One of the most beautiful areas inElden Ringis the massive Liurnia of the Lakes section located north of Limgrave, and one of the greatest hidden gems in Liurnia is the small town of Jarburg where the NPC named Jar Bairn can be found.
In contrast to many of the frightening creatures that can be found in The Lands Between, Jar Bairn is positively adorable, and speaking to them can be a welcome rest to theevil lobsters and sorcerers that populate Liurnia. To complete this quest, the Tarnished will need to complete the questlines of Diallos and Iron Fist Alexander. So, to save time, the Tarnished will ideally need to be doing these quests at the same time.

Reach Jarburg
Jar Bairn is located in thesmall village of Jarburg, which is a place that can be very easily overlooked because there is no simple way to reach it. The closest Site of Grace to Jarburg is the Artist’s shack near the Carian Study Hall. From here, the Tarnished can jump down the nearest cliff using stone platforms that will be right above Jarburg.
Speak to Jar Bairn After Starting Alexander’s Quest
The next part of Jar Bairn’s quest involves the Tarnished startingAlexander Iron Fist’s quest; he can be found north of the Agheel Lake North Site of Grace in Stormhill. Once the Tarnished has spoken to him, they can travel back to Jarburg and continue to speak to Jar Bairn until they have exhausted all the new dialogue (this will be when they speak about poachers).
Speak to Diallos in Jarburg
Progressing to the next part in Jar Bairn’s quest will come in the mid-late game because it will require the Tarnished toreach Volcano Manor on the Altus Plateau. In the Volcano Manor, the player needs to progress Diallos’s questline until he leaves the manor. Alternatively, Diallos will also leave the manor after Praetor Rykard has been defeated.
After doing this, he will relocate to Jarburg where he can be spoken to in one of the houses a short distance from where Jar Bairn is. The player can then speak to both NPCs until they have exhausted their dialogue.
Return to Jarburg After Reaching The Mountaintop of Giants
The final phase of Jar Bairn’s quest will initiate once the player has reached one of the final areas of the game:The Mountaintop of Giants. After reaching this area, the Tarnished can return to Jarburg where they will find many of the wholesome Jars smashed.
Give Iron Fist Alexander’s Insides to Jar Bairn
This final step requires the Tarnished to finish Iron Fist Alexander’s quest, which can be accomplishedin Crumbling Farum Azula.Once the player has done this, they can return one final time to Jarburg, where they can speak to Jar Bairn.
Jar Bairn will happily accept his uncle’s Insides and will say that they are headed out on a journey to follow in Alexander’s footsteps to become a warrior and hopefully a champion. Unfortunately, they also say that once they leave Jarburg, players likely won’t see them again because a warrior’s path is one they have to take by themselves.
As expected, once you reload the area for the final time using the Site of Grace, Jar Bairn will be gone, and in his place will be an item called Companion Jar, a Talisman that can be equipped to increase the damage to all thrown pots. Once the Tarnished has picked up this item, the quest will be complete.
Elden Ringis available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
