There are no real downsides to Volcano Manor as far as the Elden Ring story is concerned. The fiery decor is unnerving, but there are some cool extra content and unique armor sets to be had. But if you decide to skip the quest, you’ll miss out on some cool extra content, so it’s best to play through it at least once before moving on to the next quest.

Getting to Volcano Manor

Getting to Volcano Manor is a very difficult task. There are two main paths to the Elder Ring, the first being the short and direct way, and the other involving a long journey. Getting to Volcano Manor requires collecting two medallion halves and exploring the vast terrain of Mt. Gelmir. In either case, you’ll need to beat the Abductor Virgin and a second path is required to obtain the Bloody Finger, which is obtained by defeating the White Mask Varre.

Once you’ve completed the previous quests, the alternate route will take you directly into Volcano Manor’s main hall. However, the waterfall you must cross is non-lethal, but will drain half your health. It’s recommended to heal any lava damage before continuing on. You’ll have to travel past the Blackflame Monk and Godskin Noble before completing the quest. Once you’re inside, you can open the door to the Volcano Manor’s main hall.

Getting to Rykard Lord of Blasphemy

The first step in getting to Rykard is to complete a quest from Tanith, who is a member of the Recusants. To join the Recusants, you must find three Tarnished NPC contracts and progress through the Mountaintops of the Giants. Once you have completed these contracts, you will need to return to Volcano Manor to confront Rykard.

First, go to Volcano Manor and talk to Tanith. This character will ask if you want to visit Rykard. If you agree, he will teleport you outside of the fog gate to the Rykard. Afterwards, complete the contracts, and you will be rewarded with 130,000 Runes, the Rememberance of the Blasphemous, and the Rykard Great Rune.

There are two ways to get to the Rykard Lord of Blasphem when joining volcano manor. One method is to obtain blasphemy from the Reaper’s Lair and use the Recusant’s Tarot card to defeat Rykard. The other method is to get to Volcano Manor, located in the northern part of the Altus Plateau. There, you will find the Tarnished Recusants. You can also use an Abductor Virgin to get to Volcano Manor.
