Completing NPC quests is one of the most surefire ways to get your hands on powerful items in Elden Ring. You might have to follow cryptic instructions, solve bizarre riddles, or complete challenging tasks in order to help these characters «fulfill their purpose,» but doing so is almost always made worth your while with the rewards you reap at the end.
