Like previous FromSoftware titles, Elden Ring is full of unique NPCs. These characters are usually connected to a bigger story alongside a story of their own. Show One such character is War Counselor Iji, a giant blacksmith. He is a friendly NPC and will help you with upgrading your weapon. You can also purchase upgrading items from Iji for Runes. One of the most important side quests in Elden Ring is that of Ranni The Witch. This questline ultimately triggers an alternate ending to the game where the player character marries Ranni and triggers the ‘Age of Stars’ Ending. Iji is a part of Ranni’s questline. In this guide, we will cover all there is to know about Iji and what becomes of him later in the game. Iji Location Iji is located in Liurnia of the Lakes. To get to Iji’s location, players have to get to the Northern Liurnia Lake Shore site of grace. From there, follow the grace light and head straight until you come across the ‘Kingsrealm Ruins’. Head into the ruins and head straight until you read the northmost wall. This wall is an illusory wall, striking it will reveal a road and ‘Road to the Manor’ Site of Grace. To the left of this Site of Grace resides War Counselor Iji. Who Killed Iji?Iji was killed by Black Knife assassins for betraying the Golden Order. It is implied that the Two Fingers ordered the assassination of Iji. Basically, War Counselor Iji was in service of Ranni The Witch. This information is given to the player upon their first encounter with Ranni. Progressing through Ranni’s questline reveals that Ranni’s goal is to betray the Golden Order and to begin a new era in The Lands Between. Later down the questline, it is revealed to us by Iji that Blaidd (another servant of Ranni) has been put in his position by the Two Fingers under orders to kill Ranni if she ever chooses to betray the golden order. Ultimately, Blaidd realizes this and goes mad. It is then your job to kill Blaidd outside Ranni’s rise. When Iji is notified of Blaidd’s death he will tell you that he believes his time is also up. Resting at a Site of Grace will then reveal Iji’s dead body covered in black flame, his helmet off, and the bodies of three dead Black Knife assassins next to his corpse. Two conclusions can be made from this:
Can You Save Iji In Elden Ring?Yes, there is a way to save Iji in Elden Ring. This way, however, does not complete Iji’s quest. Concluding Iji’s quest will always result in his death. To save Iji in Elden Ring, players should not inform him of Blaidd’s death. It is after you tell Iji what became of Blaidd that he passes. Informing Iji of Blaidd’s death is the last part of Iji’s quest so players who refuse to do so will be leaving the quest unfinished. Therefore, you have a choice between completing the quest or letting Iji live. Iji’s death gives players his bell bearing. Letting him live will mean players get to have him as a blacksmith. Why Does Iji Imprison Blaidd?Iji imprisons Blaidd after he goes mad. As mentioned Earlier, Blaidd goes mad upon realizing that he has been ordered by the Two Fingers to kill Ranni in case she betrays the Golden Order. Blaidd fighting the urges to kill Ranni is what drives him insane. Iji Imprisons Blaidd for his own safety. He knows that Blaidd is a threat to Ranni and hence imprisons him for he could not kill him. Blaidd is imprisoned in the Evergoal players kill Darriwil in. In Ranni’s questline, players will eventually free Blaidd from his imprisonment. What Happens If You Hit Iji?If you hit Iji, he vanishes indefinitely. The only way to get Iji back is to go to the Church of vows and atone for your sins. Atoning will bring Iji back to his location. This action requires 1 celestial dew. Is Iji A Main Character In Elden Ring?Despite Iji’s significance to Ranni’s questline, Iji is still a side quest character that is significant only if players choose to do the questline and go for the Age of Stars ending. This means that you can beat Elden Ring without even interacting with Iji once.

What happened to War Counselor Iji?After completing Blaidd's quest and defeating him, talking to War Counselor Iji with the "Blaidd's Death" option will result in dialogue where he discusses Blaidd and his death, stating that he will "follow [Blaidd] soon". After leaving the area and returning, the player will find Iji dead and covered in black flame.
Was Iji killed?In the default ending, Iji spares Tor. Recognizing her will to survive, Tor orders the Komato fleet to cancel the Alpha Strike and evacuate Earth, telling Iji that he is giving her planet a chance to survive; afterwards he commits suicide.
Why did Iji die Reddit?Iji was afraid. Terrified of his own treachery. By removing his helm, Iji alerted himself to hostile outside forces and was killed. As Iji will only do this after you tell him about Blaidd's death, it's heavily implied he effectively committed suicide through his removal of the helmet.
Should I tell Iji about Blaidd?Even after you defeat Blaidd, the option "About Blaidd'' will appear in Master Iji's interaction tab. If players choose to inform Master Iji about Blaidd's death, then he will perish as well. If you want to keep him alive to access his shop frequently, then don't tell him about Blaidd's death.
