Sellen's Primal Glintstone

About this item

Glintstone from within the sorceress Sellen's body.

Seemingly half-alive, blood vessels are visible within.

In essence, a primal glintstone is a sorcerer's soul. If transplanted into a compatible new body after their original body dies, the sorcerer will rise again.

"My apprentice, do you think it distasteful?"

Shackled Sellen in Witchbane Ruins cellar

Weeping Peninsula

Starting Site of Grace: Fourth Church of Marika

Before you go

• Defeat Starscourge Radahn and advance Sellen's request about her real body.

1. Find Waypoint Ruins east of Agheel Lake in Limgrave. Enter the cellar among the ruined walls, defeat the Mad Pumpkin Head and open the door behind its arena. Speak to Sellen and agree to study with her.
2. From Erdtree-Gazing Hill on Altus Plateau, ride north through Wyndham Ruins and enter the valley beside Mt. Gelmir at Seethewater River. Follow the valley north, then around the mountain toward Seethewater Terminus.
3. At Fort Laiedd, continue south along the outside of the fort toward the lava pool. Follow the bank around the Magma Wyrm instead of entering the fort; defeating the wyrm is not required.
4. Keep following the mountain path past Hermit's Shack and the nearby Runebear, then continue to Craftsman's Shack and Hermit Village. The enemies along this route are separate from the pickup, so keep moving if you do not want those fights.
5. Go through the village and past Demi-Human Queen Maggie to the seated sorcerer with the green crystal head beside Primeval Sorcerer Azur grace. Interact with him and wait through the pause to receive Comet Azur. Do not attack him.
6. Return to Sellen at Waypoint Ruins. Show her Azur's sorcery, agree to journey with her and continue her dialogue about Lusat until she gives you the Sellian Sealbreaker.
7. From Church of the Plague in eastern Caelid, head northeast to the graveyard at the cliff. Find the large headstone guarded by a battlemage and strike the cliff directly behind it to uncover Sellia Hideaway.
8. Activate the cave grace and follow the miners' tunnel. Strike the false walls blocking the way until you reach the large cavern crossed by long crystals. Do not drop into the first deep pit with the Royal Revenant.
9. Cross the long crystal bridge, step down to the lower crystal near its far end and reach the rock ledge. Jump the gap ahead and follow the cavern wall until another descending crystal comes into view on your right.
10. Look for the crystal snail on that descending crystal. Use the crystals below it to descend into the second pit, then deal with the sorcerer guarding the blue seal at the bottom.
11. Interact with the blue seal while carrying the Sellian Sealbreaker. Follow the passage and speak to Lusat to receive Stars of Ruin. The three Crystalian bosses are elsewhere and do not have to be defeated for this room.
12. Report Lusat's location to Sellen at Waypoint Ruins and finish her dialogue. After defeating Starscourge Radahn, ask about her real body and agree to help with her next request.
13. Travel south from Fourth Church of Marika to Witchbane Ruins on the western Weeping Peninsula. Enter the cellar and speak to the shackled Sellen. Take Sellen's Primal Glintstone when she asks; attacking her is not part of this step.

Notes

• Carries Sellen's essence to the replacement body in the hidden Three Sisters cellar. It is a quest item, not a casting tool, upgrade material or spell-damage buff.
• Take it by talking to the shackled Sellen when she asks. The painful animation is part of her request; you do not need to attack the chained body.
• The replacement body is behind a second illusion in the puppet cellar. Revealing the floor only opens the staircase; strike the rear wall downstairs to reach the body.
• Interact with that body to place the glintstone. It is not handed to Ranni, Seluvis or Jerren, and it cannot be used to revive any arbitrary dead character.
• After the transfer and Jerren's progression, the final choice takes place outside Raya Lucaria Grand Library after Rennala. The gold sign helps Sellen, while the red sign challenges her.
• The transfer does not force you to take either final side. Helping Sellen preserves her special dagger, Shard Spiral purchase and the primeval outfits; challenging her gives her bearing and Jerren's separate stone reward.
