Ranni the Witch’s quest is one of Elden Ring’s longest questlines, and Tarnished players will need the Ring of Oath to complete it. After progressing through most of the quest, players will reach a door that can only be unlocked with the Ring of Oath. However, since there’s no item with that name in the game, finding the Ring of Oath can be a challenge for players that don’t know which ring they actually need to open the door.
The “Ring of Oath” refers to the Dark Moon Ring, which Elden Ring players can find in the boss room of Raya Lucaria Academy where they fought Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon. Unfortunately, the chest containing the Dark Moon Ring will be locked, and players will have to progress through more of Ranni’s quest to obtain the Discarded Palace Key that unlocks it. This part of the quest opens up after players defeat General Radahn and give Ranni the Fingerslayer Blade, which can be found in Nokron, the Eternal City.
After Elden Ring players give Ranni the Fingerslayer Blade, they’ll be able to access the portal at the top of Renna’s Rise, which will transport them to Ainsel River Main. Near the Ainsel River Main Site of Grace, players will find a Miniature Ranni Doll that they can speak with when they rest at this specific Site of Grace. Once they speak with it a few times, the doll will eventually ask them to kill the Baleful Shadow. Defeating this enemy will reward players with the Discarded Palace Key required to open the Dark Moon Ring’s chest.
How To Get The Dark Moon Ring In Elden Ring
Elden Ring’s Baleful Shadow can be found in Nokstella, the Eternal City south of Nokstella Waterfall Basin Site of Grace. By following the main river in Nokstella until they reach an elevator on the south side of the river, players will be able to access a long tunnel that leads to a red room where the Baleful Shadow waits. This can be a challenging fight since the Baleful Shadow can dodge quickly and drink flasks to recover health, but it’s weak to Freezing damage and can be backstabbed.
After obtaining the Discarded Palace Key from the Baleful Shadow, Elden Ring players can return to Raya Lucaria Academy to obtain the Dark Moon Ring. With the “Ring of Oath” in hand, players will finally have everything they need to complete Ranni’s quest. However, before they can reach the hidden location where Ranni is waiting, they’ll have to use the Ring of Oath to unlock the sealed door near the Grand Cloister Site of Grace, which is guarded by a boss.
Elden Ring is available on PC, Playstation 4, Playstation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox S|X.
