One of the game’s more unique questlines was added in a post-release patch and follows a youthful Jar, taking you to the hidden village of Jarburg as you get to know this talkative pot in a quest that ties in with two of Elden Ring’s major characters.
Updated July 31, 2024, by Andrew Scariati: Finding Jar Bairn a Potentate in Elden Ring can be a challenge if you're approaching the quest without a guide, so we've got you covered. In addition to tracking down a Potentate, Elden Ring quests usually boast rewards, so we've updated this guide with a section covering them at the bottom.
Do not kill any Jars in Jarburg, or you will lock yourself out of this quest.
Meet Jar Bairn In Jarburg
To begin this questline, you will first need to have gained access to the area known as Liurnia of the Lakes.
Once in this part of the Lands Between, Jarburg can be found just south of the Carian Study Hall .
To get to this unassuming hamlet, you will have to utilize Torrent, your mount, jumping down via the slabs jutting out of the cliff face.
These jumps can be quite tough, so be sure to use Torrent and time them correctly, as the fall will spell your demise.
The area above Jarburg also houses a boss named the 
Tibia Mariner (Liurnia of The Lakes) . This enemy can be avoided by taking a long path around it.
Once you have arrived in Jarburg, claim the site of grace and speak with 
Jar Bairn . He can be found sitting atop a set of stone steps.
Approaching Jar Bairn will begin this quest.
Speak With Jar Bairn
The next step in this questline will be to befriend this infant jar.
Having spoken with Jar Bairn, choose the dialogue option that states “I’ll be your Potentate” to begin his questline in earnest.
Don’t worry if you have previously rejected his offer; you can change your mind at any point.
Unfortunately, Jar Bairn will inform you that you are not fit to be Potentate due to your warrior-like hands and bid you farewell.
This hints at the next stage of this questline, finding Jar Bairn a Potentate.
You must have met 
Alexander the Iron Fist at least once at this point, or Jar Bairn will not speak to you and instead will talk in his sleep until you meet his uncle.
Diallos And The Jars
To continue Jar Bairn’s story and find a great Potentate, you will first need to advance another NPC's quest.
Diallos can initially be found in the 
Roundtable Hold , Elden Ring’s hub area, where he will inform you that his lifelong friend has gone missing.
Continuing Diallos’ quest line will lead you to the 
Volcano Manor .
Once there, you will need to speak with him and then progress the side quest until you are tasked with killing 
Juno Hoslow, Knight of Blood , a relative of Diallos'.
Following this, Diallos should leave the Volcano Manor and travel to Jarburg.
You can also defeat Rykard instead, which will also move Diallos.
Head to Jarburg once more to find Diallos in one of the village’s huts, speak with him, and exhaust his dialogue.
From here, reload the area at the nearest site of grace and speak with Jar Bairn and Diallos, exhausting their dialogue again.
You may have to reload the area several times as the new dialogue options do not always appear on your first try.
Having spoken with them both, head to the site of grace and pass the time.
Two whole day and night cycles usually work here.
Now, speak with Jar Bairn again, who will have moved to the village's center and then to Diallos. During this conversation, you will learn of Diallos’ fate and his role as the Potentate of Jarburg.
After your conversation with Diallos, reload the area one last time to find Jar Bairn at the spot where Diallos was last.
Speak with him here and exhaust his dialogue.
Alexander And The Companion Jar Talisman
One key fact you will learn during your conversations with Jar Bairn is that Alexander the Warrior Jar, a character you will meet throughout your journey in the Lands Between, is his uncle.
To fully complete Jar Bairn’s questline, you must have also concluded Alexander’s story.

What Rewards Do You Get From The Jar Bairn Quest?
Once you have completed this game-spanning quest, head back to Jarburg and give Jar Bairn the item named “Alexander’s Innards,” and in return, you will receive the 
Companion Jar talisman, which improves your skill when throwing pots.
Head over to the middle of town to find two more items:
Diallos's Mask
Hoslow's Petal WhipHoslow's Petal Whip is excellent for inflicting the Bleed condition on your foes.
With that, you will have concluded the story of what has to be Elden Ring’s most adorable character, helping them discover their inner warrior along the way.
