Mage build - armor, weapons/staffs, spells, and more - ELDEN RING

9:09 AM / by admin / in ELDEN RING / with No comments /

A guide to armor, weapons/staffs, spells, and more to make your best mage yet. Starting Stats & Items (Astrologer Class) Stat Level Vigor 9 Mind 15 Endurance 9 Strength 8 Dexterity 12 Intelligence 16 Faith 7 Arcane 9 Spells: Glintstone Pebble, Glintstone Arc Weapons: Short Sword, Astrologer’s Staff, Scripture Wooden Shield Armor: Astrologer Hood, Robe, Gloves, and Trousers I recommend taking the Golden Seed keepsake to get an extra flask early on. Traits To Increase In early game you should focus your points into Vigor, Intelligence, Mind, and Endurance. 40 Vigor, 60 Intelligence, 55 Mind, and 50 Endurance will be good goals for Middle to End game. Your other stat goals should be 50 Endurance, 20 Strength, 20 Dexterity, 30 Faith, and 30 Arcane. But these other stats can be saved for later. Just shoot for an even distribution of Vigor, Intelligence, Mind, and Endurance early on. (These stat goals are the soft cap for each one, minus Intelligence) Flasks Carry more Flasks of Cerulean Tears then Flasks of Crimson Tears. The goal is to be able to kill enemies from a slight distance before you need to worry about HP loss. This can be difficult in the early parts of the game. You’ll also want to get your hands on the Flask of Wondrous Physick as early as you can. Flask of Wondrous Physick This can be found at the Third Church of Marika, in the eastern portion of Liurnia. This flask can be customized with various Tears to boost your magic attack power. These are some Tears to look out for. ⭐ indicates an item highly recommended. ⭐Intelligence-knot Crystal Tear - Boosts Intelligence ⭐Magic-Shrouding Cracked Tear - Boosts Magic attacks Spiked Cracked Tear - Enhances charged attacks ⭐Cerulean Hidden Tear - Eliminates all FP consumption Cerulean Crystal Tear - Restores 50% FP Armor For most of the early game, the Astrologer armor is good and will be sufficient. When you feel ready for a new set of armor, here are some good options. Whatever armor you use, make sure you don’t exceed the Medium Load for weight. Helms usually have more buffs for magic than other armor pieces.

Fix the Stutter / Frame Loss in ELDEN RING

9:02 AM / by admin / in ELDEN RING / with No comments /

Elden Ring the massive Open World RPG is here but many people are experiencing massive stutter and frame loss while trying to enjoy it. Today show you how to fix this common issue through various means. Feel free to try them one by one or apply them all as I walk you through the easiest way to get Elden Ring running buttery smooth and to fix the FPS problem plaguing the PC version. There is no reason to not sit back and enjoy the wonderful world of the Lands Between and here is how you do it:

The number one factor seems to be coming from shader processing and performance, so here is a quick fix and the one that worked for me, now granted this only applies to NVIDIA graphics cards, but there will be other fixes later in the video. If you have an NVIDIA card though, try this fix first.

Go to your Nvidia Control Panel and under MANAGE 3D Settings make sure you are on the Global Settings tab and scroll down to SHADER CACHE SIZE and change it to UNLIMITED. Click apply and now relaunch Elden Ring and see if that fixed it for you.

Another Nvidia fix is regarding Vsync. Once again go into the Nvidia Control Panel, MANAGE 3D Settings - Program Settings - Add - Elden Ring (eldenring.exe) scroll down to Vsync and set it to Fast and hit Apply.

Now launch up Elden Ring and see if the stutter issue is fixed!

If that doesn't work or perhaps you don't have an NVIDIA card, here is another fix many are having success with. Go to your windows bar and search for Graphics, click on Graphics Settings, Make sure it is on Desktop app here and click browse. Go through and find your game file and select it then click options here and set for high performance.

And lastly, you can press Windows key + X at the same time, click device manager then software devices, then right click Microsoft Device Association Root Enumerator and right click it and disable it.

