Where to find Nepheli Loux Puppet

Where to Find Nepheli Loux Puppet

  • Can be collected in Caria Manor from Pidia if Nepheli Loux drank Seluvis's Potion. After advancing Ranni's questline to the point where you give her the Fingerslayer Blade and she departs from Ranni's Rise, Seluvis will die. Now when you head down to revisit Pidia you will hear him pleading for his life from the puppets. After you arrive you'll find his corpse in the middle of three standing puppets (can't be attacked). His corpse has this puppet and Pidia's Ball Bearing. However if Nepheli didn't drink the potion, Dolores the Sleeping Arrow Puppet will be found instead.

  • Unlike most summons, the Nepheli puppet is affected by status affects, including death blight.

      I accidentally turned her into a puppet. So I maxed her out used her in journey 2 as to not waste her sacrifice. Me and her ganked Haligtree Loretta and Mohg. It was pretty fun. She can also do a critical hit to stance broken enemies. Feels like a second player lol

        I decided to make her a puppet simply to disgust people over a game. Bonus now I can admire her and her abs whenever I want.

              Has anyone summoned her for the Godrick fight and then used her summon on the ground in ng+? Would that even work? I’m unable to test this for more than one reason.

                So here's what you do:

                >rename character to Seluvisnt
                >get the corresponding Fashion Souls of the rat/dastard/wicked sort/etc.
                >respec and talisman up to have as much Endurance and stamina regen as you can muster
                >all other stats optional aside from the Mind necessary to summon Nepheli
                >enter Spirit Ash PvP
                >do nothing but gesture, use Prattling Pate "You're beautiful", generally cower behind her, and run like a weasel when anything gets near you

                  This is genuinely one of the most of the most heinous, f*cked-up things I’ve seen a video game give you the option to do.

                  I mean, this is genocide-route level evil.

                      This locks you out of getting two Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones (Nepheli and Gostoc). It also gives you the permanent a**hole rebuff and make you maidenless in real life.

                        Is her summon any good? I've only run through the game twice so far so I haven't betrayed her yet. Is it even worth it?

                            Wow, so many people are just REALLY into putting their own morals into this game. Albeit, I play a nice character a lot of the time and only now deciding to do an evil flame-of-frenzy confessor who dual-wields Shamshirs and this just fits right into the build along with Dung Eater.

                              Granted you can live with yourself after subjecting her to becoming a puppet, this is genuinely a top tier summon. Not too expensive, does huge damage, and is pretty tanky.

                                let me cut straight to the chase
                                idc about the morality i care about whether or not this is gonna benefit me
                                is it worth it at all or should i go for dung eater instead
                                which is the better summon

                                  Get Dung Eater first, then get Neph on NG+ and have fun fighting by her side through the NG+ cycles, personally i only used Spirit Summons for hordes of enemies, and then once more on Malenia (I cracked at the time, and have since beaten her three more times solo, no bleed build garbage), but with such a cool summon like her its gonna be a lot of fun style points bringing her along until i stow her away for my NG+6 solo run, currently on NG+3 and its quite a blast having her around.

                                    I know betraying Nepheli is a horrific enterprise. But. On NG+, picture this:

                                    You: armed with Loux's Earthshaker.

                                    On your left: Nepheli Loux, Puppet.

                                    On your right: Nepheli Loux, Warrior.... Who is presumably looking at the puppet with severe unease.

                                    And in front of you: Godrick, who should now be pre-emptively grafting his own last will and testament onto himself.

                                    I'll see you in NG+ Neph </3

                                    • On one hand, Nepheli is awesome and being able to summon her for every boss fight would be a blast. On the other hand, she's awesome and it would be horrible to do that to her...

                                        Well I guess the only reason to get this is if you are following dung eater’s questline as you couldn’t get him as a puppet anyway, might as well get her if even for completionist’s sake.
                                        It’s in line with the moral of the character going for curse of despair ending as well.

                                              I'm confused so I read everywhere that whoever you give the potion to you get their ashes drop from pidia but in my playthroughs I bought the ashes from seluvis for 5 starlight shards from the same place you get the jarwight puppet and the finger maiden puppet and in the every playthrough even if I gave someone the potion the Dolores puppet always dropped from pidia

                                                You don't have to complete Rannis questline. The only important thing is that Seluvis is dead so that Pidias puppets will turn against him and he'll die too. If the potion was given to Nepheli Loux you will get her puppet (I assume Ranni has to leave her tower for this to trigger since i dont know if she can stay at her rise with Seluvis being dead if you dont exhaust her dialoge - but i still got the puppet without helping Ranni whatsoever I just started her Quest and finished Seluvisis one till he died).

                                                  I never got this one even though I gave Nepheli the potion. I did get Dolores though it may have been before the patch.

                                                    I have the Legendary Ashen Remains achievement and I completely missed Seluvis's questline. That is to say, getting Nepheli is as far as I know not required for any achievements/to Platinum the game. If any of y'all have compunctions against that in this case you should be fine on that front.

                                                    • Tested a +10 Nepheli on one of the two Tree Sentinels outside in Altus at Journey 9, basically max mobs. Out of 10 tries she got the Sentinel down to 20-30%hp 4 times, 50% 4 times, and 80% 2 times. Her AI is funky and can cause her to die really fast depending on if she wants to roll or not. The stats are a little skewed because unlike dung eater, she CANNOT draw aggro on enemies, so around 25% of the time battling the Sentinel was focused on me. Just some food for thought.

                                                      Comparing to Dung Eater
                                                      PROS- she does about 60ish more damage per hit , attacks faster and more combos, and uses her Stormcaller ash of war.
                                                      CONS- Cannot draw aggro, debuff and bleed enemies like Dung Eater. She is also alot squishier than Dung
                                                      Overall she isnt that bad of a summon but I would personally go for my boy Dung Eater

                                                        I'm going to get her ashes and then when I NG+ I'll save her, so I can have her be my companion in all the bosses, and still have a world where her quest succeeds. What will it cost? Everything. For one NG cycle.

                                                          After using her for a while I would say it’s better to get the dungeater puppet. Nepheli uses dual wield stormhawk axes, as well as their weapon art, but the range of her attacks isn’t very good. Dungeater is just better overall since he’s so tanky and does great damage.

If you give nepheli the potion, and then progress ranni’s questline until seluvis dies, go to the cliff above the manor lower level and chase the scarab. It will run towards a rooftop and jump down. Here you will hear seluvis crying and getting killed by his own puppets, and upon dropping down along the side of the rooftop to enter the building, you will find him in there dead with a bell bearing and the summon ashes for nepheli.

                                                                        • Anonymous

                                                                          After finishing Ranni's questline, I went back to Ranni's Rise and explored aroundl - moving near Seluvis's Rise will be a cliff that leads to a rooftop. You can start to hear an NPC talking fearfully, follow the sound and jump down the wooden platforms where it will lead to a rectangular descent with a ladder in there.

                                                                          Go down the ladder and you will find the rest of the dialogue of the NPC and down the ladder you will find 3 puppet raya lucarian soldiers standing around a dead NPC - on that dead NPC will be Nepheli Loux Puppet.
