Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First Meeting: Limgrave
    Find Alexander east of the Warmaster’s Shack. He's stuck in the ground. Hit his rear with a heavy attack to free him. You'll receive the Triumphant Delight emote and a piece of Exalted Flesh.
  2. 2
    Second Meeting: Gael Tunnel
    Alexander is found inside Gael Tunnel in Caelid. If you enter from the rear, you'll hit a dead end with a locked door. You must find the front entrance (southeast of the rear entrance, approach from the west of Caelid). Navigate the tunnel, defeat enemies, and open the door from the other side to speak with Alexander.
  3. 3
    Third Meeting: Redmane Castle
    Alexander is north of the Redmane Castle Plaza Site of Grace in Caelid. Speak with him. He will participate in the Starscourge Radahn fight as an NPC summon. After Radahn is defeated, find him near the Site of Grace where he laments his weakness.
  4. 4
    Fourth Meeting: Liurnia of the Lakes
    Find Alexander stuck in the ground again, south of the Carian Study Hall Site of Grace in eastern Liurnia. You'll need an Oil Pot to free him this time. Craft one using the cookbook found from the merchant in Siofra River. Apply the Oil Pot to him, then hit his rear with a heavy attack.
  5. 5
    Fifth Meeting: Mt. Gelmir
    Alexander is in a lava field on Mt. Gelmir, northwest of the Altus Plateau. Head west from Wyndham Ruins to the Seethewater River, follow it northwest to Fort Laied, then travel south to the lava field.
Tips
  • Use Torrent to quickly scale cliffs when searching for Alexander.
  • A heavy attack is required to free Alexander from the ground in Limgrave and Liurnia.
  • The Oil Pot for the Liurnia encounter can be crafted if you have the correct cookbook and materials.
  • Alexander's death during the Starscourge Radahn fight does not prevent quest progression.
  • Triumphant Delight emote (First Meeting)
  • Exalted Flesh (First Meeting)
  • Further progression in his questline leading to a significant reward later in the game.
