Here’s the pinned comment. CORRECTION: It seems you can still do the quest even if you burn the Erdtree at the Forge of the Giants. UPDATE: I released a new video on how to cheese/easily defeat Malenia, which you can find here: ua-cam.com/video/CDVwGYF2Iec/v-deo.html PROBLEM #1: Millicent is hostile/attacking you SOLUTION: Perform an Absolution Ritual (requires celestial dew). Absolution can be done at the Church of Vows in Liurnia (this doesn’t work if you killed Millicent) I will update with helpful information as time goes on!
Thanks for helping me with the quest line however there is one question that has been bothering me and no one can answer it throughout the internet not even Google when you get to the end after the Elden beast what choice do you make to view Millicent's ending ?????? There are 2 people I know that I did the ending for other than millicent... Ranni and Fia I see the choice for their endings and the normal ending but nothing regarding miquellas needle ......😰😦 This is absurd!!!!
@@sunsguide6624 so, how Miquella’s needle works is that if you’ve locked yourself into the flame of frenzy/Hietta’s ending it will override all other endings and be the one you’re stuck with UNLESS you use Miquella’s needle at the dragonlord arena in crumbling farum azula. Using the needle doesn’t give you any new options for endings but it restores your ability to pick one of the endings you’ve earned instead of being stuck with the flame of frenzy ending. Hope that clears things up!
@@sunsguide6624 I’ll also add that I think it’s dumb for the needle not to have its own ending. Personally I thought there might be a true ending if you 1. Collect all the mending Runes/possible endings. 2. Take the flame of frenzy into yourself. And 3. Use Miquella’s needle at crumbling farum azula before defeating the Elden beast. That would be a cool “true” ending to get but I haven’t been able to test it myself (and won’t be able to until a second new game + or new game altogether) and as far as I’ve seen online there is not special ending like that.
@@ItsShatter I see well apparently there's 10 other place saying that there is they even have the guide for Millicent's quest specifically for that secret ending so they say...lol but I'll keep investigating I need to find out for sure until then I'll just enjoy my prize to relic sword and I won't to view any endings until I know for sure that there's not one directly linked to Millicent.
@@sunsguide6624 with Miquella’s needle it’s possible to have the flame of frenzy quest complete and burn the erdtree yourself - sparing Melina- then you can use the needle to reverse the frenzied flame and still choose an ending- thats as much of a “secret” / special ending related to Millicent’s quest
Quick note, at least for me, as long as you cure her poison and talk to her at the Gowry Shack you can STILL complete her questline. I went as far burning the Erdtree and was still able to complete it.
@@davaghnpickett1148 you might need to rest at a site of Grace then go back. You should see a gold one and a red one. (Oh and you have to defeat that mini boss there first)
Am I locked out? I killed the Mini boss before giving talking with her in the swamps and giving her an arm. She stopped appearing anywhere after Altus. Been desperately looking tor answers...😭😢
Daughter of Malenia.. man the look of her at the end, lying alone in scarlett flowers, near pond of rot in Elphael, willing to die to avoid her sad fate - I think for me her story is the most touching of all quests in Elden Ring. I remember I stood there for like 20 minutes near her :( Now I'm simply running a cosplay build to honor her. BTW: if you wondering why she is clearly Goddes of Rot daughter here is one of Gowrys lines: " _This is a wonderful development. Thank you for your kindness. Now Millicent may fully realise her true warrior's potential. Like her beautiful mother_ ."
Wish I knew about this quesy before the forge I could of went far. Never mind though I can still do ranni's ending apparently. Don't know if its good though
@@therealvergil666 Really? I mean I only did the questline because of im a mage and it gave me a lot of stuff. This is my first playthrough and my friend told me the malenia one is the best. I guess it would be fitting to do the ending with a mage as a mage.
Well if you are doing the all out bleed build you need both her reward and drop, so help her first then kill her, so Technically you don't betray her :D Edit: it's been patched out, you cannot get both on same playthrough.
