Commander O'Neil location on the map on Elden Ring

To get Commander’s Standard in Elden Ring, you need to defeat Commander O’Neil. This is an optional boss, so he can be easily missed in Aeonia Swamp. But we don’t recommend you do this, since his weapons are very good. In addition, defeating him is necessary for Gowry’s and Millicent’s quests.

So, Commander O’Neil is located in the eastern part of Aeonia Swamp. To get there, we recommend that you travel to the Inner Aeonia Site of Grace and then head south. But it is important to note that he is quite tough, as he can summon Exile Soldier spirits. Additionally, his attacks inflict the annoying Scarlet Rot status.

Therefore, you should use ranged combat, and Spirit Ashes will be able to trigger attacks on themselves. Also, players can use Torrent to avoid Scarlet Rot status. If you prefer close combat, we recommend that you use hit-and-run tactics. When you finally defeat Commander O’Neil, you will get the coveted Commander’s Standard.
