Brother Corhyn

聖職者コリン (Seishokusha Korin)

**Brother Corhyn** is an NPC in *Elden Ring*. He can be given prayerbooks in exchange for access to an array of Incantations.

## Overview

Brother Corhyn is a cleric of the Golden Order. At some point, Corhyn made his way to Roundtable Hold, where he teaches the incantations of the Two Fingers to Tarnished of the Roundtable, hoping that one of them might one day claim the title of Elden Lord, so that Corhyn might council them. When a Tarnished champion makes their way to the Roundtable, Corhyn introduces himself to them, and offers his tutelage. Corhyn will even teach the champion heretical incantations, from outside the line of the Erdtree, though he does so reluctantly.

After the Tarnished champion opens the way to the Altus Plateau, Corhyn announces that he is departing the Roundtable to search for the legendary Goldmask, an eminent scholar of the Golden Order. While searching for Goldmask, Corhyn continues his own investigations into the nature of the Golden Order, and while he makes some advancements, he also becomes aware of how little he truly knows. With guidance from the Tarnished champion, Corhyn is united with Goldmask.

Corhyn takes it upon himself to become Goldmask's disciple and to chronicle his wisdom, deciphering the meaning behind every minute movement made by the mute Goldmask. The process goes well, until Goldmask's movements suddenly cease, as he is confounded by the nature of Radagon. The Tarnished champion may solve the riddle, revealing to Goldmask that Radagon and Queen Marika the Eternal are in fact one and the same, allowing Corhyn to continue his work.

Goldmask leads his disciple to the Forbidden Lands and the Mountaintops of the Giants, where none may tread. Corhyn continues his duty, but begins to doubt his master. He detects in his movements that Goldmask has begun to suspect the holism of the Golden Order, an unacceptable heresy in Corhyn's mind. Corhyn continues to serve his master, but is tormented by doubt.

After the Tarnished champion unleashes the flame of the giants to burn the Erdtree, Corhyn is found in the ashen ruins of Leyndell, Royal Capital. Corhyn denounces his master as nothing more than a madman, who rejected the perfection of the Golden Order and sought to replace it with his own "perfected" order. As the Erdtree burns above him, Corhyn loses his mind. Alternatively, Corhyn may be offered the Tonic of Forgetfulness, causing him to remain in the Mountaintops, seemingly unaware that Goldmask has returned to Leyndell.

## Notes

* Corhyn will refuse to take the Tonic of Forgetfulness if offered to him and it will remain in your inventory. Despite this, the act of offering it to him will influence the outcome of his questline. This choice will not affect the outcome of Goldmask's questline, however.