@@chrxs61632 And this is why you don't skim messages kids! I said Very clearly "if you are doing the all out bleed build you need both her reward and drop, so help her first then kill her"
Thank you for carrying a torch while showing the route to stuff. It’s never hard to see where you’re going in darker areas! Might be a silly detail, but I find it very helpful. Great video!
I found Millicent on accident while trying to get sacred tears and I felt extremely bad for her just seeing her rotting away , I'm glad I was able to help just a bit even though she still dies in the end. this questline is by far one of my favorites in elden ring
I beat every regular game boss, burned the erdtree, killed the elden beast, killed every DLC boss, then came back to do millicent following this guide. In case anyone was wondering if it was still possible after completing the game. I basically just jumped to the sites of grace in order and she was just there. Thanks for the guide!
Its Shatter really does make the best Elden Ring guides one can find on UA-cam. I'm just happy I've found your channel. You've been a huge help without spoiling anything important. You are as rare as the Galarian versions of Articuno, Zapdos and Lavados in PGO.
9:03 Just found the best way to kill this thing if anyone else is having trouble with it Go into the pit to spawn it, then jump back onto the branch that you jumped off of to get to the area and kill it with range attacks. Just be careful with incantations that make you move like lightning spear so you don't fall off.
An upgraded long bow with mighty shot does a great job for times like that, it takes very little fp, hits pretty hard depending on the type of arrows you pick and the enemy you are facing. As much as I see people saying how shit bows are I find myself using mine a decent amount of the time, especially when you are not trying to draw a bunch of attention or are far away. It's a shame that they didn't do more with bows, maybe some good ashes, buffs, etc.
I did the quest, I managed to take out that Rotten Tree Stump and I aided Millicent until the end. It took me the DLC and patience (I summoned two people for aid, but the blasted tree monster pushed me down just before the players got to assist me). Man, was that a harrowing 41 minutes today.
dude i applaud you for putting so much work into making sure that everyone knew where to go and what to do, most people will just post the location and give a brief explanation of how to get there and thats fine, but you went the extra mile and for that i have to say thank you

@@stuartmitchell3739 it was in volcano manor yes, theres 2 invisible walls to get a fairly strong summon, havwnt uses it myself so idk, but the 50 hit wall was a bug and is indeed patched almost 2 years ago

@@mirage_gt yea it worked for me, I was able to do her whole quest. That’s weird tho, she should be there, for she showed up after I killed the boss and sat at the grace. You went to windmill village right?
But where, i killed the godskin before giving the prosthetic arm to millicent and i couldn't find her anywhere, not an the mountains top, not at the haligtree
i have a massive problem with any time i go to look up a tutorial on this game, they almost always lack explanation, key items, how to get to locations or key quest lines you should or should not complete, you are by far the only guy who seems to do a fleshed out tutorial thank you
Thank you so much for the guide! As a side note, I did the Frenzied Flame ending and started this quest and was able to complete the quest today. I was able to continue her questline from Moutaintop of the Giants though I did defeated the Fire Giant beforehand. As of patch 1.04, I believe this quest is doable completely after you finish the game.
5:24 I just did it today after beating NG+ and also did it in my first play through after completing the game. I'd say its safe to say you can do this quest whenever you want
@@exseliorpheonix5177 the only other way I know of makes Melina mad at you and causes the Chaos ending. If you don’t know about it I’d go explore the capital some more
I had already completed Ranni's quest and ending before doing most NPC quests like IRON FIST Alexander Millicent and Fia/ D all these quest can be done after beating the game which was a relief
At 5:36 he said we may not able to complete quest after malena's ritual but it's not true. You can find her here or complete malicent quest after that ritual too.
