Millicent is an NPC in Elden Ring with a quest line that players can complete in order to gain

some valuable items. Millicent is a young woman stricken with an incurable case of Scarlet Rot.
Gowry will send players to look for her in an attempt to cure her of Scarlet Rot. Progress through
her questline in order to unlock her as an NPC Summon Cooperator during specific boss battles.

Millicent can also be encountered as an NPC Invader. She will invade the player in the Swamp of
Aeonia at all times of the day. She has light armor and appears to use a Shamshir, but with the
Waterfowl Dance skill, the same as Malenia.

I would rather trust you than simply continue to spoil from within.

MILLICENT LOCATION IN ELDEN RING

● Millicent can initially be found at Church of the Plague, around the northeast direction
from Gowry's Shack. You need to light the first two braziers in Sellia, Town of Sorcery,

 MILLICENT QUESTLINE: HOW TO COMPLETE
MILLICENT'S QUEST
Millicent has a questline related to Gowry, but also appears as an NPC Invader at the Aeonia
Swamp. The quest can be completed after reaching the Haligtree Roots site of grace, and can
still be completed after defeating Malenia. The quest can be done quickly if the player defeats
the bosses or otherwise obtains the quest items before exhausting dialogue.

Questline Objectives:

● Speak with Gowry in his shack and he will ask for a favor. He wants help to heal a young
girl, Millicent, found beyond Sellia, who has been infected with Scarlet Rot. To do this, he
will ask you to seek an Unalloyed Gold Needle, which is dropped by Commander O'Neil,
located in the Swamp of Aeonia. In return, he will share the secrets of the town of Sellia.
○ Speaking to Gowry and accepting his quest will unlock Polyanna, Adopted
Daughter's summon sign, north of O'Neil's battle arena.
● Give the Unalloyed Gold Needle to Gowry. He'll need some time to repair the needle and
will give you Sellia's Secret.
○ Warp to a nearby site of grace or quit the game to reload, and he'll give you the
repaired needle.
● Bring the needle to Millicent at the Church of the Plague. You may need to complete the
puzzle in Sellia, Town of Sorcery to open the path uphill. Or, coming from Dragonbarrow,
jump down a Spirit Spring to the north of the Church.
● After Millicent uses the needle, rest at the nearby site of grace, then exhaust her
dialogue. She will gift you the Prosthesis-Wearer Heirloom. Upon reloading the area, she
will have moved to Gowry's shack.
● Return to Gowry's shack to find him gone, but Millicent there. Exhaust her dialogue.
Reload the area, and Millicent will move, and Gowry will return. You can now purchase
spells from him.
○ Millicent can be summoned to fight Magma Wyrm Makar in the Ruin-Strewn
Precipice after this point. This summon sign will disappear if she is given the
Valkyrie's Prosthesis.
● Millicent will now be located just north-northeast of the Erdtree-Gazing Hill site of grace
in Altus Plateau, standing near the edge of the cliff. [Map Link]
○ The player will need to go north to The Shaded Castle and retrieve the Valkyrie's
Prosthesis, which is found in a chest in a room guarded by a single Cleanrot
Knight, on the northwestern edge of the castle. Return to her, and give her the
Valkyrie's Prosthesis item to advance her quest.
○ If you want to summon her for the Godskin Apostle fight in Dominula, Windmill
Village, you will have to go back to Gowry's Shack and talk to Gowry about giving
Milicent the prosthesis. Check your map after the dialogue with Gowry to see that
Milicent disappeared from the Erdtree-Gazing Hill site of grace.
● Go to Dominula, Windmill Village, and defeat the Godskin Apostle. After giving Millicent
the Prosthesis, her summon sign will appear at the base of the hill northwest of the Stake
of Marika.
● After defeating the Apostle, rest at the Windmill Heights site of grace, and she will
appear next to it. Exhaust her dialogue to continue the quest. [Map Link]
● Millicent can be summoned to fight the Black Blade Kindred boss in Forbidden Lands,
even before defeating the Godskin Apostle.
● Millicent will move to the Ancient Snow Valley Ruins site of grace in Mountaintops of
the Giants. Exhaust her dialogue to continue. [Map link]
○ If Millicent does not appear at the site of grace, try returning to the Windmill
Heights again and see if she's there, and if so, exhaust her dialogue there.
● Millicent will move to the Prayer Room site of grace in Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree.
She will not move from this spot until the player has defeated the nearby Lesser
Ulcerated Tree Spirit mini-boss. To reach the mini-boss, go to the Drainage Channel site
of grace, go west through the doorway, climb up the ladder at the end of the corridor, and
go out the doorway on your right at the top. The mini-boss is at the landmass across the
gap to the left. To reach it, go up the slope on the right and walk across the tree branch,
heading southwest across the gap. [Map link]
● Once the player has defeated the mini-boss, there will be two summon signs near where
the mini-boss used to be. Specifically, on the northwest hill around the lake. The player
can either:
○ Be summoned into her world and help fight four NPC Invaders called Millicent's
Sisters, granting you the Rotten Winged Sword Insignia upon completion.
■ Mary, Eldest Sister (wields a Halo Scythe).
■ Maureen, Second Sister (wields a Treespear).
■ Amy, Third Sister (wields two Flowing Curved Swords).
■ Polyanna, Youngest Sister (wields a Blade of Calling).
○ Be summoned as an invader in order to challenge her, granting you Millicent's
Prosthesis upon completion, but not the Unalloyed Gold Needle.
● If the player chose to help Millicent, they can find her near where her summoning sign
was, sitting by the rotten pool. Exhaust all of her dialogue, then reload the area. The
Unalloyed Gold Needle is on the ground.

