Ranni the Witch also known as Lunar Princess Ranni is a character in Elden Ring. She is one of the Demigods, and the focus of one of the game's most elaborate questlines.

Background

Ranni and her Dark Moon

Originally known as Lunar Princess Ranni, she was the daughter of Radagon, a champion of the Golden Order, and Queen Rennala, head of both the Carian Royal Family and the Academy of Raya Lucaria. She had two older brothers, Radahn and Rykard.

Ranni was also an Empyrean, meaning she had the potential to one day succeed Queen Marika as the divine ruler of the Lands Between. The Two Fingers chose her as a potential successor and granted her a Shadow by the name of Blaidd to be her vassal. He was approved of by Rennala, and was raised as her foster brother. Ranni grew up playing with Blaidd, and they were often accompanied by Iji, a troll blacksmith who served the Carian royals.

Led by the hand of her mother Rennala, young Ranni would encounter her Dark Moon. What she beheld was cold, dark and veiled in occult mystery. Deep in the woods, she would also encounter a snowy crone, known simply as the "Snow Witch", who would go on to become her secret mentor. She was an old witch well versed in cold-based sorceries, and she taught Ranni to fear the dark moon as she imparted her magic. The full Dark Moon, cold and leaden, would become Ranni's sigil and symbol of her power and authority.

At some point, Ranni's father would abandon her mother in order to marry Queen Marika and assume the title of second Elden Lord. Ranni and her siblings were thus raised to demigod status by their new stepmother.

The Night of Black Knives

Ranni slew her body to evade the Two Fingers

Although the Two Fingers had chosen her as Marika's successor, Ranni did not wish to be a puppet for the Greater Will and resented her Empyrean fate. In order to escape it, Ranni stole a fragment of the Rune of Death from Maliketh, the Black Blade, and through fearsome rite, imbued it into the blades of Numen assassins close to Queen Marika herself. She also gave a fragment to her brother Rykard as a last resort, so he could kill Maliketh if necessary. Ranni plotted for the assassins to kill another individual while she simultaneously killed herself, slaying her own body while the other person died in spirit, thus freeing herself from being an Empyrean.

In what would become known as the Night of Black Knives, the assassins murdered Godwyn the Golden, killing him in spirit, while Ranni killed herself in body, transferring her spirit into a doll said to be modeled after the image of her mentor, the Snow Witch. This marked the step-siblings as the first demigod casualties in history. Ranni's fate and her involvement in the plot remained largely unknown by the denizens of the Lands Between.

The Shattering

Ranni and her consort

At some point after the Night of Black Knives, Queen Marika shattered the Elden Ring. Ranni claimed a Great Rune, but appears to have discarded it, and largely remained outside of the conflict that followed. As a consequence of her doll body, Ranni required extended periods of hibernation and withdrew from the world, hiding in the Carian Manor while her agents worked to bring about her plan of ridding the Lands Between of the influence of the Greater Will, allowing her to pursue her divine ascension on her own terms.

Long after the Shattering, when the Tarnished return to the Lands Between, Ranni hears of a Tarnished champion hurtling about on a spectral steed gifted to them by Melina. Ranni approaches them at a site of grace, asking if they indeed have the spectral steed. She'll then give the Tarnished the Spirit Calling Bell, noting Torrent's former master had entrusted her with giving it to the next owner.

The Tarnished champion, for their own purposes, makes their way into the Carian Manor and comes face to face with Ranni once again. Ranni accepts the Tarnished into her service and bids them to find a way into Nokron, hoping to claim its treasure; a weapon with which she could kill the Two Fingers who had chosen her as an Empyrean. The champion manages find their way into Nokron and secures the city's treasure for Ranni, whereupon she departs to Nokstella. The champion finds her there and she compels the champion to rid her of the Shadows sent by the Two Fingers to kill her. With the last Shadow defeated, Ranni rewards her champion with the keys to a chest containing a ring intended to be bestowed to her future consort, and achieves her goal of slaying the Two Fingers.