ELDEN RING - Tips For Invasions

9:01 AM / by admin / in ELDEN RING / with No comments /

Invading is one of the most rewarding things you can do in Elden Ring. Here are some tips from someone with too many hours in DS3/Elden Ring invasions. Enjoy, and please rate! Introduction If anyone knows of an invader community pls Dm me lol The biggest one I’ve found is r/badredman DISCLAIMER: These tips are meant for new and inexperienced invaders. If you are looking for tips on more specific/advanced strategies such as twinking, a different guide will be better for you. Invading is possibly the most rewarding thing you can do in Elden Ring. Taking down 3v1s, messing around with the host, and being creative with your invasions are some of the most fun experiences you can have when you know what you're doing. That being said, it is really hard to be a successful invader, and most people get discouraged and stop trying before they have any fun with it. I am someone who has spent a lot of time invading and having fun in DS3 and Elden Ring, so I've figured out a few things. In this guide, I will be sharing some great tips on how to win more frequently, how to deal with losses, and how to have more fun with your invasions. I hope you learn something, and enjoy! The Invader's Toolkit To have the best chances of winning your invasion, you will need to be able to control the situation as much as possible. These items aren't required, but they can give you the slight edge you need. (Click on the item name to see the wiki link/how to find them) The Golden Rules 1. Don't get discouraged Invading is really hard, and when you're starting out, you'll die far more often than you'll win. Take losses in stride - if you've wasted the host's resources (flasks, consumables, etc) and time, you've done your job. Remember that you will improve and that it will be very rewarding when you start winning more frequently. 2. Play creatively In order to win an invasion, you'll have to work creatively. You will almost always be outnumbered, so you have to treat each fight like a puzzle and figure out how to trick the host into exposing himself. Going in with a brute force strategy will often get you killed. Some things I do are: Using environmental hazards (elevators, traps, flame pillars in dungeons, etc) to distract the host and to separate him from his friends. Pretending to be friendly. If you can get the host and his friends to trust you, you can get some free hits in. You can do this by using gestures, putting weapons away, removing armor, etc. Here's a screenshot of this from one of my invasions: 3. Play cheap Remember, you are at a disadvantage. To even the playing field, use every cheap trick you can come up with. Some of the best things to do are: Luring in enemies. If you can distract the host or his friends with an enemy, you can buy enough time to get in a hit or land a shot from a spell. Abuse weapon arts and spells. There is a wide variety of attacks that can be abused to gain an advantage. For example, I use the weapon art on the Winged Scythe to stop my opponents from healing. Then, I finish them off with a Honed Bolt spam while they're trying to heal. Use any combo that works best for you. Running away. If you are being swarmed, it's perfectly fine to just run away. Often, your opponents will run into an enemy or separate themselves. This can buy you valuable time. Stage 1: The Search At the beginning of an invasion, you'll be tasked with locating the host and his friends. This might seem like an impossible task in an open world game, but don't worry, you can find them easily with the help of the map! See the little icon below the compass? That's the direction you need to go to find the host! Look around to find the icon as soon as you invade; it will always be there unless you're very close to the host. If you're feeling stuck, or if you can't reach the host for whatever reason, you can use a Phantom Finger to reinvade and spawn in a different location. 3 of them are placed in your quick item slots when you invade. Stage 2: The Group Fight Once you've found your target, the group fight begins. this is the most difficult stage of the invasion. If you have managed to single out the host, try to take him down as fast as possible. Most of the time, however, you'll be fighting 2 or more people simultaneously. Here are some tips to manage this: 1. Play defensively. Unless you're really good, you'll probably die if you try to fight multiple people head on. Instead, run away, roll spam, and wait for them to separate a bit. If one strays too far from the group, that's your chance to go in for a few hits. 2. Again, play cheap. This has already been covered, but it's very important. Use the environment, lure in enemies, and be unpredictable. 3. Keep everyone accounted for. Once you have separated someone from the group, make sure you can see his friends in your peripheral view. If they charge a magic attack and you don't see it, you could lose very quickly. If someone is missing, listen for audio cues to hear footsteps and magic attacks. 4. Don't get greedy. If you manage to land a few hits, but your opponents are beginning to surround you, retreat. It is better to run and to let your opponent heal than to get hurt. Remember, you have far fewer healing resources than them, so you can't allow yourself to take unnecessary damage. In this screenshot, you can see that the host has strayed a bit too far from his summon. Because of this, I was able to bait out an attack, respond with my weapon art, and oneshot him. Try to create situations like this by playing patiently and defensively and waiting for them to get aggressive and impatient. Stage 3: The Chase If you manage to kill the Host's friends, congratulations, you've already done more than what is expected of you. At this point, get ready for the Host to take off running. You will often find that even the most aggressive hosts will lose all of their confidence once they're alone. Don't let them get away. If they do, they will likely resummon their friends. As soon as you kill the host's last summon, heal up and start running towards him. Don't stop to taunt him; this will only give him more time to escape. Stay as close as you can and go in for chip damage. If he's starting to get away, try this: Use spells. In my invasions, I find that Honed Bolt, Frenzied Burst, Comet and Loretta's Greatbow are great at stopping hosts. Use your consumables. Fire Pots, Kukris, etc are great for dealing chip damage. If you land enough of them, the host will often stop to heal, giving you time to close the gap. Equipment Recommendations NOTE: Work in progress. I will update as I test new things. Also, see consumables, etc. in "Invader's Toolkit" While you can more or less use anything in an invasion, sometimes it's hard to figure out what equipment is easiest to use to win more often. To help with that, here are some of my recommendations: Builds: BLEED (VERY GOOD), Frost, Madness Weapons: Great Epee, Starscourge Greatsword, Winged Scythe, Any katana that inflicts bleed. Incantations: Honed Bolt, Frenzied Burst, Golden Vow, Rotten Breath, Flame Grant Me Strength Sorceries: Comet Azur, Glintstone Pebble, Loretta's Greatbow, Rock Throw for low level int builds, I highly recommend the Meteorite Staff Talismans: Great Jar's Arsenal, Green Turtle Talisman, Marika's Scarseal, Radagon's Scarseal, Ritual Sword Talisman

