You could play Elden Ring<\/a> for hours without really encountering a traditional quest or mission, such is the intriguing shape of this vast open-world game that is littered with tricky boss battles. However, Elden Ring\u2019s Ranni quest line bucks that trend somewhat, and you\u2019ve come to the right place to learn all about it.<\/p>\n

This being Elden Ring, the Ranni quest is not signposted in any particularly overt ways, and it\u2019s not massively obvious where you\u2019re meant to go in order to kick it off. And once you have found the Ranni quest, you often won\u2019t receive any pointers or guidance to help you get through it.<\/p>\n

Carrying on with every job that Ranni throws at you will eventually allow you to get the Dark Moon Greatsword, which returning Souls fans will remember as the Moonlight Greatsword. So keep on reading and our Elden Ring Ranni quest guide will help you find the quest, complete it, and reap the rewards that it comes with.<\/p>\n

How to start Ranni quest in Elden Ring<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You should have already met Ranni, or Renna as she is sometimes called, when you picked up the Spirit Calling Bell and the Lone Wolf Ashes at the Church of Elleh in Limgrave (if you haven\u2019t done that yet, here\u2019s a link to a video guide<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The main Ranni quest in Elden Ring begins in a totally different location, though. You\u2019ll be able to pick up her quest line when you reach Liurnia of the Lakes, specifically its western region, and it\u2019s not a million miles from the boss battle against Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon (who is a totally different character, by the way). This will be after<\/em> you\u2019ve defeated Margit and Godrick, the first two bosses in the game, or snuck around them<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Head to the left-most point marked on this map.<\/span><\/figcaption> Map Genie<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

If you\u2019ve made it to this point in the game, you should recognise the area above \u2013 the structure in the middle of the screenshot is Caria Manor, where you\u2019ll face a boss battle against Loretta. If you haven\u2019t been here before, it\u2019s on the western side of Liurnia (or the left-hand side if you\u2019re not into compasses).<\/p>\n

To pick up the Ranni quest line, you\u2019ll want to head to the left-most point of interest that is marked on that map above (with thanks to the interactive map at Map Genie<\/a>). There are three towers to the west\/left of Caria Manor, and it\u2019s the middle one you need to visit to kick off this quest. Note that you\u2019ll have to go through Caria Manor and defeat Loretta on your way.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve made it to that left-most point of interest, a tower called Ranni\u2019s Rise<\/strong>, head inside and make your way up to the top of the building. Here you\u2019ll meet Ranni again, and she\u2019ll tell you all about the mysterious city of Nokron \u2013 this is the quest you\u2019re looking for!<\/p>

How to complete the Ranni quest in Elden Ring<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Now that you\u2019ve spoken to Ranni, the quest has begun. You\u2019ll want to head downstairs, where you should meet a wolf-like character named Blaidd who will tell you to meet him in Siofra River.<\/p>\n

Before you go there, though, head to Seluvis\u2019 Rise\u00a0<\/strong>(the bottom of the three towers in the image above) and speak to Seluvis until he talks to you about Nokron.<\/p>\n

Also, make sure you speak to the big fellow named Iji on the road that leads to Carian Manor. He\u2019s up the path from the Site of Grace named Road to the Manor<\/strong>. Chat to him until he talks about Nokron, too, because this whole stage of the quest is about gathering information.<\/p>\n

Now you need to head back to Limgrave and the Site of Grace named Siofra River<\/strong> Well <\/strong>\u2013 with thanks again to Map Genie, it is marked in the image below.<\/p>\n

\""Head\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
Head to this well and take the lift down.<\/span><\/figcaption> Map Genie<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

Heading here will allow you to take one of Elden Ring\u2019s many lifts all the way down to one of Elden Ring\u2019s many underground ruins. Down there you\u2019ll find Blaidd again, and he\u2019ll tell you a bit more about Nokron, but he still doesn\u2019t know how to get there.<\/p>\n

Talk to Blaidd until he suggests that you go back to ask Seluvis for more information. Go back to Seluvis\u2019 Rise and ask him straight-up about Nokron. He\u2019ll tell you to go and visit Sorcerer Sellen to give her a letter. You\u2019ll find her in the Waypoint Ruins Cellar\u00a0<\/strong>back in Limgrave. Show her the letter and she will offer some knowledge in return.<\/p>\n

Head back to\u00a0Siofra\u00a0<\/strong>(you should be able to bypass the lift and go straight to the underground Site of Grace this time) and tell Blaidd the info you got from Sellen. Blaidd will be inspired to give you another hot lead \u2013 you now need to head to Castle Redmane in Caelid, where you\u2019ll face a boss named Radahn and gain passage to Nokron.<\/p>\n

\""Take\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
Take the portal by this bridge.<\/span><\/figcaption> Map Genie<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

To get to Radahn, head to the Site of Grace named\u00a0Impassable Greatbridge <\/strong>in Caelid, which is shown in the screenshot above (credit again to Map Genie).<\/p>\n

Go through the nearby portal. It will take you to Castle Redmane where you can catch up with Blaidd, enter a tournament, fight Radahn and ultimately learn how to enter Nokron.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve defeated Radahn, you\u2019ll be able to travel to Nokron. You\u2019ll find a message from Blaidd at the Mistwood Ruins in Limgrave, not far from the lift that you took down to Siofra earlier. In the screenshot below, the ruins you need are marked on the left, and the well you went to earlier is on the right.<\/p>\n

\""Head\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
Head to the bottom landmark on this map.<\/span><\/figcaption> Map Genie<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

With Blaidd urging you to go on without him, head to the floating column of rubble near the edge of the world. Using your horse, jump across the mountainside and you should find a passage into Nokron.<\/p>\n

Now that you\u2019re finally here, you can dash across the rooftops and sneak around until you find the Fingerslayer Blade to give to Ranni. There will be some foes you need to fight along the way, but eventually you\u2019ll find a chest containing the blade for Ranni. Now, finally, you can head back to Ranni\u2019s Rise with something to show for your efforts.<\/p>\n

Note: if we\u2019ve lost you at any point during this guide, the video below is a resource we\u2019d heartily recommend if you\u2019re trying to find all the different pieces of this quest. It\u2019s handily broken up into segments, too, so you can skip ahead to any bit you\u2019re stuck on with ease.<\/p>\n
