Learn how to find Kenneth Haight in Elden Ring, clear Fort Haight, and complete his questline for rewards like the Erdsteel Dagger and Dectus Medallion (Left).

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Find Kenneth Haight: He is located atop ruins northeast of the Mistwood Outskirts Site of Grace in East Limgrave. Listen for his shouts. He will ask you to clear Fort Haight to the south.
  2. 2
    Prepare for Fort Haight: Rest at the Fort Haight Site of Grace near the beach west of the fort.
  3. 3
    Clear the Outer Fort: Head up the path to the fort, defeating weaker melee enemies. In the courtyard before the fort, fight several stronger knights and a Pumpkin Head. Draw the Pumpkin Head away from the steps to make the fight easier. Defeating the Pumpkin Head yields a Chainlink Flail.
  4. 4
    Clear the Inner Fort: Enter the fort and run through the inner courtyard, using cover to avoid flaming arrows. Clear out the minor enemies shooting arrows.
  5. 5
    Defeat the Mini-Boss: Ascend the fort's walls to find an unnamed knight in golden armor. This knight wields a slow sword that can be interrupted. Defeating him grants the Ash of War: Blood Slash.
  6. 6
    Loot the Fort: Search the fort thoroughly. A chest atop the tallest turret, reached by a ladder near the golden knight, contains the Dectus Medallion (Left).
  7. 7
    Return to Kenneth Haight: Go back to Kenneth at the ruins near Mistwood Outskirts. He will thank you and give you an Erdsteel Dagger. Exhaust his dialogue; he will mention returning to the fort and offer you a chance to pledge service.
  8. 8
    Second Fort Haight Encounter: Return to Fort Haight. It will be overrun with weaker enemies. Defeat them and speak to Kenneth atop the castle walls. He will state he cannot knight you and seeks a legitimate ruler for Limgrave.
  9. 9
    Final Meeting (Stormveil Castle): After reaching Crumbling Farum Azula, return to Roundtable Hold and exhaust dialogue with Hewg and Roderika. Rest at the Site of Grace multiple times. Ensure you have completed Nepheli Loux's quest up to giving her The Stormhawk King.
  10. 10
    Throne Room Encounter: Rest at the Godrick, the Grafted Site of Grace in Stormveil Castle to refresh the area. You will find Nepheli and Kenneth in the throne room. Nepheli will act as the new ruler of Limgrave and give you an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone. Gatekeeper Gostoc may also be present and offer to sell another for 20,000 Runes.
Tips
  • Conserve your flasks and resources during the initial fights as the inner fort battle can be challenging.
  • Draw the Pumpkin Head enemy away from the steps in the outer courtyard to improve your maneuverability.
  • The golden knight mini-boss's attacks are slow and can be interrupted.
  • Thoroughly explore all areas of Fort Haight for hidden loot.
  • Chainlink Flail (from Pumpkin Head)
  • Ash of War: Blood Slash (from Golden Knight mini-boss)
  • Dectus Medallion (Left) (from chest in the tallest turret)
  • Erdsteel Dagger (from Kenneth Haight upon first return)
  • Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone (from Nepheli at Stormveil Castle, if questline is completed)

If you kill Kenneth Haight, he drops a Golden Seed.
