Where to Find Warmaster Bernahl in Elden Ring

Elden Ring has finally received its large Shadow of the Erdtree expansion. New players must jump through a few hoops before they can reach the DLC. If you're starting a new playthrough, it's a good idea to brush up on some of the basics.

Warmaster Bernahl is a character you can meet early on in the base game. He will sell you Ashes of War. These are weapon techniques that can be used by consuming focus points. You can swap out these techniques and apply them to different weapons. Bernahl will move several times throughout the game. Here are all the places you can locate him in Elden Ring.

Limgrave

The first place you can encounter Bernahl is at the Warmaster's Shack in Limgrave. You may go there if you're following the graces on the way to Stormveil Castle. The shack is at the center of the Stormhill area. Head east from the Stormhill Shack where Roderika the Spirit Tuner is located. Speak to Bernahl and he will offer his wares to you.

Volcano Manor

Bernahl will move if you pledge your allegiance to Volcano Manor by finding it or getting an invitation from Raya in Liurnia. He'll be in the dining room down the hall from the main grace. His name will now be Recusant Bernahl. He'll give you a letter concerning the manor questline and continue to sell you Ashes of War. Return to him after you complete Volcano Manor requests for rewards.

Once you've defeated Rykard, he'll leave the manor. However, his sword will remain propped up on a chair in the dining room. You can still speak and spend runes to learn new skills. At this point, he will no longer be in the world through normal means.

Bernahl can then be summoned as an ally during the difficult Godskin Duo boss fight in Crumbling Farum Azula. Go up the staircase from the Dragon Temple Transept grace to find his summon sign before the Godskin Duo fog door.

Crumbling Farum Azula Invasion

Your last encounter with Bernahl will be as an invading enemy. Head up from the Beside the Great Bridge grace, then left to go down towards the Old Lord's Talisman chest.

Recusant Bernahl will invade while you're on the walkway to the chest. He has a large AOE attack that can be interrupted, so be patient and wait for openings. He will drop the Blasphemous Claw, Devourer's Scepter, and the Beast Champion armor set. You can still use Bernahl's sword as a merchant after defeating him.
