Key Reward

Rotten Winged Sword or Millicent's Prosthesis

Overview

Millicent is a young woman afflicted by the Scarlet Rot who seeks answers about her origin. Her questline takes you across the entire Lands Between, from the rotting swamps of Caelid to the sacred grounds of Miquella's Haligtree. The quest culminates in a critical choice that determines which of two excellent talismans you receive.

Quest Steps

Step 1: Caelid (Church of the Plague)

Obtain the Unalloyed Gold Needle from Commander O'Neil at Swamp of Aeonia.

Step 2: Give needle to Gowry (near Sellia)

He repairs the needle. Give the repaired needle to Millicent at the Church of the Plague.

Step 3: Altus Plateau (Erdtree-Gazing Hill)

Millicent appears at the grace. Exhaust her dialogue.

Step 4: Shaded Castle (Mt. Gelmir)

Find the Valkyrie's Prosthesis on a corpse. Give it to Millicent at Erdtree-Gazing Hill.

Step 5: Windmill Village (Altus Plateau)

Help Millicent defeat the Godskin Apostle boss. She is summonable for the fight.

Step 6: Mountaintops (Ancient Snow Valley Ruins)

Speak with her at the grace site.

Step 7: Miquella's Haligtree (Prayer Room)

FINAL CHOICE: Put down gold summon sign to help her (get Rotten Winged Sword Insignia) or red sign to invade her (get Millicent's Prosthesis).

Key Rewards

Missable Points

If you kill the Ulcerated Tree Spirit at Haligtree before finishing the quest, Millicent dies. Gowry can be killed early — do not attack him. The choice at the end is irreversible, so pick based on your build.

Pro Tip

Help Millicent (gold sign) for Rotten Winged Sword Insignia — it is better for fast weapons like katanas, curved swords, and claws. Invade her (red sign) for Millicent's Prosthesis (+5 DEX) if you are doing a DEX build. You can only get one per playthrough.
