Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Meet Ranni: After defeating Royal Knight Loretta at Caria Manor, proceed through the Three Sisters area to Ranni's Rise. Speak with Ranni and agree to serve her. If you are on Rogier's quest, ask about the Cursemark and return to Rogier before Ranni will offer her service.
  2. 2
    Find Blaidd: Ranni will ask you to speak with her companions. Find Blaidd in Siofra River, accessed via the Siofra River Well in eastern Limgrave. Travel southeast from the Siofra River Bank Site of Grace to find him.
  3. 3
    Consult Seluvis: Blaidd suggests speaking to Preceptor Seluvis, located in the southern part of the Three Sisters area. He will give you Seluvis's Introduction and direct you to Sorcerer Sellen.
  4. 4
    Seek Sorcerer Sellen: Find Sorcerer Sellen at the Waypoint Ruins in Limgrave (defeat the Mad Pumpkin Head if you haven't met her). She will reveal that General Radahn stopped the stars and that you must defeat him to progress to Nokron.
  5. 5
    Defeat General Radahn: Travel to Redmane Castle in Caelid. Meet Blaidd at the castle plaza and proceed north to a portal leading to the boss battle against Starscourge Radahn. His defeat triggers a meteor shower, opening the path to Nokron.
  6. 6
    Enter Nokron and Obtain the Fingerslayer Blade: Return to Siofra River and take the lift down to Nokron. Navigate the area to find a chest containing the Fingerslayer Blade, a Key Item.
  7. 7
    Return to Ranni: Bring the Fingerslayer Blade back to Ranni at Ranni's Rise. She will then give you the Carian Inverted Statue.
  8. 8
    Obtain the Cursemark of Death: Use the Carian Inverted Statue on the pedestal at the Carian Study Hall (east of Liurnia) to access the Divine Tower of Liurna. Find the Cursemark of Death on a corpse there.
  9. 9
    Find Miniature Ranni: Return to Ranni's Rise and ascend the tower to find a portal to Ainsel River. Locate the Miniature Ranni inside an open coffin. Use the nearby Site of Grace and speak to the Miniature Ranni three times.
  10. 10
    Defeat Baleful Shadow: Follow the path southwest to Nokstella, Eternal City. Defeat the Invader Baleful Shadow to obtain the Discarded Palace Key.
  11. 11
    Obtain the Dark Moon Ring: If you have defeated Rennala at Raya Lucaria Academy, return to the Raya Lucaria Grand Library Site of Grace. Use the Discarded Palace Key to unlock the chest and obtain the Dark Moon Ring.
Tips
  • Glintstone Dragon Adula guards the path to Ranni's Rise; you can fight or bypass it.
  • You can speak with Smithing Master Iji and Preceptor Seluvis before finding Blaidd in Siofra River, but it's not necessary for progression.
  • After obtaining the Cursemark of Death and before heading to Ainsel River, check on Preceptor Seluvis; if he is dead, you can collect his equipment and Bell Bearing.
  • The Fingerslayer Blade is a Key Item, not a weapon.
  • The Dark Moon Ring is also a Key Item.
  • Dark Moon Greatsword
  • Ranni's Dark Moon Sorcery
  • Rememberance of the Naturalborn
