Complete Millicent’s quest

Millicent is the girl that you discover in the Church of the Plague and she is infested with Scarlet Rot that is slowly killing her. Luckily, Gowry knows how to heal her. After healing Millicent, she will set out on an adventure to forge her own path that ultimately leads to her death after a large fight in the Haligtree. Completing Millicent’s questline will get you the Unalloyed Gold Needle.

Defeat Malenia

Malenia has become known as the hardest boss in the entire game. She is quick on her feet and, in her own words, “has never known defeat.” It may take one, two, or thirty tries, but you will need to defeat Malenia. After she is defeated, a Scarlet Rot flower will appear in the arena. Using the Unalloyed Gold Needle on the flower will get you Miquella’s Needle, an important item to reverse your bad decision of interacting with the Three Fingers.

Defeat Placidusax

Not only do you need to defeat the hardest boss in the game, but also the toughest dragon boss in the game. Placidusax is known as the Dragonlord for a reason. This monstrous being is the hidden boss of Crumbling Farum Azula. Once he is defeated, use Miquella’s Needle on the altar in the arena to remove the Frenzied Flame from within your character. This is the only way to reverse the Frenzied Flame ending of the game.
