What Happens if You Save Ranni the Witch in Elden Ring?

From Software games are chock-full of interesting and sometimes creepy characters. The game refrains from even hinting whether the NPC you come across is important or not. And sometimes, to many players’ dismay, these personalities have an overarching impact on the overall story of the game.

We treat these NPC’s cryptic quests just like any other character and occasionally lose out on huge chunks of hidden content in the game. One such NPC or quest in Elden Ring is Ranni, she has one of the most colossal impact on the world and should be given due attention.

Wasay has never set boundaries on what type of games he likes, he has dabbled in many genres but none can run the test of time as a good single-player experience regardless of AAA or Indie. Narrative-based and Soulsborne are his weakness. His all-time favorites are God of War, Hollow Knight, Marvel's Spiderman, Elden Ring, Nier: Automata, Bloodborne and he can go on and on.
