Ranni’s Dark Moon

Ranni’s Dark Moon turns you into a vessel for a cold, dark moon that you send drifting toward enemies. It cancels any sorcery it touches and briefly lowers the magic damage negation of anything it hits.

It needs 68 Intelligence and two memory slots, so it is a late, heavy-hitting option for a fully committed sorcerer.

Where to find it

Solve the puzzle at Chelona’s Rise in the southwest of Moonfolk Ruins. You need to find three spirit turtles: one next to the Rise, one on a ledge on the cliff southeast of the Lunar Estate Ruins, and one flying above the evergaol portal in the northwest. Start at Chelona’s Rise and travel to each one on foot or horseback, otherwise the turtles do not appear.

Item description & lore

A young Ranni was led by her mother Rennala to see this moon. What she saw was cold, dark and full of mystery.

Notes & tips

  • Lowers enemies’ magic damage negation for a short time, so follow it up with more magic.
  • Cancels enemy sorceries it touches.
