it's very funny that she'll just offer you job unless you're after the cursemark. like "hey tarnish i've never met/never been particularly vested in, wanna become my unpaid intern? there's a dogman downstairs if you agree"
I’d like to think that Ranni offers you a job because she remembers that she left a giant dragon in her front yard and this random guy was just able to waltz into her tower.
Too bad that logic kinda falls apart because this is how almost any meeting with a new NPC goes. So many of them immediately invite you into some sort of group with almost no knowledge of our player besides he exists. I suppose that kind of makes sense because there are only like 10 regular humans (and not beasts or fucked up anthropomorphic eldritch horror) on the entire continent
@@monhi64I mean, we can't forget that the Tarnished is, at the very minimum, a remarkable person and warrior and to even reach these people they have to overcome some insane challenges
I’m not sure if I’d call the Rogeir quest encounter angry, she seems more annoyed that you figured out her past plans. Like when you think you’re being clever and someone outsmarts you. It’s similar to (trying to avoid spoilers) her tone when you find her inhabiting another body.
@@Brandon_Y. I never got started on that quest with him so I didn't even know he had stuff to do with ranni until I was finished her questline I just wandered around liurnia, found iji and went the direction he said would be dangerous, was lots of fun
She also gets kind of funny about it when you return to her after that too. Basically admitting that she appreciates a fellow schemer, and to her own morbid curiosity about you.
I mean, It's like going up to j Edgar Hoover and saying that you know he killed Martin Luther King. Like you told him how he did it. I feel like he'd be pretty pissed too. The point of a conspiracy is that nobody's supposed to actually figure out the actual conspiracy.
I like that she's down to take you up on your service after you make it clear you just want the cursemark. She almost respects you for being ulterior because she knows she is too.
@@legendoflink5882 She kills him regardless because Seluvis aka Pidia always planned to betray Ranni regardless of whether or not he loops the Tarnished into his scheme to turn Ranni into a puppet. I suspect that's why you when you release Blaidd from the Evergoal he talks of needing to take care of a traitor. Given that Seluvis was actually a puppet controlled by the Albanauric Pidia, the location of the amberstarlight shard he has you retrieve, and Miquella becoming the champion of the Albanaurics I think he might have been a agent working for Miquella the whole time I mean talked Lorreta into siding with him over the Carians its not crazy to think he might have done the same with Pidia/Seluvis too.
Interesting fact, the voice actress for Ranni is the voice of Mio in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. She's a great actress, she can easily go from voicing a witch with an ominous aura to a funny british cat girl. Is even more impressive that the 2 games she voiced in 2022 where nominated for GOTY
On my first play through I sorta just waltsed over there mostly through happenstance, I met Blaid in the Mistwood, helped him with the Everjail Hound problem, then told to mention his name if I ever met a smith named Iji. Sure enough along my exploring of Liurnia i decide to check out the marked manner on the map and on my way find Iji, mention Blaid to him, and he hooks me up with that Carian Filligri Bling while warning me of the danger ahead. Undetered explorer I was, I went right in, died a few times, and then after beating Lauretas Ghost Summon made it to Ranni's Rise. So I always imagine between Blaid, Iji, and the Spirit Caller Bell interaction, she was decently aware of who I was and thought "Well since you're here and already acquainted with everyone, want to lend a hand?"
@@zaappz his story is cool, but anytime he is mentioned there is like five guys that come to say how he could totally solo Elden beast and he is this Honorable saint that could do no wrong.
@@idkwtcm984 okay? I mean that's what they think, but there's no objective truth because the game is your own experience. what you think will happen is as likely to happen as what they think will happen. You're no more "right" than they are.
Theres another unique interaction if you meet blaidd and ijii and then kill radahn to open up nokron and get the finger blade- once you go to meet her shell be very welcoming sensing the knife on you, and admire your ability to beat the general and retrieve the knife. Shes a lot less dismissive and the act has you automatically entering her service i think
That'd be cool, but it seems that FromSoft didn't want to let you be creative in that way becasue chest the fingerslayer blade is in won't even open without talking to her here first
Her original body was pretty much like Malenia height so it was a big change imagine being 6,4 all your life then changing to 5,8 anyone would feel uncomfortable
It's funny that she gives you the inverted statue regardless of how you start, but makes so much more sense if you first do Rogier's questline. It's interesting to wonder about how FromSoft designed and playtested the game, to the point where maybe the bias of knowing all the secrets made it seem like people were more likely to do Rogier's questline first? Interesting how it turned out, I remember by the time I was finished with the game I didn't even know the dialogue of her admitting to being behind the Night of the Black Knives existed.
