Hermit Merchant (Ainsel River)

The lower Ainsel River merchant shelters in Uhl Palace Ruins beneath the hanging stone-throwing enemy.

Locations and access

Ainsel River · Camp shop

Starting Site of Grace: Ainsel River Downstream

Take the lift in Ainsel River Well on the eastern Liurnia plateau to reach the underground river.
Follow the ant tunnels and the lower Uhl Palace route to the large chamber where a hanging creature fires stones from above.
Use the stone ruins as cover and enter the building beneath the creature. Find the merchant inside, rather than climbing toward the enemy.

Reward or service	Condition	Details
Notable shop stock	Purchase while the merchant is alive.	Nomadic Warrior’s Cookbook [16], Perfumer’s Cookbook [4], Celestial Dew and Prisoner clothing.
Hermit Merchant's Bell Bearing [3]	Dropped if this particular merchant dies.	Give it to the Twin Maiden Husks to transfer remaining stock. It is not required for shopping at the camp.

Use Ainsel River Well in eastern Liurnia. Ranni’s later access to Ainsel River Main is a different approach and is not required for this camp.
Gravity Stone Fans and Chunks are limited here. Unlimited supplies come from the separate peddler unlock.
These goods are purchases. You do not need to kill the merchant or complete a separate quest to open this camp’s ordinary shop.
Limited stock stays limited when its Bell Bearing is handed to the Twin Maiden Husks. Buying an item first does not leave a second copy in the transferred shop.
This character’s personal shop unlock must be obtained again in a new journey. It is separate from the material bearings that retain their delivered unlocks.
The Ainsel River map fragment is nearby beneath the same palace structure. The map pickup is separate from the merchant’s inventory.
