Rya the scout

In the game Elden Ring, Rya the Scout (also known by her true name, Zorayas) does not have a specific in-game "ability" that the player can use. Instead, her role is that of a key NPC who advances the Volcano Manor questline and provides significant lore. Her primary function is as a: Recruiter and Scout: Rya works for the Volcano Manor, seeking out Tarnished who are strong and willing to join their cause. Her initial interaction involves asking the player to retrieve a stolen necklace, which is a test to see if the Tarnished is capable of "killing their own kind". Quest Giver: Progressing her personal quest involves several steps, including finding her necklace, joining the Manor, exploring the secret areas of the Manor, and making a final decision about her fate. Lore Source: She reveals crucial information about the true nature of Volcano Manor and its inhabitants, including her relationship with Lady Tanith and her own serpentine form. Quest Rewards Successfully completing her questline (depending on the choices made) rewards the player with valuable items: Taker's Cameo talisman (for progressing the Volcano Manor contracts she enables). Daedicar's Woe talisman, which is an item that increases the damage the player takes, essentially acting as a "hard mode" item. Zorayas's Letter (if you choose the "best" ending where you don't give her the Tonic of Forgetfulness and don't kill her). Her "ability" within the narrative is her role in scouting and guiding the player through the morally ambiguous path of the Volcano Manor.
