Elden Ring is an Open-world Action Role-playing game developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. The game, directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, was created in collaboration with fantasy novelist George R.R. Martin, who provided material for the game's setting. Recently Elden Ring has been released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. If you are playing a magic-heavy character in Elden Ring, then Sorceress Sellen is going to be your go-to shopkeeper for all things magical. Available very early on, right after you defeat the Mad Pumpkin Head boss in Waypoint Ruins, she will supply you with Sorceries-type items. However, there appears to be another Sellen in the game. You can find this other Sellen chained up in the Witchbane Ruins. If you attack her there, this will also make the “original” Sellen turn hostile. But what is she doing there? Is there a way to free her? All of these questions and more will be answered in our Elden Ring Sellen Turns Hostile, Witchbane Ruins Chained Up NPC Mystery guide.

Can You Free Sellen From the Witchbane Ruins?

Looks very difficult and there doesn't seem to be any way that we can do this. If you attack him and try to cut his chains, you will only kill her. Doing this will also make the vendor Sellen from the Waypoint Ruins disappear. The same will happen if you accidentally lead an enemy there and they also end up killing the chained Sellen. But what’s very interesting about this is that, when you go back there, this chained-up Sellen will be back there again. But what’s the deal with this seemingly-immortal Sellen?

We're sorry to say that we don't yet know how to do this. But, if previous Dark Souls titles are anything to go by, then we will most likely encounter another, third, Sellen further out in the game. If you have encountered her and know what all of this is about, please don’t be shy and share the details with us in the comments down below.

What to Do if Sellen Turns Hostile in Elden Ring

One thing you should keep in mind is that, If you accidentally jump on her or attack Sellen in Waypoint Ruins, she will turn hostile and close up shop. Attacking the chained-up Sellen will have the same effect. So you shouldn’t attack her – both the Waypoint Ruins and the Witchbane Ruins versions of her – under any circumstances. Elden Ring does posses something similar to the Absolution system from the Dark Souls series. In ER, this is called the Celestial Dew. This consumable allows players to reverse all antagonizations, so it is potentially a way for you to get past this and once again be on friendly terms with Sellen. However, much like the chained-up Sellen, we haven’t yet gotten this item to try it out and we cannot confirm if that is the case or not.
