Let me tell you, fellow Tarnished – after seeing the Lands Between in utter chaos, I knew I had to bring some balance back to this mess. That's when I stumbled upon the path to the Age of Order ending. Buckle up, because this quest with Brother Corhyn and that silent genius Goldmask? It's a wild ride full of divine revelations and enough faith crises to make a stone statue weep. I'll walk you through every step just like I lived it.
First things first – you gotta chat up Brother Corhyn at the Roundtable Hold. Yeah, that stern-looking monk guy near the fireplace. Exhaust all his dialogue options; he'll ramble about seeking enlightenment. Then, just go about your business slaying demigods for a while. When you pop back to the Hold later? Surprise! Corhyn's packed his bags, mumbling about chasing some legendary scholar named Goldmask. Off he goes into the wilds!
🔍 Tracking Down Corhyn in Altus Plateau
-
Head to Altus Highway Junction Site of Grace after reaching the golden fields
-
Spot Corhyn pacing near the broken column north of the grace
-
Ask him about Goldmask – he'll sigh dramatically about his failed search
🧘 Finding the Mysterious Goldmask
Now here's the kicker – while Corhyn's scratching his head, Goldmask's literally right there being all zen! Cross the massive collapsed bridge north of Corhyn's spot. You'll see him meditating, staring at the Erdtree like it holds the universe's secrets (turns out, it kinda does). Dude won't say a word, but interact anyway. Then:
-
Run back to Corhyn: "Hey, your golden boy's across the bridge!"
-
Return to Goldmask's spot – now both holy men are chilling together
-
Chat with Corhyn again about Goldmask's... intense silence
📜 Snagging the Golden Order Principia
Time for some rooftop parkour in Leyndell! From the Erdtree Sanctuary Site of Grace:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Exit room & climb giant branch upwards |
| 2 | Traverse rooftops → jump through window past chest |
| 3 | Follow branches → spot glowing book hanging from ceiling |
Grab that Golden Order Principia – feels like holding pure heresy!
📖 Delivering the Tome & Learning the Truth
Find Corhyn and Goldmask near the West Capitol Rampart (see pic above). Hand Corhyn the Principia. He freaks out, then teaches you Law of Regression – a spell that purges illusions. "What in Marika's name do I need this for?" I thought. Oh, sweet summer Tarnished...
✨ Using Law of Regression on Radagon's Statue
Back to Erdtree Sanctuary! Descend the lift near the exit. See that suspicious message? "Regression alone reveals the secret." Cast Law of Regression before Radagon's statue. BOOM – statue transforms, revealing: "Radagon is Marika." My jaw hit the floor. This changes EVERYTHING! Rush back to tell Corhyn. Poor guy nearly faints.
❄️ Meeting at Mountaintops of the Giants
After they've had their existential meltdowns, find both priests freezing their robes off atop the bridge above Stargazer Ruins. Goldmask's still silent, but Corhyn? He's babbling about shattered beliefs. Honestly felt bad for the guy – faith's a fragile thing.

💫 Claiming the Mending Rune
Once Leyndell becomes the Ashen Capital (you'll know when ash rains like snow), head to where Goldmask last stood. There he lies... motionless. From his body, take the Mending Rune of Perfect Order. Felt heavier than it looked, let me tell ya.
👑 The Final Choice
Beat the final boss (no spoilers, but whew what a fight!). Approach the fractured statue. Instead of mending it normally? Select "Use Mending Rune of Perfect Order." Suddenly, gold light washes over everything – no more chaos, no more corruption. Just... perfect, serene order. After all that struggle? Worth every step.
So there you have it – my path to Elden Ring's most enlightened ending. Took patience, parkour, and peeling back divine lies... but seeing that golden Erdtree shine without a flaw? Pure magic. What're you waiting for? Go fix this broken world!
