Elden Ring: Corhyn and Gold Mask

Brother Corhyn is an NPC in Elden Ring who teaches you invocations in Round Table Keep. But at a certain point he’s gone and you have to find him to complete his quest. This is related to the golden mask and gives you one of the healing runes at the end. In our walkthrough and video we guide you through all the steps of Corhyn’s Quest.

You can see the complete walkthrough for Corhyn and Goldmask’s quest in the following video. Below is the guide in text form.

After reaching the Altus Plateau, either via the Ruined abyss or the great procession of Dectus, Corhyn tells you about his plan to leave the Round Table. He wants to follow the Golden Mask, a scholar exploring the Golden Order.

After reloading the festivals, he repeats his plan and gives you the last chance to learn invocations from him. After reloading the keep, Corhyn will be gone. If you have prayer books or want to learn invocations, you can now switch to the turtle pope Miriel in the Church of the Vows in Liurnia.

Corhyn is available to you again as usual as a teacher for invocations and now also has the two new invocations “Great Healing” and “Lightning Fortification” on offer.
