Elden Ring Millicent Questline: [Hands-on Experience]

• First, go to Gowry’s Shack, where you’ll meet this NPC to begin the quest.
• The Gowry’s Shack is located in Caelid, just south of the Town of Sellia.
• This town is also known as the Town of Sorcery. While you’re at it, consider reading the Elden Ring revive NPCs guide if you mistakenly killed one in Elden Ring.

After you have reached the location, head inside the Shack, and you’ll meet an NPC called Gowry. This is where the quest begins.

• Interacting with him will initiate a conversation, during which he will tell how he wants to heal a girl.
• For this, he will assign you the task of finding the Unalloyed Gold Needle in the Swamp of Aeonia, another location on the Caelid map.
• While looking for the needle, you will encounter the first boss of this quest line.

To obtain the Unalloyed Gold Needle, follow these steps:

1. Head to the Inner Aeonia Site of Grace, located near the boss spawn area.
2. From the Site of Grace, go to the southeast where you’ll find the Commander O’Neil boss within a circle of trees.
3. Commander O’Neil is a formidable boss, and he has the ability to summon help during the battle. You’ll need to defeat him along with any allies he summons.
4. To make the battle easier, lure Commander O’Neil back to the Inner Aeonia Site of Grace.
5. Near the Site of Grace, you’ll find Scarlet Rot geysers. Use these geysers to drain his health quickly.
6. It’s helpful to have a powerful spirit companion to keep Commander O’Neil distracted while you attack him.
7. Alternatively, you can engage him while riding Torrent, but make sure you’re skilled in controlling your mount.
8. After successfully defeating Commander O’Neil, you’ll be able to loot the Unalloyed Gold Needle from his corpse.

   

1. Return to Gowry’s Shack, where Gowry initially sent you on this quest.
2. Give the Unalloyed Gold Needle to Gowry. In exchange, he will give you Sellia’s Secret.
3. To continue the quest, you will need to visit Gowry once more. You can do this by either using the fast travel option to go elsewhere and then returning to him or by reloading the game. Both methods will work.
4. Once you’ve returned to Gowry, speak to him again. This time, he will give you the repaired Unalloyed Gold Needle.

1. Head to the Church of the Plague, which is located east of Gowry’s Shack. It appears nearby on the map, but it’s actually on top of a cliff.
2. To reach the Church, you have a couple of options:
   • Light the beacons in the village using the Secret of Sellia that Gowry gave you. This will create a path leading to the Church.
   • Visit the Bestial Sanctum and then use Torrent (your mount) to make your way to the Church.
3. Once you’ve reached the Church of the Plague, you’ll find Millicent there. Speak to her to continue the questline.

After reaching the Church of the Plague and finding the injured Millicent, follow these steps to heal her and receive your reward:

1. Give the Unalloyed Gold Needle that you obtained from Gowry to the injured Millicent.
2. After giving her the needle, go to the nearby Site of Grace and sit down at it.
3. Once you’ve rested at the Site of Grace, get up from it and return to Millicent.
4. You’ll find that Millicent is now back on her feet, thanks to your help and Gowry’s assistance.
5. Speak to Millicent, and she will reward you with the Prosthesis-Wearer Heirloom Talisman as a token of gratitude for saving her life. This talisman increases your Dexterity by 5, making it a valuable addition to your equipment.

• After talking to Gowry at his Shack, open the map to fast travel to a nearby Site of Grace and return to his Shack.
• This time, you’ll find Millicent waiting for you. Interacting with her will start a conversation, after which you will need to reload the game once again, which will make Millicent move to her next area.
• From this point onwards, Gowry will act as a merchant as well, as you’ll be able to purchase his Pest Bells spells from him.
• You might also encounter him again during the Millicent questline, but that depends upon the choices you’ll make throughout the quest. 

• For this, you will need to make your way to the Shaded Castle, which can be found in the Atlus Plateau.
• This castle is located on the northern side of the plateau, and its exact location can be seen marked in the image below.