○ The Unalloyed Gold Needle can be used at the flower in Malenia's arena in order
to receive Miquella’s Needle, as well as a Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing
Stone. (Requires location reset after the fight)
● If you return to Gowry, he will talk about Malenia and Millicent's connection. You will no
longer be able to purchase from the Sage.
○ If you kill Gowry at this point, you will receive the Flock's Canvas Talisman and
Gowry's Bell Bearing. If he is already dead, both items will still be obtainable from
his corpse, found in Gowry's Shack.

MILLICENT'S DIALOGUE

§Introduction

Church of the Plague, Caelid

～
( 初対面 )

Ah...Ahh
Nggh... Who's there?
Well, it matters not.

If you are wise,

you will leave,
immediately.
 My flesh writhes with scarlet rot.
It is a curse.
Not to be meddled with by man.

§Upon giving her the Unalloyed Gold Needle

～
( 「無垢金の針」を渡す )

You ask that I stab myself with the needle...

To quell the scarlet rot?
But...how?
... Never mind.

I've decided.

I would rather trust you,

than simply continue to spoil from within.

Would you mind...

averting your eyes for a moment?

Well.
That was easier than expected.

But...
why do I feel so...

[ Upon reloading area ]

I...hoped to see you again.

My apologies for when last we met.
I fainted before I could even thank you.

Everything is as you said.

Since inserting the needle,
the scarlet rot has ceased to writhe.

Even the nightmares have abated...

And now,
though I can scarcely believe it myself,
I can move as I please.

It is all thanks to you.

Not that I could every truly repay you,
but I would like you to have this,
by way of thanks.

A token, though it is.

[Prosthesis-Wearer Heirloom]

I'm considering leaving.

On a journey.

With the needle buried in my flesh,

I've started to recall,
but dimly...

My destiny...

My name is Millicent.
I pray fate permits us meet again.

Attacking her after giving her the Unalloyed Gold Needle

● (Warning) Ugh. Is there something wrong? Please, cease this at once.

● (Combat) Why are you doing this? Now you've forced my hand.
● (On player kill) I will not forget what you did for me. But this day marks our farewell.

§ At Gowry's Shack
～

( ゴーリーのボロ家で ）

Oh, hello again.

Something about this place felt familiar to me.

 So I decided to pay a visit,
hoping to find someone here.
But I've only found emptiness.

Perhaps before my departure,

I needed someone to say farewell to.

I must focus on my journey,

for which I have you to thank.

I must stay strong.

I must focus on my journey,
for which I have you to thank.

§ North of the Lux Ruins on the Altus Plateau

～

Erdtree-Gazing Hill Grace, N

～
( ルクスの廃墟から北に )

Ah. We meet again.

In truth, it's been smooth sailing,

for me.

The scarlet rot has stilled,

since last we met.

As such, I've been able to continue my journey.

I realise that if I still had my sword arm,

I could have aided you in battle.
Now, I'm tracing the path Malenia took,
after unleashing the power of the scarlet rot,
during her battle with General Radahn,
in the Caelid Wilds.

I should like to meet her,

this vanished woman.

I think she's in the north.

In the lands that lie beyond the Erdtree.

§After giving her the Valkyrie Prosthesis

～
(「 戦乙女の義手 」を渡す )

Are you giving me this arm?

I thank you.
I am in your debt, yet again.

I think, if the arm serves well enough,

it might be possible for me to wield a sword again.

If the arm serves well enough,

it might be possible for me to wield a sword again.

Perhaps, then.
I can aid you in battle.

§ At Dominula Windmill Village

～
After summoning her to aid you in battle with
the Godskin Apostle
～

Windmill Heights, Grace

～
( 風車村ドミヌラ )

Ah, we meet yet again.

The arm you gave me truly is a thing of wonder.

It feels just like my own,
even handling a sword.

Perhaps it is foolish to say this to you of all people,

but I am sure of my skill with the sword.

Thus, I would have you call upon me in battle,

should you ever have the need.
It is the only way that I can express my thanks.

§In Mountaintops of the Giants

～

Ancient Snow Valley Ruins, Grace

～
( 古遺跡の雪谷 )

To think we'd meet in such a place...

