👑 How to Complete the Duchess’s Remembrance Questline – Elden Ring: Nightreign

“If you thought unlocking Duchess was cool, just wait until her Remembrance starts breaking your brain and boosting your stats.”


🧭 Prerequisite: Unlocking the Duchess Class

Before her Remembrance becomes available, you need to unlock the Duchess class:

  1. Complete the Tricephalos Expedition
  2. Defeat the Nightlord boss and obtain the “Old Pocketwatch”
  3. Return to Roundtable Hold and give the pocketwatch to the Priestess

Once this is done, the Duchess becomes selectable, and her Remembrance questline becomes accessible in the journal room of the Hold.

🧠 Final Tips from a Guide Junkie

  • Don’t rush it. Each chapter unlocks with time and progress
  • Keep checking the journal shelf in Roundtable Hold—new chapters don’t announce themselves
  • Always talk to Wylder after major fights. He’s more involved than he looks

“Some Remembrances offer power. The Duchess offers perspective.”