If you go along with selvis’s scheme and attempt to give her the amber draught to make her your puppet she gets angry kicks you out of her service and if you insist on talking to her I think 3 times after that she instantly kills you.
i am VERY late to this comment, but: - Kaiden Helmet (Kaiden Sellswords, Limgrave) - Cuckoo Knight Armor (Cuckoo Knights, Liurnia of the Lakes) - Knight Gauntlets (Twin Maiden Husks, Roundtable Hold) - Leather Trousers (Nomadic Merchant, Castle Morne Rampart)
If I remember correctly, you cannot meet her if you kill Blaidd early, the tower is empty. Also, Blaidd doesn't die: he keeps coming back. If you attack him in Mistwood he vanishes and when you next come there after resting, he's been resurrected and attacks you on sight. This keeps happening as long as you take celestial dew and repent, which resets the quest.
Guarantee Doll Ranni is a previous version of her before meeting the Tarnished. Only way to explain how hostile she was after normal Ranni was so grateful to us for service.
Nahh, she already said that she wanted to do her quest alone, you know the "Dark path only I can walk" shit So maybe it's bacause we again "interfering" with her solo thing. I mean "again"... She litteraly ask for help. But when she's gone, she needs us but don't want to admit it i guess, to make sure she wont get us or anybody else in danger I guess. She is pretty selfless when she can be I think.
Okey wait am I the only one who does not trust ranni at all I mean she doesn't like you you were her only way to become the elden lord you are more like her dog who clean up after her or do little works that she did not like ? Not only that but also of she is so powerful enough why didn't she save iji I understand seluvis deserve to die and blaidd was under the control of the 2 fingers that ranni killed but iji come on DONT SIMP FOR RANNI SHE IS NOT TRUSTWORTHY
That implies she would have had that power. She openly states she loved iji and blaidd, and when we find him dead its very likely that ranni simply did not have the means or knowledge to stop it. The black knives are split apart, no longer unified, they seem discarded by the end of the shattering. Perhaps the black knives caught on to this plot and sought revenge on ranni or perhaps even marika for abandoning them? If she wanted to lie to us, this lie wouldnt do much. She has no reason to lie about that one moment of vulnerability, she couldnt have had much way to stop ijis death, and the black knives have every reason to strike out at iji. Shes not the most honest character, and she does a lot of scheming for sure, but i think she is honest by the end of her questline about what she wants and where you fall in her plans
No you're not the only one. Since the initial honeymoon of release lots of people have pushed back on Ranni, there's perhaps even been overreaction. Like every good From character she's nuanced. She's done evil for the sake of good. As for Iji, Everything about the black knives are mysterious. I don't think Ranni can control them, they were just co-conspirators at the time. For instance why is Black Knife Tiche in a gaol in effectively Ranni's territory? (moonlight altar plateau). And why do they seem to have ultimate loyalty to Marika? "The assassins that carried out the deeds of the Night of the Black Knives were all women, and rumored to be Numen who had close ties with Marika herself." That assassin isn't necessarily loyal to anyone.

It's also possible to see a mix-up here, where you've previously met her and recieved the bell of calling, and also gotten directions from Rogier.
That's what hapened to me as well.
that was my 1st run: she corrects herself about not being Renna then you talk about the curse mark
Ranni is probably the most thirsted after welsh lady of all time.
aka Mio from Xenoblade, a Welsh catgirl. Although her mother Nia is *also* a Welsh catgirl who is well-thirsted-after.

He is inmortal, if u kill him he will reapear again full HP
as far as i remember if you assault iji or blaidd before meeting ranni, she will not be at her tower.
Neither she, nor Iji will be present
You can kill blaid after the radahn fight so he stays there reappearing, you can easily farm the dog boy
