Quick start early blessing

Certain Early Blessing Points are unlocked immediately after obtaining the Red and Blue Chalice Bottles, significantly reducing travel time when starting a new character without causing players to skip any bosses.

Quickstart Early Graces

🎮 **Start your Elden Ring adventure quickly! **

✨ Module function

This mod allows you to unlock certain early game Blessing Points as soon as you obtain the Red and Blue Chalice Bottles, drastically reducing travel time when starting a new character.

🗺️ Unlocked Blessing Points

The mod provides a balanced starting point of blessing for each early zone:

• 🏰 **Castle Tunnel** (Stonewell City)
• 🏞️ **Rotten View Balcony** (Gelide)
• 🌉 **Sacrifice Bridge** (Weeping Peninsula)
• 🌊 **Lienia Shores** (Lienia of the Lake)
• 🏞️ **East Lienia Lake Shore** (Lienia of the Lake)
• ⛪ **Islay Church** (Nimgolf)
• 🌳 **Edge of the Mist Forest** (Nimgefu)
• 🏰 **Menqian Town** (Nimgefu)

🎁 Extra surprise

A pleasant surprise is that Melina immediately offers Thoret the first time you rest at the Blessing Point in Nimgolf, and then offers to take you to the Round Table Hall when you rest again, because the game thinks you've visited all of these Blessing Points and she doesn't show up!

⚠️ Limitations and known issues

• **Melina Interaction Issue**: At most QEG unlocked Blessing Points, the screen will go completely dark when Melina offers Torret - Keep pressing the Y key, then press the A key when she asks if you want her to go to the Golden Tree with you, do not touch the D-pad, and the screen will gradually return to normal.
• **MAP REQUIREMENTS**: You still need to reveal at least the portion of the map where the early unlocked Blessing Points are located, but you can teleport to them as soon as they are visible on the map

🛠️ Installation requirements

• **DSMSPortable** - latest version
• **ModEngine 2** - required
• **Auto Mod Merger** - optional tool

📥 Installation method

QEG is provided as a DSMSPortable Massedit script and needs to be merged into the regulation.bin file using DSMSP to be used.

🎯Basic installation steps

• Download QEG, DSMSPortable and ModEngine 2 and extract them to separate folders
• Go to your ER game directory, copy the "regulation.bin" file, and paste it into the "mod" folder in the new ModEngine 2 directory

🔧 Two merging methods

**Method 1: Use .bat file**

• Run "Install_QuickstartEarlyGraces.bat"
• Follow the prompts to provide the DSMSPortable.exe path, Regulation.bin path and Elden Ring directory
• DSMSPortable will start working to merge QEG into your regulation.bin

**Method 2: Use AMM tool**

• Download and unzip AMM to a convenient folder
• Open AMM and set path
• Added QEG folder to load order
• Generate merged .bat file and run

✅ How to confirm that the module is working properly

If you obtained some (Erotic) Forgestones[1], Neutralization Knobs, Golden Runes[1] and Stone Sword Keys, along with your Red and Blue Chalice Bottles, then the mod is activated and you should be able to access the Islay Church and Castle Tunnels immediately, as long as they are visible on the map.

🔍 How it works

Elden's Circle and other Souls-like games track which items have been picked up by setting flags in the save file to indicate that a specific batch of items has been obtained.

All item tokens for Elden's Circle come from the same pool as the story event tokens - most importantly here - the tokens where the Blessing Point is activated. By granting you some items, each item has a blessing point mark number as its item acquisition mark ID, we can unlock the blessing point early!
