As part of From Software's Souls series, Elden Ring retains a lot of the common gameplay features of its predecessors. While there's plenty new for players to check out, including an expansive open world and a horse to assist in both combat as well as traversal, Elden Ring features the traditional difficulty and towering boss fights fans have come to expect. However, players are not expected to go it alone, receiving help through Elden Ring's coop system or running into various NPCs while exploring.
Similar to the fan favorite character Solaire of Astoria from the very first Dark Souls, there are numerous NPC characters dotted throughout the expansive Forbidden Lands. As expected, many of them are mysterious, offering mysterious dialogue without much context to go on. However, many of them also lead to important side missions, both for the runes they offer as a reward, as well as new gear or items to help players grow stronger.
Unfortunately, it's just as easy to attack these NPC characters as it is to speak with them. For those who may have angered an NPC and locked them out of any additional help, Elden Ring does provide a way to ask for forgiveness.
What to do with Celestial Dew
Whether attacking NPCs on purpose or by accidentally pressing the wrong button, players can actively harm NPCs while playing Elden Ring. Unfortunately, friendly fire is on in this game and previously passive characters can not only die at the hands of a player, but they'll also become hostile. For certain NPCs, such as valuable merchants or blacksmiths at Roundtable Hold, this can be a massive determinent, locking players out of their assistance and gear.
Thankfully, there's a way to reverse this and ask for forgiveness. The item players will need to find is the Celestial Dew, which can be taken to the Church of Vows where the massive turtle Miriel will accept them and reverse all NPC deaths and reverse any who remain angry at the player. Simply speak to Miriel and select the Absolution option.
The Church of Vows can be found on the Eastern side of the Liurnia of the Lakes zone. It's also an important place for players who specialize in magic as Miriel is a merchant selling two spells: Magic Glintblade and Carian Greatsword.
Where to Find the Celestial Dew
While players know where to go, the next step is known how to get a Celestial Dew. Thankfully, there are a number of different ways to obtain this item, some through NPC merchants and others that can be looted from underground areas of the Eternal Cities, Nokstella and Nokran.
Merchants
Players who don't mind spending a few runes can find 1 Celestial Dew at the following merchants.
- Nomadic Merchant in Ainsel River. The cost for this item is 7,500 runes.
- Pidia, Carian Servant at Caria Manor. Players will need 5,000 runes to purchase this.
Treasure Locations
For those who want to save their runes, Celestial Dew can be found in a few different locations in the world.
- Uhl Palace Ruins - players should look for a corpse hanging off of a ledge that overlooks this palace ruins.
- Nokron, Eternal City - Another can be looted from a corpse in the corner of the very bottom of a ruin inside Nokron.
- Night's Sacred Ground - Keep an eye out for a corpse by the side of the road in this location.
