Where to find Dung Eater Puppet

Where to Find Dung Eater Puppet

Elden Ring Dung Eater Puppet Guide

• Upgrades with Ghost Gloveworts.
• To obtain the Dung Eater Puppet, start by beginning Ranni the Witch's quest at

Ranni's Rise [Map link]

• After speaking to Ranni, speak to the spirit versions of Iji, Blaidd, and Seluvis in her tower and exhaust each of their dialogues, then speak to Ranni again.
  • After speaking to Seluvis, he will reveal to you that you can meet him in his tower nearby, where he resides in his tower directly south of Ranni's rise.
  • Going to his tower and speaking to him until his dialog is exhausted will have him give you a simple quest to find Nepheli and ensure she drinks Seluvis's Potion.
    • Do NOT use it on Nepheli. Instead, hold onto it until you progress the Dung Eater's questline far enough.
    • Progressing past the point in Ranni's Quest where you give her the Fingerslayer Blade will lock the player out of Dung Eater Ashes until NG+.
• After you meet Seluvis, go a bit north, to the ruined building that's halfway between Renna's Rise and Ranni's Rise. Roll over the flat stone floor in the top-most area, which will break the illusion and allow you to enter Seluvis's lab. Explore the lab and activate the glowing message. To its left is another illusionary wall, which will reveal an additional secret chamber.
• Now return to Seluvis and talk to him about this chamber you've found. This will allow you to pick a free puppet ash. This will also advance his questline.
• Follow the Dung Eater questline, up until you're able to meet his real body tied to a chair in the sewer-gaol in the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds underneath Leyndell, Royal Capital. This will require progressing the main story to Altus Plateau and obtaining at least one Seedbed Curse, which you must show to him in Roundtable Hold so that he'll give you the key to his cell.
• After you fight him in the Outer Moat, return to the Roundtable Hold and talk to him there. He will tell you to find him in the sewers, in the same cell as before, tied to a chair. Exhaust his dialogue, and the option to administer Seluvis's Potion will appear. Do so to trigger dialogue of the Dung Eater sounding worried. You are now finished with both the Dung Eater part of getting his puppet, the Dung Eater questline (as it can no longer be completed). You can also kill the Dung Eater right after administering the potion (don't leave or reset or his body will vanish) to obtain the Omen Set. If you do this, his body will not be found in Seluvis's laboratory, but you'll still be able to get his Ashes.
• Return to Seluvis's Rise, and comment on the fact Nepheli hasn't appeared in his lab as a puppet. This makes him wonder if he didn't use the right ingredients.
• Then, if the dialog option for getting your own puppet has not yet appeared in Seluvis's options, you need to use your free puppet at least once. This will trigger him to offer to sell you the Dung Eater Ashes.
  Just like the standard Seluvis questline, by quitting out once after buying the free puppet, talking to him, and quitting out a second time, he will have the rest of his puppets for sale. If this method does not work, try the steps mentioned above.
• Once he does, you'll need to bring him 5 Starlight Shards to purchase the Ashes.
• Uses the Sword of Milos, which can inflict bleed damage on strikes.
• Has the Shriek of Milos skill, a roar which grants the user additional physical attack damage, and lowers all enemy resistances in range.
• If Dung Eater Puppet uses Shriek of Milos while the buff is already active, it will instead cause an explosion and spawn homing projectiles, an attack that is not available on the player's version of the skill.
• Heavily armored and difficult to stagger, while dealing good stance damage.
