Deathroots are a key item in Elden Ring. They can be given to Gurranq, Beast Clergyman, who will eat them and reward the player with a variety of items in return.
Description[]
A source that gives rise to Those Who Live in Death.
The Beast Clergyman, found at Bestial Sanctum in the distant east, collects and devours these roots.
On the night of the dire plot the stolen Rune of Death enabled the first Death of a demigod. Later, the Rune of Death spread across the Lands Between through the underground roots of the Greattree, sprouting in the form of Deathroot.
死に生きる者たちを、生み出す源
東の果てにある獣の神殿では
獣の司祭が、これを集め喰らっている
陰謀の夜、盗まれた死のルーンは
デミゴッド最初の死となった後
地下の大樹根を通じて、狭間の各地に現れ
死の根として芽吹いたのだ
