Encountering Iron Fist Alexander is quite the challenge with his combination of a jolly and courageous demeanor of a knight of Catarina. Alexander’s quest is extensive with some of the missions optional, but if you want to see the end of the quest, you’ll need to run the Jar Bairn and Diallos quests.
You’ll typically find Alexander stuck on the ground asking for help. You can choose to help him up or just leave him there on the floor.
You can also fight him and when you defeat him, he drops 1500 runes, a Warrior Jar Shard if you fight him before the Crumbling Farum Azula, the Shard of Alexander, and Alexander’s innards if you fight him at the Crumbling Farum Azula.
How To Get Alexander’s Shard | Quest Guide – Elden Ring
The Alexander’s Shard is an essential talisman that helps you boost the attack power of your skills. The questline is a long one but seeing it through to the Crumbling Farum Aula gives you the Alexander’s Shard.

You can reach here from the Dragon Temple Lift grace which you’ll access by using two stonesword keys.
Move past the Plaza filled with the undead on the stairs, turn right, and you’ll come across the two square bracket-shaped archways. Jump on this archway on the left and move over to the other side.

You’ll find alexander on a flat area after you cross the crumbling tower. He’ll challenge you to a warrior’s duel and if you win, you’ll get the shards. If you lose, you can continue challenging till you win.
