Sorceress Sellen is an NPC in Elden Ring. Should players accept to be her student, Sellen will become a merchant that teaches Spells. Throughout her quest, Tarnished can find her in multiple locations, and she will lead them to her real body when they finally earn her trust. To reach that phase, several tasks must first be completed.

Unlike Ranni the Witch and Fia, the Deathbed Companion, Sellen's questline won't unlock a special ending in Elden Ring. However, it will award players with new Armor sets and some Spells. Getting hold of these rewards won't be easy though, as both the sets and Spells are scattered across the Lands Between.

Updated on June 23, 2023, by Nahda Nabiilah: Among the many NPC quests Tarnished will encounter in Elden Ring, the one initiated by Sorceress Sellen is definitely strange. Being kicked out of the Academy of Raya Lucaria, Sellen can be first encountered in Waypoint Ruins locked in a cell guarded by Mad Pumpkin Head. Upon accepting to study Glintstone Sorcery, Sellen starts to consider Tarnished her apprentice. It isn’t until much later when Mt.Gelmir is explored and Master Azur is located does the Witch’s quest continue. Later on, players are tasked with finding another Scholar for Glintstone Sorcery, Master Lusat, as well as helping Sellen find a new vessel.

How To Start Sorceress Sellen Quest In Elden Ring

To start Sellen's quest, players should travel to Waypoint Ruins in western Limgrave. There are a lot of poisonous enemies guarding the ruins entrance. After killing them all, players should use the stairs to go down and beat the Mad Pumpkin Head. They'll then be able to light the Site of Lost Grace and open the closed door to be greeted by Sorceress Sellen.

Sellen will first introduce herself as the Graven Witch. Then, she'll ask if players wish to become her apprentice. It's crucial to accept for Sellen's quest to be triggered. The Sorcerer class will benefit from this more than most, as she'll teach them new Spells each time they give her a scroll.

Where To Find Primeval Sorcerer Azur In Elden Ring

Sorcerer Azur is north of the Hermit Village in Mt. Gelmir. Tarnished will have to get the map fragment for better navigation. Primeval Sorcerer Azur used to be Sellen's tutor and will need to be found in order to continue with her quest.

The old mage can be found just north of the Hermit Village in Mt. Gelmir. To reach it, Tarnished must circle the volcano.

  • Go to the Seethewater River Site of Lost Grace west of Wyndham Ruins.
  • Go south into the watery swamp until players reach Craftsman's Shack.
  • Find the Hermit Village east of the shack, up the hills.
  • Go north to find Sorcerer Azur.

In the far north of the village, players can spot Primeval Sorcerer Azur sitting behind giant rocks. Also, a bonfire with his name is right in front of him. He won't speak upon interacting with him, but, after a while, will give Tarnished the Comet Azur Spell. It requires 60 Intelligence and needs three spell slots to be equipped.

After obtaining the spell, players should go back to Waypoint Ruins and speak with Sellen. If they exhaust her dialogue, she'll eventually ask them to find Master Lusat who's been exiled and locked away. Sellen then gives Tarnished the Sellian Sealbreaker key.

Where To Find Master Lusat In Elden Ring

Master Lusat is inside the Sellia Hideaway cave in northeast Caelid. To find the sorcerer, players should head to the Church of the Plague southeast of Caelid and travel from there.

If they keep going north for long enough, players will eventually reach a graveyard. Behind the large monument in the middle, is the entrance to the Sellia Hideaway. It's an illusionary wall, so players will need to hit it before they can go inside.

Once inside, light the Site of Lost Grace and prepare to fight annoying enemies.

  • Walk through the tunnel to reach a Summoning Pool Statue.
  • Go southwest past the enemy and hit the illusionary wall.
  • Continue northwest to hit yet another illusionary wall, then keep walking in the same direction to remove the third fake wall.
  • Turn right towards the crystal beam and drop north to the one under. Try to complete this step quickly as an annoying enemy will spam Glintstone Spells in Elden Ring at players.
  • Jump northwest, then go right to jump on another platform to the east.
  • Approach the giant crystal beam and kill the Crystal Snail.
  • Drop down from the beam to reach a sealed room.

