Witch-Hunter Jerren Questline: How to complete Witch-Hunter Jerren's Quest

In order to proceed with these quests that involve Sorceress Sellen, Starscourge Radahn must be defeated. You can then find Jerren seated at Redmane Castle, north of the Chamber Outside the Plaza Site of Grace.

Map Link

If he is not at Redmane Castle, he is likely already at his second location in Witchbane Ruins. Speak to him then you can find him next where you previously found the chained Sorceress Sellen in Witchbane Ruins.

If you still cannot locate Jerren in the Witchbane Ruins, you may need to further progress in the Sorceress Sellen questline. At this point you will probably need to bring Sellen's stone to the puppet body in Seluvis' secret basement by the three sister towers in north Liurnia before he will appear with Sellen's body in this location.

The next encounter should be at the Raya Lucaria Academy Library. Map Link You will be given a choice to side with Sellen or Jerren. If you choose to side with Jerren, you will be engaging in combat alongside him against Sellen.

Siding with Sellen

If you side with Sellen and defeat Jerren, his armor set, Eccentric Set is obtained. This includes the Eccentric's Hood, Eccentric's Armor, Eccentric's Manchettes, and Eccentric's Breeches. You can also gain the Glintstone Kris from Sellen as a reward and gain access to Shard Spiral for purchase.

Siding with Jerren

Choose to side with Jerren and you will obtain Sellen's Bell Bearing, and Witch's Glintstone Crown upon the defeat of Sellen. He will also reward you with an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone after speaking with him. You will find him where his summon sign was outside the Grand Library Site of Grace.

Dialogue in Elden Ring: Witch-Hunter Jerren

Introduction before the festival^§

• Oh, Tarnished, are you? How did you slip inside, with the gate closed? Hmph. No matter. If you can fell one of them, you're a champion, in my book. I am Jerren. Foolish old warrior, and witness. Incidentally, do you like a good festival, from time to time? Well, it's true, this fortress houses only the vanquished. But when the stars align, we celebrate. A war festival honoring the last battle and death of General Radahn, the mightiest demigod of the Shattering, and bearer of a Great Rune.
• [I'm not the festive type] Well, you're not much fun, are you, chum? No matter. One day you will see. That true warriors bask in glory at the festival.
• [About Iji] Well, I haven't heard that name in an age. Then you must serve Princess Ranni? The next time you speak to Iji, tell him this: The festival of Radahn will surely set Ranni's fate into motion. By the by... Is that old fool still hammering out weapons? His enormous frame, cramped in that little place... Bit of a haughty sort. Strange fella, when I knew him. And funny thing, his swords were all blunt as stone. But not one of them decayed when faced with the scarlet rot...
• Go on, now. This old geezer hasn't any use for you just yet.

Festival proclamation

• Champions, welcome! The stars have aligned! The festival is nigh! General Radahn, mightiest demigod of the Shattering, awaits you!
• Champions, prepare for battle! Defeat the General, claim glory, and grab that Great Rune! A celebration of war! The Radahn Festival!
• Are you good and prepared, young chum? The festival begins!
• I see... when you are ready, come to me again.
• Before we begin, allow me to pain you the full picture. General Radahn is cursed ever to wander. Eaten from the inside, by Malenia's scarlet rot, his wits are long gone. Now he gathers the corpses of former friends and foes alike, gorging on them, like a dog. Howling at the sky.
• But now, we must make merry. O gathering of champions, the revels begin! The celebration of war! The Radahn Festival!
• You will find the field of battle past the church ahead, upon the shore under the fort. General Radahn is there, even now. Divested of his wits, devouring corpses... and howling at the sky...

^§After the festival

• At last, the war festival has ended. Brave champion you have our gratitude. The Celebration was spectacular. General Radahn is surely pleased. Festering with rot, and crippled by madness, all he wanted was an honorable death.
• Finally, my work is done. I am no longer bound to this fortress. I have a task in mind. Old business you could say. You wouldn't understand. May we meet again if the fates deign it, brave champion.

Small Talk (Witchbane Ruins)

• Ah, well met. I hardly expected to see the champion of the festival here of all places. You didn't ... know Sellen did you? Well, whatever the case, she's dead now. Just put it behind you. She was known as the Graven Witch. Obsessed by the primeval current, countless sorcerers fell to her hands. The most dangerous mage in the entire history of Raya Lucaria's Academy.
• It is strange through. The woman, she was like a husk, her soul already fled. I suspect Sellen lives on, elsewhere. I'm sure she'll turn up eventually, in another body. A sickening thought, but one that won't stop gnawing at me.

Siding with Jerren, during Sorceress Sellen invasion

• Sellen, Graven Witch, enemy of Caria. 'I vow this time to crush both your frame and your primal glintstone. 'I am Jerren, bringer of your death. Do not forget.

Final

• My thanks, for the aid given. I heard from Iji that Lady Ranni might have found herself a champion. But I didn't know he was talking about you. You've helped me fulfil an old promise. This is the least I can do for you. Please, take it.
  [Hands you x1 Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone]
• Well, I must be leaving now. Brave warrior, if the fates deign it.. No, we shall indeed meet again, at the next glorious tourney.
• Well, I must be leaving now. If the fates deign it, may we meet again, Tarnished.

^§When attacked

• Ugh! What's the matter with you? You trying to get revenge?
• (Combat) Very well. If the Graven Witch put you under her spell, you must be eliminated...
• (On player kill) Rest now. Alongside the witch's corpse.
• (On death) You...are a menace... Iji...beware...
