Renna is an NPC in Elden Ring. Renna is a blue humanoid character that has four arms and two faces. Renna will give you the ability to summon spirits at a specific point in the game. These spirits come in different forms, including magic, Skeletons, Wolves, and many more. Renna will leave after teaching you how to summon spirits.
Unless of course, thou shouldst take the crown?"
Renna Location in Elden Ring
Renna can be found in the following location(s):
- Found sitting by the ruins of the Church of Elleh in Limgrave. Return to the Church of Elleh via teleporting on the map menu, after acquiring the ability to summon your Spectral Steed from Melina to find her. [Map Link]
- Manually going back to the Church (via walking there) won't make Renna appear. Sitting at a Site of Grace (any) will not work either.
- Passing the time (done while resting at a Site of Grace), either inside or outside the church, will not make her appear.
- Quitting out of the game and loading back in will not make her appear, regardless of time of the day.
- Time of the day doesn't matter for making her appear. Once the player teleports to the Church of Elleh after acquiring the Spectral Steed Whistle, the time will automatically be set to night.
- After talking to her and opting to tell her that you can summon Torrent, the Spectral Steed, she will gift the player with the Spirit Calling Bell key item, and the Lone Wolf Ashes.
- Found again in Ranni's Rise. Here she begins a long and important quest relevant to much of the game's story.
- If Melina appears to offer the player access to the Roundtable Hold, Ranni will no longer spawn at the Church even if you press cancel and don't actually go. You can still start her quest line at Ranni's Rise.
- If you do not get the Spirit Calling Bell from Renna, you can buy the bell and the Lone Wolf Ashes from the Twin Maiden Husks in the Roundtable Hold.

Dialogue in Elden Ring: Renna
Introduction
- This way, Tarnished. May I have a word.
- A pleasure to meet thee, Tarnished. I am the witch Renna.
I'd heard tell of a Tarnished hurtling about atop a spectral steed.
And upon looking into the matter, the talk, I surmise, is of thee.
Thou'rt possessed of the power, no?
To call forth the spectral steed named Torrent.
If you say you can call Torrent
- Ah. As I had hoped. I was entrusted this, for thee. By Torrent's former master.
Tis a bell for calling forth spirits. Summon them with it, from ash unreturned to the Erdtree.
The spirits will obey thine command but briefly, as they recall battles past.
Now it is thine. To do with as thou wishest.
Before disappearing
- Forgive mine intrusion, Tarnished. I doubt we shall meet again. But all the same, learn well thee Lands Between.
How long will it be, I wonder...Before the Tarnished tire of obeisance to the Two Fingers?
At Ranni's Rise
- Oh, again we cross paths. I believe I said my name was Renna, when we last met. It pleaseth me to see Torrent hale and hearty...But Tarnished, what business hast thou here? I have no memory of inking thee an invitation.
No Particular Reason
- No reason in particular, thou claimest? Intriguing. Then mayhaps fate hath steered thee to this reunion. Wilt thou enter into my service? I am the witch Ranni. I stole Death long ago, and search now for the dark path. That I might one day upend the whole of it, and rid the world of all that came before. Well? Has that roused thy interest?
Serve Ranni the Witch
- I see. A choice well made. Thou'rt a rare sort. Not many would have accepted the offer. But I require as much of those under my command. I anticipate good work from thee. Good, then I ask we proceed with haste.
- There is, in my service, a half-wolven warrior by the name of Blaidd. I would have thee join him in searching for the hidden treasure of Nokron, the Eternal City. I have called Blaidd to greet thee below. Take from him the particulars. Ah, and there wilt thou find Iji, my war counselor, and Seluvis, preceptor in the sorcerous arts, also. Heed not their peculiarities; feel secure in gaining from them what advantage thou canst. I am sure the others will be doing just the same.
- Speak with the three who await thee below. Thou needst not indulge them unduly, but they too wish to appraise they worth. It hath been a passing long time since a newcomer entered my service, after all.
After Speaking to the Three
- Ah, allow me to forewarn thee. I shall soon enter my slumber. And it will be some time before I wake. This doll's body is not without its hindrances...Still, I have high hopes for thee. I look forward to the good news when I arise.

Elden Ring Renna Notes & Trivia
- The "Trivia" section on the IMDB page for Elden Ring claims that "Game of Thrones" actress Maisie Williams lends her voice to Renna character in the game's story trailer. However, there are no reliable sources that support this other than people claiming to recognise her voice in various online forums.
- Renna appears to have a spectral mirror image of herself attached to her at the right eye.