To get the Valkyrie’s Prosthesis, follow these steps:

1. Make your way to the Shaded Castle in the game. The castle is a vast and intriguing location with plenty to explore.
2. Your primary objective is to progress through the castle until you reach a room guarded by a Cleanrot Knight. While navigating through the castle, you’ll encounter numerous enemies. To expedite your quest, it’s advisable to avoid combat with these enemies and focus on reaching the Cleanrot Knight.
3. When you encounter the Cleanrot Knight, you have two options: you can engage in combat with him if you feel confident in your ability to defeat him swiftly, or you can choose to bypass him and enter the room he’s guarding.
4. Inside the room, you’ll discover a chest containing the Valkyrie’s Prosthesis. Collect this item to progress in the questline.

1. Travel to the Erdtree-Gazing Hill Site of Grace.
2. From the Erdtree-Gazing Hill Site of Grace, head northeast to locate Millicent. She will be standing in this area.
3. Interact with Millicent to initiate a conversation and hand over the Valkyrie’s Prosthesis that you obtained earlier. Pay close attention to her dialogue during this conversation.
4. After speaking with Millicent, your next destination is the Windmill Village.

1. Bleed Damage: The Godskin Apostle is weak to Bleed damage, so equip a weapon that inflicts Bleed or consider using the Rivers of Blood Katana, a potent option against this boss.
2. Avoid Spinning Attacks: The boss employs spinning attacks that are difficult to counter. Instead of trying to block or parry, focus on dodging these attacks by rolling away. After the boss finishes a spinning attack, seize the opportunity to strike back.
3. Aggressive Second Phase: Like many bosses in Elden Ring, the Godskin Apostle becomes more aggressive as its health decreases, particularly after reaching around half health. Be prepared for a more intense battle during this phase.
4. Use Bloodhound Step Ash of War: Equip the Bloodhound Step Ash of War to enhance your dodging capabilities, allowing you to evade the boss’s attacks more effectively.
5. Patience and Timing: Patience is key when facing this boss. Wait for openings in its attacks, dodge skillfully, and strike when the time is right. Avoid being overly aggressive, as it can lead to taking unnecessary damage.

• Rest at this Site of Grace, and you’ll find Millicent near it.
• She will have the Valkyrie’s Prosthesis fitted to her arm this time.
• Interact with her and make sure to hear everything she has to say.
• Once done, rest at the Site of Grace, and Millicent will now have moved to a new location. 

1. Prepare with a powerful weapon and useful items.
2. Stay mobile to dodge his attacks.
3. Learn his attack patterns and find openings.
4. Be cautious of area attacks and move away from them.
5. Use Ashes of War to enhance your abilities.
6. Consider summoning AI allies or other players.
7. Be patient and persistent; it may take multiple attempts.

Defeating Margott is a significant achievement and progresses the questline involving Millicent.

To defeat Margott, the Omen King:

1. Prepare with suitable weapons and shields.
2. Focus on dodging his attacks and learning his patterns.
3. Consider using a strong build to enhance your combat abilities.
4. Be patient and persistent; the fight will take time.
5. After defeating Margott, you’ll receive the Rold Medallion.

1. Reach the Ancient Snow Valley Ruins Site of Grace, located south of Castle Sol.
2. Locate Millicent standing near the Site of Grace.
3. Engage in conversation with Millicent.
4. Millicent will discuss accessing the Haligtree using a secret Haligtree medallion.

1. After gaining access to the Haligtree, continue forward.
2. Reach the Prayer Room Site of Grace, facing various enemies along the way.
3. Prior to entering the Prayer Room, defeat the boss named Loretta, Knight of the Haligtree. Ensure the fight remains outside the Prayer Room.
4. Once Loretta is defeated, enter the Prayer Room.
5. Speak to Millicent in the Prayer Room.
6. Keep progressing through Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree until you reach the Elphael Inner Wall Site of Grace, located in the lower parts of the Haligtree.

• Here, you’ll find Millicent on the ground.
• Talk to her to engage in a final conversation with her, and then go and rest at the Site of Grace again.
• Return to Millicent, but you’ll find her dead body this time.
• If you loot her body, you’ll acquire the Unalloyed Gold Needle, which you can later use to get the Miquella’s Needle. 

1. Visit Dragonlord Placidusax, a hidden boss in the game.
2. Equip Miquella’s Needle and use it during the fight with Dragonlord Placidusax.
3. Tame the Flame of Frenzy, removing the mark and avoiding the destructive ending associated with it.