Theory

Thank you for reading and I hope this guide has helped you. I just wanted to go ahead and post this at the bottom for anyone interested in discussing it.

So I have had a theory since the game came out. Obviously some areas are easier and some harder but with how much you can access at any time, it's very easy to go into very difficult places early and easy places when you're high level. Because of this, I believe that there is an "intended" order to do everything in. If true, that would mean that there is an order of operations to play the game in where you would play it almost like a semi-linear story. This idea already had evidence in the fact that certain NPCs had their questlines break or forcefully progress when you'd made it to a certain area of the game or done a certain task but in an open-world game with extremely little direction given, it's basically impossible to know for sure what order you're supposed to do everything in....or is it? In making this guide, I discovered that the order of the Cookbooks more or less follow the order of areas to go to at what time. In fact, the order tells an extremely efficient route for NPCs and story as well to avoid breaking anything. So it is my belief that if you follow the game's "intended" route, something will change somewhere and some of the mysteries of the game may be solved. This is still just speculation but I think the Cookbooks are the final piece of the puzzle to put the story together into a solid piece.

Wanna play online, but not have the EAC malware active? then here's the guide for it.

Online play, No EAC

in the common\ELDEN RING\Game\EasyAntiCheat folder, there exists a file known as "settings.json". open it with notepad, and proceed to copy/paste the following over what currently resides there:

{
"title" : "ELDEN RING™",
"executable" : "eldenring.exe",
"productid" : "Dank",
"sandboxid" : "420",
"deploymentid" : "69",
"requested_splash" : "./EasyAntiCheat/SplashScreen.png",
"wait_for_game_process_exit" : "false",
"logo_position" : "bottom-left"
}

save the file. from now on, when you launch the game EAC will open, immediately launch Elden ring with no startup delay, and then EAC will crash/shut itself down. the game still thinks EAC is active, because EAC launched Elden ring and that's all it actually cares about. congrats. you now have online play without the insane performance hit of EAC, the random crashes of EAC, and the literal malware/spyware that is EAC.

