How to Beat Malenia, Blade of Miquella
| 1 |  To reach the Haligtree, you will first need to access the Consecrated Snowfield. This means you'll need both halves of the Haligtree Secret Medallion: ・The left half is found at the end of Castle Sol in the Mountaintops of the Giants, on the roof of a tower in the area after defeating Commander Niall. ・The right half is found in the Village of the Albinaurics southwest of the Liurnia of the Lakes. Interact with a giant pot (Old Albus) east of the village Site of Grace to get it. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  After you have obtained both halves of the Haligtree Secret Medallion, head to the Grand Lift of Rold, stand on the elevator, and switch the action to 'Hoist secret medallion'. Confirm the action to be teleported to the Hidden Path of the Haligtree. |
| 3 |  After teleporting, reach the end of the path to claim the Hidden Path to the Haligtree Site of Grace and enter the Consecrated Snowfield. From the Site of Grace, follow the path north through the snow until you reach the Inner Consecrated Snowfield Site of Grace. From there, continue on north (you can pick up this area's Map Frament along the way) until you reach Ordina, Liturgical Town. |
| 4 |  Unseal the portal northeast of Ordina by going to the town's backside (north) and accessing the evergaol. You must solve the town's puzzle of lighting up four (4) nearby statue candles. After completing the puzzle, you will be transported out of the evergaol and can now use the portal at the top of the northeast stairs to teleport to Miquella's Haligtree. |
| 5 |  At the Haligtree Canopy, navgate through the branches until you reach the Haligtree Town. Follow the path west, getting to the lower areas of the town, and then around east to reach the end of the area and defeat Loretta, Knight of the Haligtree. Claim the Haligtree Promenade Site of Grace after. ▶ Miquella's Haligtree Walkthrough |
| 6 |  From the Haligtree Promenade, proceed north curving to the northwest until you reach Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree. Progress forward claiming the Prayer Room Site of Grace, then progress through Elphael, going north, inside, and around the legacy dungeon until you reach the Haligtree Roots. |
| 7 |  From the Haligtree Roots Site of Grace, proceed forward until you reach Malenia's boss arena. |
| 8 |  Defeat Malenia, Blade of Miquella to obtain the Remembrance of the Rot Goddess. Trade the Remembrance with Enia at the Roundtable Hold to obtain the weapon. |
