Elden Ring guide – Removing NPC hostility by using the Celestial Dew in the Church of Vows
There are specific locations in Elden Ring where combat isn’t allowed, such as Roundtable Hold and Rennala’s chamber.

Sellen’s Scrolls and Sorcerer Azur in Mount Gelmir
To clarify, I’m not yet sure about the correct trigger for Sorceress Sellen’s quest in Elden Ring. What I can tell you is that I collected all three scrolls first, handing them to Sellen in Waypoint Ruins.

Think of the Astel Naturalborn of the Void boss in Elden Ring as a combination of Rykard Lord of Blasphemy and Starscourge Radahn due to its attacks. This scorpion from the stars, reminiscent of the Rockslinger Demons that you’ve fought, has some deadly abilities, though a lot can be telegraphed. Moreover, please be reminded that I did this battle purely from a ranged combat standpoint.
