#DEEPEST SWORD WALKTHROUGH SERIES#

Make your way down the hole and through Nokron and the Ancestral Woods, to the Aqueduct-Facing Cliffs site of grace (follow the ghostly jellyfish). You’ll see a large impact crater marked by a swirl of floating rocks that stretches high into the air.

Fight through the underground area until you’ve defeated Mohg, the Omen (take your time - it’s a real labyrinth down there), then look for a series of hidden walls near the Frenzied Flame Proscription site of grace.

If you’ve explored the Capital Leyndell, you may have already come across a hidden zone called the Subterraneon Shunning-Grounds, accessed by hopping down a well in the shadow of the large stone dragon. Step 4A: Subterranean Shunning-Grounds Image: FromSoftware/Bandai Namco via Polygon You have two options for reaching this biome, and neither is particularly easy. Your next task is to reach a hidden optional area called Deeproot Depths. You won’t see Fia again for quite a while. The Lord of the many, and the meek.”Ĭool cool cool. What right does anyone have to object? Our Lord will rise. We, who humbly live in Death.Live in waiting, to one day welcome our Lord. Disturb not the Death of Godwyn, the exalted. Speak to her, and she’ll deliver some truly chilling dialogue: Inside, you’ll find Fia standing over D’s corpse. Leave the Hold and teleport back, and look for a newly opened door just past Hewg, the blacksmith. However, speaking to the other characters in the Roundtable Hold will give you the option to hand it over to D, the incantation merchant sitting at the table in the Hold’s main room. Naturally, this being Elden Ring, she gives you no clues as to who that is. Speak to her during the embrace and she’ll make a simple request: Give someone a dagger.Ĭhapter 2: Murder most foul Step 3: Give the dagger to Dįia asks you to give the Weathered Dagger to its owner. In any case, some combination of the above will trigger a new option when hugging Fia. Some sources say you need only beat Godrick, lord of Stormveil Castle others claim you must reach the Altus Plateau first, or possibly have two Great Runes in your possession. The internet’s opinions differ on how exactly to trigger the next step of Fia’s quest. Obviously, there’s more to Fia than it seems. The effect is temporary - it’s restored when you use the Baldachin’s Blessing item that the hugs provide - but it’s still sinister. Every time you hug Fia, she steals some of your maximum health. Only, there’s one factor you might not notice: a tiny red square with a downward-pointing arrow underneath your stamina bar. Image: FromSoftware/Bandai Namco via Polygon Granted, she’s a bit odd right off the bat: From the first moment you step foot in the Hold, she’s eager to provide you with a warm embrace, a little bit of comfort in this dangerous world. Table of contents Chapter 1: A harmless hugĬhapter 1: A harmless hug Step 1: Meet Fiaįia seems at first like just another NPC in Elden Ring’s hub area, the Roundtable Hold. In this Elden Ring Fia guide, we’ll focus on advancing Fia’s storyline and uncovering her deepest secrets - not to mention one of the game’s well-hidden alternate endings.

The NPC who seemingly wants nothing more than to provide comfort via warm, gentle, lovingly animated hugs is actually sucking out your life force - and that’s just the beginning. Plenty of Elden Ring’s characters hide dark secrets, but there may be none more sinister than Fia, the Deathbed Companion.
