Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree – Moore Full Quest Guide

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree - Moore Full Quest Guide

As a seasoned Elden Ring adventurer with countless hours spent traversing its treacherous lands and uncovering its deepest secrets, I have come across many enigmatic characters that have left indelible marks on my journey. Among them, Moore, the Forager Brood Cook, stands out as one of the most intriguing.


Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC’s Moore’s questline is one of the most tricky ones in the game, as it requires players to make some crucial decisions. The choices players make during this quest can have far-reaching consequences, so it is pivotal that players are well aware of what each decision leads to before taking any decision.

In contrast to the original version, important Non-Player Characters (NPCs) are encountered by players early in the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion for Elden Ring. Each of these NPCs presents unique questlines that award exclusive items based on the choices made by the player. Here’s a detailed look at the Moore questline within the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.

Where To Find Moore In Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC

In simpler terms, Moore can be found not far from where players enter the Land of Shadows. He is situated outside Belurat, which is in the northwest region of the map, near the Tower Settlement. Players who have previously defeated Divine Beast Dancing Lion will have already encountered Moore, as he’s close to the Main Gate Cross Site of Grace. Keep in mind that destroying Miquella’s charm won’t impact this quest, but the subsequent dialogue choices may affect both Moore’s and Thiollier’s related quests.

After meeting Moore, players should next search for Thiollier, who is located close to the Pillar Path Cross Site of Grace. Upon interacting with Thiollier, players can then return to Moore to obtain the Black Syrup. This essential item is crucial for advancing in Thiollier’s storyline. Once players have both the Black Syrup and Forager Brood Cookbooks, they may select any dialogue option when speaking with Moore again.

How To Find Forager Brood Cookbooks & Pests

In the Land of Shadows, there are seven unique Forager Brood Cookbooks distributed throughout the area. Six of these cookbooks are handed out by various Forager Brood pests. However, the seventh and final cookbook is personally given by Moore. Among the six Forager Brood pests, the one situated near the Church of Crusade behaves differently. Players cannot acquire this cookbook through regular interaction. Instead, they must use a Warming Stone or Sunwarmth Stone to rouse the Forager Brood pest and then return to a Site of Grace for the cookbook to appear. Additionally, obtaining the seventh cookbook is linked to having the fourth one; once players obtain the fourth cookbook from Moore, they can go back and claim the seventh one from him as well.

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent exploring intricate game worlds, I can’t stress enough the importance of paying close attention to every detail in the game. One such detail that stands out is the encounter with Moore, a seemingly harmless pest infested NPC.

Which Dialogue Option Should You Choose For Moore?

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree - Moore Full Quest Guide

Following your initial encounter, you’ll gain access to additional conversation choices by shattering Miquella’s talisman in the Shadow Keep. This action will be taken care of automatically upon visiting this location. Once back at Moore’s location, he will present you with three distinct options. It is important to remember that players should remain undecided and opt for “I don’t know” until they have all required items. Only then can a choice be made confidently. For optimal results, it is suggested that players choose “Remain sad forever,” as this prevents Moore from joining Leda and her allies. If the alternative option, “Put it Behind You,” is selected, the ensuing boss battle with Leda and her companions will prove challenging due to the formidable nature of Moore’s armor.

Dialogue Option Consequence
Put it behind you You will be able to fight Moore at Enir Ilim along with Leda and her allies. Verdigris Set will be available after defeating all of Leda and her allies. Also, players will not be able to get the Forager Brood Cookbooks or Black Syrup if they choose this.
Remain sad forever Moore will die automatically and his body will be found near the Church of Crusade, where players can loot the Verdigris Set. This choice will also prevent the users from getting the Forager Brood Cookbooks or Black Syrup.
I don’t know No decision is made and players can return at a later point and choose any of the three options once again.
