could help?
hit him once weakly to get a reaction from him
Lol start a new game 😂
Omg, completing Alexander's quest is a must!! His talisman is so powerful for weapon skills damage. If you killed Alexander before finishing, dangz that sucks for you
Thanks that was really helpful😃
Glad it helped!
Did he ask you to fight? I also got his inards after he attacked me.
Yes
Thx you so much 🥳
You’re welcome 😊
I feel bad for killing the merchant😢
Okay
“It’s a parkour bit” *proceeds not to mention the 2 absurdly op enemies up there. Ty dude really appreciate it…
I couldn’t kill the merchant he’s so sweet and plays music :(
Hahaha no problem
Same and they are the reason some places become speciall
Alexander is a literal wall in this fight I’d totally recommend having him fight with if you’re struggling
True
can you do a video on curved swords? I really like the weapon and I'm interested in different types of curved builds
I have one that I want to talk about soon so yes I will
Try double scavenger's curved swords with seppuku, they absolutely melt bosses.
I literally beat radahn without summons before he got to phase 2 just spamming jumping L1's.
Thank u so much excellent guide wanted this item for the dlc I'm playing right now thank u
Sameeee lmao
He isnt there for me, anyone know y?
If you beat radahn he will be on the battlefield
@@ConCon thanks :)
