How do I get my runes back from Gostoc?

FYI if you want to hold off on killing Gostoc to get your runes back, it absolutely must be before you beat Godrick. If you beat Godrick, Gostoc will no longer drop them. That said you only ever get back what you lost from his death tax.

Is it worth killing Gostoc?

Killing Gostoc will not lock you out of Nepheli Loux and Kenneth Haight's quest as it can still be completed without him, but you will miss out on the Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone and won't be able to buy it from the Twin Maiden Husks even if you gave them his bell bearing.

Is Gatekeeper Gostoc important?

You should still take the path he suggests as it is easier, Gostock will also stalk you along the way. However, don't treat him as an enemy as you'll need him alive for a more important quest later, so while Gostoc is a murderous little thief, he's of use to you, so stay your hand and keep the creep alive.

Does Gatekeeper Gostoc have a questline?

The Elden Ring Gatekeeper Gostoc quest all happens within Stormveil Castle, so it's possible to complete it early on. It's a bit generous to even call it an Elden Ring quest as there are only a couple of steps, but it's easy to miss it completely as he can move around quite a bit within the castle.

Does killing Gostoc do anything?

If you decide to kill him before defeating Godrick the Grafted, you'll retreive all of the runes he stole from you (if you waited until after you killed Grodrick, sorry you're out of luck).

Should I go to the main gate or side of Stormveil?

We recommend not going in via the main gate.

It is the most difficult route. By entering through here, you're instantly met with multiple projectile bolts that will two-shot you and shoot from enemies up above with speed. While this is happening, there's an army of enemies up the road, at least three blockades.

How to get 1,000 runes?

The huge, hairy trolls on the cliffs North of the Stormgate each drop about 1000 Runes when killed, and while they hit hard, they're also very slow.