Psychological approach for playing ELDEN RING

8:41 AM / by admin / in ELDEN RING / with No comments /

Psychological approach for disbelievers By SombreroRondO Hey you! Yes you! You don't believe in yourself? You don't want to see beautiful things because of fear? You think FromSoft is a group of sadists? Fear not! I'm an idiot and I completed this game! What is sufficient? Welcome in Elden Ring brave soldier. Tarnished. Let me guide you to happy ending. First rule is that death cost you nothing. Nothing! The only thing you lose is money. If you own money. So be a shopaholic, buy everything you can, everything you want, lose nothing. Be like billionaire's wife. Second rule is to immerse yourself. Sometimes it's painful, this game demands concentration, it's not a woodchopper simulator. If you'll run straight in this game not looking you'll die. But in this game slow progression is very rewarding. Every place that's not an empty terrain square has some emotional value in the Lands Between. Just look, it's not a fun experience to play this game with guide all the time. Last rule, that will make you an Elden Lord, is curiosity. That's why you shouldn't depend on walkthroughs, checking map online before finding it, walking in straight line from castle to castle. This game has much more to show you than winning fights. Believe me, that reaching big boss in 5 hours rushing and struggling with this boss for another 2+ hours is worser than leearning whole region in 20+ hours, beating 10+ bosses, smiling and admiring at least a few times and afterwards beating big boss in less than 10 attempts. I think this one is sexy actually. What to do, if you think you can't? This is my late game build. These swords are given every warrior for free (default weapons). I've beaten with them (not using magic, not using guides, not using weapon abilities, not using ranged weapons, not using any weapon buffs) Radahn, Godrick, Margit, Godskin Apostle, Mohg, Morgott, Rennalla... I didn't beat Malenia, but she's optional. What's important is that I use 2 weapons. They are light (3 kg) which means they attack fast (high dps) and when you wield two same weapons, they attack simultaneously. Pure damage. But it's just an example, weapons can have bleeding effect, which after a few (4-8?) consecutive strikes takes around 500% of base weapon damage, not to mention 10 other possible effects. I didn't know it at first, it wasn't so hard that I wanted to have better weapons. But enough of this "Big size" philosophy. Killing fast is good in grind games my friend. In this game your biggest enemy is instant death, being vulnerable, being easy target. So if it's not a game about killing overflowing hordes of zombies with machinegun, then perhaps weapons aren't even important? That's right. Defense, dodging, invisibility (possible with some necklace), breaking stances. You need to minimize danger and this game gives you thousands of possibilities. Everything can be useful, every chest can give you a "gamechanger". But I won every fight with rolling, It's beautiful when you dodge an attack by a few pixels and endorphines make each such dodge feel better. Generally health isn't as helpful as good armor. Best healing flasks heal 800+ hp, so if you have 1600 hp (perhaps 55 vit?, lots of) and get hit 1200 damage you'll need 2 flasks to be safe. Healing takes time btw. Instead try to get every resistance as high as possible, but remember to have "average" armor weight (70% or less of your weight cap) so you'll dodge fast enough for every enemy I know. Finally, if you can use Torrent in boss fights, use it. If you use two weapons, wear your stronger in upper hand slot (right) and heal Torrent with your flasks. I've beaten Tree Sentinel jumping on Torrent around him (almost no healing), most dragon fights are easy horseback, because you can flank any dragon easily and just cut from one side to another. Most shielded minibosses around are very easy prey for horseback fighting. Finally, in many boss fights spirits are deciding. Not only ours :D. General rule is that, if you have a very powerful build go for mimic spirit. It can be found in Nokron, after you beat Radahn (most difficult fight for lower levels). It'll simply double your damage and make fights even faster. But earlier and even after you find Mimic, but aren't OP, use spirits as tanks. The more hp and defense they have - the better. I recommend five ?halflings? spirit for 69 energy, 5 shieldbearers from Nokron for 74 energy and finally one brave Jellyfish from Castle Mourne (almost sure) - immune to ground AoE attacks and poisons opponent. One does not simply walk into Erd Tree? This game is fun. And I don't think my playthrough was very intelligent. Those simple moments of pure stupidity were most memorable and funny. Small things were deciding for me, that I didn't really care about Radahn, Malekith, Godskin, Crucible Knight and many other awful, aggresive monsters. Yes, I died much more times outside boss battles. But when you get out of forest full of mourning clothed human parody with "hole of disgust" face and reach a village of happily dancing young girls, which don't attack you and just laughs with joy, when you reach capital and first enemy you see is a snowman parody attacking you with bubbles, when you enter a coffin and wake up in totally different place, when you attack wall and it disappears, when you avoid dozens of opponents on Torrent with "0 fu*ks given" - you feel happy. I won't tell you how to play this game. I've heard everyone run around with same sword, I didn't play online even once so it's just a rumor. I won't tell you, that you need to finish this game. I won't tell you that this game is hard or easy. It's not important. But know one thing. Your first playthrough can be magical, beautiful, entertaining and best. Simply.

Putrid Tree Spirit bossfight (melee) - ELDEN RING

8:36 AM / by admin / in ELDEN RING / with No comments /

A difficult and infuriating boss, I hope this guide makes your life a little easier.