I really like how you say "you might put Millicent in danger" instead of just saying "you might kill Millicent." Simple wording like that says a lot about you as a person, in my opinion. Good man.
all i can tell you is i beat the firgiant and went to azula, THEN i went to give millicent her arm and proceeded to the top of mountain giants and just talked to her now, thats where i am
Thanks so much for this guide! I accidentally locked myself to the frenzied flame and made it to the Elden beast and wanted to undo it. So I really needed this
You are my best channel for whatever quest I need man, even your narration is on point. Even tho I usually search the item/npc/quest on fextralife, I come then to youtube and look up if you have the questline on your channel
My man THANK YOU! It may sound stupid but i thought i finished millicents quest after healing her from scarlet rot and thought “boy that was anticlimactic” lol
I took the risk and killed Gowry before killing Malenia. He was in the despair state like in the video and dropped both the bell and talisman. Also I assisted Millicent. Good luck all.
For anyone that is not finding her at erdtree-gazing hill (4:00)… you’ll need to go back to gowry’s shack and talk to her again. And then she will appear at erdtree-gazing hill. This guide, while good, makes no mention of this.
Not sure if it's already been said, but you can definitely finish Millicent's entire story even after beating the game. I completely forgot about her way back during your trip to Altus and continued the quest from there
Thank you so much for this brother, cheers 🍻❤️ Quick tip: you can still do the quest even when the Erdtree is burning or if you killed Malenia early so don’t be worried.
As a fan of the souls games I was hesitant on getting Elden Ring since a lot of my friends told me it’s an empty sandbox I’m so glad I didn’t listen 60 hours deep and I’m having the most fun I’ve had throughout the whole franchise thank you for this helpful guide
Bro ty I can’t tell you how much that mfer was wrecking me. I honestly feel like with my just straight up str and dex build that stupid rot tree was harder then rakard, Margott, radahn, or any of the other bosses. I figured there had to be a cheese for him but ffs man I’m not even sure how it’s possible to beat that mfer by not cheesing him from the root cus he literally goes ape shit and just knocks you off or one shots you
@@Xx_Joe2012epicgamersquad_xXI forgot to mention that I found her in the end, I didn't finish the whole conversation with her before the fire giant, then I should have tried to see her there
Don't know if this is intentional on your part, but you background music hits hard both on 1x and 2x speeds. I usually watch ur vids on 2x and like how hard the bgm hits, then I slow down to see it still hits hard. Othere channels should do the same. Great job 👍
Not unplayable... Would take a lot of time to figure out but eventually ppl discover those things. Also when there was no internet we used magazines guides and this kind of stuf.. ppl used to share discoveries irl too
If you don’t see the summon signs go around the area to all the grace sights. She was waiting with dialogue for me and then let me help her in the final fight near the rot pond.
I really enjoyed helping her out and being nice to her to the very end, I did do her quest line after killing Malenia but it was still cool to do, sad to see her pass after fighting with her. Millicent was a very cool part of the game. I'd hate to fight such a kind character.
Yeah I know the talisman you get from killing her is pretty good, but I can never bring myself to betray such a kind and pure-hearted character. After all, truly good people are a rare thing in the world of Elden Ring where most things want to kill you.
just a heads up, I did the fire giant fight and I am currently able to do this quest. Hence me being here lol, but killing the fire giant doesn't end her questline at all.
me too i just killed it and came here to do her quest i hit her on accident at gowry shack and let her kill me and she de spawned does it affect anything ?
There is an air stream if you go to fort faroth(the fort north east of the church, 1:53) that lets you jump down to the church of plague so you don’t have to even enter the town and light it’s torches.
Commander O’neil help: You can lead him outside the arena to where those gysers in the ground that spit up scarlet rot for massive damage are. Ride around on your horse and lead him into the gysers. You can literally just kill him that way and you don’t have to deal with all the little enemies. Just a way to cheese him if you’re stuck!
