Elden Ring: Deathroot Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide

In Elden Ring, a Deathroot is the physical residue of the Rune of Death’s corruption, serving as the currency for those seeking the primitive power of Bestial Incantations.

Deathroot Locations—found within the grim chests of hidden catacombs and dropped by the spectral Tibia Mariners—grant the favor of Gurranq, the Beast Clergyman, in the Bestial Sanctum.

To achieve 100% completion, you must secure all nine roots scattered across the Lands Between and the expanded Nightreign territories.

Each root traded to Gurranq at the Bestial Sanctum unlocks a specific reward:

• 1st - Clawmark Seal & Beast Eye - Allows beast incantations; Eye vibrates near Deathroot.
• 2nd - Bestial Sling - Rapid-fire rock throw incantation.
• 3rd - Bestial Vitality - Passive HP regeneration incantation.
• 4th - Ash of War: Beast's Roar - Projectile scream for weapons.
• 5th - Beast Claw - Shockwave attack incantation.
• 6th - Stone of Gurranq - Large boulder throw incantation.
• 7th - Beastclaw Greathammer - Faith-scaling weapon with beast skill.
• 8th - Gurranq's Beast Claw - Advanced shockwave incantation.
• 9th - Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone - Max-level weapon upgrade material.

In the 2026 Nightreign expansion, the Beast Eye has been updated to vibrate when near the new "Spectral Husk" enemies in the Limveld region, who occasionally drop Sharded Deathroot for lower-tier rewards.

It is also worth knowing that when giving the 4th or 5th root, Gurranq will become hostile. Make sure you do not kill him; reduce his health by approximately 25% until he yields, then rest at a Site of Grace to reset his dialogue and continue the questline.
