Looking to consummate the Elden Ring Kenneth Haight quest? You can find this loud-mouthed noble of Limgrave early on in the game, just as with many Elden Band quests (opens in new tab), the steps required to actually finish his story are a little more elaborate. For a long time Kenneth Haight's quest didn't fifty-fifty have a determination, only information technology was added in a patch not long after launch.

The quest itself is pretty short, and y'all can go the bulk of it done before you leave the starting area. There are a few prerequisites to consummate information technology though, and you lot'll demand to progress almost to the cease of the game to run across its conclusion and get the reward. Hither's how to complete the Kenneth Haight quest in Elden Band, and where to find him.

Sarah's earliest gaming memories involve playing Jet Set Willy on the ZX Spectrum at a friend's house. These days, and when not writing guides, about of her spare time goes into MMOs—though she's quite partial to JRPGs besides. She has spent much of the terminal decade playing the likes of Star Wars: The Former Republic, TERA, Final Fantasy fourteen, and World of Warcraft. Sarah has been writing about games for several years and, before joining PC Gamer, freelanced for the likes of TechRadar, GamingBible, and Rock Paper Shotgun. One of her fondest hopes is to one day play through the catastrophe of Final Fantasy X without breaking downwards into a sobbing heap. She probably has more wolves in Valheim than you.