I had trouble fighting the rot boss right AND assisting Millicent against sisters. Half of the sisters kept killing Millicent before i could finish the other two. Here's what helped for both in case anyone needs help : 1.) trigger rot boss by lake and immediately retreat back to the branch to lure it for a ranged fight. 2) use the shabriris woe talisman that keeps enemies aggro'd on you. The fight will be a tad more tough but It'll keep millicent alive longer which is the only problem i had in this fight. Good guide though thank you
One thing to add, if you kill the putrid tree spirit at the fight location before getting Millicent to the haligtree, you need to kill it again for the summon signs to appear
5:39 - I just did this quest line after beating the game, only part I had done was randomly snagging the prosthesis while exploring the shaded castle. Was still able to complete this despite progressing to the end of the base game
Subbed for Marshmello! Great guide, about to NG+3 and was going to do an full evil run (as painfull as it sounds) and actually learned a few things, thanks!
You can indeed now complete that quest if you killed everything but this video still helped me. I finished the game watched the video and did this exact questline, so thank you. Even tho the post is old. Still relevant to some getting ready for Shadow
Fun fact: you can summon Millicent at gael tunnel without her prosthetic arm to assist you with the magma wyrn boss. Take the original route to the base of the altus plateau then talk to her (max out her dialogue just in case) and then proceed to the gael tunnel up to the boss's fog door and her summon sign should be there alongside with blackguard and the GOAT himself summon signs.
In case anyone missed this quest like me, I was still able to finish this after setting the erd tree on fire, taking frenzied flame, forgetting to summon her for the black blade kindred, and killing melania
@@shadowfeargaming2199 I hadn't killed elden beast yet, so that's probably why you couldn't see summon signs. But I was still able to see the summons after killing Melania. I accidentally beat her, I was expecting to die as usual with her, and didn't see anyone mention if you can still do this quest after Melania.
Great walkthrough! I’m trying to grab everything I can before NewGame+ and this video is exactly what you want for a quest line guide. You got a sub from me!
It's pretty cool if you look down at the place you fight the rotten tree spirit and end the quest, you can see malenias boss arena, you're actually right above it, if u drop down you'll land inside it. That room is so pretty but it's probably the deadliest room in the game.
I killed gowrey after aiding Millicent and then killing her, trying to get both, sadly that was patched in 1.3 but I still got gowreys talisman after killing him lol
For anyone struggling with Commander O’Neal, the best strategy is to get on your horse and then run at him briefly before getting one hit in and then running away. This takes a bit of patience but it works
This tutorial was well done and I subscribed. I hope marshmallow gets an extra treat with her/his meow mix!. Hope to see more of your work when the DLC drops! I can't wait.
this guide was so much more thorough than all the other videos I watched, thanks! I tried getting the rotten insignia after killing Malenia and couldn't find her so assumed that I had already ruined the quest line. this is so involved and no one else mentioned all the locations. easy sub - thanks again
QUESTION: 9:25 the summons arent showing up, i have killed the fire giant on this NG+, will i have to start a new one and refrain from burning the erdtree before getting here?
Almost all. However, after helping millicent and getting the golden needle I went back to the rot flower and there was no prompt to use the needle to get miquellas needle or the ancient dragon smithing stone
Easiest way to beat Malenia 1. remove all spells except swarm of flies 2. use mimic 3. spam swarm of flies 4. win Do not do it first time it is essentially cheating.
@@Soveey Ehh I got 2 people to spam swarm of flies on her with me, No respec needed, no blasphamous blade just flies, and a wonderous physic that increases stager chance and infinite mana. She died so fast. she couldn't even attack it was great, absolutly beautiful. Ima reccomend that meathod to all my friends, blood hound step and flies, thats all you need to put that brother incesty freak down.

@@fabledreaper4408 check the house where the old man was she was there for me before the other locations
i have a massive problem with any time i go to look up a tutorial on this game, they almost always lack explanation, key items, how to get to locations or key quest lines you should or should not complete, you are by far the only guy who seems to do a fleshed out tutorial thank you
Thank you so much for the guide!
