An item that will decide the fate of two NPCs!
If you want to complete Fire Knight Quilain or Joran’s quests and get the best rewards, here’s what you need to know Elden Ring Locations, uses, and NPC options for Iris of Grace and Iris of Occultation.
For players who don’t know, the Iris of Grace and the Iris of Occultation are two important items and consumables in Elden Ring that play a key role in determining the rewards you receive from NPCs Joran and Fire Knight Quirin at the end of the quest.
This guide will show you the locations of the Elden Ring Iris of Grace and Iris of Occultation in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, as well as all of the NPC choices associated with them.
Elden Ring Iris of Grace Location
In Elden Ring, you can find the Iris of Grace in front of a stone desk in the hallway of the Specimen Warehouse area.

To get there, teleport to the Warehouse, 1st floor Blessings location, and continue straight ahead while keeping to the left.

You’ll need to take an elevator down to the lower level of the specimen storehouse. Once you get off the elevator, continue along the path to the right.
Turn left at the end of the room and use the stairs to head down, then turn left again as soon as you enter a clinic-like area full of pot-experiment enemies.
You’ll find the Iris of Grace right in front of the giant internal experimental organism.
Apart from that, another can be found in front of the statue of Mallika near the sacred place of worship of the Tree of Grace.
Elden Ring’s Iris of Concealment location

The Iris of Concealment can be obtained by defeating the Lesser Omenkiller at the bottom of the Fortress of Punishment in the Skadu Arthas region of the Shadow Realm.

To get there, take the main path along the right side from the Moorish ruins of Blessed Lands, and you’ll soon reach the Fortress of Punishment.
Once inside the fort, you can either kill the Lesser Omenkiller in the courtyard, or turn left and drop down into the pit. Just nearby you’ll find another horned enemy. Kill him to get an Iris of Occultation.
You can get another Iris of Occultation by defeating the Lesser Ulcerated Tree Spirit, which appears after clearing the water in the Church District.
Elden Ring’s Iris of Grace and Iris of Occultation

Both are consumables in Elden Ring, and like Rune Arcs, can be consumed to gain the blessing of the Great Rune when equipped, though it is not recommended to do so as they are required for several NPC questlines.

Both items are tied to two NPC questlines: Fire Knight Queelig and Jolan.
- Fire Knight Quirin
- Give Iris of Blessing: Drop Fire Knight Quirin Ash Spirit
- Gives Iris of Concealment: Drops Cuillin’s Greatsword
- Joran
- Gives Iris of Grace: Drops Night Swordsman Joran Spirit Ash
- Gives the Iris of Concealment: Drops the Sword of Night
Which one should you choose?
As mentioned above, Iris of Grace can be used to obtain Fire Knight Quinlin and Joran’s Spirit Ash, and Swordhand of Knight Joran’s Spirit Ash can be transformed into an upgraded version by channeling another Swordhand, Anna, but the overall effectiveness of Spirit Ash is fine.
Existing Spirit Ashes such as Black Knife Tear and Mimic Tear are still some of the best Spirit Ashes to use in the game.

Meanwhile, giving Occultation to Joran and Fire Knight Quirin will give you their weapons, which we think is a much better choice than Spirit Ash.
However, the choice depends on you and your needs: for Fire Knight Queelign, it’s easy to choose between Iris of Grace and Iris of Occultation, but for Jolan, players may want to choose Swordhand of Night Jolan Spirit Ash to guide Anna and bring the two together.
