- There’s the small structure to your left side, which has an elevator that goes down.
- Ride the elevator down into Nokstella Waterfall Basin and rest at the Site of Grace.
- Follow the straight path and clear the basilisk enemies, and you will find an open space where the Baleful Shadow is waiting to greet you.
How to Defeat the Baleful Shadow?
The Baleful Shadow isn’t too hard to fight in Elden Ring, which is a good thing. A greatsword is in his hand. His hits can be challenging and take away half your HP.
However, his attack patterns are very predictable. Furthermore, he leaves himself wide open between his combo strings because he doesn’t move very quickly.
Just stay away from him and throw spells at him. With an Intelligence build, three or four Rock Slings will break his super armor, giving you the chance to get a critical hit on him. Those who make Melee builds will have to wait for his combos to finish before attacking.
If you defeat the Baleful Shadow, you’ll get the Discarded Palace Key, which unlocks the chest at the Grand Library of Raya Lucaria and is needed to finish Ranni’s questline.
