Elden Ring: How to complete Nepheli Loux’s questline

Nepheli Loux is a Tarnished who appears early in an Elden Ring adventure. Gideon Ofnir, her foster father, is looking for ways to raise him to Elden Lord, thus she works for him. Until recently, her questline seemed difficult to accomplish. It eventually gets a finale after Patch 1.03. If you visit Nepheli during Ranni's questline, don't give her the potion Preceptor Selivus provides you. It will bring her quest to a close sooner than expected.

The first leg of the mission is to find Nepheli near Stormveil Castle's Secluded Cell Site of Grace. Run past the huge and south of the Grace into a little room. She'll be standing over a Banished Knight who has died. Exhaust her dialogue and, if desired, invite her to help Godrick the Grafted with his boss fight. After beating Godrick, go to the Roundtable Hold and meet Nepheli. Speak with her near Gideon Ofnir's study, then select "About Nepheli" from Gideon's menu. Listen to him out, then chat with Nepheli once more, making sure you get through all of her dialogue.

After reaching Liurnia of the Lakes, travel to the Village of the Albinaurics to meet Albus and get the Haligtree Secret Medallion Right. Nepheli will be kneeling beneath a bridge, near a mound of bodies. Allow her to finish her dialogue here, then summon her to fight the Omenkiller world monster to the north, past the flame-spewing Perfumer adversary and Albus's pot. Return to the Roundtable Discussion Hold your breath and make your way down the stairwell near the smith Hewg. Nepheli will be kneeling on the left side of the stairwell's landing.

After you've exhausted her dialogue options, talk to Gideon and select "About Nepheli's Despair." Return to Nepheli and chat with her again. Take the portal leading to the Precipice of Anticipation from the Four Belfries. Defeat the Grafted Scion for sweet vengeance, unless it's already dead, then return to the church you first saw at the opening of the game. Find The Stormhawk King ghost on the stairwell to the right of the door.

Return to the Roundtable because these are of no immediate use. Return to Nepheli and converse with her until you're offered the choice to give her the Stormhawk King's ashes. She'll claim they look familiar and express gratitude for their presence. Continue Kenneth Haight's adventure till he returns to his fort and is searching for the legitimate heir to Limgrave.

Finally, go to Godrick the Grafted Site of Grace and enter the throne room to the north. Both Nepheli and Kenneth Haight will be present, with Kenneth remarking that since Godrick's departure, she has become the Lady of Limgrave. For improving a standard weapon to +25, Nepheli will award you with an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone.