Renna isn't Ranni. Renna is a witch Ranni had previously met that taught Ranni all her cold magic. If you read the Snow Witch set it'll tell you. Renna is just the false name she gives you.

I think the description of how she appears by the Church of Elleh is wrong. I went to Roundtable Hold AND I defeated Margit, then I fast travelled back to Church of Elleh and Renna was there.
Renna being Ranni sounds like a distinct possibility. Sure, she says that wasn't her real name, but really...it seems so random for her to introduce herself as Renna only to later just be all "lolkidding!"

If i am not mistaken and i believe im not Renna is not in the game this whole post is about Ranni pretending to be Renna which is only part of the Church of Elleh and nowhere else.

Just a note about Ranni not appearing at the church after going to the Roundtable! I just came back from there directly to the church without thinking about Ranni, and she was right there. Maybe it was a big that’s been patched?

Am I on acid here? Why is everyone acting like this is not Ranni? Ranni literally tells you when you meet her that she was pretending to be Renna?

Curiously, both Ranni and Renna have the same character model, with the Spectral Simulacrum with the shared right eye. Therefore it could very well be possible that we only interact with the same being in the game. In the Church of Elleh we could be interacting with Renna, who could be the Spectral Simulacrum part of the being, which Ranni is using as a precaution when interacting with new companions. Later in the game, when we are more familiar with the being, we could be interacting with Ranni instead of the Spectral Simulacrum.

Too bad Renna only appears in the beginning of the game. I was hoping to see more of her. We hear her speak mid-way through the Rennala boss but never get to see her again past the church. I was so disappointed when I got to Renna's Rise for the first time and she wasn't there.

You will come to find that this is, in fact, not Renna. Renna was her Mentor....

Why the **** is this even here? It should just be under Ranni to avoid confusion and keep it simple. This interaction is so short and pointless it's not needed.

There is an inaccuracy in this. I went to the round table and still teleported to the church and met Renna who gave me the bell and ashes. Perhaps there is another trigger shortly after the roundtable that prevents her from appearing at the church, but for me i can confirm she does.
- Anonymous
Think she was one of those Wraithcallers you first meet in Liurnia. Ranni gives you the spirit calling bell, on behalf of "Torrents former master". Now the only other person who is aquainted with Torrent is Melina, who could, and probably would, just give it you herself seeing as she has an interest in you succeeding in your mission of getting to the Erdtree. The spirit calling bell, the doll Ranni inhabits having four arms, just like the wraith-callers, it just seems like Fromsoftware devs are calling us to make that connection.

This page should be about the actual character mentioned in the game named Renna and not the alter ego Ranni uses in the game.

If you pick the second option of telling her you can't summon torrent she will leave the bell and ashes along with different dialogue as she goes.

Since Ranni has her own. page I expected this page to be about the real Renna (who we can presume to be Ranni's mentor whom the doll Ranni inhabits is modeled for as described in her outfit set).

If you kill yourself on the cliffs next to ringleader's evergaol using bloody slash you can spawn at the stake of marika and bypass her whole questline to get to the moonlight altar plateau. You can give her the ring even if it's not in your inventory and trigger the scene for the darkmoon greatsword super early in the game.

Could it be that Renna is Rennala’s mother, and Ranni’s grandmother?

Ranni is lucky Renna was a GILF. I imagine all the hype for Ranni would be a fraction of what it is now if you had to serve and marry some granny looking puppet.

