Nepheli Loux

Nepheli Loux is a formidable warrior and a key NPC in Elden Ring, whose questline offers insights into the lineage of Godfrey, the first Elden Lord, and provides opportunities for powerful rewards. Her story is one of seeking purpose and finding her place in a fractured world.

Nepheli can first be encountered in the Stormveil Castle, near the Rampartside Path Site of Grace. She is initially distrustful and wary, believing you to be an enemy. After you defeat Godrick the Grafted, she will relocate to the Roundtable Hold, where she can be found in the hallway outside the main hall. Speaking with her here will reveal more about her background and her quest.

Nepheli's questline is intertwined with that of her adoptive father, Sir Gideon Ofnir, and her true lineage. She is the daughter of Godfrey, the Elden Lord, and is searching for her purpose and identity. Her journey is one of self-discovery, as she grapples with her heritage and the expectations placed upon her.

Key steps in Nepheli Loux's questline:

  1. Stormveil Castle: Speak with her near the Rampartside Path Site of Grace. She will initially be hostile.
  2. Roundtable Hold: After defeating Godrick, she will appear here. Speak with her multiple times. You may need to speak with Gideon Ofnir as well.
  3. Village of the Albinaurics: Nepheli will be found here, seeking information about her father. You will need to obtain the Albus's Rise item (found in a pot in the village) and give it to her.
  4. Volcano Manor: After completing certain steps, she may appear at Volcano Manor, seeking further guidance.
  5. Godrick's Great Rune: The ultimate goal of her quest is to find her place and potentially claim her birthright. The specific outcome of her quest can vary depending on player choices and progression.
