How do I free the real Sellen?

Sellen, the enigmatic and powerful sorceress in the world of Elden Ring, is a pivotal character in the game. She is initially found physically chained to a wall, and freeing her is essential to progress through the storyline. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to free Sellen and unlock her services.

Step 1: Defeat the Mad Pumpkin Head

To free Sellen, you must first defeat the Mad Pumpkin Head, a formidable boss, in the Waypoint Ruins. After defeating him, a Site of Grace will appear, allowing easy access to Sellen.

Step 2: Speak with Sellen

Once you have access to Sellen, speak with her to initiate a conversation. She will reveal her fate and the reason for her imprisonment. Sellen was exiled from the Academy of Raya Lucaria and imprisoned in the Witchbane Ruins due to her apostasy and the Academy’s desire to maintain control over the study of sorcery.

Step 3: Obtain Comet Azur Sorcery

To free Sellen, you will need to obtain the Comet Azur Sorcery. This sorcery can be obtained from various sources, including merchant NPCs and hidden areas throughout the game.

Step 4: Return to Sellen

Once you have obtained the Comet Azur Sorcery, return to Sellen and equip it. She will request that you use the sorcery to free her physically.

Step 5: Pray at the Church of Vows

To free Sellen, you must pray at the Church of Vows, which is located nearby. This will restore her physical form, and Sellen will be freed from her chains.

What does Sellen do after she is freed?

Once freed, Sellen can be found standing in the middle of the library in the Academy of Raya Lucaria. She will reveal that she has been manipulating the events of the game, seeking to overthrow the Academy’s influence and re-establish the primeval current in the process.

Puppet Sellen

However, Sellen’s goal is not without controversy, as she uses her abilities to manipulate others, including the Tarnished (the player character). Towards the end of the game, Sellen’s consciousness is transferred into a new, youthful body, revealing that she has become a puppet under the control of Seluvis, an enigmatic figure.

Conclusion

Freeing Sellen is a crucial part of the Elden Ring storyline, and by following these steps, you will be able to unlock her services and progress through the game. However, the consequences of Sellen’s actions will have far-reaching implications, and the moral implications of her manipulation must be considered.