I think that Renna was likely the previous (Or at least A previous) owner of Torrent.
Ranni was taught by Renna, and gifts the player the ability to call spirits. As such, it could be assumed that Renna could call upon Torrent, a spectral steed, being a master at the spirit summoning magics.
As Ranni also mentions you riding Torrent as an indicator that you're to be entrusted with the ability to call spirits, it's likely she had a connection to Torrent. Which given the only people we know that Ranni has been close with are: Rennala, Iji, Blaidd, Seluvis and Renna.
The only 2 that seem likely to have a connection with Torrent are Rennala and Renna, but given that Rennala spends her time in Raya Lucaria (Being the Queen and massively depressed) it's probably that Renna is the one with the connection to Torrent.
It's also worth noting that there might be a connection in the fact that Ranni's teleportation and Torrents summoning animations use similar blue particle effects, which is also shared by Glintstone Dragon Adula when she teleports away from the Three Sisters (Also, Melina too)
How Melina ended up with Torrent, it's possible that she was guiding another Tarnished who was gifted Torrent and the ability to call spirits by Ranni/Renna before they ultimately failed and she got the whistle back.
Who that was, is uncertain, arguments can be made for Vyke or Bernahl as both are mentioned to have gotten far in the quest to become Elden Lord. But both also have arguments against them too (Vyke invades near a church with a Maiden Corpse which could have been his maiden. Bernahl it's noted he lost his maiden when she "Threw herself into the fire" which doesn't sound like he failed and would cause Melina to take Torrent back)
Oh, this realised this page doesn't include the lines she says when attacking her, now she's gone because I thought she'd say nothing based on this page lmao
Teleported out and back in to see what would happen, and the Bell was dropped on the ground in front of where she sits, along with the Lone Wolf Ashes, god I love this game and I barely started.

Renna was Ranni's teacher in her type of magic. She specialized in frost magic as can be seen from the flavortext of the snow witch gear in game. Ranni used the name Renna as a slight misdirection to keep our character in the dark of her true nature and identity, in this meeting she was just scoping out how we were and if she could trust us, when we meet her again at Ranni's rise she clarifies her name.
- Anonymous
I noticed that as Renna teleports away, her particles travel in the direction of the Three Sisters.

Renna is not Ranni, she even says so after you go to her town, Renna is a completely different person, probable Melina since she doesn't want you to know her real intent and why Ranni borrowed her name to trick you into trusting her. But not like any of this lore is really clear or definite.
- Anonymous
Renna still appeared at the Church of Elleh. I went to the Roundtable Hold via the Dragonbarrow after teleporting from a sending gate. Melina appeared when I rested at the site of grace inside the Bestial Sanctum, got the option to go to the Roundtable Hold, then so on and so forth. At that time, I forgot to go back to the Church of Elleh so I teleported back there and Renna still appeared as usual.
I think the reason why is depending on which region you are in prior to entering Roundtable Hold, it affects the pattern of an NPCs storyline. For example, if you went to Liurnia first before going to Weeping Peninsula, and going back to the latter, Irina, the first NPC in that area, is already found dead despite not progressing through her questline. But when I went to Caelid and back to WP, she was still alive.

What if Ranni when losing her body had to possess a doll made by her image and use it as her new body.
As a result the spectral face next to the doll is actually Rannis spirit possessing the doll.
This could mean that there is no actual person named Renna and maybe that's the name Ranni gave to her doll as a child
In the beginning while hiding her own identity she chose to introduce herself as Renna, the dolls name

Hey guys. For weeks, I already figured out triggers that cause certain NPCs to move/disappear, but seems like nobody has yet to update the wiki. I don't feel like registering just to edit, but I don't mind sharing them if someone could help make the edits. Any volunteers? It's pretty long.

I think that renna is an aunt of ranni and a sister of renala.
It would explain the mentionning of multiple carian princesses, despite renala establishing carian royalty as its first queen. The sister of the queen would also be a princess, and was first in line until radagon and renala got busy. As Ranni's aunt and maybe godmother, she'd be in a prime position to mentor ranni, with renala either busy with radagon or his egg.
And it fits the R theme we got going.

This entire page is incorrect. Ranni used the name Renna (who is a separate person entirely) when first meeting to protect herself. Ranni and Renna are not the same person. Most likely, Renna is the name of the snow witch who raised Ranni

I believe Renna is actually the 2nd spirit face of Ranni's. The doll body was created in Ranni's mentor's likeness and it would make sense that the spirit face matches the doll's.
If the spirit face was Ranni's then it would look different from the doll's.
The two likely inhabit the same body and it was really Renna that gives the player the bell near the start of the game.

I feel like this page needs to make a distinction—we do not ever meet Renna in the game. We meet Ranni pretending to be Renna. Renna was the snow witch that trained Ranni and was the original owner of Torrent, then Ranni fashioned a doll body after her years later

Interesting note: if you meet Renna for the first time in her tower after defeating Radahn and not following Rogier's quest line then she will only mention Iji and Seluvis as her followers. Presumably at this point Iji has imprisoned Blaidd and Renna is aware of it (or even ordered it).