Should the Tarnished champion find the ring and give it to Ranni, she will take the champion as her new consort, and grant them a greatsword as a symbol of their union. She will reveal to them the full extent of her plan: to succeed Queen Marika as god and usher in her "Age of the Stars", removing herself far from the Lands Between to journey out into the cosmos, allowing its inhabitants to have free will over their own choices and live their lives without the interference of the Greater Will. After defeating the Elden Beast, the Tarnished is able to summon Ranni and usher in her age if they so choose.

Questline Progression

Ranni introduces herself as Renna for her first meeting with the Tarnished

Completing Ranni's questline will unlock the Age of the Stars ending.

1. (Optional) Church of Elleh
   • After meeting Melina and obtaining the Spectral Steed Whistle, use Torrent at least once. After that, rest on any Site of Grace. Then, fast travel to the Church of Elleh Site of Grace and find Ranni (using the pseudonym "Renna") sitting on a broken wall. Exhaust her dialogue to receive the Spirit Calling Bell and Lone Wolf Ashes for free.
   • If you miss this step, these items will be available for purchase at the Twin Maiden Husks in Roundtable Hold -- 200 runes for the Lone Wolf Ashes and 1,000 runes for the Spirit Calling Bell respectively.
2. Ranni's Rise
   • Ranni can next be encountered on the top floor of Ranni's Rise, accessible by clearing Caria Manor. This stage varies depending on whether you have defeated her brother, Starscourge Radahn, or given Sorcerer Rogier the Black Knifeprint.
   • Agree to become one of Ranni's vassals, and then head back down the tower to speak to the projections of Iji, Blaidd, and Seluvis. After speaking to all three, return to Ranni and speak to her again. After this point, if you return to Ranni she will be sleeping, and non-responsive.
3. Nokron, Eternal City
   • Nokron can only be accessed after defeating Radahn. Proceed through the area and obtain the Fingerslayer Blade, which is in a chest north-east of the Night's Sacred Ground Site of Grace.
   • Bring the Fingerslayer Blade to Ranni, who will give you the Carian Inverted Statue. This key item is required for Fia's questline, however it is not necessary to complete Ranni's questline.
     • WARNING: This will immediately end Preceptor Seluvis's quest.
4. Ainsel River
   • Renna's Rise will now be open after giving Ranni the Fingerslayer Blade. Enter and climb to the top, and go through the sending gate to the upper portion of Ainsel River.
   • Pick up the Miniature Ranni near the spawn point and rest at the Ainsel River Main Site of Grace. Use the "Talk to miniature Ranni" option three times to get her to speak.
   • (Optional) Ranni will also have dialogue at the Nokstella, Eternal City and Nokstella Waterfall Basin Sites of Grace. These are not required to continue her questline.
   • Defeat the Baleful Shadow invader just past the Nokstella Waterfall Basin Site of Grace to obtain the Discarded Palace Key. Go to Rennala's boss room in Academy of Raya Lucaria and unlock the chest to obtain the Dark Moon Ring.
5. Moonlight Altar
   • Defeat Astel, Naturalborn of the Void at the end of the Lake of Rot and travel up the lift. This lift only unlocks if you have obtained the Dark Moon Ring.
   • Travel to the Cathedral of Manus Celes and descend through the tunnel near the altar to find Ranni sitting on the corpse of her Two Fingers. Interact with her to trigger a cutscene. After the cutscene, speak to her again and she will disappear, leaving behind the Dark Moon Greatsword.
6. Leyndell, Ashen Capital
   • After defeating the final boss, there will be a blue summon sign on the Stone Platform. Interact with it to summon Ranni, allowing you to achieve the Age of the Stars ending.

Notes

• Ranni's dead Empyrean body can be found atop the Divine Tower of Liurnia and still possesses one half of the Cursemark of Death.
  • Examining it closely reveals hints of red hair on her head, appropriate for a daughter of Radagon.
• The Stargazer Heirloom can be found on her body as well, seemingly a memento of her mother Rennala.
• Ranni's original body has two arms, while her doll body has four. It is thus similar to Miquella the Kind and the Marionette soldiers utilized by Sorcerers through the game.
• When in her doll form at Ranni's Rise, she is sitting on-top of a bunch of books covered by a piece of fabric, making her seem taller than she appears. She also applies the same trick when she introduces herself as "Renna", sitting on a ruin of a low wall in the Church Of Elleh.