Intro

The Putrid Tree Spirit boss took me so many tries that I decided to write a guide. He will seem unpredictable and borderline unfair, but his moves are pretty easy to read. Nonetheless, it's a terrible boss due to his scarlet rot attacks. There is a weaker Tree Spirit at the bottom of Stormveil Castle with a similar move set, there may be more.

I'm assuming a melee build for your character here.

Good luck and try rolling.

Location

War-dead catacombs, in the north east corner of the area where you defeat Starscourge Radahn, in Caelid.

Run all the way through the catacombs, dodge all the battling spirits, jump out at the last window before the dead end to find the switch that opens the boss door.

Main strategy

Stay near his chest.

Between the front paws you will see the Tree Spirit's fat, bright red belly. That's where you will want to be standing next to.

This will 100% make your life easier. His attacks will miss you more often. I prefer staying a little bit to his left side (right from your perspective) as this makes it easier to read his next move. The spirit will move around frantically, but just keep running towards him and roll while keeping your shield up all the time.

Read the attack and hit him 2-3 times afterwards.

It will take a lot of tries to learn his attack pattern. It's safest if you hit him a few times after his attack animation instead of going all in. If you get too greedy, you'll get stomped.

Staggering is possible.

If you land enough hits in a row, you will stagger the tree spirit. Going for a critical hit in his eye did not deal a lot of damage, so I prefer a good combo attack.

Attacks

Take your time to learn his attacks and get a few hits in after his attack animation ends.

Bite - you NEED to dodge this as it will one-hit you, no matter what. You will see him grasping for air and then lift his head up and open his mouth. Once he initiates this animation, just start running towards him. When he starts the bite towards you, you should roll left/right. If you are close enough already, he will miss, allowing some free hits. Once his head hits the ground, you may be pushed around a bit but this will not hurt you, so try to get some hits in while he is swirling around.

Swipe - swipe from his left paw is easy to predict, he usually does it when you are near the left paw. I find the right paw attack harder to read. Roll towards the center, opening him up for a few hits.

Stomp - he will raise his paw, as a cue that he will stomp twice, just roll away.

Body slam - he will raise his body up high before slamming into the ground, you can roll into him.

Tail swipe - he will turn away from you and do a 360 degree swipe. I prefer to block with a shield (although you get staggered). Rolling is dangerous as you might get hit at the end of the roll.

Rot breath - you can see him charge the breath attack, which should be easy to dodge. Run into him for a lot of free hits.

Rot explosion - you will hear an audio cue and then he will charge his whole body for about 2 seconds and explode with an area damage attack. You need to run away as soon as he starts charging to dodge the flames, which can be hard if you are in a corner. He will first initiate this attack at around 50-60% health.

Second phase

After his first rot explosion, the Spirits body will glow with rot and his attacks will deal some Scarlet Rot damage. It did not bother me all too much, so you might want to get your immunity up if you're struggling with this.

He uses the exact same moves, but his body will glow, which can be a bit confusing. In the end, I find the attacks during this phase easier to read.

Gear

Things that seemed helpful to me:

Frost seems to work well, dealing a substantial amount of damage when it triggers.

I used a scimitar, because the attacks are fast enough to build up frost. I did not experiment too much with damage types.

A shield with 100 physical resistance, which allows you to block if you fail to roll. I also prefer to always block the tail swipe. Although it staggers you, there is enough time for stamina to regenerate.

Vow of the Indomitable as a shield skill (which will make you invincible for about 1 second) can be used to avoid the Scarlet Rot explosion. I can reliably get the timing right (I count 1...2... seconds in my head as he's charging, then trigger it), which feels more reliable than running away from the flames.

Opaline bubbletear (wondrous physick) - This will absorb one of his attacks, basically allowing you to make 1 mistake during the fight.

Charms that provide stamina and stamina regeneration.

Winged Sword Insigna charm, bonus damage on successive attacks.

You can summon ash spirits, but it makes the attacks of the tree spirits harder to read and they die easily to his attacks so I didn't use them.

Reward

Redmane Knight Ogha ash (106 FP)

1 Golden Seed

64000 runes

How to have massive Equip Load at any level in ELDEN RING

7:42 AM / by admin / in ELDEN RING / with No comments /

Want to be able to wear almost anything with Light/Med Load for 3 minutes? Then follow this guide. Not clickbait. I'm serious. What I will show you in this guide completely breaks the game and especially PvP.

What is it?

