About this item

A written request from Volcano Manor disclosing the name of a Tarnished to be hunted. As the final request, the letter is vivid red.

"Juno Hoslow, Knight of Blood"

He can be found in the Mountaintops of the Giants. Find the red mark on your map for the exact location.

Drawing-room table after Rileigh

Volcano Manor

Starting Site of Grace: Volcano Manor

Before you go

• Complete and report the first two Tanith contracts.

1. At Volcano Manor in Mt. Gelmir, speak to Tanith beside the armored knight and agree to join. Take the Drawing-Room Key and open the drawing room down the corridor. Collect the Letter from Volcano Manor from its table.
2. Read the letter to mark Old Knight Istvan on the map. In Limgrave, start at Warmaster's Shack east of Stormhill Shack and head north toward the colosseum. Find the red invasion sign below the approach to its entrance.
3. Use the red sign and defeat Old Knight Istvan in his world. This is the contract target, rather than a roaming knight. Winning gives all four regular Scaled armor pieces directly.
4. Return to Tanith and report the completed request for Magma Shot. Her spell reward is separate from the armor, and reporting the kill makes the next letter available.
5. Collect the second Letter from Volcano Manor from the drawing-room table. It names Rileigh the Idle in the Altus valley south of the Shaded Castle.
6. From Bridge of Iniquity, cross east and go south to the spiritspring. Use Torrent to descend safely in the spring, then continue southwest to the second spiritspring and descend again to the valley floor.
7. Head north through the valley to the red sign at the letter's map marker. Defeat Rileigh for Crepus's Vial and 20 Black-Key Bolts. Return to Tanith for Serpentbone Blade before continuing the manor quests.
8. Collect the Red Letter from the drawing-room table. It marks Juno Hoslow, Knight of Blood, near Shack of the Lofty in the Mountaintops of the Giants.

Notes

• Names Juno Hoslow, Knight of Blood, the final main Tanith target. The red map marker is in the Mountaintops, not in the Consecrated Snowfield.
• For the normal Mountaintops route, defeat Morgott in Leyndell, receive the Rold Medallion from Melina and follow the eastern capital exit through Forbidden Lands to the Grand Lift of Rold. Hoist the ordinary Rold Medallion, rather than the Haligtree secret medallion.
• Follow the Mountaintops route past Zamor Ruins and the long narrow bridge to Ancient Snow Valley Ruins. From that grace, head northeast to the frozen stream, then turn west toward Shack of the Lofty.
• Find Juno's red sign just northeast of the shack, near the letter's map marker. Use it and defeat him for Hoslow's Helm, Armor, Gauntlets, Greaves and Hoslow's Petal Whip. His paired whips build blood loss, so avoid standing in their reach through a long combination.
• Juno gives Hoslow's four regular armor pieces and Hoslow's Petal Whip directly. Tanith's Taker's Cameo is a separate contract reward.
• The Red Letter assignment can still be completed after Rykard. When Tanith no longer gives the normal reward conversation, Taker's Cameo appears at the letter's place on the drawing-room table.
• This exception does not preserve every Manor quest. Finish Patches's and Bernahl's separate assignments before Rykard if you want their rewards.