Trivia

• Prior to the release of Elden Ring, Ranni narrated the Story Trailer and was referrer to as the Storyteller and the Snow Witch in promotional material.
• The dialogue spoken by Ranni during the Age of the Stars ending differs between English and Japanese. Although it is not a direct translation, the overall message is maintained.

English Dialogue
When approached at Church of Elleh
This way, Tarnished.
May I have a word?
If talked to at Church of Elleh
A pleasure to meet thee, Tarnished.
I am the witch Renna.
I'd heard tell of a Tarnished hurtling about atop a spectral steed.
And upon looking into the matter,
the talk, I surmise, is of thee.
Thou'rt possessed of the power, no?
To call forth the spectral steed named Torrent.
"I can call the spectral steed"
Ah. As I had hoped.
I was entrusted this, for thee.
By Torrent's former master.
Tis a bell for calling forth spirits.
Summon them with it, from ash unreturned to the Erdtree.
The spirits will obey thine command but briefly, as they recall battles past.
Now it is thine. To do with as thou wishest.
If talked to again
Forgive mine intrusion, Tarnished.
I doubt we shall again meet. But all the same, learn well the Lands Between.
How long will it be, I wonder...
Before the Tarnished tire of obeisance to the Two Fingers?
...
"I cannot call the spectral steed"
Trifle not with me, Tarnished.
Or didst thou merely forget?
The name of the spectral steed thou callest?
After selecting "I cannot call the spectral steed"
I will ask thee again.
Thou'rt possessed of the power, no?
To call forth the spectral steed named Torrent.
Refusing to tell her a second time
Quite the stubborn one, aren't we?
Wise, in a way. The Lands Between are home to liars and cheats aplenty.
Perhaps thine ample mistrust will be to thy benefit.
I shall leave this for thee, at the behest of Torrent's former master.
Take it, shouldst thou overcome thy suspicion.
During Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon's phase 2 cutscene
Upon my name as Ranni the Witch.
Mother's rich slumber shall not be disturbed by thee.
Foul trespasser.
Send word far and wide.
Of the last Queen of Caria, Rennala of the Full Moon.
And the majesty of the night she conjureth.
If talked to at Ranni's Rise (first encounter)
Mm? a Tarnished, here?
Thou must have some business in mind, to come all this way.
Though I have no memory of inking thee an invitation.
If talked to at Ranni's Rise (if previously encountered)
Oh, again we cross paths.
I believe I said my name was Renna, when last we met.
It pleaseth me to see Torrent hale and hearty...
But Tarnished, what business hast thou here?
I have no memory of inking thee an invitation.
"No particular reason"
Hah!
No reason in particular, thou claimest?
Intriguing. Then mayhaps fate hath steered thee to this encounter. (First encounter)
Intriguing. Then mayhaps fate hath steered thee to this reunion. (Second encounter)
...
Wilt thou enter into my service?
I am the witch Ranni. I stole Death long ago, and search now for the dark path.
That I might one day upend the whole of it, and rid the world of all that came before.
Well? Has that roused thy interest?
"Serve Ranni the Witch"
I see. A choice well made.
Thou'rt a rare sort. Not many would have accepted the offer.
But I require as much of those under my command.
I anticipate good work from thee.
"Do not serve"
I see. More's the pity.
Come to me again, shouldst thou change thy heart.
Surrendering thyself into the service of a doll-witch...
Is not as frightful as thou fearest...
If talked to again after refusing to serve
Ah, art thou persuaded to my cause?
Then, again I shall ask, wilt thou enter into my service?
"You must be Ranni the Witch, behind the Night of Black Knives" (must progress Rogier's questline)
I see. Quite the sleuth, aren't we.
Indeed, I am the witch Ranni.
I stole a fragment of the Rune of Death, and used it to forge the godslaying black knives through fearsome rite.
I did it all.
But sadly for thee, the cursemark thou seekest is not to be found here.
I have slain the body I was born into, and cast it away.
And it is upon that flesh the cursemark is carved.
"Where did the body go?"
Hah!
And why should I reveal that to thee?
I performed the act not to bury the past, nor in shame of the deed,
but all the same, thy begging compels me not a jot.
The cursemark thou seekest is not here. That is all I will say.
Now, begone.
If talked to again
The cursemark thou seekest is not here. That is all I will say.