I was steadily bringing along multiple npc quests and had Ranni up to the "wait for Blaidd at riverfront" step. While moving the manor quest line I went to Altus Plateau. Since killing that lord blocks out a few thing at that spot I went to Rahdan. Blaidd was there and it bypassed the Seledin portion of the steps.
It doesn't interfere with the rest, but this is second run through and missed that dialog both times now. Not sure if it leads to anything good. Just a warning is all. You can't give dung eater the potion if you dont want to break that or some of the manor line, since you need two Lord's. I'm sure there is a work around I didn't see...

For those who cares, if you progress Roggier's quest
(to the point he asks you to go see Ranni) before talking to her at the rise first, her attitude will be slightly different/ less friendly since she knows you came to her for information of the black knife.
That said it's only 3 to 4 lines of different dialogue and you can progress her quest just fine.

if you do radhan first before going to three sisters and meeting her she will have a different dialogue not even mentioning blaidd and skip all the parts before nokron

Reading the context clues around things like the snow witch set and the lore behind Ranni, it seems the like theory is:
Ranni had a different body.
Ranni met a teacher in the woods one day to teach her magic.
The teacher is Renna.
Snow witch set said that Ranni's doll body is based of the snow witches appearance.
So Ranni you see is a doll that contains the soul of Ranni and is made to look like her teacher Renna. Hence that is why there are two towers and they are so close to each other.
Also this game suggests that mages like to have their own respective towers.

Just a theory, but I'm guessing the ACTUAL Renna was the snow-crone who taught Ranni everything.

If you didn't get the bell and wolves from her, you can start her quest line, with Rogier's quest to find the death rune. He'll have you go in as a spy, but Ranni sees what you're trying to do. She let's you in anyways, because she's curious on what you'll do next.

Renna and Ranni are not the same character, behind caria manor there are three structures, one for Ranni, one for Seluvis and one for Renna, which means, Renna is not Ranni.
At some point when talking to Ranni, she mentions that she took another witch's form, which i presume is Renna's form.
The question is, did she take her form long ago, or did it happen during the game, while we were fighting Rennala.

Why have a "Renna" page and "Ranni the Witch" page? They're the same character so wouldn't it make sense for this page to just direct to "Ranni the Witch" page?

There's some cool lore behind her backstory that's pure speculation. But, can make sense. For example, Ranni's primary motivation to acquire power probably was stemmed from her mother?
- Radagon/Her husband left her to be Marika's consort, effectively, breaking her mother's heart.
- Ranni had Godwyn assassinated stealing a fragment of the rune of death and having the black knives assassins do it.
- Ranni's wants to bathe the world in moonlight. This is also exactly what Rennala asks Ranni to do when you defeat Rennala.
- In order for her to go against the golden order and greater will. She had to discard her demigod flesh.
- Ranni relies on you to carry out her revenge against Marika. While, she takes care of the two fingers.

If you say you aren't the one who can summon Torrent she effectively says "Don't **** with me," except in high fantasy lingo.

damn her quest was so worth it guys, just get all the dialogues with her, and miniature ranni, seluvis’s lines, and item descriptions and all, its so obvious.
At first, i thought maybe this lord and god relationship is more like partnership like the elden dragonlord and his god, or mogh and miquella.
but no, she def developed feelings, and it was quite a ride of story.

You can meet Ranni in her tower and you can start her questline regardless of meeting her or not by the church. It seems you can only do that if you haven't started the festival or progressed through Rogiers questline where you can ask her for her whereabouts. There might be a way too after doing these steps and I will update what I find out by replying here.
So if you want to do her questline AVOID ROGIER QUESTLINE and THE FESTIVAL at the CHAMBER OUTSIDE THE PLAZA REST SITE.
Just make your way up NORTH WEST of LUNARIA LAKE to CARIA MANOR

So this never spawned for me at the church. I believe that before going back to the church, I got to the Roundtable and bought the spirit bell there, because I had no idea you would get later for free, so that might have cancelled her spawn in the church.
This really sucks. They shouldnt have let you buy the item if doing so would make a NPC not appear.

If you don't see her there and you've done the black nice part of rogiers quest line where he tells you to meet her at the tower, then it's because you went to the festival but haven't beaten Radahn yet. Beating Radahn with make her appear in the tower again.
That last point about her not spawning if you go to the roundtable hold is BS. Literally just warped from the hold to church of elleh and Renna was there. Limgrave & Caelid explored, no bosses killed. So going to the hold isn't what triggers her to disappear if she does.
