Where to find Miniature Ranni in Elden Ring

 

Elden Ring Miniature Ranni Use

Miniature Ranni can be spoken to at Ainsel River Main Site of Grace, she will respond after talking 3 times. After persisting on speaking to it, Ranni speaks back through the doll and asks you to eliminate a Baleful Shadow, which is located just beyond the Nokstella Waterfall Basin grace point. After doing so, you will be given the Discarded Palace Key.

You can also talk to her at the Nokstella, Eternal City and Nokstella Waterfall Basin Sites of Grace before defeating the Baleful Shadow. Note that it is possible to begin the conversation with her at any of these sites of grace. Once you've talked to her at a new grace, her dialogue will remain the same as the most recent grace's dialogue, even if you return to the previous graces you talked to her at.

At the end of Ranni's questline, she can be spoken to again at Ranni's Chamber Site of Grace in Ranni's Rise.

 

Dialogue in Elden Ring: Miniature Ranni

    Forget what thou'st heard. Forget.

        I know the game testers were like how are we supposed to know we need to talk three times to the doll and Michealzaki just beat the **** out of them

          Ok hear me out, what if this is Ranni’s primal glintstone the soul of a sourceress? Just how Sellen transplanted her soul into a doll, although we tarnished used what looks like a bloodyied crystal. For Ranni without flesh her soul resides in a custom made doll in the likens of her mentor and the maker of the doll made it like one of those Russian dolls within dolls. Her clothes can be found earliest then the doll and once you have the key you can find her nude form soulless next to slain finger, until you give her the ring and cloth she’ll temporary return. If your slow on transferring Sellen’s soul you’ll be notified the stone react as if her body died, Ranni may had us fight shadows to distract us before the doll loses last of its soul and become just a husk.

            Oh you have to give Fingerslayer Blade to Ranni for the doll to appear. Could have mentioned that upfront instead of the last sentence.

              She "asks" you do defeat the Baleful Shadow? No, she orders you to do it as PUNISHMENT for picking her up! When I heard that on my recent playthrough I was like "how do I 'drop item' again?" lol (sadly you can't).
              Well, I got the Age of Stars achievement. Hope Ranni enjoys being a tiny, inanimate doll in a waterlogged coffin forever from now on...

                "Is it merely thine habit to talk to dolls?" Yes,the last doll I talked to is in a dream and helped me level up so I can beat up blood drunk people in London. Yes I have a habit to talk to dolls.

                        Its Ranni.....she is a magican ....she can cast spells and stuff so its not really that hard to believe she makes herself small...even in the description its statet:

                        "A doll resembling Ranni the Witch.
                        From head to toe every detail is perfect."

                        its because it IS ranni..Igji told us she went through rennas rise so did we and only AFTER you did the quest you can find her ( in small doll form) near the grave
                        (if you go there without the quest (with the sakopargh near Fia and godwyn the golden) the doll isnt there.

                          Where did this come from? Was it made by the same person who made the giant marionette version?? And why was it found underground? Is it just a cute little prop to help the player justify why they could talk to Ranni again, or ... what ... ? She's a ghost and has been shown to be able to chat with you without needing a body, so ... it's not even necessary for that? This item baffles me!

                                        Because no one wants to make it clear...

                                        To talk to the damn doll, you must REST at Nokstella Waterfall Basin Site of Grace. Then you get the option to talk to the doll at the bottom of the lvl up options.

                                        Good game, but the quest design is borderline draconic, unintuitive and impossible without a guide.

                                                  I was wondering why she left her mini doll there

                                                  This is when Ranni begin her move to kill her 2finger after receive the fingerslayer blade,
                                                  and Ranni left this mini doll at the entrance of the portal to see if we come along with her? (or for the game flow easier)

                                                  Considering if we still choose to follow her, she will give us the key to the ring, choose us as her lord yes?

                                                      So is the doll where Ranni's soul has been kept this whole time and we were just talking to a sort of mobile platform in the tower?
                                                      If not that, why did her soul get transferred into the body of a doll in a coffin when she began her journey? I feel like I missed some lore or dialogue.

Maybe this is the previous Witch who trained Ranni and who Ranni modeled her blue doll image after? Loose ends that I don't think are really answered :[

                                                                        • Anonymous

                                                                          I have the theory that this doll is actually not inhabited by Ranni herself, but by the witch that trained her.

                                                                          There's some hints towards it: The complete departure in personality, the fact that the doll is cool to the touch, the fact that she talks about Ranni as if she was someone else... there's a few hints.

                                                                          I have no idea what the baleful shadow is about though.

                                                                          • Anonymous

I didn't rest at the grace again or try a second time there. Next, I went to the Nokstella Eternal City grace and tried again there, and she told me to kill the baleful shadows.