Now, begone.
"I wish to serve you" (must progress Rogier's questline)
Oh, is that so?
Thou wouldst render me aid, is that thy proposal?
Affording thyself opportunity to grope about for the cursemark's location, no doubt?
...
Very well...
There's nothing wrong with a well-laid scheme.
What's more, if my past and past wounds beckon to thee,
I am curious enough to see what thy destiny portends...
I'll allow it. Enter my service.
And good hunting to thee.
After entering Ranni's service (before Radahn Festival)
Good, then I ask we proceed with haste.
There is, in my service, a half-wolven warrior by the name of Blaidd.
I would have thee join him in searching for the hidden treasure of Nokron, the Eternal City.
I have called for Blaidd to greet thee below. Take from him the particulars.
Ah, and there wilt thou find Iji, my war counselor, and Seluvis, preceptor in the sorcerous arts, also.
Heed not their peculiarities; feel secure in gaining from them what advantage thou canst.
I am sure the others will be doing just the same.
If talked to again
Speak with the three who await thee below.
Thou needst not indulge them unduly, but they too wish to appraise thy worth.
It hath been a passing long time since a newcomer entered my service, after all.
After entering Ranni's service (after Radahn Festival)
Good, then I ask we proceed with haste.
Art thou aware of the star that struck Limgrave?
It left a vast crater, and through it lieth the Eternal City of Nokron.
Go there to find the city's hidden treasure.
Ah, yes. Iji, my war counselor, and Seluvis, preceptor in the sorcerous arts, can be found below.
Like thee, they are in my service.
Heed not their peculiarities; feel secure in gaining from them what advantage thou canst.
I am sure the others will be doing just the same.
After speaking to Blaidd, Iji, and Seluvis
Ah, allow me to forewarn thee.
I shall soon enter my slumber.
And it will be some time before I wake.
This doll's body is not without its hindrances...
Still, I have high hopes for thee.
I look forward to the good news when I arise.
If talked to again
I shall soon enter my slumber.
And it will be some time before I wake.
I have high hopes for thee.
I look forward to the good news when I arise.
After obtaining the Fingerslayer Blade
Ahh...It was thee.
Not Blaidd, it seemeth.
Even in my slumber, I sensed it.
It is in thy possession, is it not? The hidden treasure of Nokron?
My thanks. Finally, all the pieces are in place.
Soon must I begin my journey. Upon the dark path only I may tread.
If talked to again (progressed Rogier's questline)
Ah, but before I leave, I must entrust thee with this.
Take it.
My discarded flesh lieth beyond the seal unlocked by it.
Upon which is carved the cursemark of thy desire.
I can fathom what thy purpose might be.
Neither of us is welcomed by the brighter path, I see.
You may leave now.
It was but brief, but thou gavest me fine service.
If talked to again
What is it?
Thy purpose in approaching me was to obtain the cursemark, was it not?
You may leave now.
I, too, am to depart on a journey. Upon the dark path only I may tread.
If talked to again (did not progress Rogier's questline)
Ah, but before I leave, I shall entrust thee with this.
My thanks, for thy sterling efforts.
A strange gift, perhaps, but a rare sort such as thee would welcome it, I am sure.
I am certain now, fate steered us to our reunion.
I am certain now, fate steered us to our first encounter.
I must thank Torrent too, for his part.
You may leave now.
It was but brief, but thou gavest me fine service.
If talked to again
What is it? You may go.
I, too, am to depart on a journey. Upon the dark path only I may tread.
Talk to miniature Ranni (first time)
...
Oh? A dogged fellow, aren't we?
Or is it merely thy habit, to talk to dolls?
Fine...fine.
I hadn't expected any soul to recognise me in this guise.
But now the cat is out the bag, I cannot allow thee thy freedoms.
Perform for me a service, as recompense.
Eliminate the Baleful Shadows which prowl these lands.
The name of Ranni the Witch is already sullied by thee.
I will not brook disobedience in this matter.
If talked to again
Perform for me a service, as recompense.
Eliminate the Baleful Shadows which prowl these lands.
The name of Ranni the Witch is already sullied by thee.
I will not brook disobedience in this matter.
Talk to miniature Ranni (second time)
Let us speak of the past, a while.
I was once an Empyrean.
Of the demigods, only I, Miquella, and Malenia could claim that title.
