GurranqBeast Clergyman Questline

Players should go to Summonwater Village and defeat the Tibia Marinerthere, then return to D at the Roundtable Hold to continue his quest. He will give you directions to go to the Bestial Sanctum in Caelid. You can teleport straight there without having to explore by usingthewaygate in East Limgrave.[Map link]
Be wary of the enemies, as they are much stronger due to being in a higher level area.

After the fourth Deathroot, he will become hostile towards you,you will have to bring his HP downuntil he stops attacking, then you can speak with him, reset the area, and use the fifth Deathroot for the Beast Claw Incantation. If you gave Gurranq the fifth Deathroot before he went aggressive, he will immediately give you theBeast ClawIncantation upon speaking to him after subduing him.

You can also choose to not talk to him after he stops attacking and kill him instead. This will make him drop the Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone without completing his quest.

• A tip for those who are finding this difficult: if you can aggro and bait theBlack Blade Kindred just outside to use its swordwave attack, it can deal enough damage to de-aggroGurranq.
• You can also bait him at the entrance (he can hit you through the gates and walls), back away far enough and use Night Maiden's Mist(charged for extra radius) to slowly whittle down his HP. Do note that he will remain aggressive until you reset the area.
• If you have a summon that can inflict rot or poison, such as a Rotten Stray AshesorSpirit Jellyfish Ashes, you can poison Gurranq and wait outside while the damage ticks. It will eventually reach the threshold to break the Beast Clergyman out of his rage and return him to normal. Teleport out and back to find him in his normal spot. (If he isn't there, check to the east of the Bestial Sanctum)
• Frost is another easy option. Two frost pots should proc it and immediately calm him down.

Elden Ring Gurranq, Beast Clergyman Notes & Trivia

• Long ago, Gurranq was a beast of such terrifying ferocity that his former namemeant "Death of the Demigods."
• At night, Gurranq can be found to the right side of the sanctum, howling at the sky. Talking to him when he does this does not grant new dialogue.
• A total of nine Deathrootcan be given to him to finish his questline.
  • Once all nine Deathroothave been given to him, he will tell the player that, despite their hard work, his hunger is still not satiated and that he will go on hunt them down alone. He will then vanish, giving the player an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone.
  • Alternatively, once you have given him the eighth Deathroot, you can kill him instead for the Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone, allowing you to skip the ninth Deathroot.
