Seluvis's Amber Starlight reward

Liurnia of the Lakes / Altus Plateau

Starting Site of Grace: Ranni's Rise

Before you go

• Enter Ranni's service.
• Complete Seluvis's scheme before giving Ranni the Fingerslayer Blade.

1. Reach the western Liurnia road and follow it north through Kingsrealm Ruins. Strike the illusory wall blocking the road at the northern end, then continue past Iji at Road to the Manor.
2. Ride toward the large manor while avoiding the magical strikes falling along the approach. Activate Main Caria Manor Gate grace at the entrance.
3. Inside, follow the courtyard path northwest toward the building in the far corner. Fingercreepers hide among the plants and beneath the ground; do not stop on a buried hand.
4. Enter the building with the seated spirit and climb its stairs to Manor Lower Level grace.
5. Take the elevated walkways east and continue straight along the main route at the first junction. Spectral soldiers appear along the bridges. Reach the far building and take its lift up to Manor Upper Level.
6. Leave the upper grace, pass the wolves in the garden and climb the main stone stairway toward the Troll Knight and sorcerers.
7. Continue up the stairs beyond the troll and Pages to the large circular courtyard. Defeat Royal Knight Loretta, then activate Royal Moongazing Grounds grace.
8. Leave Loretta's arena through the northern exit into Three Sisters. Visit Ranni's Rise to the west, agree to serve her, speak to the projections downstairs and speak to Ranni again before leaving.
9. Visit Seluvis's Rise south of Ranni's tower and accept the potion task. Keep Ranni's Fingerslayer Blade handover for after any puppet purchases you still need.
10. Resolve the potion request. Giving it to Gideon at Roundtable Hold for disposal preserves Nepheli's normal quest; return to Seluvis and report that the task is finished.
11. Find the ruined building northeast of Ranni's Rise and strike or roll across its false floor. Descend into the puppet cellar and read the message warning against touching Seluvis's puppets.
12. Return and ask Seluvis about his chambers. Choose the first puppet, then continue his dialogue to open additional puppet purchases for Starlight Shards. If the new-puppet dialogue is missing, collect another shard and reload before speaking again.
13. Purchase another available puppet and ask about the scheme. He requests Amber Starlight from Altus Plateau.
14. Reach Altus Plateau with both Dectus Medallion halves from Fort Haight and Fort Faroth, or defeat Magma Wyrm Makar at Ruin-Strewn Precipice. Activate Altus Highway Junction where the roads divide toward the capital and the northern plateau.
15. Follow the highway east from Altus Highway Junction. Before committing to the large capital staircase, take the northern branch and look for the narrow path turning north through a short rock tunnel.
16. Follow that tunnel into the enclosed hollow with Land Octopuses and Sacramental Buds. Collect Amber Starlight beneath the statue of Miquella and Malenia. The flowers around it are separate pickups.
17. Return to Seluvis and hand over Amber Starlight through dialogue. Finish the conversation and receive Magic Scorpion Charm. Do this before giving Ranni the Fingerslayer Blade.

Notes

• Increases magic damage by 12% against enemies and 8% against other players. Incoming physical damage increases by 10% from enemies and 15% from players while equipped.
• Eligible magic weapon attacks, skills, spells and damaging items can benefit. It boosts the magic component, rather than every damage type produced by a spell.
• Fire or physical sorceries do not gain the magic-damage bonus merely because a staff cast them. A weapon with mixed physical and magic damage gains the bonus only on its magic portion.
• Can stack with Magic-Shrouding Cracked Tear. The physical penalty remains active outside casting animations and can make melee mistakes more costly.
• Obtain it from Seluvis before giving Ranni the Fingerslayer Blade. His bell bearing does not restore this unfinished quest reward after he dies.
• Giving Seluvis's potion to Gideon for disposal allows this scheme to continue without sacrificing Nepheli. You can stop once Seluvis hands over the talisman; giving Ranni the later Amber Draught is unnecessary.
• With Magic-Shrouding Cracked Tear's 20% bonus, its 12% enemy-damage bonus gives 34.4% more eligible Magic damage, before any separate changes from defenses. The bonuses multiply rather than adding to 32%.
• You can collect Amber Starlight before Seluvis asks for it. The important deadline is his reward conversation before Ranni receives Fingerslayer Blade, rather than the moment you pick up the amber.
