Elden Ring How To Get To Juno Hoslow

Alright, Tarnished! Let's talk about Juno Hoslow, Knight of Blood. Sounds intimidating, right? He is... sort of. Getting to him is half the battle, honestly. And let's be real, in Elden Ring, everything is half the battle.

Who is Juno Hoslow Anyway?

Okay, quick lore dump. Juno's part of the Hoslow family. You know, the one with the cool whips? He's vying for the title of Elden Lord, just like you! He's also got that sweet Hoslow's Petal Whip. Important detail: We want that whip!

He's not exactly a main boss. More like a… recurring inconvenience? But a fashionable one! Think of him as a stylish road bump on your path to becoming Elden Lord.

So, Where Do We Find This Stylish Road Bump?

Here's the fun part. Juno isn't hanging out in some conveniently labeled dungeon. Nope! He's part of a questline. A questline that involves bloody fingers and potentially ruining someone's day. You're cool with that, right?

Specifically, we're talking about the Volcano Manor questline. Remember that creepy mansion full of assassins who want you to join their… uh… "lifestyle"? Yeah, that place.

First, you need to get to Volcano Manor. There are a few ways. You could brave Mt. Gelmir. Lots of lava. Lots of death. Or, you can get abducted by a Virgin Abductor. Trust me, it sounds worse than it is. It's actually… kinda weird. And smelly. But efficient!

The Volcano Manor Hustle

Once inside, Rya (the scared lady hiding in a jar) needs your help, and Tanith (the headmistress) has a job offer for you. Accept it! You’re now a hired killer for the Volcano Manor. Congratulations… or condolences, depending on your moral compass.

Tanith will give you letters. These letters detail your targets. Read them! They give you clues about where to find your prey. Think of it like a morbid scavenger hunt.

The Target: Juno Hoslow!

Eventually, you'll get a letter about Juno. The target is located in the Mountaintops of the Giants. Brrr! So, if you haven't made it that far in the game, buckle up. You've got some exploring to do.

Once you're in the Mountaintops, look for the Shack of the Lofty. It's a lonely little shack with a creepy vibe. You can find it east of the Freezing Lake Site of Grace. Make sure you have a map so you don't get lost, because it's very cold. It's also dangerous, and the wind chill is not something to underestimate.

Inside the Shack of the Lofty, you'll find a little message on the ground. This is where you use the Recusant Finger that Tanith gave you. Doing so will allow you to invade Juno Hoslow's world.

Showdown Time!

Prepare for a fight! Juno can be tough. He's got that whip, remember? Hoslow's Petal Whip can inflict bleed buildup, which is annoying. And he's a pretty aggressive fighter.

Pro-Tip: Use ranged attacks or summons to distract him. If you're feeling brave, parry his attacks. Just be careful! He hits hard.

Once you defeat him, he'll drop his armor set and... you guessed it, Hoslow's Petal Whip! Victory is yours! You've successfully inconvenienced Juno Hoslow. Good job, Tarnished! You're one step closer to becoming Elden Lord... or at least having a cool whip.

Why Bother with Juno?

Besides the obvious reason (we want that whip!), Juno is a fun little side quest. It adds to the lore of the Hoslow family and gives you a reason to explore the Mountaintops of the Giants. Plus, it's always satisfying to check another Tarnished off your list.

And let's be honest, sometimes it's nice to take a break from the main story and just mess around. Volcano Manor offers plenty of opportunities for that. Just try not to think too much about the… ethics… of your actions. This is the Lands Between, after all. Morality is a flexible concept here.

So, go forth and hunt down Juno Hoslow! May your Flask of Crimson Tears be full, and may your mimic tear be extra tanky! Good luck, Tarnished!
