Questline progression [ ]

Melina's questline runs parallel to the main story and is required to complete the game. It has two possible outcomes.

Stranded Graveyard After fighting the Grafted Scion at the Chapel of Anticipation , Melina and Torrent appear during a cutscene. Melina grants the Flask of Crimson Tears and Flask of Cerulean Tears before departing. Sites of Grace ( Limgrave ) After leaving the Stranded Graveyard, activate and rest at either the Agheel Lake North or Gatefront Ruins Sites of Grace . A cutscene will play and Melina will offer an accord. Alternatively, activate at any two Sites of Grace in the overworld and then rest at one of the following Sites of Grace: Agheel Lake North, Agheel Lake South , Bridge of Sacrifice , Church of Elleh , Gatefront Ruins, Seaside Ruins , Stormhill Shack , or Third Church of Marika . (Optional) If you refuse her accord, you cannot enter Leyndell, Royal Capital , even with two Great Runes . You can reconsider at any time by selecting "Talk to Melina" at any Site of Grace. Accepting grants the Spectral Steed Whistle , allowing you to summon Torrent. (Optional) Sites of Grace Melina may appear when you rest at any Site of Grace, offering the dialogue options "The Rays of Grace" and "Melina's Goal". Note : these options will no longer be available once you progress to the next step. Melina offers to share the words of Queen Marika when the player rests at one of the following Sites of Grace: Church of Pilgrimage , First Church of Marika , Grand Lift of Dectus , Minor Erdtree Church , Outer Wall Battleground , Queen's Bedchamber , and Third Church of Marika . Select "Talk to Melina" and accept to hear them. Sites of Grace Rest at any Site of Grace outside Limgrave or fight Margit, the Fell Omen at least once to trigger another conversation in which Melina extends an invitation to the Roundtable Hold . Accepting this invite is mandatory for accessing Leyndell, Royal Capital later in the game. (Optional) Sites of Grace After progressing Boc the Seamster 's questline, Melina may appear to discuss him. If Boc moves to the East Raya Lucaria Gate , Melina will appear there to ask about him. If Boc moves to the Altus Highway Junction , Melina will appear there to ask about him again. (Optional) Sites of Grace ( Altus Plateau or Capital Outskirts ) Speak to Melina at any Site of Grace on the Altus Plateau or in the Capital Outskirts. This step is missed if the player enters Leyndell, Royal Capital. Leyndell, Royal Capital Resting at a Site of Grace in Leyndell will trigger another interaction with Melina, after which she will leave you. Her dialogue options at various Sites of Grace will be temporarily unavailable. Defeat Morgott, the Omen King . (Optional) Melina may be summoned as a cooperator by activating her summon sign outside Morgott's boss room. Approach the entrance to the Erdtree, turn back, and rest at the Elden Throne Site of Grace. Melina will appear and, after some dialogue, give you the Rold Medallion . (Ending A) Mountaintops of the Giants After defeating the Fire Giant and resting at the Forge of the Giants , you may talk to Melina. Speak to her and respond "I'm Ready" to commit the cardinal sin. Melina awakens the Giants' Flame, becomes its kindling, and burns the Erdtree. The player collapses and awakens in Crumbling Farum Azula . Note : this ends Melina's questline, as her spirit . You will not be able to hear any dialogue you may have missed. (Ending B) Frenzied Flame Proscription Visit the Frenzied Flame Proscription and interact with the Three Fingers . Melina will appear at the next Site of Grace you rest at and will leave you permanently. Note : this action cannot be reversed by using Celestial Dew at the Church of Vows or inserting Miquella's Needle at Dragonlord Placidusax . You will not be able to hear any dialogue you may have missed. Note : you will gain the option "Listen to the flames" when resting at the Forge of the Giants Site of Grace, allowing progression to Crumbling Farum Azula. This unlocks an additional cutscene in the Lord of Frenzied Flame ending .

Background [ ]

Melina's burned hands

Melina has long observed the Lands Between . [ 1 ] She was born at the foot of the Erdtree . [ 2 ] [ 3 ] She is a secret child of Queen Marika , but not born of a mother. Unlike Messmer or Morgott , Melina does not recall Marika with fondness. [ 4 ]
At some point long ago, Melina bore a vision of fire. [ 5 ] She was burned, leaving her bodiless; [ 6 ] a drifting spirit bound to Grace . [ 7 ] . Like her brother Messmer, [ 8 ] she was assigned a purpose by Marika. [ 3 ] However, she was unable to remember it. And so, Melina traveled with the spectral steed Torrent in search of the Tarnished who would lead her back to the foot of the Erdtree. There, she may ascertain her given purpose.