As a side note, I did the Frenzied Flame ending and started this quest and was able to complete the quest today. I was able to continue her questline from Moutaintop of the Giants though I did defeated the Fire Giant beforehand. As of patch 1.04, I believe this quest is doable completely after you finish the game.
5:24 I just did it today after beating NG+ and also did it in my first play through after completing the game. I'd say its safe to say you can do this quest whenever you want
I was wondering what do I do so I don't have to sacrifice Melina
@@exseliorpheonix5177 the only other way I know of makes Melina mad at you and causes the Chaos ending. If you don’t know about it I’d go explore the capital some more
I had already completed Ranni's quest and ending before doing most NPC quests like IRON FIST Alexander Millicent and Fia/ D all these quest can be done after beating the game which was a relief
At 5:36 he said we may not able to complete quest after malena's ritual but it's not true. You can find her here or complete malicent quest after that ritual too.
Thank you bro
Thank god bruh
I really like how you say "you might put Millicent in danger" instead of just saying "you might kill Millicent." Simple wording like that says a lot about you as a person, in my opinion. Good man.
yes hes very classy
No, come on now, it's just what it is. Using euphemisms for this case doesn't make you more considerate, classy or whatever.
Literally only being able to beat these quest because of this channel, thank you so much for thorough and easy to understand walkthrough
Your guides and walkthrough are phenomenal and feels like I’m watching a miniseries of Elden Ring.
This helped a lot. Can confirm you can still do this after you beat the final boss
all i can tell you is i beat the firgiant and went to azula, THEN i went to give millicent her arm and proceeded to the top of mountain giants and just talked to her now, thats where i am
I have beat the final boss and complete the quest after it.
Currently doing this questline after beating the final boss so I can confirm it’s a go 💯 ( just gave her arm back to her as I’m typing this 😂👍🏾 )
@@Bkwrds1 fuck yeah I’m about to start, thank you for the confirmation.
Thanks so much for this guide! I accidentally locked myself to the frenzied flame and made it to the Elden beast and wanted to undo it. So I really needed this
You are my best channel for whatever quest I need man, even your narration is on point. Even tho I usually search the item/npc/quest on fextralife, I come then to youtube and look up if you have the questline on your channel
These guides you guys make are unreal, thanks for the time and effort man much appreciated :O)
My man THANK YOU! It may sound stupid but i thought i finished millicents quest after healing her from scarlet rot and thought “boy that was anticlimactic” lol
I love this questline and rannis. From did a great job this time around with quests making them worth while. Goodjob on this guide dude. 👍
This was very helpful man I didnt realize how much you gotta do for her questline much appreciation
I took the risk and killed Gowry before killing Malenia. He was in the despair state like in the video and dropped both the bell and talisman. Also I assisted Millicent. Good luck all.
I killed him before starting the quest by accident (pressed L1 and 1 shot him🥲)
@@fizzyg9850 sadness
One of those fecking dogs killed him.
Not sure if I can complete the questline now?
@@ethancoster1324 the same happened to me, I was talking to him and the dog killed him through the wall
@@umad9593 this literally just happened to me rn
For anyone that is not finding her at erdtree-gazing hill (4:00)… you’ll need to go back to gowry’s shack and talk to her again. And then she will appear at erdtree-gazing hill.
This guide, while good, makes no mention of this.
Thanks so much
Not sure if it's already been said, but you can definitely finish Millicent's entire story even after beating the game. I completely forgot about her way back during your trip to Altus and continued the quest from there
Can I still do her quest after killing malania?
@@connerenquist6704 I'm almost certain you can finish Millicent's quest even if Malenia is dead
Thank you so much for this brother, cheers 🍻❤️
Quick tip: you can still do the quest even when the Erdtree is burning or if you killed Malenia early so don’t be worried.
