Initially, Nepheli can be found in Stormveil Castle. Exhaust her dialog and she will offer help to defeat Godrick. Her summon sign will be near the fog wall of Godrick, The Grafted boss fight. During the Ranni questline you will meet Preceptor Seluvis, who will give you a potion and will task the Tarnished to have Nepheli drink the potion.

After meeting with the Seluvis, he will give you the potion and tasks you with finding Nepheli and having her drink this potion. If you give Nepheli the potion, she will drink the potion and will leave the Roundtable hold. Nepheli can be found in Seluvis’s laboratory as a puppet, and her Ashes will be available.

Dung Eater is the vilest NPC in all of Lands Between. You will first encounter Dung Eater in a room near Twinhusk Maidens at Roundtable hold. Dung Eater’s real body is locked in a cell in underground Leyndell. It is better to give the Seluvis potion to Dung Eater instead of having Nepheli drink it. 

Although you can get “Mending Rune of the Fell Curse” after completing Dung Eater quest to get an alternate ending, it is not an ending we recommend you should go for. After giving the potion to Dung Eater you can also kill him in his cell, and he will drop his armor. He is also available as a puppet summon, which can be bought from Preceptor Seluvis.

After getting the potion from Seluvis, you can speak with Gideon Ofnir he will give the Tarnished two choices: either give him the potion or do as you please.

If you give him the potion, he will dispose of it and will tell you to lie to Seluvis about giving the potion to Nepheli. And if you do not give him the potion, he will warn you that if you give the potion to Nepheli Loux, she will turn into a puppet.
