Elden Ring: How to complete Millicent\u2019s quest FromSoftwareMillicent\u2019s quest is an important side story in Elden Ring that comes with some excellent rewards. Here\u2019s how to complete it in every step. Millicent is an NPC in Elden Ring and like so many other characters in the game (and the wider Souls series), Millicent\u2019s quest is a tragic one. The character is heavily connected to the fearsome boss, Malenia, and bears the same curse. However, with your help, Millicent\u2019s story in Elden Ring can end with her reaching her full potential, or it can be cut short prematurely, changing the course of the story. She can also make a valuable ally during several key boss battles. As with other NPCs in Elden Ring, completing Millicent\u2019s questline can result in some nice rewards, some of which are essential for certain overpowered builds in the game, Millicent\u2019s Prosthesis and the Rotten Winged Sword Insignia. These are both powerful talismans, but you can only unlock one per playthrough. Here\u2019s every stage of Millicent\u2019s quest in Elden Ring, how to complete them, as well as the alternative endings for this character\u2019s long and complicated story. We\u2019ll keep the guide spoiler-free, until the final section, so feel free to skip this bit if you don\u2019t want to know the outcome of siding with Millicent. Millicent\u2019s quest beginnings: Caelid Depending on who you meet first, you\u2019ll either become aware of Millicent\u2019s quest by seeing her lying in pain at the Church of Plague in Caelid or you\u2019ll start the quest by meeting Gowry, a red-robed monk sitting in a shack as you enter the region. You can\u2019t do much with Millicent until you\u2019ve spoken to Gowry. Millicent herself will tell you to keep your distance as she\u2019s suffering from Scarlet Rot and doesn\u2019t want to spread it to you. Therefore, speak to Gowry and he\u2019ll tell you how to help Millicent. You\u2019ll need to head deeper into Caelid and locate Commander O\u2019Neil in the Swamp of Aeonia. O\u2019Neil is tough to kill, but when you do he\u2019ll drop the Unalloyed Gold Needle. With the Needle in your possession, return to Gowry and he\u2019ll either repair the Needle for you or instruct you to light three torches in Sellia, Town of Sorcery. This all depends on if you\u2019ve already unlocked the area where Millicent is. If not, use Torrent to climb the branches and light all three torches, then return to Gowry. If any barriers were blocking your way to Millicent, they\u2019ll now be gone. Once Gowry has repaired the Needle, go to Millicent and give it to her. This will instantly heal her pain and she\u2019ll thank you for your help and give you the Prosthesis-Wearer Heirloom as a reward. After this, Millicent will travel to Gowry\u2019s shack to learn more about her mysterious savior, but when you return there you\u2019ll only find her, not him. Exhaust her dialogue, leave, then return to find Gowry again and exhaust his dialogue to continue the quest. If you travel to the Altus Plateau through the Ruin-Strewn Precipice in Liurnia of the Lakes, you\u2019ll be able to summon Millicent to aid you against the boss Magma Wyrm Makar. She\u2019s traveling this way too, so this will give you a clue as to where the quest is headed next. If you summon them, she\u2019ll also happily fight alongside Great Horned Tragoth and Blackguard Big Boggart, if you befriended the latter by buying his prawns and resolving his dispute with Rya amicably. Altus Plateau Millicent will then travel to the Altus Plateau, not far from the Erdtree-Gazing Hill Site of Grace, continuing the quest she was on before she got sick. Millicent is searching for the demi-god Malenia and will tell you about her fascination with the Shardholder. Exhaust her dialogue when you see her to further the questline. From here, you\u2019ll need to head to The Shaded Castle which is located in the north of the Altus Plateau in the green area. It takes some reaching but once you\u2019re there you can activate the Site of Grace to save making the journey again. The castle is home to a powerful boss known as Elemer of the Briar, the Bell Bearing Hunter you may have come across at different points of the game. The good news is you don\u2019t need to take on Elemer yet, just search the castle for a chest that contains the Valkyrie\u2019s Prosthesis item and bring it back to Millicent and exhaust her dialogue again. Now travel to the Dominula, Windmill Village. A cliffside hamlet where the women appear to have murdered all the men in a creepy Pagan-inspired ritual. You can get here most easily by using the portal located near the Forest-Spanning Greatbridge Site of Grace. The dancing denizens will ignore you at first, but will eventually attack when you get deeper into the village. When you get to the top of the village you\u2019ll notice a summon sign for Millicent, summon her if you like, but it\u2019s not mandatory for the quest. Either with Millicent\u2019s help, or solo, kill the Godskin Apostle boss and activate the Site of Grace. Killing this boss will reward you with the Godskin Peeler item. You may need to re-load or warp away from the area and return, but when you do you\u2019ll find Millicent waiting for you, once again, exhaust her dialogue to further the quest\u2019s story. The Haligtree Millicent will now move to her next location, but you\u2019ll be able