TheChelona’s Rise puzzleinElden Ringcan be one of the trickier ones to solve. If you’ve explored the Lands Between, you’ve likely come across at least one of these towers before. The sealed structures are scattered throughout the game, and you can access each of them by solving a puzzle.
Chelona’s Rise is found in Liurnia of the Lakes, and while the principle of getting into this tower is the same as the others, you need to search much further afield to find the wise beasts you’re after. It’s also worth noting that Chelona’s Rise is inaccessible unless you’ve worked your way throughRanni’s questline. So without further ado, here’s how to gain access to Chelona’s Rise and the reward for doing so.
How to break the seal
Chelona’s Rise is located on the plateauin the southwest corner of Liurnia of the Lakes, only accessible at the end of Ranni’s quest. The tower itself sits in the southwest corner of the plateau and when you first approach it, you’ll notice the seal blocking the door.
As with other sealed towers dotted around the Lands Between, you need to interact with the imp statue outside which tells you to “Seek three great wise beasts”. This causes three ghostly turtles to spawn around the area, and you’ll need to find and attack each one to break the seal blocking your access to the tower.
Where to find the ‘three great wise beasts’
The turtles you need to find are widely spread around the area, making them fairly tricky to find. It also seems thateither dying or fast traveling to cover ground more quickly can cause the remaining turtles to disappearuntil you interact with the statue again.
Once you’ve got all three turtles, head back to Chelona’s Rise and enter the tower. Head up two sets of stairs and use the lift to reach the top of the tower. The chest in the room here contains the Ranni’s Dark Moonsorcery.