As a fan of the souls games I was hesitant on getting Elden Ring since a lot of my friends told me it’s an empty sandbox I’m so glad I didn’t listen 60 hours deep and I’m having the most fun I’ve had throughout the whole franchise thank you for this helpful guide
The saddest part of this quest was having to kill Gowry's gudboi outside his shack everytime you visit him. Man needs to put that thing on a leash
my dog doesn't bite
the dog in question:
I'm leaving a comment just for boost up the algorithm, it's the less I can do for these amazing tutorials. Cheers mate
Thanks Luca, much appreciated!
Amazing job! You made an Elden Ring quest guide not a nightmare to follow!!!
The boss in the swamp is easy when you get on a specific root nearby.
With the blood flie incantation you can kill him pretty fast
Which root specifically?
@@niklasheller7429 not sure but there is a video on yt where it's shown.
Before you enter the swamp, walk around to see where you can go
@@darkerthanblack8897 you and yumeko thanks :D
Bro ty I can’t tell you how much that mfer was wrecking me. I honestly feel like with my just straight up str and dex build that stupid rot tree was harder then rakard, Margott, radahn, or any of the other bosses. I figured there had to be a cheese for him but ffs man I’m not even sure how it’s possible to beat that mfer by not cheesing him from the root cus he literally goes ape shit and just knocks you off or one shots you
Great guide, you can do it even after beating miquella for anyone wondering!
I see her in the mountains but after i can find her in prayer room :(
@@johnnystraw6221 yeah same :/
@@Xx_Joe2012epicgamersquad_xXI forgot to mention that I found her in the end, I didn't finish the whole conversation with her before the fire giant, then I should have tried to see her there
Don't know if this is intentional on your part, but you background music hits hard both on 1x and 2x speeds.
I usually watch ur vids on 2x and like how hard the bgm hits, then I slow down to see it still hits hard.
Othere channels should do the same. Great job 👍
without the help of youtube, this game would be unplayable
Yea if it wasn't for youtube I would still be dying to the tree sentinel and varee
@@cb7pwn only if you are doing the NPC stuff. Other things can be figured out if you look hard enough ☺️
@@cb7pwn you should just stick to copy paste ubisoft games
Not unplayable... Would take a lot of time to figure out but eventually ppl discover those things. Also when there was no internet we used magazines guides and this kind of stuf.. ppl used to share discoveries irl too
@@leonardofontes7007 yea like Nintendo power and gampro back in the day lol
Just wanted to say thank you. This video and the Haligtree ones were super helpful!!
Hey Cameron, I’m happy to help! Thanks for the support and kind words!
If you don’t see the summon signs go around the area to all the grace sights. She was waiting with dialogue for me and then let me help her in the final fight near the rot pond.
BRO I DID and i STILL cant find her
I can confirm as of 04/03/2022, you can still do Millicent's quest after burning the Erdtree.
Hero
That's my birthday!!
I really enjoyed helping her out and being nice to her to the very end, I did do her quest line after killing Malenia but it was still cool to do, sad to see her pass after fighting with her. Millicent was a very cool part of the game. I'd hate to fight such a kind character.
Yeah I know the talisman you get from killing her is pretty good, but I can never bring myself to betray such a kind and pure-hearted character. After all, truly good people are a rare thing in the world of Elden Ring where most things want to kill you.
just a heads up, I did the fire giant fight and I am currently able to do this quest. Hence me being here lol, but killing the fire giant doesn't end her questline at all.
me too i just killed it and came here to do her quest i hit her on accident at gowry shack and let her kill me and she de spawned does it affect anything ?
Killing the fire giant and lighting the erdtree on fire are two diff things but I heard even if u do both you can still complete her quest line
The site of grace next to that boss is a great place to farm the Cleanrot Knight armour set which has very high immunity. Then go fight the boss 👍
Thanks for the tips!
Halo Scythe can be found in the same area.
No, trust me it's not worth it, the drop rates are traumatizing
@@brian8ththo698 took me 30 mins to get the full set plus 2 swords and 1 scythe.
@@brian8ththo698 You can increase your item discovery with a silver scarab
pls make all quest tutorials😭 yours has the best so far as you explain every step in detail . thanks a lot !
