An Elden Ring player has discovered a new dialogue option with Blaidd the Half-Wolf. It's no secret that Elden Ring is a massive game. With players spending hundreds of hours in the Lands Between, charging through the different regions on their quest to become Elden Lord, there are plenty of side activities they can do to distract them from that main goal. Elden Ring is full of dungeons, caves, and mini-bosses that players can encounter in the overworld, but for those who love to lose themselves in the lore of the world and characters of FromSoftware titles, there are plenty of lengthy side quests too.
One of the longest side quests in Elden Ring is Ranni's questline. Players first meet Ranni under her pseudonym Renna, at the church of Elleh towards the very beginning of the game. Later on, in Liurnia, Ranni reveals her real identity to the player and asks for their assistance in discovering the ancient city of Nokron. A lot of Ranni's questline in Elden Ring can be completed fairly early on, but it does take the Tarnished through some rough areas like the Lake of Rot, so it is best taken at a slower pace until a gamer reaches a higher level.
At the beginning of the quest, players will be tasked with meeting Blaidd the Half-Wolf, a fan-favorite Elden Ring character. Deep in Siofra River, players can meet Blaidd, who says he cannot find a path to Nokron. From there, it is recommended by Blaidd that the Tarnished meet up with Seluvis, who then recommends the advice of Elden Ring's Sorceress Sellen. However, user RitterAlbrecht has discovered another path to figuring out how to get into Nokron, as they noticed a dialogue option regarding the story of War Counselor Iji.
Iji is another NPC tied to Ranni's questline in Elden Ring, and he also prompts players to go and kill General Radahn similarly to Sellen. This dialogue option is a trickier one to get, as it means that Elden Ring players have to meet up with Castellan Jerren at Redmane Castle before the start of the Radahn festival. Players get some new dialogue with Blaidd for putting in this extra legwork and they can also find out more about the Redmanes' connection to the Carian Royal Family in Elden Ring's lore.
While RitterAlbrecht's discovery is an interesting one, it doesn't change much about the overall arc of Ranni's questline. However, for fans of the witch, there are plenty more rewards to get by helping her reach the Age of Stars, including what is considered by some to be the best ending for Elden Ring.
Elden Ring is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
