While progressing through Liurnia of the Lakes in Elden Ring, the Tarnished will be presented with the opportunity to join Volcano Manor, and it's an invitation they should accept. Elden Ring features a number of branching side quests and missions in its massive open world, the Lands Between, although not every character encountered is necessarily heroic. The denizens of Volcano Manor very much fit into that «not heroic» bracket, as they are directly opposed to the Erdtree and the Fingers and will task the player with assassinating other Tarnished. Players who do not wish to go against the Guidance of Grace may instinctively refuse the invitation to join Volcano Manor in Elden Ring, but, bar being asked to do some questionable acts, there are actually zero downsides to joining.
Founded by Lord Rykard centuries before the main events of Elden Ring, Volcano Manor is home to assassins who hunt fellow Tarnished. In order to gain the favor of the head of the Manor, Lady Tanith, players will have to complete contracts to assassinate fellow Tarnished. This essentially serves as an introduction to the PvP mechanics of Elden Ring, as players are tasked with invading the worlds of NPC Tarnished and killing them. It's grim work, and the fiery backdrop and menacing decor of Volcano Manor may lead some to feel guilty about what they're being asked to do, but ultimately, joining has no downsides in relation to Elden Ring's story and ignoring the quest will mean missing out on some cool extra content — not to mention some unique armor sets.
