My Epic Journey Through Scholar's Remembrance Quest in Elden Ring Nightreign

I've just completed one of the most challenging and rewarding quests in Elden Ring Nightreign's new Forsaken Hollows DLC - Scholar's remembrance quest. This intricate storyline takes players through multiple chapters of increasingly difficult challenges, culminating in an epic confrontation that tests even veteran players' skills.

The quest structure revolves around collecting Memory Fragments through expeditions, with each chapter revealing more about Scholar's mysterious backstory. While Chapter 1 unlocks automatically when you first gain access to Scholar, the subsequent chapters require significant expedition gameplay to unlock.

Chapter 3: The First Major Challenge

When I reached Chapter 3, I discovered I needed to visit a specific outpost that appeared on my map. This special objective overwrote any active Shifted Earth events, ensuring I could focus on the remembrance quest without distractions.

Navigating the outpost proved tricky. I entered through the main entrance, dropped from the first ledge, and turned right to find an opening with a hole. After dropping into this opening, I discovered an open doorway containing my objective. Once collected, all I needed to do was complete the expedition and return to the Roundtable Hold.

Upon my return, Scholar heard a mysterious noise, and I received a notification directing me to the Chapel. There, I found Undertaker interacting with a shard of the Night - a foreboding sight. The sequence required me to:

1. Speak with Undertaker

2. Interact with the Iron Menial who inquired about the noise

3. Examine the journal page on the desk

4. Return to Undertaker and select "I have something I'd like to ask of you"

After exhausting all dialogue options, I completed this section and received Scholar's Chalice - a powerful relic that significantly enhanced my gameplay options.

Chapters 4 and 5: Venturing into the Great Hollow

After more expeditions to gather Memory Fragments, I unlocked Chapters 4 and 5. Chapter 5 presented a particularly fascinating challenge - a solo expedition into a section of the Great Hollow.

To begin this section, I spoke with the Small Jar outside the Chapel and selected "Ask to be shown to the Great Hollow." This transported me to a magnificent but partially accessible Cathedral filled with Glintstone Sorcerers that I needed to defeat carefully.

The Cathedral exploration followed this sequence:

• Ascend to the second floor via the main stairs

• Navigate through doorways behind a Sorcerer

• Climb the giant crystal to reach the third floor

• Take the exit on the right side

• Defeat the Sorcerers guarding the path

• Climb the chained crystal to reach the rafters

• Investigate a door in the collapsed wall

• Return to the rafters and proceed to the opposite end

The boss fight here was particularly challenging - three enemies sharing a single health bar. I found that using my Ultimate Art to link all three together was crucial, as it allowed me to chain damage between them, significantly reducing the fight duration.

After defeating them, I returned to the previously locked door, which had mysteriously opened. Interacting with the crystal containing a knight triggered a cutscene, after which I returned to Roundtable Hold and received the Cleansing Tear Relic - an item that proved essential in later encounters.

The Final Chapters: A Test of True Skill

The final sections of Scholar's remembrance quest (Chapters 6-8) represented the pinnacle of challenge in the DLC. Chapter 6 required more expedition completions, while Chapter 7 tasked me with defeating the formidable Balancers.

When I finally reached Chapter 8, I returned to the Chapel to speak with Undertaker once more. After exhausting all dialogue options, Scholar felt compelled to investigate something. I made my way to the character customization mirror and interacted with it, which triggered the final challenge - the Dreglord expedition.

This boss fight pushed my skills to their absolute limits. The Dreglord's attack patterns were unpredictable, and its damage output was tremendous. After numerous attempts and strategic adjustments, I finally emerged victorious.

Upon my return, I received the Headband of the Golden Ones and had one final conversation with Undertaker. The quest concluded at Scholar's research table in the Chapel corner, where he donned the Headband and rewarded me with his Remembrance outfit and the powerful "My Dear Successor" Relic.

Why This Quest Matters

Scholar's remembrance quest stands out as one of the most narratively rich and mechanically challenging experiences in Elden Ring Nightreign. The quest:

• Reveals crucial lore about the Night and its connections to the Great Hollow

• Provides three exceptional relics that can dramatically alter your playstyle

• Offers unique solo content in a game primarily focused on multiplayer expeditions

• Presents some of the most difficult boss encounters in the entire game

For anyone diving into The Forsaken Hollows DLC in 2025, I highly recommend prioritizing this questline. The rewards are substantial, and the storyline adds significant depth to the already rich world of Elden Ring Nightreign.

The journey through Scholar's memories was arduous but ultimately rewarding, providing not just powerful equipment but a deeper understanding of this enigmatic character and his connection to the greater mysteries of the Elden Ring universe. As challenging as it was, completing this remembrance quest has been one of my most satisfying gaming achievements of the year.

🔥 Pro Tips for Scholar's Remembrance Quest 🔥

• Stock up on healing items before attempting Chapter 5's three-boss fight

• Save your Ultimate Art for key boss encounters

• The Cleansing Tear Relic can negate certain status effects from the Dreglord
