You can find Nepheli Loux in a small room close to Godrick the Grafted's boss arena in Stormveil Castle.

From the Liftside Chamber Site of Grace, go up the stairs and run past the flame-spewing birds. You can find the room on the right immediately after passing the birds and just before the small golden tree.

You can also get to Nepheli's starting location by heading south from the Secluded Cell Site of Grace and past the Giant and two Exile Soldiers.

This is a safer location to get to Nepheli as you can kill the Giant and soldiers form a safe distance and safely get to the room without them following you, unlike the flame-spewing birds that can actually get inside the room.

Nepheli is next found under the bridge on the path leadiing to the Village of Albinaurics. Take note that the village itself isn't on the large plateau on the map but right under it, with the village's location essentially carved on the mountainside.

After your interaction with Nepheli at the Village of Albinaurics, she will move to the Roundtable Hold. You can find her at the bottom of the staircase past Smithing Master Hewg.

If you have encountered Seluvis in Liurnia, he will most likely have given you a potion to give to Nepheli. If you want Nepheli to become a puppet, give her the potion after she is disowned. This will unlock her for purchase from Seluvis later on.

Warning: Giving Nepheli the potion will prematurely end her questline. For players who still want to play out her story and receive the reward, do not give her the potion.

Alternatively, players can give the potion to Gideon Ofnir who will offer to dispose of it. Do note that choosing this or the previous option will still allow players to progress Seluvis' questline.

If players complete Nepheli's questline before fighting Hoarah Loux, she will be available as a gold summon for the boss fight. Nepheli will be a lot tankier for this boss fight, making her a perfect distraction for characters with ranged builds.

How to Beat Hoarah Loux, Warrior

Where does Nepheli go after the village?

Unfortunately, players that have beaten Maliketh before progressing this questline will not be able to see its conclusion.

Instead, Nepeheli will disappear, dropping her twin Stormhawk Axes where she once knelt at the Roundtable Hold.

  • Nepheli Loux is the adopted daughter of Sir Gideon Ofnir, head of the Roundtable. She is an axe-wielding warrior who has a distaste for all things unnatural such as the grafted in Godrick's castle.
  • Nepheli is also Tarnished. However, she is like Rogier in that she has also lost her Guidance of Grace. Without a guide, she finds purpose in slaying abominations and righting wrongs.
  • In the Village of Albinaurics, Nepheli hints that she had borne witness to a village massacre in her youth. She claims that she was too young to do anything about it before and so she helps you when the Tarnished challenges Omenkiller.
  • After she helps out the Tarnished at the Village of Albinaurics, Nepheli will find out that it was her father's own men that killed the villagers. After confronting Gideon about it at the Roundtable Hold, he will disown her.
  • Eventually, Nepheli will leave the influence of Gideon behind, taking refuge and newfound purpose in Stormveil Castle. If the Tarnished speaks to her here, she will tell you that her new purpose is to restore the land and remove the foulness that pollutes it.
  • Nepheli's last name is similar to Hoarah Loux, Warrior. While no immediate connections have been made between the two, Nepheli also refers to herself as a Warrior in most of her dialogue. In fact, her gold summon is called Nepheli Loux, Warrior.
  • Nepheli's Stormhawk Axe can be found at the Fortified Manor in the Capital City of Leyndell. It will be in the courtyard patrolled by two Iron Maidens.
"Be proud. You were a fine warrior. Your only mistake was your choice of master. Let the winds lift you, to a higher place."
"Well, who do we have here? Tarnished are you? Clearly not one of Godrick's lot. I am Nepheli Loux, Tarnished and warrior, like you. I'm here by decree of my father."
"Ah, yes. I wonder if you've met my foster father? He's in his study. The room Ensha's guarding just over there. If you haven't already, I advise you introduce yourself. Father is leader of the Roundtable. I'm sure talking to him will be worth your while."
"Oh, it's you... Well, what do you make of it? What's happened to this village? I witnessed a sight much the same, in my infancy. The oppression of the weak. Murder and pillage unchecked. A waking nightmare, made by men. But this time, I'm a woman grown. And though the suffering cannot be undone, I can still mete out justice. Let the scars I carve remind them. I am Nepheli Loux. Warrior."
"So you know already, do you? Right. It's true. My father cast me out. For indulging my emotions. Forgetting the mission. Punishment for offing his pawns. Father...rather, Lord Gideon has offered my guidance all my life. I would have done anything for him, to place him on the throne of Elden Lord."
"It's been some time. I must thank you, for your aid. I told father I would be with him no longer. I remembered the vow I took when I first became a warrior, so many moons ago. This land is much like the one from which I hail. I will call upon the storm, to drive away the foulness that has settled on the winds."