What could your purpose possibly...

No, I know well enough who you are,

and what I know is good enough for me.

Call upon me again in battle,

should you have the need.

I'm searching for a fort to the north of the ruins.

I heard the master of the fort was given a medallion
 that allowed him to visit the Haligtree.

Indeed, I believe that is where Malenia will be found.

The Haligtree is hidden somewhere in these Northern lands.

§Near the Prayer Room Grace at

Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree

～
( 祈祷室 )

Again we meet.
I can only surmise our purposes are aligned.

In which case, allow me to explain myself.

I am of Malenia's blood.
But in what capacity I know not.

I could be sister,
daughter,
or an offshoot...

Whatever the case though,

I am certain of a kinship between us.

There is something I must return to Malenia.

The will that was once her own.
The dignity,
the sense of self,
that allowed her to resist the call of the scarlet rot.
The pride she abandoned,
to meet Radahn's measure.

§After choosing to help Millicent at the end of her questline,

laying by the pool near where her summoning sign was.
～
( お姉妹の 4 人と戦い後 )

Thank you for lending your hand.

Without your help,
I could not have defeated that quartet.

I feel as if I've been in your debt from beginning to end.

Thank you.
With your help,
I was able to live as my own person,
if only in passing.

But this is where things end.

I pause to even tell you, but...
I took out the needle myself.

Tell whoever put you up to this.

That if I am to flower into something other than myself,
I would rather rot into nothingness as I am.

Please, let me pass alone.

The scarlet rot writhes now,
worse than ever.

Soon, I won't be more than a mound of flesh.

Curse-laden.
Untouchable.
I wouldn't want such a thing to bring you harm.

Killing Millicent at the end of her questline in Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree before reloading the
area

● I did not expect it to end like this. But I will not forget what you have done.
After choosing to challenge Millicent

● Ahh, how could you... Is this your true heart? Was I... was it all...for this?

MILLICENT NOTES & TRIVIA

FAQ:HOW DO YOU CURE THE GIRL WITH THE SCARLET ROT
ELDEN RING?
In order to cure Millicent from the Scarlet Rot players will need to speak to first speak to Gowry
who will be at Gowry's Shack [Map Link], obtain the Unalloyed Gold Needle for him by defeating
Commander O'Neil, located in the Swamp of Aeonia and he will repair it. Bring the repaired
Unalloyed Gold Needle to Milliecet and she will use it to cure her Scarlet Rot.

Step by Step Walkthrough

● Speak with Gowry in his shack and he will ask you to seek an Unalloyed Gold Needle,
which is dropped by Commander O'Neil, located in the Swamp of Aeonia. In return, he
will share the secrets of the town of Sellia.
● Defeat Commander O'Neil, located in the Swamp of Aeonia and obtain the needle then
return it to Gowry. Give the Unalloyed Gold Needle to Gowry. He'll need some time to
repair the needle and you will need to return to him. To speed up the process, look for to
a nearby site of grace or quit the game to reload, and he'll give you the repaired needle.
The closest site of grace is nearby just northeast of Gowry's Shack where the Church of
the Plague. Return to Gowry to retrieve the needle then take it to Millicent.
● Bring the needle to Millicent at the Church of the Plague. You may need to complete the
puzzle in Sellia, Town of Sorcery to open the path uphill. Or, coming from Dragonbarrow,
jump down a Spirit Spring to the north of the Church.
● After Millicent uses the needle, rest at the nearby site of grace in the same Locations,
then return to Millicent and she will be well, which will tell you "Since inserting the needle
ths scarlet rot has ceased to writhe." From this point onwards Millicent will be cured from
scarlet rot and will be free to change Locations. You can follow her full questline here.

MILLICENT OTHER NOTES

● In combat, Millicent wields a unique version of the Shamshir that has the Waterfowl
Dance skill, which is normally only found on the Hand of Malenia. Before she receives
 the prosthesis, she uses it in her left hand, never two-handing it or doing anything else
that would involve her right arm, and she won't use its skill either.
● When fighting her as an invader in the swamp, it is recommended to use Flame, Cleanse
Me or Preserving Boluses to cleanse the Scarlet Rot.
● The name "Millicent" comes from the old Germanic name Amalasuintha, composed of
the words "Amal" which means "work" or "labor" and "Swinth", which means "strong".
Alternatively, the French variation, Mélisande, means "brave strength". This fits directly
back into Millicent's character, who despite being heavily afflicted with the Scarlet Rot
and lacking an arm, is able to travel from Caelid all the way to the Haligtree almost on her
own, requiring only some assistance from the player.
● The items dropped by Invader Millicent in the Swamp of Aeonia may be a reference to
other aspects of her lore: The 5 sacramental buds represent Millicent and her 4 sisters,
while the rune items she drops are the same as the percentage damage increase of the
base Winged Sword Insignia; 3, 5, and 10.
