Master the Mystic Arts: Complete Quest Guide for Elden Ring's Enchanting Sorceress Sellen

In Elden Ring, players have the opportunity to become the student of Sorceress Sellen, an NPC who transforms into a merchant specializing in teaching Spells. Throughout the questline, players will encounter Sellen in various locations, with her guidance leading them to her true form as trust is gained. However, completing a series of tasks is necessary to reach this phase.

While the questline of Ranni the Witch and Fia, the Deathbed Companion, in Elden Ring can unlock a special ending, Sellen's questline does not offer the same outcome. Nevertheless, players who embark on Sellen's questline will be rewarded with new Armor sets and Spells. Obtaining these rewards will not be a simple task, as they are scattered throughout the vast Lands Between.

Among the various NPC quests that players will come across in Elden Ring, one particularly intriguing quest is initiated by Sorceress Sellen. After being expelled from the Academy of Raya Lucaria, Sellen can be found locked in a cell in Waypoint Ruins, guarded by the fearsome Mad Pumpkin Head. Upon agreeing to study Glintstone Sorcery, Sellen starts to view Tarnished as her apprentice. However, it is only much later, during the exploration of Mt. Gelmir, that players will discover Master Azur and continue the Witch's quest. Subsequently, players are tasked with locating another Scholar for Glintstone Sorcery, Master Lusat, and assisting Sellen in finding a new vessel.

How To Start Sorceress Sellen Quest In Elden Ring

To initiate Sellen's quest, players must make their way to the Waypoint Ruins located in the western region of Limgrave. The entrance to the ruins is heavily guarded by a multitude of poisonous enemies. Once all the enemies have been eliminated, players can descend the stairs and confront the formidable Mad Pumpkin Head. Upon defeating this powerful adversary, they will then have the opportunity to ignite the Site of Lost Grace, thus unlocking the previously sealed door and granting access to the esteemed Sorceress Sellen.

Sellen, also known as the Graven Witch, will begin by introducing herself. She will then invite players to become her apprentice. Accepting this offer is vital in order to trigger Sellen's quest. The Sorcerer class will particularly benefit from this opportunity, as Sellen will impart new Spells to them each time they present her with a scroll.

Where To Find Primeval Sorcerer Azur In Elden Ring

North of the Hermit Village in Mt. Gelmir lies Sorcerer Azur, a crucial figure for Tarnished's quest. In order to enhance their navigation skills, Tarnished must obtain the map fragment. It is worth noting that Sorcerer Azur, who was once Sellen's tutor, holds the key to progressing further in the quest.

The old mage can be found just north of the Hermit Village in Mt. Gelmir. To reach it, Tarnished must circle the volcano.

Go to the Seethewater River Site of Lost Grace west of Wyndham Ruins.

Go south into the watery swamp until players reach Craftsman's Shack.

Find the Hermit Village east of the shack, up the hills.

Go north to find Sorcerer Azur.

In the northern outskirts of the village, players can discover Primeval Sorcerer Azur seated behind towering boulders. Positioned directly in front of him is a blazing bonfire bearing his name. Although he remains silent upon interaction, after a period of time, he bestows upon Tarnished the Comet Azur Spell. This powerful spell necessitates a minimum Intelligence level of 60 and occupies three valuable spell slots when equipped.

After acquiring the enchantment, players are advised to return to Waypoint Ruins and engage in a conversation with Sellen. If they thoroughly explore her dialogue, she will eventually request their assistance in locating Master Lusat, who has been banished and imprisoned. As a token of trust, Sellen bestows upon Tarnished the Sellian Sealbreaker key.

Where To Find Master Lusat In Elden Ring

Master Lusat can be found within the Sellia Hideaway cave located in the northeastern region of Caelid. To locate this elusive sorcerer, players are advised to make their way to the Church of the Plague, which is situated southeast of Caelid, and then proceed on their journey from there.

If players continue their journey northward, they will eventually come across a graveyard. Concealed behind the towering monument positioned at the heart of the cemetery lies the entrance to the Sellia Hideaway. To gain access, players must strike the illusionary wall that conceals the entrance, revealing the path that leads inside.

Once inside, light the Site of Lost Grace and prepare to fight annoying enemies.

Walk through the tunnel to reach a Summoning Pool Statue.

Go southwest past the enemy and hit the illusionary wall.

Continue northwest to hit yet another illusionary wall, then keep walking in the same direction to remove the third fake wall.

Proceed to jump northwest and then proceed east to leap onto another platform.

Approach the giant crystal beam and kill the Crystal Snail.

Drop down from the beam to reach a sealed room.

Tarnished must employ the Sellian Sealbreaker within Elden Ring to gain access and locate Master Lusat. Once there, the Sorcerer will bestow upon Tarnished the powerful Stars Of Ruin Spell. After obtaining the spell, Tarnished is required to report back to Sorceress Sellen.

Sorceress Sellen's Second Location In Elden Ring

Once players have emerged victorious over Starscourge Radahn in Elden Ring, their next task is to seek out Sellen in Waypoint Ruins. It is here that she will disclose the fact that her physical body is actually located within Witchbane Ruins, situated to the west of Weeping Peninsula. For those looking to find this location, it can be found to the south of the Fourth Church of Marika. Alternatively, players can utilize the fast-travel option to teleport to the Isolated Merchant's Shack on Weeping Peninsula and then summon Torrent to guide them northward. The Witchbane Ruins in Elden Ring are quite conspicuous and can be easily spotted from a distance.

Make sure to remain on the Spectral Steed while approaching the ruin, as it is surrounded by a treacherous Poison swamp. It is advisable to eliminate any enemies in the vicinity before proceeding further, as they have a tendency to trail behind players and launch attacks while engaged in conversation with Sellen. Upon entering the ruins, Sellen can be found in a state of captivity, bound by shackles. She will implore the players to retrieve her Primal Glintstone, which serves as her life essence, and transfer it to another vessel.

Once they have obtained the Glintstone, Tarnished must journey to the Three Sisters located in the northern region of Liurnia of the Lakes. However, gaining access to this area requires the defeat of Royal Knight Loretta. Positioned between Renna's and Ranni's Rise in the vast expanse of Elden Ring, there lie ancient ruins waiting to be explored. To commence their exploration, Tarnished should teleport to Ranni's Rise and proceed towards the northern direction. As they venture forth, they will encounter a section of the ruins comprising a lengthy platform encircled by towering columns. Concealed within this architectural marvel is a hidden entrance, cleverly camouflaged by an illusionary wall. Unveiling this concealed passageway necessitates rolling upon the obstructed entryway.

Inside the area, players will come across a radiant message left by Seluvis. Adjacent to it lies a concealed wall that can be either rolled into or attacked, unveiling additional puppets and, most significantly, Sorceress Sellen. To ultimately release her from captivity, players must present her with Sellen's Primal Glintstone.

Tarnished needs to journey to Witchbane Ruins in order to meet with Witch Hunter Jerren. In the event that he is not present, they may have to visit Redmane Castle and engage in a conversation with him before returning to the ruins.

In case players are unable to provide Sellen's Primal Glintstone to the puppet, it is recommended to teleport to Witchbane Ruins first, have a conversation with Jerren, and then proceed to interact with Sellen's puppet.
