Here is the Pinned Comment:

If I could go back and add this segment to THIS video I would, but sadly I cannot so this seems like the best solution.

CORRECTION #1: There are two optional interactions with Ranni that I missed. The first is with her Doll form at the Nokstella Site of Grace, the second is at Ranni's Chamber after getting the Dark Moon Greatsword.

CORRECTION #2: Using the Inverted Statue at the Carian Study Hall / Getting the Cursemark of Death is not necessary for Ranni's Quest. Renna's Rise should be open after giving Ranni the Fingerslayer Blade. You only need the Cursemark for Fia's questline.

PROBLEM #1: Blaidd is not in spectral form at Ranni's Rise
SOLUTION: This is likely because of defeating Radahn. Blaidd is now trapped in an Evergaol. Just speak to the other two (Iji and Seluvis) then return to Ranni. The quest should proceed as normal, skip to the Fingerslayer blade step/ Nokron Eternal City.

I'll continue to update this comment with Helpful information as time goes on.

Thanks for watching!

“You’ll just have to fight a minor boss” dude I was not expecting the Godskin noble to show up when you said minor boss

I think you miss one last step. Probably optional. You go back to Ranni's rise and rest at the top of the grace and you can talk to her. This will affect the ending dialogue of the game if you choose Ranni's ending.

I didn’t want nothing ill to happen to Blaidd and Iji, but such fate must come to them. Their deaths will never be forgotten. Blaidd helped me obtained an early powerful weapon that aid me well in the quest, and Iji helped add more strength to the high weapons and being a gentle giant as well.

this is more of a YT meta comment, but thanks for keeping this so direct without adding anything unneeded. this is a long quest line and i appreciate your guide being the shortest, as well as having the chapters noted. it makes things very easy to pick up your spot in the questline without having to wade thru a 40 minute video.

[eriksanchez]

How was I supposed to figure this all out on my own . Lmao I tried to do solo run with no help but man I got stuck on not knowing what to do. It nearly made me quit, so I gave in and came to YouTube for help. Thank you for this guide man

[grangerbrooks]

I don’t remember talking to big hat dude at all in the round table or anywhere but I just checked and he dead💀

[EMO_VR]

Here’s a cheese tactic for Astel for you: summon your spirit ash and let them sit back and relax while they watch you beat Astel pretty much single-handedly

[mitchjohansen]

This guide was fantastic. Followed it from start to finish for the entire quest and there were zero errors or confusion. Everything was spot on and a made the entire quest very smooth to complete. Just wanted to say thanks.

If you follow this questline video, there is a very important step that you must do before you hand Ranni the Fingerslayer Blade. At 5:07, after you get the Fingerslayer Blade, don't go to Ranni just yet. The Magical Scorpion Charm is one of the top 5 talismans in the game, and you can't get it once Seluvius is dead. He dies once Ranni is given the blade. You get the charm by giving Preceptor Seluvis the Amber Starlight after Seluvis tells you about his scheme, but it cannot be obtained after Seluvius' death (which occurs when the Fingerslayer Blade is given to Ranni the Witch)
This makes it the only Scorpion Charm you can lock yourself out of getting in a playthrough.

This is a 13 minute video but I’ve been watching it for the past like 6-7 hours and thanks to you, I have completed ranni’s quest! I did this one before but didn’t get the dark moon great sword so I had to do it again😭 great tutorials!(this one and seluvis)

[moonshroom]

9:44 I loved learning his attack patterns, especially dodging it's laser at the last second, and frantically looking around for his surprise attack. 9/10 would fight again.

[thebeatts]

Thank you for the excellent guide. I've kept it open in a tab for probably the last week or two as I've slowly made my way through this quest in between other adventures. Really appreciate how accurate and to-the-point this was.

[LyraniaLothar]

One thing I found creepy/amazing is the way you find Ranni once you’re done with the dragon. The hole leading up to her seems so crude, you’d expect ladders or something but rather it seems like it was being dig. I think that upon seeing Ranni the Fingers attempted to escape, if you look closely it seems as if they couldn’t dig any deeper.

I also wonder why Ranni was without her dress and two arms laying limp, that I’m afraid I can’t even begin to imagine, you can however tell that (the face on the doll at least) seemed at peace, though it seems that the doll is not hosting her soul as you can’t see the ethereal face that you usually see.

2 years on from making this video and I could not have completed this quest line without the guide. Much appreciated!

[futuristicbus]

Thank you SO MUCH for this guide! You go over every step, and how to approach the steps if your at a certain part of the game, plus somehow you made this into a 14 minute video instead of a multiple hour one. Truly doing the lords works.

[jy]

Nice guide! Very precise and not needlessly long.

[TheRealburberryblend]

When a 14 minute video takes you two days XD appreciate the hard work that went into this. Had a blast with this quest!

[nestormartinez]

For anyone that’s new to ER like me if you have the sleep pots formula for item crafts the god skins are really easy with a blood build

[vio]

13 minutes of ranni's quest. straight to the point! thank you very much sir🧢