Go check out my “all quests in order + missable content” ultimate guide for this game. I think it would be perfect!
I can confirm you can still complete all steps after the certain "ritual" at the Mountaintop of the Giants. As I just did it
There is an air stream if you go to fort faroth(the fort north east of the church, 1:53) that lets you jump down to the church of plague so you don’t have to even enter the town and light it’s torches.
You can still do her quest no matter what. Did the lord of frenzied flame ending not too long ago and started her quest after killing the Elden Beast
Commander O’neil help: You can lead him outside the arena to where those gysers in the ground that spit up scarlet rot for massive damage are. Ride around on your horse and lead him into the gysers. You can literally just kill him that way and you don’t have to deal with all the little enemies. Just a way to cheese him if you’re stuck!
Just sneak up crouching behind him and spam poison mist he will not move until suddenly dead.
Just fight him on a horse with a halberd lol he cant do shit
He kept resetting for me today before getting to any of the geysers. He'd legit get RIGHT next to the closest one and would disappear.
Tree spirit much harder than expected. And I already beat Melania ages ago...
It can be a real jerk especially on that small area/ledge
You can just make it spawn and after that run up the branch from which you entered. Just shoot it from there at a safe distance.
I had trouble fighting the rot boss right AND assisting Millicent against sisters. Half of the sisters kept killing Millicent before i could finish the other two.
Here's what helped for both in case anyone needs help
: 1.) trigger rot boss by lake and immediately retreat back to the branch to lure it for a ranged fight.
2) use the shabriris woe talisman that keeps enemies aggro'd on you. The fight will be a tad more tough but It'll keep millicent alive longer which is the only problem i had in this fight.
Good guide though thank you
One thing to add, if you kill the putrid tree spirit at the fight location before getting Millicent to the haligtree, you need to kill it again for the summon signs to appear
Where do you kill it
@@zaidnaji4953 did you find out
@@sidney8233he literally said it in the video
@@SmokeSlim commented 6 months ago…
Hellooo excellent guide bro!!
I did it after end game final boss and it all flowed nicely
So it’s ok to do the quest late game!
5:39 - I just did this quest line after beating the game, only part I had done was randomly snagging the prosthesis while exploring the shaded castle. Was still able to complete this despite progressing to the end of the base game
Omg thank you so much for finally helping me complete this quest 🙏😭💯
Subbed for Marshmello! Great guide, about to NG+3 and was going to do an full evil run (as painfull as it sounds) and actually learned a few things, thanks!
You can indeed now complete that quest if you killed everything but this video still helped me. I finished the game watched the video and did this exact questline, so thank you. Even tho the post is old. Still relevant to some getting ready for Shadow
Very informative guide, probably one of the best - Love how you lay it out and the time stamps are on point. Keep up the good work :D
I was so worried when you said you couldn’t do this after doing the ritual with Melina but I found her at the giants mountain so it’s okay
Fun fact: you can summon Millicent at gael tunnel without her prosthetic arm to assist you with the magma wyrn boss.
Take the original route to the base of the altus plateau then talk to her (max out her dialogue just in case) and then proceed to the gael tunnel up to the boss's fog door and her summon sign should be there alongside with blackguard and the GOAT himself summon signs.
Very helpful! Thank you. Love that you show the actual locations on the map.
In case anyone missed this quest like me, I was still able to finish this after setting the erd tree on fire, taking frenzied flame, forgetting to summon her for the black blade kindred, and killing melania
How? I can’t see the invasion symbols after killing Melanie.
How can u see it I cant seen anything and ive killed the main boss shame to be honest 😔
@@shadowfeargaming2199 I hadn't killed elden beast yet, so that's probably why you couldn't see summon signs. But I was still able to see the summons after killing Melania. I accidentally beat her, I was expecting to die as usual with her, and didn't see anyone mention if you can still do this quest after Melania.
