More Elden Ring because it’s all I care about right now. I am going to talk about an NPC questline I just finished, which means there will be MASSIVE spoilers because, well, I think it’s obvious why. So here is your warning that the whole post will be filled with spoilers that span the whole game. Still here? Then let’s get to it.
The questline is Ranni’s, known as the Snow Witch, and she’s the one who gives you the spirit summoning bell in the beginning of the game–but only if you visit the Church of Elleh at night. She is, by the way, one of my favorite NPCs–along with Blaidd, her warrior dude. He’s half-wolf, and he is BAE. It’s actually his questline that starts hers, and it’s his questline that I missed. You go to an area called the Mistwood Ruins and hear wolf howls. Then, the next time you talk to Kale, the nomadic merchant in the Church of Elleh, he tells you about his friend, the half-wolf. Kale gives you the finger snap emote, which he says to use the next time you hear the howling.
Great! Wonderful. Of course, I went to find the half-wolf man, but I could not find the spot where I had heard the wolf howls. In part, it was because I was fleeing from angry bears, tbh. I looked and looked, but could not find the half-wolf man, so I reluctantly gave up.
