Since you are here, you also want to complete this questline, so we recommend that you start your journey with this walkthrough.

Elden Ring Ranni The Witch Walkthrough Questline

The quest will start when you meet Ranni in her tower, also known as Ranni’s Rise in Elden Ring. Once you complete Kariya Manor in Northern Liurnia, you will need to defeat Royal Knight Loretta and you will gain access to the Three Sisters area. Once you get to this location, you’ll notice three separate towers, and the one to the west is Ranni’s Rise.

When you get to Ranni’s Rise, you need to go upstairs to talk to the Witch. After the dialogues are over, she will ask you to serve her. To serve her or not is a choice you can make after knowing the pros and cons of your decision.

With that in mind, if you want to continue, you will need to complete a set of quests that will be part of this quest chain. Once you have accepted Ranny, you will be tasked with finding the Lost Treasure of Nokron. The quest includes several side quests that you will receive when you meet Bladed, Idgie, and Seluvis, several NPCs in Ranny’s employ. Now the walkthrough below will guide you through all the quests and side quests in Ranny’s Elden Ring questline.

After you finish all the dialogues with Bladed, Iji and Seluvis, Bladed will tell you to meet him at the Siofra River. With this, you will unlock Seluvis Rise and you can now complete the Seluvis questline. Once you get to the Siofra River, go north from the place of grace in the Hallowhorn lands and you can find Bladed there.

Once you’ve finished talking to Bladed, he’ll tell you that he thinks Seluvis knows more about Nokron. After that, return to Seluvis Rise and talk to Seluvis about it. Seluvis will guide you to the sorceress Sellen, where you can learn more. This conversation will help you start the festival that Alexander mentions at the beginning of this questline.

Upon making contact with the Sorceress, you will learn about Radan’s Starscourge. You can now return to Bladed and he will then tell you to meet him at Redmayne Castle to fight alongside you and defeat Radan. This starts one of the important parts of Ranny’s Elden Ring questline.

Once you reach the courtyard of Red-Mane Castle, you can find Bladed and Alexander Ironfist. While you are climbing the stairs, you will be able to listen to an announcer who you can talk to and start the festival. When you talk to him, he will provide you with information about Radan and ask if you are ready. To do this, you need to select “Ready as never before”for the doors to open. Now that you’re inside, you’ll have to defeat the Starscourge Radahn.

Now that you’ve defeated Radan’s Starscourge, you need to speak with Bladed, who will point out the location of your next meeting point. However, once you’re there, it will be difficult to find Bladed. To talk to him, you need to walk past the Folorn Hound Evergaol to hear his voice. As you approach Evergaol, you will find that Bladed has been locked inside Evergaol and you can choose whether or not to release him.

Once you’re done with that, you’ll have access to Nokron, which you can enter through the crater south of the Misty Forest Ruins. While you are here, you will need to find an important item that is part of Ranny’s Elden Ring quest chain. Soon you will come across a clearing with stones floating in the center. While you’re here, you need to drop down to the ledge below and make your way to the door on your left. Soon you will reach Nocron and now you will have to make your way through the rooftops.

Now that you’ve reached Nokron, you’ll need to head northeast. As you continue walking, you will come across a ledge on the left that you can walk across. You need to keep moving northeast until you get to the first place of grace in this region.

From the Place of Grace, go northeast and then go up the stairs to the right. You will soon come across a veiled door and once you enter you will have to defeat Mimic Tear. The area is vast and you will have to explore quite a bit even on the right path. However, since this will help you complete Ranny’s Elden Ring quest chain, it’s important.

After defeating the Tear of Mimi, a path will open in the northeast direction, and you can see the Place of Grace here. Now keep running across the bridge and jump to the left as it leans over. Moving forward along this path, take the first hole on the left and you will find another Place of Grace.

Now jump onto the rooftops and then continue southwest and around the corner. Soon you will be able to jump onto the ledge on the right, where you will find a corpse. Now you need to jump down and keep moving forward past the two Silver Tear enemies. Continuing down, you will come to a place with a giant ball in the middle. It will roll towards you, so be careful.

Once you enter the door and turn right, you will find another Place of Grace. Now you need to head north, go inside the building and find the chest. You’ll find the Fingerslayer Blade right here in Elden Ring.

While finding the Fingerblade is quite difficult, it is an important part of Ranny’s Elden Ring questline. Once you bring him back to Ranny and talk to her, you will be able to unlock Renna’s Rise and get the Carian Inverted Statue. Head northeast of Ranni’s Rise and you’ll find it. Now all you have to do is climb the tower to find the teleporter.

You will now reach the main Ansel River and get a miniature Ranny doll when you get close to the exposed stone blocks. When you go up, you need to rest on the Place of Grace that will appear and talk to the doll. If you do this a few times, you will open a dialogue where she will ask you to destroy the Shadows of Doom.

From the Place of Grace, you need to head to the ruins of Ould Palace and enter the river. As soon as the first turn to the right appears, you will see an open door. Taking it, you will reach the place of Noxtella’s grace.

From Nokstella Site of Grace, you need to follow the path instead of climbing the stairs. Soon you will reach a building in the southern region, where you can find an elevator that will take you down. Once you take the elevator up, you can find the place of grace in the Noxtella Falls pool.

While you’re here, you can rest and talk to Ranny one more time. Now you need to go ahead, and soon you will find yourself in a red room. While you are here, you will be attacked by a Shadow of Doom that you need to defeat. Once you defeat the shadow, Ranny will say goodbye and give you the discarded key to the palace. You can use this key to open Rennell’s locked chest in the Great Library and get the Ring of the Dark Moon. This will be useful for completing Ranny’s quest chain in Elden Ring.

Now head southeast into the building and you can take the elevator further down to the Lake of Rot. You then need to make your way through the Lake of Rot to the Grand Monastery by pressing the various buttons on the floor to raise the structures. Once you get to the Grand Monastery, you need to jump off the ledges until you reach the bottom. You will soon come across a coffin, and as soon as you hit “Rest”, a cutscene will start.

You will roll over the waterfall and soon find a veiled door through which you will find Astel Netherborn in Elden Ring. Here you need to defeat Astel in the boss fight. At the end of the boss fight, you will come across a sealed gate that can only be opened by the Dark Moon Ring we mentioned above.

This is the last part of Ranny’s Elden Ring quest chain. Once you open the seal on the door, you will find an elevator that will take you to the well of the river Ainsel. Now you will find yourself at the Moonlight Altar, which is well known for the return of the dragon Glintson Adula. You can either defeat the Glintstone Dragon Adula or let him slide down and enter the large cathedral.

While you are in the cathedral, you may notice a hole in the ground where you need to jump. Here you will be able to find Ranny, and after interacting with her, you need to put the Ring of the Dark Moon on her finger and swear allegiance to her spouse.

Ranni will now say goodbye and tell you to continue your journey to become the oldest lord. When the time is right, you two will rule together. After Ranny disappears, return to the hole and you will receive the Great Sword of Darmun in Elden Ring.