Each of us was chosen by our own Two Fingers, as a candidate to succeed Queen Marika, to become the new god of the coming age.
Which is when I received Blaidd. In the form of a vassal tailored for an Empyrean.
But I would not acquiesce to the Two Fingers.
I stole the Rune of Death, slew mine own Empyrean flesh, casting it away.
I would not be controlled by that thing.
The Two Fingers and I have been cursing each other ever since...
And the Baleful Shadows...are their assassins.
If talked to again
I turned my back on the Two Fingers and we have each been cursing the other since.
The Baleful Shadows...are their assassins.
Talk to miniature Ranni (third time)
Even when I turned my back upon the Two Fingers.
Blaidd remained my loyal ally.
Heh.
Though he was created a vassal for an Empyrean,
He was a colossal failure, on the part of the Two Fingers.
Blaidd, and Iji both... Art willing to give too much to me.
Yet they both understand. What lieth beyond the dark path...
That I must betray everything, and rid the world of what came before.
Ah, should I add thee to the list?
Another one, kind of heart. As kind of heart as they.
If talked to again
Ach, this form hath loosened my tongue.
I've let slip too much.
Forget what thou'st heard. Forget.
During Baleful Shadow encounter
O Shadow, thou'rt the last.
Tell the Two Fingers,
That Ranni the Witch cometh, to rend thy flesh.
With a fateful wound, ne'er to heal.
After Baleful Shadow encounter
Beautifully fought.
My thanks. 'Twas more of a challenge than I envisioned.
Now I can finally stand before them.
This is farewell, my dear.
Tell Blaidd, and Iji...
I love them.
After putting on Dark Moon Ring
So, it was thee, who would become my Lord.
Perhaps I needn't have warned thee.
I am pleased, however. Thou'rt a fitting choice.
I go now, to the night sky. It is there I shall find mine order.
I bid thee travel the path of the Lord.
And once all is done, we shall see each other, once more.
Talk to miniature Ranni (Ranni's Chamber Site of Grace)
...
I take it thou'st noticed? I shouldn't be surprised.
I thought I might expound a little further...
Upon the order I envision.
Mine will be an order not of gold, but the stars and moon of the chill night.
I would keep them far from the earth beneath our feet.
As it is now, life, and souls, and order are bound tightly together, but I would have them at a great remove.
And have the certainties of sight, emotion, faith, and touch...
All become impossibilities.
Which is why I would abandon this soil, with mine order.
Wouldst thou come to me, even now, my one and only Lord?
If talked to again
Mine will be an order not of gold, but the stars and moon of the chill night.
And I would abandon this soil, with mine Order.
Wouldst thou come to me, even now, my one and only Lord?
After defeating the Elden Beast and summoning Ranni
...The battle is over, I see.
I do solemnly swear.
To every living being, and every living soul.
Now cometh the age of the stars.
A thousand year voyage under the wisdom of the Moon.
Here beginneth the chill night that encompasses all, reaching the great beyond.
Into fear, doubt, and loneliness...
As the path stretcheth into darkness...
Well then. Shall we?
My fair consort, eternal.
Variation of final two lines if spoken to at Ranni's Chamber Site of Grace
Let us go, together.
My dear consort, eternal.
If given Amber Draught
Well, this is a most unpleasant awakening.
The depths of wickedness never fail to surprise me.
I am saddened. That thou wouldst succumb to such depravity.
Led astray by Seluvis, with devious tonic in hand,
Didst thou think to have thy way with me?
Be gone. Hapless scum.
I won't have another whiff of thy rotten breath.
If talked to again after attempting to give Amber Draught
I have spoken. Away from my sight.
If talked to a third time after attempting to give Amber Draught
This is the third time, fiend.
Enough of thy unbearable breath.
If talked to a fourth time after attempting to give Amber Draught
What hopest thou to profit?
...
To think such was thy plot.
Well, I refuse to indulge thy fantasies.
I relinquished a natural death long, long ago.
...
If attacked (Church of Elleh)
What hopest thou to profit?
...
No sense in arguing, I see.
Thou'rt a wild one, indeed.
Torrent hath quite the ruffian chosen...
...
If attacked (Cathedral of Manus Celes)
What hopest thou to profit?
...
Hmph.
So, this is the measure of my Lord?
Perhaps it is precisely what I deserve.
…For surrendering myself to delusion.
...