I did all this quest after ending the GAME watching your clip so dont worry you won’t miss this quest in any situation
Great walkthrough! I’m trying to grab everything I can before NewGame+ and this video is exactly what you want for a quest line guide. You got a sub from me!
My new series might serve as a great companion for your NG+ run. Find it over on my channel!
Tremendous walkthrough explained well easy to follow great tips thank you for all you do. Makes game more enjoyable
It's pretty cool if you look down at the place you fight the rotten tree spirit and end the quest, you can see malenias boss arena, you're actually right above it, if u drop down you'll land inside it. That room is so pretty but it's probably the deadliest room in the game.
Your videos are excellent! Very few explained thoroughly and simple as you. Continue the great work. You got my subscription 🙂
Just quick note you DON’T need to beat Malenia before killing Gowry to receive the Flocks Canvas Talisman if you sided with Millicent, your welcome 😂
For those coming to this late, I beat the entire game, and was still able to do this quest. So go ahead and get that achievement :)
Excellent guide, dude! Straight to the point 👍🏽 drop this man a like!
I killed gowrey after aiding Millicent and then killing her, trying to get both, sadly that was patched in 1.3 but I still got gowreys talisman after killing him lol
For anyone struggling with Commander O’Neal, the best strategy is to get on your horse and then run at him briefly before getting one hit in and then running away. This takes a bit of patience but it works
A fucking enemy killed the guy while i was talking to him now i gotta restart the game just to do this damn questline bro
Nvm bro respawns😂
Omg thank the lord he died and I got to scared 😂
You can respawn any npc by using a special item, look up a tutorial
great videos as always keep it up
This tutorial was well done and I subscribed. I hope marshmallow gets an extra treat with her/his meow mix!. Hope to see more of your work when the DLC drops! I can't wait.
MILICENT NOOO WHY DOES EVERY NPC DIE? 😭😭😭😭😭
That damned Tree spirit is the worst part
this guide was so much more thorough than all the other videos I watched, thanks! I tried getting the rotten insignia after killing Malenia and couldn't find her so assumed that I had already ruined the quest line. this is so involved and no one else mentioned all the locations. easy sub - thanks again
QUESTION: 9:25 the summons arent showing up, i have killed the fire giant on this NG+, will i have to start a new one and refrain from burning the erdtree before getting here?
Yes
@@WilliamHyers hi
@@gritilazz_3478 maybe you have to kill the tree spirit
I think youre game is glitched
You can definitely still do this after beating Malenia and the final boss
yup. Just done it
Almost all. However, after helping millicent and getting the golden needle I went back to the rot flower and there was no prompt to use the needle to get miquellas needle or the ancient dragon smithing stone
Never mind it was just glitching
Went to another site of grace, came back and it prompted me
Millicent is NOT appearing at the Ancient Snow Valley Ruin... I hope this quest line is not bugged out.
Great Video Series @Shatter!!!
Easiest way to beat Malenia
1. remove all spells except swarm of flies
2. use mimic
3. spam swarm of flies
4. win
Do not do it first time it is essentially cheating.
yeah Im gona spam this with a mimic to help do this with me
if I had known this i woulda done it first time as cheesing bosses is fun, Anyway Ima go cheese her for all the suffering she has made me done
im lvl 200 and can't beat her still
@@yamiomo7392 lvl 140, win at 4th try. Lvl 10 mimic + blasphemous blade made it pretty easy
@@Soveey Ehh I got 2 people to spam swarm of flies on her with me, No respec needed, no blasphamous blade just flies, and a wonderous physic that increases stager chance and infinite mana. She died so fast. she couldn't even attack it was great, absolutly beautiful. Ima reccomend that meathod to all my friends, blood hound step and flies, thats all you need to put that brother incesty freak down.
Why do all those I love in this game die 🗿💔

Nice guide!
The cat at the end was unexpected and made my day xD
I cant summon Millicent :(
İ CANT BEAT THE DAMN WORM
