Despite the greater accessibility compared to the previous Souls and the update to version 1.03 (thanks to which the NPCs appear marked on the map) the optional quests present in Elden Ring remain complex to deal with. In this regard, here’s how to complete the mission of poor Thops, the sorcerer who is seated in the Church of Irith.
After the Storm Storm castle (which we remember being an optional dungeon) the players will look out over Liurnia, the region on which the imposing Raya Lucaria stands. The building in question, the final destination of Thops and the home of Rennala, is nevertheless sealed and inaccessible to anyone who does not have at least one Stonestone Key.
Speaking of which, since there are two in the game and you will need both of them in your adventure, here’s where to find the Stonecutter Keys in Elden Ring. Once you have obtained the second key, you can finally deliver it to Thops who, after thanking you, will return to the Academy. At that point, to find the sorcerer and the loot of the quest, you will have to go outside the schoolroom, reachable using the huge water wheel of the complex.
In conclusion, we remind you that at the end of this quest, returning to the Church of Irith, you will find a tear beetle waiting for you, which will guarantee you a War Ash. Staying on the subject of character-related quests, do you want to know how to meet Blaidd in Elden Ring, in order to get his wolf armor?