あれの穿った大穴の先に、永遠の都、ノクローンがある
そこに赴き、見つけて欲しいのだ。ノクローンの秘宝を
ああそれと、軍師のイジー、魔術教授のセルブスが階下にいるはずだ
二人ともお前と同じように、私に仕えている
癖のある者たちだが、気が向けば利用するがよい
…きっと彼らも、そうするだろう
After speaking to Blaidd, Iji, and Seluvis
…ああ、ひとつ伝えておこう
私はもうすぐ、眠りにつく
暫くは目覚めないだろう
人形の身体とは、かくもままならぬものなのだ
…そして、期待しておこう
次の目覚めに、吉報がもたらされていることを
If talked to again
私はもうすぐ、眠りにつく
暫くは目覚めないだろう
…期待しておこう
次の目覚めに、吉報がもたらされていることを
After obtaining the Fingerslayer Blade
…ああ、お前だったか
ブライヴでは、なかったのだな
分かっている。眠りの中でも、感じられたよ
手に入れたのだろう？ノクローンの秘宝を
感謝する。これで、ようやく全てが揃った
後は、私が行くだけだ。私だけの暗き路を
If talked to again (progressed Rogier's questline)
…さて、旅立ちの前に、お前に渡さなければならないな
持っていくがよい
それが解く封印の先に、私が棄てた身体がある
お望みの呪痕も、そこに刻まれていよう
…お前が何をするつもりか、ぼんやりと想像もつく
お互い、明るい路は行けぬようだな
…もう、行くがよい
短い間だったが、よく仕えてくれたな
If talked to again
…どうした？
呪痕を求め、私に近付いたのだろう？
もう、行くがよい
私も旅立とう。私だけの、暗い路に
If talked to again (did not progress Rogier's questline)
…さて、旅立ちの前に、これを渡しておこう
この度の、見事な働きの礼だ
…奇妙な品だと思うだろうが、奇人のお前なら、きっと気に入るだろう
しかし、やはりあの再会は運命であったな
しかし、やはりあの出会いは運命であったな
トレントにも、感謝を伝えておかなければな
…もう、行くがよい
短い間だったが、よく仕えてくれたな
If talked to again
…どうした？もう、行くがよい
私も旅立とう。私だけの、暗い路に
Talk to miniature Ranni (first time)
………
…ええい。お前、存外しつこい奴だな
それとも、人形に話しかける趣味でもあるのか
…ああ、もうよい
こんな姿は、誰に知られるつもりもなかったが
…知られてしまったからには、逃がしはしないぞ
お前には、協力してもらおうか
この地にいる、災いの影を探し出し、消し去るのだ
…魔女ラニを辱めたのだ
否とは、言わせんからな
If talked to again
…お前には、協力してもらおうか
この地にいる、災いの影を探し出し、消し去るのだ
…魔女ラニを辱めたのだ
否とは、言わせんからな
Talk to miniature Ranni (second time)
…少し、昔話をしようか
…私は、かつて神人だった
デミゴッドの中で、ミケラとマレニア、そして私だけが
それぞれの二本指に見出され、女王マリカを継ぐ、 次代の神の候補となったのだ
だから、私はブライヴを授かった。神人の特別な従者としてな
…そして私は、二本指を拒んだ
死のルーンを盗み、神人たる自らの身体を殺し、棄ててでも
私は、あんなものに操られたくはなかったのだ
…それ以来、私と二本指は、お互いを呪っている
災いの影とは、あやつの刺客なのだよ
If talked to again
…私は二本指を拒み、それ以来お互いを呪っている
災いの影とは、あやつの刺客なのだよ
Talk to miniature Ranni (third time)
…私が、二本指を拒んだ時
それでもブライヴは、私の味方でいてくれた
フフッ
神人たる私の、特別な従者であるというのに
二本指にしてみれば、とんだ出来損ないだったろうな
…ブライヴも、イジーも、私には過ぎた者たちだよ
知っているはずなのにな。私の行く暗い路の先を
