Chelona's Rise is a location in Elden Ring that players will be able to access after making significant progress on Ranni's quest line. As is the case with a number of the game's towers, the entrance to this one is initially blocked by a seal, and fans must seek three great wise beasts in order to open it. This guide will detail the precise locations of those large phantom turtles and help players gain access to Chelona's Rise in Elden Ring.

Before showcasing these locations, though, it is important to mention that players are reportedly encountering a bug that prevents them from seeing some great wise beasts. It is recommended that fans that are experiencing this issue return to the tome next to Chelona's Rise and interact with it several times, causing the "seek three great wise beasts" instruction to repeatedly appear. These players are also advised to avoid using fast travel or resting at a Site of Grace in Elden Ring until they have unlocked the tower.

  1. Starting at the tower, Elden Ring players should travel in a southwestward direction until they arrive at the edge of the nearby cliff. The first great wise beast is clinging to the side of that cliff, and fans should hit it with an attack of their choosing.
  2. Players should now travel eastward until they arrive at the position that is marked on the map that is above. This position is at the edge of a cliff, and fans should look down and to the left to see the second great wise beast. Again, if the turtle is not there, players should go back to the Chelona's Rise tome, interact with it repeatedly, and return to this location.
  3. For the final great wise beast, fans should summon Torrent in Elden Ring, ride northwest toward the Ringleader's Evergaol, and look for the Spirit Spring in the position marked on the map. Players that wait in this position should eventually see the phantom turtle fly overhead, and they can use the spring to hit it. The beast can also be dispatched with a ranged attack if preferred.

After seeking these three great wise beasts, players should find that the seal that was preventing entrance into Chelona's Rise is gone, and they can now go inside. At the top of the tower, fans will find a chest that contains Ranni's Dark Moon. This powerful Elden Ring sorcery launches a "cold, dark moon" at enemies, and many players will be glad to add it to their arsenals of spells.

Elden Ring is available on PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Xbox One and Series X|S.
