The snowy crone, also known as the snow witch, is an unseen character in Elden Ring. She was the secret mentor of Ranni the Witch.[1]
Background[]
The snowy crone was a heretical witch who practiced forbidden magic deep within the woods.[2][3] She taught these cold sorceries to Lunar Princess Ranni in secret,[1] and warned the young Carian to beware the dark moon.[4]
Characteristics[]
The snowy crone was described as an elderly woman dressed in clothing as white as the snow itself.[5] She wore a heavy cloak of gray furs and a frozen hat with a wide brim and pointed tip.[2] The blue, four-armed doll inhabited by Ranni's soul was modeled after the crone's likeness.[6]
Notes[]
- Of the spells imparted by the old snow witch,[7] three are obtainable in-game: Freezing Mist, Frozen Armament, and Glintstone Icecrag.
- The icy, wide-brimmed hat and white robes Ranni wears once belonged to the snow witch.[3]
- After Ranni resumes her empyrean journey, the Snow Witch set may be found in Renna's Rise.
- When initially encountered at the Church of Elleh, Ranni will introduce herself as Renna the witch.[8]
- The snowy crone may have a connection to the sorcery of the Zamor people.[Note 1]
Trivia[]
- Crone refers to "an ugly old woman".