To have an absurd amount of equip load, first you must obtain the "Winged Crystal Tear".

It is located in the northern part of the Capital Outskirts, its location is shown on the map below.

(You must have access to the Altus Plateau. You can gain access by either defeating the boss of the Ruin-Strewn Precipice, or obtaining the two halves of the Dectus Medallion.)

How to use it?

To use the Winged Crystal Tear, simply insert it in your Flask of Wondrous Physick at a grace spot.

Upon drinking it, the Winged Crystal Tear will provide a x4.5 boost to your equip load for 3min . Enjoy breaking the game and wearing a full Bull-Goat set with light/med load even as a caster with low Endurance.

As an example of how much equip load you'd have at starting Endurance:

10 END = 48.2 * 4.5 = 216.9 Equip Load .

Here are some comparison screenshots from my 47 END character (not required at all as shown above, it just happens to be the only character I have to show a difference with) :

Lord of Frenzied Flame Lord of Frenzied Flame Achieved the "Lord of Frenzied Flame" ending Meeting the requirements for this ending will lock you out of all other endings unless you use Miquella's Needle in Farum Azula. Defeat Mohg, the Omen. *Instructions on how to find Mohg from the Underground Roadside site of grace below. After defeating Mohg, the Omen, walk up behind the chest to reveal a secret passage. You will have to parkour down. I strongly recommend using backstep (dodging with no directional input) and rolling with light load to traverse this area. If you try to mix and match different types of jumps, this can lead to a lot of falling and frustration. Once you reach a corpse with the Inescapable Frenzy loot, you can go forward and just keep walking down to your left. Once you reach the lowest point by walking, drop down and the floor should crack. The floor will not crack if you die from fall damage. Take off all equipment to open the door. You are now locked into the Lord of Frenzied Flame Ending unless you use Miquella's Needle in Farum Azula. After defeating the final boss, interact with the Fractured Statue of Marika and you will only have the option "Become the Lord of Frenzied Flame". How to get to Mohg, the Omen Enter the sewers of Leyndell. The entrance to the sewers is shown in the Blessing of Despair section. From the Underground Roadside site of grace, go left and drop down at the hole in the sewer grates. Progress North-west until you see a pipe entrance to your right; enter the pipe. Keep on moving forward and turning right. Make sure to jump over all holes in the ground. Climb up the ladder after killing the 3 Omens. I'd recommend unlocking the checkpoint to your right. Enter the door straight ahead of where you climbed up the ladder and immediately drop down to the lower staircase on the left. Progress down the stairs and enter the first door on your right. Progress until you reach a ladder with Miranda Flowers below. Instead of climbing down the ladder, look behind you and enter the pathway to the left of the staircase. Turn right at the first fork, then go straight ahead. Once you reach a dead end, turn right and go straight ahead until you reach a room with 2 ladders. Climb up the ladder and unlock the checkpoint. From where you climbed up the ladder, walk forward a bit until you see a pipe to your left. Walk onto the pipe and continue until you reach the wall. Drop down to the pipe below and head to the doorway to the North-west. Kick the ladder to your left and then jump down into the hole in the pipe. Once in the pipe, go in the direction North-east first and continue until you reach a fork. At the fork, turn left. Continue down the path and drop down the first hole you find. After dropping down, continue down the North-east path. Once you reach a ladder, climb down and then take the elevator to your right. Light the site of grace and the Mohg, the Omen bossfight will be straight ahead. Miquella's Needle Millicent in Caelid Go to Gowry's Shack at 2 and exhaust his dialogue until he requests you find the Unalloyed Gold Needle. Go to the Scarlet Bloom at 3 and fight Commander O'Neil who will drop the Unalloyed Gold Needle. Return to Gowry at 2 and give him the Unalloyed Gold Needle.

Exhaust her dialogue. Defeat the Godskin Apostle at 3 and then reload the area with the bonfire that spawns after the boss fight. Millicent will be found nearby; exhaust her dialogue. Millicent in the Mountaintop of the Giants Millicent can be found at the Ancient Snow Valley Ruins site of grace. Exhaust her Dialogue. Millicent in Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree Millicent will be found next to the Prayer Room site of grace at 1. Exhaust her Dialogue Start at the Drainage Channel site of grace at 2. Backtrack and you will see a rot lake that you can access by crossing a tree branch. Head to the center of the rot lake and defeat the Ulcerated Tree Spirit.
