The character Cells in Elden Ring there is a witch who has been banished from the Raya Lucaria Academy.
Sellen not only teaches magic (which makes it interesting for magically inclined characters), but also provides a lengthy (and very convoluted) questline. To end Cellen’s Quest is worth it, not only for the equipment you get, but also because you will have the opportunity to see places that would otherwise remain unknown.
Follow this guide and we’ll show you all the steps needed to complete the Sellen side quest.
Where to find Witch Sellen
You will first encounter Sellen east of Limgrave at Waypoint Ruins.
Here you need to enter the cave and kill the mini-boss called Pumpkin head. Then open the door and you will meet Sellen who reveals that she is ready to teach your witchcraft. Accept his offer then find Azur.
Find Azur at Mount Gelmir
You can only continue Sellen’s quest after meeting the primordial sorcerer Azur. It is located on Mount Gelmir, north of Hermit Village.
Once you find the Azur Primal Sorcerer’s Grace Site, start trying to talk to him (he remains silent himself) and he will give you the Azure Comet. Bring the Azure Comet back to Sellen, then listen to its story and you will become its apprentice.

Find the sorcerer Lusat
Sellen needs your help to find Master Lusat, who is rotting in a dungeon” (after being expelled from the Academy). Here you will receive a Sellian Sealbreaker.
Use this key to travel to Sellia Hideaway in Caelid. You will find it in this location southwest of Faroth Fortress:
You need to roll or hit the rock wall from the outside to open the hideout.
You will then have to go down to the bottom of the cave and encounter a wall of sparkling stones which you will have to open with the Sellen Key.
Inside you will find the remains of Master Lusat, search it and you will learn the spell. Stars of Ruin.
Return to Sellen with it and, after defeating Starscourge Radahn at Castle Redmane, she will tell you that she is just a projection.
Find Sellen’s body
Sullen says his body is trapped near the Witches’ Bane Ruins.
Travel to the Weeping Peninsula and search for the Witches’ Bane Ruins. They are located south of Fourth Church of Marika.
Go down the stairs and you will find Sellen chained to the wall.
Interact with it and you will receive Cellen’s Primordial Glitterstone (its soul or essence, so to speak, and therefore an important key element).
Meet Witch Hunter Jerren
Now go to Redmane Castle again, where you will meet the Witch Hunter Jerren in the throne room.
During the dialogue, he talks about wanting to settle an old score, but it doesn’t make much sense at first. Keep talking until he has nothing new to say.
Note: If you’ve already been here, talked to him, and exhausted his dialogue, this step is not necessary.
Return to the Witchbane Ruins where you will see Jerren standing next to Sellen. Talk to him again until he repeats himself.
Activate Sellen’s Doll
Now go to the Three Sisters area in Liurnia and look around northeast of Ranni’s Tower.
At this point, guarded by a single noble, you can discover a secret passage leading to a cave by rolling on the ground:
On the back, you will find the message: “The puppet of Seluvis. Do not touch.” To the left you can destroy what appears to be a wall.
You will find a doll of Sellen’s body, into which you will need to insert the Primal Glintstone. This fills the doll with life and she is now available there as a magic teacher.
Sellen or Jerren?
To complete the quest, you must have already defeated Rennala in the Raya Lucaria Academy.
You will find two call signs in front of the entrance to the Great Library: one for Sellen and one for Jerren.
The quest can now be completed in two ways:
- Summon Sellen and kill Jerren and you will receive various items as rewards: a quirky armor set and the Glintstone Kris weapon.
- Sellen stays in the library until you find Lusat.
- After Sellen’s transformation, you will be able to revisit Azur and Lusat’s bodies to obtain their clothes.
- Summon Jerren and kill Sellen and you will also receive various items as rewards: Sellen’s Sound Pearl and the Witch’s Shimmering Stone Crown.
- For example, you will receive an Ancient Dragonsmithing Stone from him.
- You can then kill Jerren to take his clothes.
