Among the items needed for Elden Ring's NPC questlines, the Unalloyed Gold Needle can be especially tricky to locate, especially since finding it requires a journey into the horribly poisonous swamps of Caelid. This article will explain where to find the needle and what to do with it.
Where to Find Unalloyed Gold Needle in Elden Ring
To find the Elden Ring Unalloyed Gold Needle location, you need to go into the Swamp of Aeonia, as we’ve said. In fact, your target is just to the west of Gowry’s Shack. Once you go to the place we’ve marked on the map for you, you’ll find yourself in a circle surrounded by gnarled, diseased trees. In the middle of it is a hulking standard-bearer in armor called Commander O’Neil. Don’t let the pedestrian name fool you; this guy is a formidable enemy. Not only does he summon additional enemies twice during the battle, but his attacks are brutal and can cover a shocking amount of ground around him. Once you do manage to bring him down, he’ll drop the needle and the Commander’s Standard, aka the halberd he was just thrashing you with..
To beat him, clear the mobs and watch out for the huge delay in his attacks. Run away when he starts to swing his halberd around, as he’ll slam it down shortly to either create a small or large AOE that inflicts Scarlet Rot, a powerful poison effect. He’s got a lot of health, so whittling him down will take time, and at about 50%, he’ll summon stronger support.
Killing O’Neil awards the Unalloyed Gold Needle and the Commander’s Standard weapon.
Inspection of the Needle's description in the inventory will reveal it is broken, so players should return to Gowry to have it repaired. He'll ask them to wait until he has fixed it, so rest at a Site of Grace and then return to him to receive the repaired Unalloyed Gold Needle.
