All Deathroot locations in Elden Ring
Where to find all Deathroot, so you can claim all of Gurranq's rewards.
Deathroots are key items in Elden Ring that can be exchanged for valuable rewards in Caelid's Bestial Sanctum. They fulfil no other purpose than being handed in at the right place and receiving something in exchange. You can therefore use them with a clear conscience without having to worry about missing out on something elsewhere. In the following guide, we'll show you all Deathroot locations in Elden Ring and what to use them for.

How to use Deathroots in Elden Ring
You'll get the first hint about such a root from D, a character standing west of the Summonwater Village in Limgrave, who warns you about the Tibia Mariner in the village.
Defeat this little boss and collect your first root. Show it to D in the Roundtable Hold to continue his quest. He will mark a portal on your map that will take you to the Bestial Sanctum in Caelid. This location can also be reached on foot, but it is much quicker with the teleporter.
In this location you will meet Gurranq, the Beast Clergyman. He exchanges Deathroots for items, and especially some nice incantations. Each root you submit unlocks another reward. A rare Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone awaits you at the end.
After four roots have been given in a row, Gurranq will attack you. You have to fight him briefly and take some of his health so that he calms down again.
The Beast Eye trembles - what does this mean?
If you're notified that 'The Beast Eye trembles' while exploring The Lands Between, this is a hint from the game that a Deathroot is nearby. The Beast Eye is a reward from Gurranq for handing over the first Deathroot. Whenever it starts trembling, another root is not far away!
