Context & Background
Diallos Hoslow begins his journey as an insecure noble living in the shadow of his heroic brother, Juno Hoslow. His questline is deeply intertwined with Jar Bairn and the fate of Jarburg, a hidden village of living jars. Over successive game updates leading up to 2026, FromSoftware streamlined the NPC triggers, making this quest much easier to complete without accidentally locking yourself out.
To successfully trigger Diallos’s final move to Jarburg, players must progress both his dialogue at Volcano Manor and Jar Bairn's questline in Jarburg. Skipping these steps or defeating Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy, too early can occasionally stall Diallos's relocation, leaving his ultimate rewards permanently out of reach for your current playthrough.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
To guarantee success, follow this optimized routing:
- Step 1: Meet Diallos at the Roundtable Hold. Speak to him early in your playthrough. He will mention looking for his loyal servant, Lanya.
- Step 2: Locate Lanya's Body. Head to the sunken ruins north of the Academy Gate Town Site of Grace in Liurnia. You will find Diallos standing over Lanya's corpse, swearing vengeance on her killers.
- Step 3: Return to Roundtable Hold. Speak to Diallos again. He will express his intent to join the Volcano Manor to hunt down the Recusants who killed Lanya.
- Step 4: Join Volcano Manor. Travel to Mt. Gelmir and join the Volcano Manor. Speak to Diallos in the drawing-room. He will suffer a crisis of faith after joining his former enemies.
- Step 5: Travel to Jarburg. After Diallos leaves Volcano Manor (triggered by defeating Rykard or completing Volcano Manor contracts), head to Jarburg. Speak to Jar Bairn, reload the area, and locate Diallos working as the new Potentate.
- Step 6: Trigger the Poacher Attack. Pass time or reload the area multiple times until Jarburg is attacked. Speak to a wounded Diallos in the center of the village, and assure him that he successfully protected the jars.

What's Next
Once Diallos succumbs to his wounds, reload the area one final time. Jar Bairn will consume Diallos's remains to become a warrior, leaving behind Diallos's Mask and Hoslow's Petal Whip.
For players in 2026, utilizing the Hoslow's Petal Whip in dual-wield Power Stance bleed builds remains an incredibly potent strategy for clearing high-difficulty endgame content. Additionally, completing this quest allows you to finalize Jar Bairn's questline, granting the Companion Jar talisman which boosts the damage of all throwing pots by 20%—a must-have for specialized item-thrower builds.
