RYA QUESTLINE: POINTS OF FAILURE

1. If you join the Volcano Manor without speaking to Rya at Liurnia of the Lakes, you will lose
access to Blackguard Big Boggart and his questline for the rest of that playthrough, as he will
refuse to speak with you if you haven't spoken with Rya in the swamp about retrieving a necklace
from someone who stole it. This will also render you unable to purchase Boiled Prawn and Boiled
Crab. (However, you can enter the Manor and touch the grace in the room where Tanith and her
knight protector reside without losing access to Blackguard Big Boggart's questline as long as
you do not speak to Tanith or anyone else in the Manor.)

2. If you kill Rykard before speaking to Rya in her room inside the dungeon, she will disappear
from the manor and her quest will become impossible to complete.

RYA QUESTLINE: HOW TO COMPLETE

RYA'S QUEST
1. First meet her at Liurnia of the Lakes under the pavilion next to the Birdseye Telescope
north of Laskyar ruins. Exhausting her dialogue she will ask you to retrieve a necklace
from someone who stole it. [Map Link]
2. Head north west from the pavilion until you reach the Boilprawn Shack and its Site of
Grace.
3. Speak to the thief there, Blackguard Big Boggart, who will offer to sell Rya's Necklace
back to you for 1000 runes. Alternatively, you can kill him and it will drop.
1. NOTE: Killing Boggart here will lock you out of being able to complete his quest
later
4. Return the necklace to her and she will reward you with a Volcano Manor Invitation.She
will also tell you about the two main ways to reach Altus Plateau.
5. When reaching Altus Plateau, you can talk to Rya, and she will teleport you inside
Volcano Manor. Depending on which route you took to first reach the plateau, she can be
found at one of several locations:
1. the lower part of Lux Ruins, up the stairs from the Erdtree-Gazing Hill site of
grace, if you went through the Ruin-Strewn Precipice first
2. the top of Grand Lift of Dectus, to the left of the top of the stairs leaving the lift
platform, if you used the lift first
3. NOTE: If she does not appear at either of these locations, try teleporting to the
Grand Lift and riding it to the top again to trigger her spawn.
4. NOTE: You can reach Leyndell, Royal Capital through Fia's questline. If done so,
Rya won't appear at either of these locations.
6. After joining Volcano Manor and completing the first part of Tanith questline (i.e.,
assassination of Old Knight Istvan) she will move to a different room in the manor and
appear in her snake form. Speaking to her during her snake form will progress the
questline.
1. NOTE: If you do all contracts in the Volcano Manor, to the point where you get
ported to Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy from Tanith, she will no longer have
dialogue related to Rya and you will be unable to pursue her optional objectives
in this questline.
7. Complete the second part of Tanith questline: assassination of Rileigh the Idle
8. She will be in human form in the same room where she was seen in her snake form. she
complains about hearing noises in the adjacent room: a clue to the secret passage
therein. She asks you to investigate. To proceed in the questline, enter the illusory wall in
the room right of hers and reach the grace in Prison Town Church. [Map Link] Return to
Zorayas and tell her what you have seen to continue.
1. NOTE: You must open the doors leaving Prison Town Church to continue in the
questline.
9. (OPTIONAL) Speak to Lady Tanith and choose the "Zorayas' troubles" option.
10. Defeat Godskin Noble in the Temple of Eiglay [Map Link] to get the Serpent's Amnion.
11. Give the Serpent's Amnion to Zorayas and she will disappear from the manor once you
rest at the grace.
12. (OPTIONAL - But crucial, see step #13 below) Speaking to Lady Tanith will have the new
option "Zorayas' absence". She will give a Tonic of Forgetfulness to give to the upset
Zorayas.
1. If you have already completed all the assassination contracts, you will not be able
to get the Tonic till you defeat Rykard and have talked to her again. When she
leaves the manor, she will leave the Tonic on her chair.
13. Zorayas has moved to the Legacy Dungeon's interior, in a small room adjacent to a lava
pit filled with cages and skulls, just before a rope ladder. If you have fully unlocked the
area, you can reach it by taking the wooden elevator next to the Temple of Eiglay, getting
off at a hidden doorway just below the lift's highest point, and heading straight through
the room, out a window, and jump across a lava floe. She is inside the room directly
across.

1. If the elevator is not yet active, you can reach the lava floe (or unlock the
elevator) by jumping off the balcony of the top floor of Temple of Eiglay.
■ To clarify - take the lift within the Temple of Eiglay (SE of the grace) up
and go out through the door to reach the balcony. Jump down to the lava
pit with slugs that leads to a rocky bridge you need to jump off, and then
climb up the path afterwards. Hop across the lava to find a window on the
left, but be ready for the Iron Virgin waiting behind the corner. Once
inside there's a door to the right which leads to a bridge with a man-
 serpent - go passed him, the stairs, and then down the hall a bit to find a
ladder in one of the windows to your left. You will find Rya in a small
alcove at the bottom of it.
2. You can also reach this room by taking the wooden elevator to the top, going
straight ahead toward the man-serpent with the lava sword, and jumping out the
windows on the left.
■ To clarify - Turn NW from the Temple of Eiglay grace to find the door
which leads to the lift if you have access. Right before it reaches the top
there is a door leading to an open room with an enemy inside where you
will find a window to jump out of. Straight across is Rya's alcove.
14. In her new location, the player is given a choice between three actions:.
1. If you kill her, she will transform back into a snake and drop Daedicar's Woe.
2. If you leave her alive and return after killing Rykard, she will have new dialogue.
When you reset the area, she is gone and has left Daedicar's Woe and Zorayas'
Letter in her place.
3. If you give her the Tonic of Forgetfulness, she simply goes to sleep. After Rykard
is killed and the Manor's inhabitants have all left, she will return to her original
location in the Manor. Exhaust her dialogue and reload the area to find
Daedicar's Woe in her place.
15. If you get to Volcano Manor and complete her snake form questline before talking to
Blackguard Big Boggart, the necklace won't trigger anything, so there is no reason to kill
him for it(It is requested for his questline to buy it).
16. If you kill Rykard before speaking to Rya in her room inside the dungeon, it appears that
she will disappear from the manor.

DIALOGUE IN ELDEN RING: RYA

At Liurnia of the Lakes

● Hello.
It's rather chilly here, isn't it? My mistress sent me off on an errand...
But I was accosted by a ruffian, and now I'm in a bind. Could I ask you to lend a hand,
perhaps?
That thug made off with a precious necklace. I need someone to retrieve it.
Only... He, too, is Tarnished. If you've any qualms confronting your own, I shall find
another...
Hear the Request

● Ohh, thank you dearly. What a blessing that we've met like this.
The thug should be resting at an abandoned home down the way...
Please, I must have the necklace back.
Upon attacking / rolling / jumping

● Please, stop, Brave Tarnished.

You will only tire by striking this barrier.
Besides I'm no foe of yours. Please think this over.
● I see you've reconsidered. Thank goodness.
