In order for players to complete Ranni's lengthy questline in Elden Ring and earn the Dark Moon Greatsword, they will have to engage in battle against a peculiar being known as the Baleful Shadow. This will be required in order to do so. Following the completion of this questline, players will be able to acquire the Dark Moon Greatsword. This foe is exclusive to Elden Ring and the only place you can meet them is there. Ranni gives the player the objective of killing this monster at a certain point in her quest because it is guarding an important item that is required to finish the witch's arc in the story. The item in question is required to finish the story. This is due to the fact that the Baneful Shadow is concealed in a location that is extremely tricky to reach. This is due to the fact that the player's visibility of it is contingent on their successful completion of a number of requirements that have been predetermined. The information was most recently brought up to date on August 3rd, 2023. Players will not only need to make their way to Nokstella, the Eternal City, but they will also need to find their way to a specific location that is off the beaten path in order to find the spirit.
They won't be able to locate the ghost until after that, and only then will that be possible. In light of how challenging it can be to locate the location of the Baleful Shadow, this guide has been updated to include the most recent information.
Nokstella, also known as the Eternal City, can be reached by following these instructions on how to use the Elden Ring
There is no way to ever leave the Eternal City of Nokstella, which is a destination in and of itself
The only way for players to accomplish this is to vanquish the Dread Shadow
Before players can access this region of the game, they will need to make a significant amount of progress throughout the game (unless they want to be locked into a specific ending, in which case they can skip this requirement)
Players can bypass this requirement if they want to be locked into a specific ending
The unfortunate implication of this is that gaining access to this region is much easier to do in theory than it actually is to do in practice
Traveling through Nokron, Eternal City, which is a region that can only be accessed once players have defeated Starscourge Radahn, is the best way to get from Nokron, Eternal City to Nokstella, Eternal City
This is the correct path to take when traveling from Nokron, Eternal City to Nokstella, Eternal City
After the challenging boss has been vanquished, a crater will appear to the south of the Mistwood Ruins
This crater will be visible from a distance. She will allow them access to Renna's Rise within the Three Sisters after they have proven to her that they are knowledgeable in the subject matter. The distance between these two locations is not particularly great; the Eternal City of Nokstella is not overly distant and can be reached on foot in a reasonable amount of time. If you are looking for a more in-depth guide to getting to the small underground city that has been concealed, you should check out the link that has been provided to you. To obtain the Miniature Ranni Doll, the first thing that players will need to do is open the coffin that can be found at the beginning of the Ansel River Main area. This will allow them to access the Miniature Ranni Doll. Following the path that leads to the main area of the Ansel River will bring players to the location of the coffin. Once a player has obtained this doll, they are obligated to travel to any Site of Grace and engage in conversation with the statue that can be found at that location. Before they can proceed with the story, they will need to finish this first.
Both of these locations can, without any complications, be visited at the same time as one another. If the players are able to successfully navigate the cave while keeping an eye out for the three Basalik foes, they will arrive at a location that has a reddish hue when they reach their destination.
