Tracking down every Deathroot in Elden Ring is essential for players seeking to complete Gurranq's questline and unlock unique incantations. Scattered across various dungeons and held by field bosses throughout the Lands Between, these key items require careful exploration and tactical combat. This guide provides a full overview of where to locate all nine Deathroots and how to redeem them efficiently.
Early Game Deathroot Locations in Limgrave and Liurnia
The journey begins in Limgrave, where players can acquire their first two Deathroots. One is found inside a chest behind the Black Knife Assassin in the Deathtouched Catacombs, while another drops upon defeating the Tibia Mariner in Summonwater Village. Both locations offer manageable early-game challenges for growing adventurers.
Moving into Liurnia of the Lakes, two more Deathroots become available for collection. Players can locate one inside a chest behind the Cemetery Shade in the Black Knife Catacombs. The fourth Deathroot is dropped by another Tibia Mariner located near the eastern side of Liurnia of the Lakes.
Mid-Game Deathroot Locations in Altus Plateau and Mt. Gelmir
As Tarnished progress toward the Altus Plateau, a fifth Deathroot can be obtained in Wyndham Ruins. Defeating the Tibia Mariner lurking in these submerged ruins yields the item. This area features higher environmental hazards, requiring quick maneuvering on horseback.
The sixth Deathroot requires exploring Mt. Gelmir's dangerous terrain. Deep within Gelmir Hero's Grave, players must defeat the Red Wolf of the Champion. Looting the chest in the boss room rewards the sixth Deathroot for Gurranq.
Late-Game Deathroot Locations in Mountaintops of the Giants
The final three Deathroots are located in late-game regions, starting with Mountaintops of the Giants. Defeating the Tibia Mariner near Castle Sol grants the seventh Deathroot. Another Deathroot resides inside a chest after defeating the Ulcerated Tree Spirit in Giants' Mountaintop Catacombs.
The ninth and final Deathroot requires navigating the secret catacombs underneath the Hidden Path to the Haligtree. Players must conquer the Stray Mimic Tear boss to access the final reward chest. Completing this collection fulfills Gurranq's requests and unlocks the ultimate Bestial Sanctum rewards.
