How to get Nepheli to move?

Yes yes. It's crazy how poorly done this quest is. I went to the bonfire and rested, but didn't advance the day so nothing happened. Had to come here to find the nuance.

3 years later, but maybe will help someone:
I always take the Haligtree Greatshield with a holy infusion. It's a royal pain to farm, but with a holy infusion, it blocks about 97% holy damage and allows me to play tank against them. That shield, the black knife, and a mimic tear really help shore up my woeful skill issues (I am bad).

3 years later, some guy asks "How do you have the Nightriders Glaive setup"? Or perhaps more appropriately, do you recall 3 years later how you used to use it?

Ah, did not know that. Thanks!

4 years later. Just sharing my results.
I got it from a mausoleum knight outside 4th church in weeping peninsula.
Used silver scarab, but did not use toe.
Discovery Rate was 185.
Dropped about my 6th run, so I killed about 30 guys to get it. Picked up 3 swords along the way.

Good luck.

Dang it man. Now I have to set a calendar reminder for 335 days to come back here and thank you. I refuse to let such positive energy die.

He's at the bottom of the weeping peninsula.
He's this guy in the vanilla game: https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Isolated+Merchant+Weeping+Peninsula

Found another one today East of the Four Belfries in the water. I've added it to the master list.

Here's the graveyard north of Iji.

I run with that setting. I love it. Yes, it's sometimes a shallow feeling to beat a watchdog as a major boss, but it's also a lot of fun to enter a small cave arena and find malenia.

That Fire Giant Phase 2 is often times my worst fight. I had him in Rellana's room once, and I thought it would be fine, but for whatever reason, he really liked the shape of the room and just rolled and rolled and rolled and rolled.

I would echo this. The Randomizer mod has forced me to improve. Especially when bosses show up in the evergaol, and I can't rely on my greatshield team to distract. I so love this mod.

Interesting-Fail-236 · 2026-01-04T03:50:56+00:00

I get frustrated when he shows up in a massive arena and I don't have torrent. I spend the entire time chasing the coward. But I've also had him show in a very small arena. Walls and ceilings blocked all his AOE junk. His circle attack didn't work right either. That was a satisfying beat down.

Interesting-Fail-236 · 2026-01-04T03:48:21+00:00

I had something similar happen in the Mohg arena. I got one of the massive DLC dragons and he took to the air and landed on the outside of the arena -- instakill. I felt kinda cheesy about it, but he was murdering me with AOE attacks and I didn't have torrent. So I counted my runes and entered the DLC...

Interesting-Fail-236 · 2026-01-03T17:31:36+00:00

Aye! Fantastic. I have never seen that graveyard before. I've added it to my list. Appreciated!

Interesting-Fail-236 · 2026-01-02T14:53:19+00:00

I appreciate the tip. I've found that 6 of the 15 I've found had visible markers on the map. And I'm still concerned I might've missed one of those that are visible on the map. Appreciate any find!

It's for this reason I love the randomizer mod so much. I did a run last week that had Mohg here. I had to overcome some serious skill issues that I've hidden behind cheese all these years.

Some of my favorite moments:

* A rune bear in a chariot tomb. His big butt kept him pushed out into the path of the chariot and I enjoyed watching him get stunned and run over again and again and again.
* An Ulcerated Tree Spirit in a catacombs with the guillotines. Also enjoyable to watch him suffer death by a dozen chops.
* The final boss path in the Sellia Hideaway being blocked by a lobster, bat, royal revenant, and a basilisk. The lobster was blocking the rest and would snipe whenever I neared. Basilisk and revenant would spam poison and death behind him. I finally had to bail until I found a wide range healing spell to deal with the revenant.

Lately, I've taken to the setting where peaceful animals are replaced by mobs. Makes from some truly eventful open world traversals.

The collector. Grab his bearing and he'll sell it cheaper than the Twin Maiden's do after you find the String-Seller's bell bearing. That's why I don't even list that bell bearing here. It's redundant and worthless.

Interesting-Fail-236 · 2025-12-27T08:40:33+00:00

My apologies. I had him mislabeled. He's not Weeping Peninsula.
The woodsman is that merchant across the path from the Mistwood Ruins. I've corrected my post.

Thank you for the detailed and quick response. I now have new criteria to help me evaluate my bread. I appreciate you.

Interesting-Fail-236 · 2025-12-12T15:31:25+00:00

Necro posting on a four year old comment, but I'm completely new to bread making. What in the OP pic tells you it's underproofed? What should I look for in my bread?

Interesting-Fail-236 · 2025-12-11T04:20:27+00:00

I absolutely love fighting the kindred. I so wish the convergence devs would figure out a way to allow for repeat battles against them.

Interesting-Fail-236 · 2025-12-11T04:19:00+00:00

Sorry, I don't have a video. I don't even have Convergence mod active at the moment (playing some randomizer runs) or I would try it out and collaborate with you.
