Elden Ring Gowry and Millicent quest guide: How to get Unalloyed Gold Needle

Millicent's questline in Elden Ring is a fascinating journey with plenty of emotional stakes, as you help her overcome her tragic fate. Here's a breakdown of the key steps to follow to get the Unalloyed Gold Needle and progress through her quest:

How to Start Millicent's Quest

Location: Speak with Sage Gowry in Gowry's Shack, located south of Sellia, Town of Sorcery in Caelid. Be careful not to anger the large dino-puppy nearby, as it can kill Gowry and halt the questline.

Objective: Gowry tells you that Millicent needs help, but you must first obtain the Unalloyed Gold Needle.

How to Get the Unalloyed Gold Needle

Location: The Unalloyed Gold Needle is dropped by Commander O'Neil, who can be found in the swamps of Caelid.

Strategy: O'Neil can be defeated using ranged or magic attacks. He may get stuck at the base of a branch, allowing you to attack him without retaliation. Be cautious of his summons and their arrows, as they can overwhelm you if not dealt with first.

Next Step: Once O'Neil is defeated, return to Sage Gowry with the Unalloyed Gold Needle.

Deliver the Unalloyed Gold Needle to Millicent

Location: Millicent can be found in the Church of Plague, just northeast of Gowry's Shack. After exhausting her dialogue, give her the needle.

Reward: Millicent will be quiet after using the needle. Rest at a nearby Site of Grace and speak to her again to receive the Prosthesis-Wearer Heirloom.

Next Steps in Millicent's Quest

Windmill Village: Millicent's next location is Windmill Village in the Altus Plateau. After defeating the Godskin Apostle boss in the village, Millicent will appear near the Windmill Heights Site of Grace. She will thank you and offer to help in battle.

Valkyrie's Prosthesis: The next objective is to find Valkyrie's Prosthesis in Shaded Castle in the Altus Plateau. The Prosthesis is guarded by Cleanrot Knights. After obtaining it, return to Millicent and hand it over to her.

Progressing to the Mountaintops of Giants

Location: Millicent will later appear at the Ancient Snow Valley Ruins Site of Grace in the Mountaintops of Giants. She will mention Malenia and the Haligtree medallion.

Objective: You'll need to acquire the two halves of the Haligtree Medallion to continue her quest and access the Haligtree area.

Millicent in Haligtree

After obtaining the Haligtree Medallion, head through the Grand Lift of Rold and travel through the Consecrated Snowfield to Ordina, Liturgical Town. Solve the puzzle to access Miquella's Haligtree.

Location: Millicent will be found in Haligtree, and after speaking with her, she will give you vital information before sending you on your way.

Conclusion of the Quest

Progress further through Haligtree until you face Loretta, Royal Knight of Haligtree.

After defeating her, you will continue along the path to the Prayer Room, where Millicent awaits. She will give you important information to continue your journey.

Millicent's quest in Elden Ring is indeed one of the more poignant and rewarding questlines, intertwining key story elements with powerful items and lore. As you journey through her quest, you'll earn various essential Elden Ring items and Elden Ring runes that significantly enhance your gameplay.
