This guide will help you know how to get and complete the quest of Gostoc in Elden Ring.
Guide to Get Gostoc Questline in Elden Ring
Gostoc is the gatekeeper of Stormville Castle, and finally, players will get rewards by saving Gostoc. So, it’s now worth it. To proceed through his quest, first kill Margit, the Fell Omen and go to Stormveil Castle. You’ll find Gostoc inside the room, beside the castle’s main gate. Gostoc will show you to go through the side path and proceed normally until you find Godrick, the Grafted. After you defeat Godrick, you need to complete two more quests- Kenneth Height’s Questline and Give Stormhawk King to Nepheli.
If you don’t want to complete these two quests, there is no point in saving Gostoc. You can kill him and get his Bell-bearing. Gostoc steals runes every time you die inside the castle. So, you can simply kill him. But if you want to get some bigger rewards, complete the two quests mentioned above, and defeat Morgott. Once you have done, all three NPCs move to Godrick’s throne near the Site of Grace.
There you’ll find Gostoc as a merchant who has valuable things to sell. You can purchase an Ancient Smithing Stone from him for 20000 runes. Though it’s pretty difficult not to kill Gostoc, you’ll get a valuable reward that’s worth your effort if you don’t kill him.
That’s all you need to know about how to get and complete Gostoc’s questline in Elden Ring. If you are not sure if you should spare Gostoc or not in Elden Ring, check out our guide for help.
