Can You Do Seluvis Quest After Beating The Game

Can You Do Seluvis Quest After Beating the Game?

So, you’ve finished the main story of Elden Ring, conquered the Elden Beast, and claimed your title as Elden Lord (or perhaps a different ending!). But, a nagging feeling persists: what about Seluvis? That shady sorcerer with a penchant for puppets and questionable potions. Did you miss out on his questline? The short answer is: maybe. It’s not a simple yes or no, and your actions during your playthrough affect whether you can still dive into his story. Let’s get into the specifics.

Understanding Seluvis’s Questline

Seluvis’s quest is tied to a few things, making it easily missed. It’s a side quest, not directly related to the main story, and it has specific triggers and conditions. First off, you will find him hiding in Ranni’s Rise as an illusion, and then you will find his real body and then start his questline. It’s not just about going to one place; it’s about doing certain things in a specific order. Let’s look at what you need to do to trigger and proceed in his quest:

• Meeting Ranni the Witch: Seluvis’s quest is tied to Ranni’s quest. You need to meet Ranni at Ranni’s Rise at Three Sisters in Liurnia of the Lakes.
• Serving Ranni: After meeting Ranni, you must agree to serve her. This unlocks new NPCs at the Roundtable Hold and gives you access to the rest of Ranni’s quest.
• Finding Seluvis’s Hidden Body: You don’t initially meet Seluvis in his real form. You will encounter him as an illusion first and after completing a few steps you find his real body. His actual body is hidden, and you’ll need to find it to start his personal questline. It’s usually located in a hidden part of his tower.
• Following his requests: After you meet him in his physical form, Seluvis will give you some tasks. Most of these tasks are focused around getting potions for some NPCs or bringing him amber starlight.
• Dealing with puppets: Seluvis also has an interest in turning people into puppets. He asks you to bring him the Amber Starlight to create his puppets.
• Choosing a side: During his quest you will have some hard choices to make which can affect the story line. It may also lock you out of completing other quests.

Key Elements of the Quest

Seluvis’s quest involves more than just simple fetch quests. It involves themes of manipulation, ambition, and moral ambiguity, reflecting the wider tone of Elden Ring. Here are a few key elements:

• Potions and Puppets: He is constantly working on creating special potions and puppets, and he will ask your help to get the ingredients and to conduct his plans.
• Ethical Dilemmas: Some of his quests put you in difficult situations, testing your moral compass. You will have to make some hard decisions which may affect the outcome of his quest.
• Hidden Lore: Exploring his quest reveals more about the lore of the Lands Between, especially the more hidden and darker parts.

The Impact of Finishing the Game

Now, to the core question: can you still do this after finishing the main storyline? The answer is yes and no, depending on some specific factors.

Ranni’s Quest and Game Endings

The major factor in this is Ranni’s questline. Her quest is interconnected with Seluvis’s, and a specific Ranni ending may lock you out of his quest, though not in all cases. Let’s break it down:

• The Age of Stars Ending: If you completed Ranni’s quest and chose the “Age of Stars” ending, Ranni will leave the Lands Between. This will affect Seluvis and his questline. Even though he’s dead by that point in the game, you can’t complete his story after you trigger this ending, because he will be dead.
• Other Endings: If you chose other endings (like Elden Lord or Frenzied Flame), you can usually do his quest if you haven’t completed it.

The Seluvis Death Factor

Seluvis is not the most careful person. He tends to end up dead as you continue in Ranni’s questline. This doesn’t happen as an immediate consequence, so there’s a window to complete his quest even if you’ve done other questline, but the window isn’t open forever. Here’s the deal:

• His Death Event: Seluvis will eventually die as part of the Ranni questline, usually after reaching certain progress milestones.
• Before His Death: As long as he’s alive, you can progress in his questline after you completed main story and choose some of the other endings than age of stars ending.
• After His Death: Once he’s gone, you can’t continue his quest or complete it. However, if you did complete it before his death, you will still receive all the rewards.

Steps to Take After Beating the Game

Okay, so you have beaten the Elden Beast, and you are here trying to complete Seluvis’s quest. How do you approach it after beating the final boss? Here are the things you need to keep in mind when completing his quest:

Check your Progression

First, check your progression in Ranni’s questline and if you already meet Seluvis or not. If you have not even met him, you should visit Ranni’s rise and then find Seluvis’s hidden body:

• Talk to Ranni: If you haven’t done it already, go to Ranni’s Rise and accept her offer to serve her. This will begin her questline and allows you to meet Seluvis.
• Visit the Seluvis tower: After this first step you have to go to his tower, which can be found to the south of Ranni’s Rise.

Prioritize Seluvis

If he is alive, prioritize the Seluvis quest before continuing other questlines like Ranni’s quest. Here’s the approach:

• Talk to Seluvis: Visit his hidden body and talk to him about his plans and then work on it.
• Complete his tasks: Do what he asks to progress his story. Remember, his quest involves getting potions and some other requests.
• Be mindful of his death triggers: Watch out for milestones in other quests, especially Ranni’s, that might cause Seluvis to die.

What if Seluvis is Already Dead?

If Seluvis has already passed away, then you are out of luck. The quest cannot be finished after his death. However, the rewards from him are not much important, and usually do not affect the overall gameplay.

• Check for Items: If you completed any part of his quest you will still get the items. Check your inventory for the items you have gained through his story.
• No New Game Plus: If you are out of luck, then the only way to complete his quest is by starting a New Game Plus playthrough.

Specific Scenarios and How to Deal With Them

Let’s take a closer look at some specific situations you might find yourself in, after beating Elden Ring and you are trying to complete Seluvis quest:

Scenario 1: You Haven’t Met Seluvis Yet

Great! You are in an ideal place to start his quest after finishing the game. Here’s what to do:

1. Go to Ranni’s Rise and begin her quest.
2. Travel to his tower and find Seluvis’s hidden body.
3. Accept his initial request and start the quest.
4. Complete each step before progressing too far in Ranni’s quest.

Scenario 2: You Started Ranni’s Quest but Not Seluvis’s

You are in the middle ground where you can still complete his quest, but you have to pay extra attention. You should immediately shift focus to Seluvis:

1. Go to his tower and talk to Seluvis.
2. Complete all his tasks before going to other major quests.
3. Pay attention to the Ranni’s quest progress, since it may affect him.

Scenario 3: You Completed Ranni’s Quest and Chose the Age of Stars Ending

Unfortunately, this is the scenario where you have the lowest chances of completing his quest. Here’s what the situation is:

• Seluvis is definitely dead.
• You can’t start or continue his quest.
• You will have to make another play through in NG+ if you wish to complete his quest.

Scenario 4: You Completed the Game with Other Endings

Good news! You can still complete his quest. Here are some tips:

1. Check if Seluvis is alive. If he is, then start or continue his quest.
2. Complete the quest before progressing in Ranni’s quest too much.
3. Remember that you can easily complete his quest in this situation.

What You Gain From Seluvis’s Quest

Why bother with Seluvis anyway? While not crucial to the main story, his quest provides some unique items and lore:

Rewards

• Puppets: You can get a few puppets for your character which are quite unique and powerful.
• Potions: You can get some special potions that are beneficial to your gameplay.
• Lore: You get a better understanding of the hidden lore in the Lands Between.

Is it Worth It?

Whether Seluvis’s quest is “worth it” depends on your play style. If you’re interested in completing all side content and delving into the dark lore of Elden Ring, then yes. If you are looking for extremely useful items to help in the battles, then you may not find them very useful. His questline can be fun, but ultimately it’s up to you.
