Preceptor Seluvis

Seluvis serves Ranni from the southern tower in Three Sisters. The potion request and hidden puppet workshop lead to optional summons and Magic Scorpion Charm, but several choices end other characters’ quests.

Locations and access

Seluvis’s Rise

Three Sisters · Seluvis’s tower

Starting Site of Grace: Royal Moongazing Grounds

  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.

Cellar beneath the ruined building

Three Sisters · Hidden workshop

When available: After entering Ranni’s service.

Starting Site of Grace: Ranni’s Rise

  1. 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.

Hollow beyond the short northern rock tunnel

Altus Plateau · Amber Starlight

When available: After the puppet conversations open his scheme.

Starting Site of Grace: Altus Highway Junction

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

Quest steps

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

  1. Begin after entering service

    Branch: Main quest

    Speak to Seluvis’s projection in Ranni’s Rise, finish the introductions and visit his own tower. Agree to the potion request.

  2. Preserve Nepheli

    Branch: Gideon disposal

    Give Seluvis’s Potion to Gideon for disposal, then report the task finished to Seluvis. This keeps Nepheli’s normal route intact.

  3. Make Nepheli a puppet

    Branch: Nepheli potion

    Give Seluvis’s Potion to Nepheli during her lower Roundtable stage after the Albinauric village events. This ends her ruler route; her puppet later replaces Pidia’s usual puppet reward.

  4. Make Dung Eater a puppet

    Branch: Dung Eater potion

    Keep Seluvis’s Potion until Dung Eater has been freed, defeated in the moat invasion and returned bound to his sewer cell. Give it to that body instead of finishing the five-curse ending.

    Progression cutoff: Arrange this before handing Ranni the Fingerslayer Blade.

  5. Find the workshop

    Branch: Main quest

    Break the illusory floor in the ruined building northeast of Ranni’s Rise. Descend and read the warning beside the puppets, then ask Seluvis about the chambers.

  6. Open puppet purchases

    Branch: Main quest

    Take his offered puppet and continue the conversations. Bring Starlight Shards, purchase another available puppet and ask about his scheme. Reload and return with another shard if the additional-puppet option has not opened.

  7. Bring Amber Starlight

    Branch: Main quest

    Find the amber pickup in the hollow beneath the Miquella and Malenia statue north of the Altus Highway Junction road. Give it to Seluvis for Magic Scorpion Charm.

    Progression cutoff: Finish this before giving Ranni the Fingerslayer Blade.

  8. Stop before betraying Ranni

    Branch: Keep Ranni’s service

    You can keep the charm and continue Ranni’s normal route without administering Amber Draught. Taking the next scheme does not improve the charm.

  9. Attempt the betrayal

    Branch: Amber Draught betrayal

    If you offer Amber Draught to Ranni, she rejects the attempt and becomes hostile to your service. Use absolution at Church of Vows if you need to repair the eligible quest hostility.

  10. Collect the ending stock

    Branch: Main quest

    After the Fingerslayer Blade handover ends his active quest, collect Seluvis’s Bell Bearing and Preceptor’s armor at his tower. Any puppet purchases must already have been properly unlocked.

Rewards and conditions

Reward or serviceConditionDetails
Puppet shop accessDiscover the cellar and resolve the potion stage.Puppet purchases use Starlight Shards rather than ordinary runes.
Magic Scorpion CharmGive Amber Starlight during the active scheme.No need to administer Amber Draught to Ranni for this talisman.
Dung Eater PuppetUse the correct bound-body potion branch and unlock the listing.Purchasing the puppet is a later interaction, not the immediate invasion reward.
Preceptor’s armor and Seluvis’s Bell BearingCollect from his final tower position.The bearing does not recreate a missed Magic Scorpion Charm quest gift.

Notes

  • Seluvis’s Potion and Amber Draught are different items with different targets. Do not interchange their instructions.
  • The Fingerslayer Blade cutoff is the handover to Ranni. You can collect the blade and leave it in your inventory while finishing Seluvis’s work.
  • Giving the potion to Gideon preserves Nepheli. Giving it directly to her ends the normal throne-room route.
  • Giving it to Dung Eater requires his bound sewer body after the moat invasion. His red appearance at the Hold is a different interaction.
  • Keep Starlight Shards for puppet purchases instead of consuming them for FP while you are arranging the shop.
  • Amber Starlight is in Altus Plateau, not a collectible hidden in Nokron.
  • His post-quest body and Bell Bearing preserve different shop functions. Do not rely on the bearing to unlock puppet or talisman steps that were never completed.