Tarnished will have to use the Sellian Sealbreaker in Elden Ring to get inside and find Master Lusat. The Sorcerer will give Tarnished the Stars Of Ruin Spell, after which, they should report back to Sorceress Sellen.

Sorceress Sellen's Second Location In Elden Ring

After defeating Starscourge Radahn in Elden Ring, players should talk to Sellen in Waypoint Ruins. She'll reveal that her actual body is in Witchbane Ruins, west of Weeping Peninsula. Players can find the location south of the Fourth Church of Marika. Alternatively, fast-travel to the Isolated Merchant’s Shack (Weeping Peninsula) and summon Torrent to proceed north. The Witchbane Ruins in Elden Ring can be easily seen from a distance.

Make sure to stay on the Spectral Steed as the ruin is surrounded by a Poison swamp. Moreover, it’s best to kill the enemies before venturing down as they will follow players and attack while talking to Sellen. Upon entering the ruins, they'll find Sellen shackled. She'll ask them to take Sellen's Primal Glintstone, which is her life essence, and give it to another body.

Once they've received the Glintstone, Tarnished will need to travel to the Three Sisters in the far north of Liurnia of the Lakes, which is only accessible after defeating Royal Knight Loretta. There are ruins between Renna's and Ranni's Rise in Elden Ring. They should teleport to the latter and then go north. One part of the ruins will appear immediately, which is a long platform surrounded by columns. The secret entrance is somewhere in the middle, covered up by an illusionary wall. Revealing the hidden entrance requires rolling on the blocked entrance.

Inside, there's a glowing note that Seluvis left. Next to it is a hidden wall that players can roll into or attack to reveal more puppets, and, more importantly, Sorceress Sellen. Players should give her Sellen's Primal Glintstone to finally free her.

Now, Tarnished must travel to Witchbane Ruins to speak with Witch Hunter Jerren. If he's not there, they may need to go to Redmane Castle and exhaust his dialogue there before coming back to the ruins.

If by any chance players are unable to give the puppet Sellen's Primal Glintstone, teleport first to Witchbane Ruins, speak with Jerren, and then interact with Sellen’s puppet.

How To Complete Sorceress Sellen Quest In Elden Ring

The final step is to travel to the Grand Library in Raya Lucaria Academy. This location is Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon boss room in Elden Ring. From here, Tarnished must go outside to where the lift is and find two summon signs: gold and red. Each one has different outcomes, so they'll need to choose wisely.

  • Gold: Summon Sellen to defeat Witch Hunter Jerren
  • Red: Summon Witch Hunter Jerren to beat Sellen

If Tarnished choose the red summon and help Jerren kill Sellen, they'll receive:

  • Witch's Glintstone Crown
  • Sellen's Bell Bearing: Give it to the Twin Husk Maidens in Roundtable Hold to buy Sellen's Spells
  • Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone: Upgrade Material used to refine weapons to level +25

Meanwhile, choosing gold will lead to the following outcome:

  • Obtain the Eccentric Armor Set after defeating Jerren, the Witch Hunter
  • Sellen will be standing in the library in Rennala's place. Exhaust her dialogue to receive the Glintstone Kris
  • Sellen will add the Shard Spiral Spell to her shop

After exhausting Sellen's dialogue inside the Grand Academy, players should reload the area and Rennala will take her place back. From there, players can explore these places to find the following items:

  • Witch's Glintstone Crown: Sellen's headset that can be found in the Grand Library left of where Rennala is sitting. It increases Intelligence and Arcana by three
  • Azur's Glintstone and Lusat Armor Set from Azur's and Lusat's original location respectively

Sellen will stay inside the Grand Library in Raya Lucaria Academy instead of Rennala until players find Lusat.

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