to summon her as an ally against the Draconic Tree Sentinel and Black Blade Kindred bosses if you\u2019ve been following her questline correctly. This isn\u2019t necessary to further the quest, but it\u2019s a nice way to call on an ally and keep the character\u2019s story fresh in your mind. When you rest at the Ancient Snow Valley Ruins Site of Grace, you\u2019ll notice Millicent resting here too. Exhaust her dialogue for her to continue her journey after your campfire chat. To see Millicent again, you\u2019ll need to gain access to the Haligtree, which is an optional area and part of a lengthy side quest all of its own. In a nutshell, you\u2019ll need to do the following to reach it: Obtain the right half of the Haligtree Medallion from Albus in the Village of the Albinaurics. – Kill at least two demi-god Shardbearers. – Obtain the left half of the Haligtree Medallion from Castle Sol after defeating the powerful boss. – Use the Haligtree Medallion to access the Lift of Rold. – Use the Lift of Rold to reach the Consecrated Snowfield. – Solve the puzzle at Ordina, Liturgical Town, then enter the portal to the Haligtree. – Make your way through the Haligtree until you reach the Prayer Room in Elpael Brace. Once you\u2019ve rested here Millicent should appear leaning against a pillar. Exhaust her dialogue and keep moving. When you reach the poison swamp area, you\u2019ll see an Ulcerated Tree Spirit boss, defeat it then reload or teleport from and back to this location. Now it\u2019s time for the endgame of the quest and you\u2019ve a choice to make. Millicent\u2019s quest: Final steps You\u2019ll now see two summon signs on the ground once the Ulcerated Tree Spirit is dead and you\u2019ve returned to the area. You can now either be summoned by Millicent to aid her in a battle against her four corrupted sisters, or you can invade and kill her yourself. Should you choose to invade Millicent, you\u2019ll need to defeat her in battle. Once she\u2019s dead, you\u2019ll be able to take Millicent\u2019s Prosthesis from her body, a talisman that boosts Dexterity and attack power with successive attacks. However, if you choose to help your ally in fighting off her sisters, you\u2019ll unlock two other items, the Rotton Sword Insignia, and the Unalloyed Gold Needle. The Rotten Sword Insignia greatly boosts attack power with successive strikes, making it a very useful item for Dexterity builds. The Unalloyed Gold Needle can be used after the boss fight with Malenia to obtain Miquella\u2019s Needle, an item that can be used to reverse the Frenzied Flame ending should you change your mind. In truth, both the Rotten Sword Insignia and Millicent\u2019s Prosthesis are useful items, but you can only unlock one per playthrough. So, we\u2019d suggest siding with Millicent in your first playthrough to obtain the Rotten Sword Insignia but betray her in a second playthrough to obtain Millicent\u2019s Prothesis. Of course, you can do this in the opposite order, it all depends on the ending you\u2019re trying to get. You can also get another player to drop one of the items for you, meaning you can obtain both in a single playthrough. The buffs from both items stack with each other and when used in conjunction, making the Rotten Sword Insignia and Millicent\u2019s Prosthesis a powerful combination when used together. Remember, you can\u2019t simply kill Millicent at the start of the quest to obtain any of these items. You\u2019ll need to follow the quest through and make your decision at the end. This includes the Unalloyed Gold Needle, which can\u2019t be used to obtain Miquella\u2019s Needle until after it\u2019s been in Millicent\u2019s possession. So, you can\u2019t get it repaired by Gowry and then use it after the fight with Malenia. It can only be used this way after Millicent\u2019s quest has ended. However, if you already have both items, have no need for Miquella\u2018s Needle in your playthrough, and don\u2019t want to replay the quest. You can always put Millicent out of her misery when you meet her. Just remember she\u2019s a useful ally in several boss battles and completing her quest doesn\u2019t require any additional effort. Millicent\u2019s quest ending explained Spoilers for Millicent\u2019s quest are below. After helping Milicent fend off her sisters the tragic truth will be revealed. Millicent was never cured of Scarlet Rot. It was only ever held at bay by the Unalloyed Gold Needle while she gestated a new Scarlet Aeonia, essentially causing a new wave of Scarlett Rott which Gowry\u2019s kind all worship as a blessing. Realizing this after seeing her sisters, Millicent chooses to remove the Needle, dying of Scarlet Rot but ending the threat. Her powers however have been transferred to the Needle, allowing you to use it on the Aeonia that Malenia leaves behind to create Miquella\u2019s Needle. If you return to Gowry to confront him about his deception, the monk will express his frustration that Millicent saw through his plot and prevented it. At this point, feel free to slay him for his treachery and his true form will be revealed. You\u2019ll obtain the Flock\u2019s Canvas Talisman for your efforts and Gowry\u2019s Bell Bearing. Take the Bell Bearing to the Roundtable Hold to continue to access Gowry\u2019s shop. If you betrayed Millicent and killed her, Gowry will already be dead when you return to him and you can still retrieve both items.
