Locations and access

Three Sisters ruins and Seluvis’s Rise

Liurnia of the Lakes · Puppet workshop

Starting Site of Grace: Ranni’s Rise

Search the ruins northeast of Ranni’s Rise for the illusory floor. Descend and inspect the puppet chamber, then discuss it with Seluvis at his own tower.

Balcony above Manor Lower Level

Liurnia of the Lakes · Pidia’s final pickup

Starting Site of Grace: Royal Moongazing Grounds

Give Fingerslayer Blade to Ranni. This causes Seluvis's death and Pidia's puppet attack. Return to Three Sisters for the roof descent.
Leave Royal Moongazing Grounds through the northern exit into Three Sisters. Turn left and follow the cliff edge until you find a blue Cerulean Tear Scarab above Caria Manor's roofs.
Look below the cliff for the roof you can safely drop onto. Drop down, then use the wooden platforms along the building's side to descend to the lower roof.
Find the opening in that roof and climb down the ladder. Pidia is on the balcony directly above the Manor Lower Level grace, but this balcony is reached from the roof.
Once the puppets have killed Pidia, loot his body on the balcony for Dolores and his bell bearing. If Nepheli received the potion, this body gives her puppet instead; arrange Dolores from Seluvis's shop on that branch.

Quest steps

Quest steps can include different outcomes. Read the branch, conditions and cutoffs before making a choice.

Preserve the default Pidia reward
Branch: Main quest
Keep Nepheli from drinking Seluvis’s Potion. After handing Ranni the Fingerslayer Blade and triggering the puppet attack, descend from Three Sisters to Pidia’s balcony and loot his body.
Alternative shop branch
Branch: Nepheli potion
If Nepheli received the potion, arrange Dolores through Seluvis’s puppet shop before the blade handover. Pidia’s eventual puppet will be Nepheli instead.

Rewards and conditions

Reward or service	Condition	Details
Dolores the Sleeping Arrow Puppet	Loot Pidia after his puppet attack if Nepheli did not receive the potion.	On the Nepheli-potion branch, arrange Dolores through Seluvis’s shop instead. Pidia’s body then gives Nepheli’s puppet.

Notes

Pidia’s balcony is above Manor Lower Level, but is reached from the rooftops outside Three Sisters.
Giving the potion to Nepheli changes Pidia’s puppet reward. Do not promise both puppets from the same body.
Sleep only helps against enemies that can be affected by it. Dolores is not a guaranteed way to disable every boss.
Her bow behavior and puppet item are distinct from a living archer quest.