私がいつか、すべてを裏切り、棄てることを
…ああ、お前も加えるべきだったか？
お人よしということでは、奴らとよい勝負だろうしな
If talked to again
…この姿だと、どうにも気が緩むな
余計なことを喋ってしまった…
忘れろ。いいな
During Baleful Shadow encounter
…影よ。お前が最後だ
二本指に伝えるがいい
魔女ラニが、お前に刻みに行くと
決して癒えぬ、運命の傷を
After Baleful Shadow encounter
…見事な戦いだった
感謝する。手間をかけさせてしまったな
だが、これでやっと、あやつに至れる
…お別れだな、お前
ブライヴとイジーに、伝えてくれ
…愛していると
After putting on Dark Moon Ring
…お前が、私の王だったのだな
忠告など、無駄なことだったか
…だが、嬉しいよ。私の王が、お前でよかった
私は夜空に行く。私の律がそこにある
お前は、王の道を歩んでくれ
そして、互いに全てが終わったとき、再び見えるとしよう
Talk to miniature Ranni (Ranni's Chamber Site of Grace)
...
…やはり気付くか。さすがだな
もう少し、話しておこうと思ってな
私の律について
私の律は、黄金ではない。星と月、冷たい夜の律だ
…私はそれを、この地から遠ざけたいのだ
生命と魂が、律と共にあるとしても、それは遥かに遠くにあればよい
確かに見ることも、感じることも、信じることも、触れることも
…すべて、できない方がよい
だから私は、律と共に、この地を棄てる
それでも、付いてきてくれるのだろう？ただ一人の、私の王よ
Note: Rather than "I would have them at a great remove", it could be better spoken as "It could be (kept) far away."
If talked to again
私の律は、黄金ではない。星と月、冷たい夜の律だ
…そして私は、律と共に、この地を棄てる
それでも、付いてきてくれるのだろう？ただ一人の、私の王よ
After final boss
…すべて、終わったのだな
私は誓おう
すべての生命と、すべての魂に
これよりは星の世紀
月の理、千年の旅
すべてよ、冷たい夜、はるか遠くに思うがよい
恐れを、迷いを、孤独を
そして暗きに行く路を
さあ、行こうか
…永遠なる、私の王
Variation of final two lines if spoken to at Ranni's Chamber Site of Grace
さあ、共に行こう
…永遠なる、私の王よ
If given Amber Draught
…不快な目覚めだ
思いあがった下卑には、いつだってうんざりさせられる
…残念だよ。まさかお前から、そんなものを感じるとは
セルブスごときに唆され、のこのこと卑劣な薬を持ち込んで
私をどうかできると、本気で思ったのか？
…消えろ。下郎
もう二度と、私の前で臭い息を吐くな
If talked to again after attempting to give Amber Draught
…消えろと、そう言ったぞ
If talked to a third time after attempting to give Amber Draught
…三度目だぞ、下郎
うんざりだ。お前の息は臭すぎる
If talked to a fourth time after attempting to give Amber Draught
なんのつもりだ？
...
…なるほど、これが狙いか
だが、残念だ。お前の期待には、応えられぬ
尋常の死など、とうの昔に棄てたのだよ
...
If attacked (Church of Elleh)
なんのつもりだ？
...
…問答無用というわけか
意味もなく、猛きことだ
トレントも、とんだ匹夫を選んだものよ…
...
If attacked (Cathedral of Manus Celes)
なんのつもりだ？
...
…ハハッ
なるほど、これが私の王か
確かに、これこそ相応しいことだ
…一体何を期待していたのだ、私は…
