goldmask/corhyn missing?

[heinric]

so i did the questline up until you need to use the 37 int spell which i never did and i went on to progress through the game. now im at the elden beast and goldmask and corhyn are nowhere to be found checked all the stops from the wiki and the old ones i seen them at cant find either of them goldmask isnt at the capital and neither is corhyn. is this another npc where once you get past the crumbling azula they disappear since i didnt finish the quest? i know thats the case for the red spirit invader oni in the snow mountains.

from what i've been able to find, when people say you don't need Corhyn to do gold masks they almost exclusively have him die at the road north on the plattue. Corhyn does die once the erdtree is burned, presumably by suicide. If you had told him about the location of goldmask, gold mask will not appear anywhere in the game either. Uniquely, the last location where you found goldmask will still be marked as being where he is on the map.

Unfortunately that is an ending you can lock yourself out of

Man, seriously? Every single guide I read on doing that quest stated simply to just not finish Crumbling Farum Azula, not "don't get there". Your response makes the most sense since I found Goldmask's helmet and Corhyn's bell where he was supposed to be in the capital. That sucks, why would telling the guy where Goldmask is lock out the quest, but not telling him is fine. What a weird condition.

Thanks for being the only actual answer to this I've found so far.

When I had this issue. I just checked the bridge where gold mask first was.

Informing Cohryn of Goldmask is essential for the quest line I believe, atleast I’ve always told him and I’ve never failed it that way.

If you failed the quest line brother corhyn’s body would likely be found, and not outright gone.

If you miss the last step of Cohryns quest, he DOES just disappear. If you complete it (does not involve completing the last Goldmask quest, just make sure Cohryns gets to Goldmask) You will find Corhyns dead in one of two places (see the wiki). Goldmask will also die if you complete his quest, but he DISAPPEARS if you do not and burn the Erd tree.
