Developer FromSoftware loves to incorporate secrets and hidden items across its titles. The Souls games and Bloodborne featured extensive hidden objects, and Elden Ring is no different. Amber Starlight is a hard-to-find essential item. Finding and using this item is key to one of the hidden side quests, and this guide will run it down for you.
Where to find Amber Starlight
To find the Amber Starlight, make your way to Altus Junction. Head Northeast from the site of grace and into a ravine between two cliffs. You will find the Amber Starlight surrounded by a group of enemies.
Once you clear out this group of enemies, claim the Amber Starlight by the statue’s base. This is an essential item with only one use. It’s a part of a hidden sidequest from Preceptor Seluvis. These are the quest steps for the Ranni betrayal quest that requires this rare item.
