Executor’s Remembrance quests in Elden Ring Nightreign shine a light on one of the game’s more mysterious characters. On top of providing you with great relics, these quests offer more context to Executor, the other Nightfarers, and Limveld as a whole. Completing the Executor Remembrance quest consists of gardening and self-reflection (only partly joking), but luckily, does not require beating the final Nightlord.
Here’s our Executor Remembrance quest walkthrough for Elden Ring Nightreign, explaining how to start Executor’s Remembrance quest and how to complete each task along the way.
How to start Executor’s Remembrance Quest

Executor’s Remembrance quest begins in his journal’s second chapter. Unlocking a chapter in a specific character’s journal requires you to play expeditions as that character until it unlocks.
In our experience, this chapter unlocks after completing two or three expeditions as Executor. No matter the outcome, the expedition will count as long as you don’t leave it before its conclusion. That includes solo or multiplayer runs. The chapter will unlock eventually.
When checking Executioner’s journal after an expedition, if you can access Chapter 2, you should see the “begin Remembrance” button that, upon selection, will lock you into the first Remembrance quest for Executioner. It’s important to remember that you can postpone and return to the Remembrance quest at any time without penalty. If you start a quest that requires an expedition objective, you have to complete that objective with that character.
If you team up with someone else who’s also working through a Remembrance quest, there’s a chance your objective won’t be the one that shows up on the map in your next expedition. It might be worth prioritizing a full party run or a solo run to ensure your objective is chosen.
Chapter 2: Pick flowers in Limveld

Speak with the Guardian who’s looking at a painting nearby in the Journal room. After exhausting his dialogue, you’ll want to find Priestess (also known as Duchess) and exhaust her dialogue as well. If you are having any trouble finding them or any NPC you need to speak with, opening the Roundtable Hold map should reveal their locations, indicated by an exclamation point. Exhausting her dialogue will grant you the personal objective: Find flowers in Limveld
In your next expedition, check your map for a red quest icon. It will point out where you can find the Blessed flowers you’re looking for. Upon arrival, you will find a glowing patch of flowers; however, before you can pick them, you must defeat the Stray Bloodhound Knight. This fight is manageable at low levels, but if your parries aren’t accurate, we recommend focusing on it at the start of the second day.

After defeating the boss, you can inspect the glowing flowers to obtain the Blessed Flowers. Once acquired, you must finish the run. If you play solo and think it’s okay to just quit out of the expedition, you will have to do the objective again. It doesn’t matter how the expedition ends; you must ensure that you complete it correctly.
Once you make it back to the Roundtable hold, talk to the Priestess again and exhaust her dialogue. Afterwards, you can find the Iron Menial, give him the blessed flowers, and then exhaust his dialogue. After talking with the Iron Menial, nearby is a canvas that you can interact with for a short cutscene before concluding the Remembrance quest.
Completing the Remembrance quest grants you Blessed Flowers as a relic that grants Executor a boost to dexterity as well as lifesteal when you unlock the use of the cursed sword while your Character skill is active.
Chapter 6: Find the golden sprout

After completing more expeditions and acquiring more memory fragments, you’ll be able to begin Executor’s Chapter 6 Remembrance.
This chapter is similar to the previous one, as it requires you to exhaust the dialogue of the Priestess in the main room of the Roundtable Hold. Hearing her out will unlock your next Personal Objective, “Find a golden sprout in Limveld.” This objective requires the “Shifting Earth: Mountain” event to be active. You can change the active event by playing expeditions or sleeping in your bed in the Roundtable Hold.

Once you’ve started an expedition with Executor and the “Shifting Earth: Mountain” event is active, you’ll be able to see the marked spots on the map. Navigating to both of these spots, if able, will allow you to complete this chapter of the quest as well as gain a boon that halves frostbite damage and frost buildup.
Only the light red marker is required for the objective and will lead you to the golden tree pictured above. Upon arrival, you’ll be face-to-face with an Erdtree Avatar, a common enemy for fans of the original Elden Ring. Defeating it should not give you any trouble, especially if you head to this destination during day two. Once you do, you’ll be able to interact with the tree and acquire the Golden Sprout.
Once you have the Golden Sprout, you have to complete the run (win or fail) to proceed to the final objective in Executor’s Remembrance quest.
Final Objective: Defeat Executor’s Cry

Back at the Roundtable Hold, you must exhaust the Priestess’ dialogue again to be transported to your next destination and the final obstacle in Executor’s story.
After a few short cutscenes, you’ll be tasked with defeating Executor’s Cry, a direct clone and copy of Executor with the same moveset. This boss fight is unique as it’s the only one in the game that requires you to make use of Executor’s parry mechanics. If you try to fight him normally, he’ll parry your attacks and counter with his weapon art. So the proper strategy here is to do the same to him. He almost always attacks with a five-hit combo, so take some time to get used to parrying these attacks and then immediately using your weapon art to damage him.
After you put Executor’s Cry down for good, you’re rewarded with more cutscenes and lore about Executor. Once you make it back to the Roundtable, talk to Priestess one last time, and then once you conclude the Remembrance through the glowing strand, you’ll be rewarded with Executor’s Remembrance Outfit and the Golden Sprout Relic.
The Golden Sprout Relic offers the following effects:
- [Executor] Roaring restores HP while Art is active
- HP Recovery from successful guarding
- Slowly restore HP for self and nearby allies when HP is low
