A half-wolf wielding a Berserk sword, a living jar with the heart of a warrior, a silent, T-posing monk. The characters that you can come across in Elden Ring are as varied as they are strange. One of the most kind in the collection of characters is Miriel, Pastor of Vows, who has been given the loving nickname of Pope Turtle by the community. This is because they are a turtle with a Pope hat on… pretty straightforward. Not only is Miriel a fun character to talk to, but they can also be a great aid to you on your quest to become Elden Lord. This guide will show you where to find Miriel, Pastor of Vows in Elden Ring.
Where To Find Miriel, Pastor Of Vows In Elden Ring
(Updated on August 8, 2024 – updated links, images, and formatting)
You can find Miriel, Pastor of Vows, in a location appropriately named the Church of Vows in Liurnia of the Lakes region. This is located to the north of the game’s starting region of Limgrave and just beyond Stormveil Castle. You can reach the Church either by foot or using a teleporter found within the Academy of Raya Lucaria. To get to the Church on foot, here’s what you need to do:
- Start from Academy Gate Town in the eastern part of the Lake
- Looking at the map above, you will notice a small collection of trees with a path that leads out of the water and back onto land.
- From that path, head to the north until the path forks
One path takes you down the hill toward an iron golem while the other goes up the hill. At the top of this hill overlooking the Lake, you will find the Church of Vows, and found inside is Miriel, Pastor of Vows. The other way to get to the Church is located in Raya Lucaria. Make your way through the level beyond the Red Wolf of Radagon boss fight. Just before the elevator leading up to the Rennala boss fight, you can find a teleporter that will take you to Miriel, Pastor of Vows. There’s no missing this secret!
Once you find Miriel, Pastor of Vows, you can talk to Pope Turtle about some of the lore of the world of the Lands Between and some info about the characters of Rennala, Radagon, and Marika and the relationships between them. You can bring the prayerbooks you can find throughout the game to Miriel to purchase new spells and incantations.
