#the scarlet rot subplot would be s tier if millicent could be summoned for a relevant fight

elden ring sidequest/subplot tier list

this tier list is inarguable and objectively correct!

s. ranni's gang, volcano manor/rya

a. millicent/the scarlet rot/the haligtree, patches, alexander, sellen, flame of frenzy & adherents

b. fia/rogier/d/godwyn, boc, diallos, roderika, castle morne, kenneth haight, the eternal cities

c. dung eater & the omens, nepheli loux & gideon, corhyn & goldmask, varre, the albinaurics in general, any other minor quest that it's easy to miss big chunks of e.g. blackgaurd big boggart or latenna

d. whatever mogh's deal was, whatever the fire cult's deal was, whatever farum azula's deal was, whatever the ancestral followers' deal was, any other recurring group of enemies that doesn't have an associated speaking role

e. any quest that revolves around handing in collectibles to a stationary dude

f. seluvis, who is that while also being one of the worst person you're still technically able to help

#elden ring #it's honestly a crime that volcano manor doesn't have an ending because it's probably the most fleshed out npc group besides ranni's gang #I might be underrating fia's quest because it just wasn't really present at all in my first playthrough #I talked to fia and she gave me the blessing and then I was like this sucks and then didn't talk to her again #patches would be s tier if the castanets actually did something. as-is it's just a good shaggy dog story #the scarlet rot subplot would be s tier if millicent could be summoned for a relevant fight #and maybe if one of her sisters invaded in the lake of rot somewhere #I also wish the haligtree/elphael was a little bit less dense with enemies #the dung eater is just an asshole with zero nuance or flair but I guess that's kind of the point #why on earth does he have his own ending??? the flame of frenzy is already the fuck everything chaos 10000 years option #the eternal cities is coasting on siofra being far and away the prettiest area in the game and containing the mimic boss/summon #they are not very developed or deep #if any faction in elden ring were to get extensively fleshed out in a dlc campaign I would want it to be the albinaurics #they're a really interesting setup for not much payoff #and hinge way too much on an easily missable quest
