<\/p>\nTake these steps in the Nepheli Loux quest to earn the Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The lengthy Elden Ring Nepheli Loux questline earns you an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone, and mainly takes place in Limgrave and Liurnia. It’s a more direct quest of middling difficulty, though it’ll take you a little while to complete certain objectives along the way, so don’t expect to breeze through it.<\/p>\n
We’ll start off with Nepheli Loux’s location in Elden Ring, and cover the location of the ashes she wants you to hunt down, as well as how to find her at the end and get the special weapons she’s sitting on. That being said, it’s important to remember that you’ll have to how to beat Morgott in Elden Ring, as the Omen King has to be killed before you can complete this questline. Otherwise though, here’s all the Nepheli Loux questline locations in Elden Ring, with a full walkthrough to complete her quest like a pro.<\/p>\n
The Nepheli Loux questline in Elden Ring has locations around Limgrave and Liurnia mainly, with visits to Stormveil, the Village of the Albinaurics, and even a few confrontations in the Roundtable Hold itself.<\/p>\n
The first thing you need to do is locate Nepheli in Stormveil Castle. Start at the Liftside Chamber Site of Grace and head east, up the steps past the bird enemies, and into a small room off the right. It\u2019s past the large spiky wooden barricades.<\/p>\n
She\u2019ll be standing in front of some barrels. The image above shows her location \u2013 we just already met her before, which is why she isn\u2019t there in the picture. Speak with her and exhaust her dialogue.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The next time you’ll encouter Warp to the Roundtable Hold after defeating Godrick the Grafted, and speak with Gideon in the main room. He\u2019s the masked fellow with the hunched back on the right side. You might\u2019ve already spoken with him, so if he\u2019s not there, don\u2019t panic.<\/p>\n
After that, rest at the Roundtable Site of Grace, and take the left path just before the Twin Maiden Husks, who you’ll be familiar with if you’ve been visiting any of the Elden Ring Bell Bearing locations that bulk out their stock. Here, you\u2019ll see Nepheli standing next to a table with a lit candle. Again, we already completed this step in the image above, but if you haven\u2019t, she\u2019ll be right next to the table. Speak with her and she\u2019ll give you the Arsenal Charm.<\/p>\n
From the Roundtable Hold, warp to the Village of Albinaurics. This area is on the south side of Liurnia, southwest of the Cathedral of Manus Celes. This is a spooky area that contains lots of cliffs, so be careful. From the Village of Albinaurics Site of Grace, head east towards the spot on the map above and you\u2019ll find Nepheli sitting next to a stone wall. Speak with her. If she isn\u2019t appearing, try resting until nighttime.<\/p>\n
Next, head up the large hill next to the Village of Albinaurics Site of Grace and take a left across a large bridge. This area will dead-end at the Omenkiller boss fight. You must defeat this enemy to progress.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re stuck, use your horse and the cliff nearby to cheese the boss. After you eliminate the boss, you\u2019ll get the Crucible Knot Talisman.<\/p>\n
Keep in mind, the map above is slightly misleading since the boss isn\u2019t actually at the Cathedral of Manus Celes. Instead, the boss is found beneath this location, east from the Village of Albinaurics Site of Grace.<\/p>\n
Warp back to Roundtable Hold, take a right past the blacksmith, down the stairs, and you\u2019ll find Nepheli against a wall. Speak with her and she won\u2019t have much to say. It\u2019s worth mentioning that if you have the potion from Seluvis\u2019 questline, you should not give it to Nepheli, as it will end the quest at this point.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Rest at a Site of Grace and speak with Gideon in the library, which is off the left path. You\u2019ll see him sitting at a table. Speak with him and choose the \u201cNepheli\u2019s despair\u201d option. If the library isn\u2019t open, try speaking to the Finger Reader Enia in the back room first.<\/p>\n
Go back to Nepheli, speak with her, and select the \u201cheard from Gideon\u201d option. Then, exhaust her dialogue.<\/p>\n
Next, you\u2019ll want to make your way to the Four Belfries area on the west side of Liurnia. Specifically, the tower right next to the Site of Grace has a chest with a Swordstone Key.<\/p>\n
Grab it, then head to the easternmost Tower down the hill and use the Swordstone Key to unlock the portal. Take this portal to an island off the coast of Limgrave.<\/p>\n
Then, follow the path ahead, defeat the boss, and continue south towards the building. Cross the bridge, and take the steps on the left that lead to an entrance to the Chapel of Anticipation. Don\u2019t actually go in the main entrance to the building though. Instead, take a right and you\u2019ll find a path that leads up to a second floor outside. Here, you\u2019ll find The Stormhawk King sitting on the right, across from another entrance to the building<\/p>\n
Return to Nepheli in Roundtable and give her The Stormhawk King. If it isn\u2019t letting you give her the item, make sure you have the option to upgrade Ashes by progressing through Roderika\u2019s questline enough.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
After that, defeat Morgott in the Capital within Atlus Plateau. Make no mistake, this is a tricky boss fight, Even if it does looks like Margit again, the attacks have had a massive upgrade.<\/p>\n
That said, if you have the Mimic Ashes, the Starscourge Greatsword, and lots of vigor to keep you alive, you should be able to take him down. If not, make sure you level up and gather powerful items to help you take down this boss as he’s a real bottleneck to progress. Some enemies are there for the challenge, this one is top make sure you can’t continue until you’re ready. You can also use Margit’s Shackle to take him temporarily out of the fight, a useful advantage.<\/p>\n
For the final step, visit the Godrick the Grafted Site of Grace in Stormveil Castle, and head north to the large circular room. Here, you should find Nepheli sitting by a throne. Speak with her and she\u2019ll reward you with one of the incredibly rare and valuable Elden Ring Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones.<\/p>\n
The other criteria to get Nepheli to spawn is that you need to have finished Kenneth\u2019s questline, and Maliketh the Black Blade must still be alive. Players have reported needing to rest at the nearby Site of Grace multiple times to get Nepheli to spawn.<\/p>\n
