The Elden Ring Rya quest is a long, dark quest into the twisted depths of the Volcano Manor and one of the Lands Between’s demigods. Your reward, aside from a hefty helping of lore, is a talisman that acts as a “hard mode” of sorts by increasing the damage you take. As with most quests in Elden Ring, though, completing this one takes a long time and a fair deal of patience.

How to start Rya’s quest in Elden Ring: Rya’s location

Rya’s quest begins east of the Scenic Isle Site of Grace in Liurnia. She’s in the stone gazebo near the telescope marker on the map and asks for your help recovering a stolen necklace. Agree to help her look for it, and she’ll tell you where to look in vague terms.

Elden Ring Rya Necklace Location

The house she said the thief retreated to is also nearby. It’s Boilprawn Shack, northwest of Rya’s starting location and north of the Scenic Isle Grace. The thief is sitting near a campfire and will either give you the necklace for 1,000 Runes or drop it when you kill him. Whatever your choice, take it back to Rya. She’ll thank you and hand over an invitation to Volcano Manor. This is the last you’ll see of her for a while.
