How to Summon Latenna in Elden Ring: A Comprehensive Guide
To summon Latenna in Elden Ring and complete her questline, you must interact with the giant Albinauric woman located in the Apostate Derelict, a church found in the northwest section of the Consecrated Snowfield. This interaction, performed after obtaining Latenna as a spirit ash, triggers a dialogue sequence that culminates in you receiving a Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone. This powerful upgrade material is essential for maximizing the potential of your unique armaments. Let’s dive into the specifics of this quest and address common player inquiries.
Latenna’s Questline: A Detailed Walkthrough
Latenna’s quest is intricately woven into the narrative of Elden Ring, requiring players to undertake several key steps before they can finally summon her at the Apostate Derelict.
Starting the Quest: Albus’ Medallion and the Slumbering Wolf’s Shack
The journey begins in Liurnia of the Lakes. You first need to locate Albus, an Albinauric hiding in a pot in the Village of the Albinaurics. He will give you one half of the Haligtree Secret Medallion.
After acquiring Albus’s Medallion, your next destination is the Slumbering Wolf’s Shack, also in Liurnia. However, reaching it requires completing the Lakeside Crystal Cave dungeon. Defeat the boss within, and the path to the shack will open.
Meeting Latenna: Ashes or Assistance?
Inside the Slumbering Wolf’s Shack, you’ll find Latenna the Albinauric. If you show her Albus’ Medallion, she will willingly offer herself as a spirit ash summon. Alternatively, if Albus dies before you show her the medallion, she won’t turn into spirit ashes willingly. This is crucial for progressing the quest.
The Consecrated Snowfield and Apostate Derelict
Once you’ve obtained both halves of the Haligtree Secret Medallion and used them at the Grand Lift of Rold to reach the Consecrated Snowfield, you can proceed to the Apostate Derelict. This location is in the far northwest corner of the region. This area is often obscured by blizzards, so be sure to consult your map frequently.
The Final Summoning: Obtaining the Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone
Upon reaching the Apostate Derelict, you’ll find a giant Albinauric woman seated on a throne. To trigger the final step, summon Latenna’s spirit ashes near her. This interaction will initiate a dialogue sequence. Exhausting her dialogue will reward you with the coveted Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone, marking the completion of Latenna’s questline.

It depends. If you have already acquired both halves of the Haligtree Secret Medallion and reached the Mountaintops of the Giants by completing Castle Sol before you even meet Latenna in the Slumbering Wolf’s Shack, then you are likely locked out of Latenna’s quest. This is because she will be found dead at the shack. If you have the medallion but haven’t gone to the Mountaintops yet, you can still begin her quest normally.
