While those starting their Elden Ring adventure after the 1.03 update may be able to follow Jar-Bairn’s questline easily enough, anyone trying to complete the quest near the end of the game (or after they’ve made significant process elsewhere) may be confused by the ways this quest ties into other NPC questlines. For that matter, anyone who hasn’t been going out of their way to complete Elden Ring‘s questlines and connect the game’s lore dots will probably also struggle to complete some of this new NPC’s odd requests. Regardless of where you are in the game, here’s how you can find Jar-Bairn in Elden Ring and complete his worthwhile questline.
Elden Ring: Where to Find the Jar-Bairn NPC
Jar-Bairn can be found in Jarburg: an appropriately named village filled with living jars. Here is where you can find that village on the map: As you’re walking through Jarburg, you should soon encounter a small jar sitting atop some stone steps outside of an abandoned house. While you may be tempted to attack that character due to the fact that they resemble some of the smaller jar enemies you’ll encounter throughout Elden Ring, that is actually a “child jar” known as Jar-Bairn. So, while you can try to attack him if you’re some kind of monster, you’re probably better off interacting with him so that you can complete his questline. Speaking of which…
Elden Ring: How to Complete the Jar-Bairn Questline
Jar-Bairn’s questline is…odd. It’s closely tied to two other Elden Ring questlines, which has only strengthened the already popular argument that the Jar-Bairn quest must have accidentally been excluded from the game or was simply not ready yet. Regardless, you will need to complete both Jar Alexander and Diallos’ quests before you can complete Jar-Bairn’s quest. It seems like you’re able to technically begin Jar-Bairn’s quest before you finish those questlines, but you will not be able to complete it. If you need help with the Jar Alexander quest, this guide should point you in the right direction. If you can’t figure out how to complete Diallos’ questline, this guide should help. That should conclude this surprisingly sad questline. Interestingly, this quest also confirms that Alexander’s Insides are not related to one of Elden Ring‘s rumored secret endings and instead allow you to complete this previously missing questline.
