- Melina


Melina is a mysterious, spectral girl who is the deuteragonist of Elden Ring. She offers an alliance with the Tarnished to help them on their journey.

Overview

Background

Melina was born at the foot of the Erdtree[1] and describes her mother as within the Erdtree.[2] Although it is never stated, it can be inferred that her mother is Queen Marika the Eternal. During Boc's questline she asks if "being born of a mother" means acting in certain ways,[3] which makes the specifics of her origins unclear.

At some point, Melina's body was burned, which left her bodiless and as a roaming spirit[4] with no memory of her purpose given to her by her mother.[5] And so, she looked for a way to go to the foot of the Erdtree to ascertain her given purpose, and to be able to govern her movement, seemingly lost as a spirit,[6] meeting and travelling with Torrent at some time.

Game Events

Melina is accompanied by the spectral steed Torrent when they both spot an adrift Tarnished whom she believes is fortunate.[7] Some time later, she decides to approach and offer an accord to the maidenless Tarnished: she could play the role of the missing Finger Maiden in return for a ride to the foot of the Erdtree.[8] The Tarnished is forced to accept if they desire the strength of runes, and, if they accept the accord, Melina entrusts them with the Spectral Steed Whistle and, therefore, Torrent.

When Melina starts travelling with the Tarnished, she advises to follow the guidance of grace and seek the demigod residing within Stormveil Castle.[9] Once the Tarnished has felled the demigod, Melina confesses that she was testing the Tarnished to see if they truly possessed the guidance of grace and if they were fit for the challenges to come. Satisfied with her new companion, Melina offers to take them to Roundtable Hold, a gathering place for Tarnished champions.[10] Throughout their journey, Melina also provides specks of guidance at certain sites of grace and, at churches dedicated to Queen Marika, she offers to reveal words spoken by Marika herself in the distant past.[11]

Upon arriving at their destination, the Royal Capital at the foot of the Erdtree, Melina thanks the Tarnished for escorting her and leaves to ascertain her purpose, claiming that she can govern her movement more freely there. She entrusts the power of runes and Torrent to the Tarnished.[12] She will also offer her aid should the Tarnished challenge Morgott, the Omen King, ruler of Leyndell and guardian of the Erdtree.

After defeating Morgott, the Tarnished finds the path into the Erdtree barred by thorns refusing entrance to all. Melina, having ascertained her purpose and seeing the Tarnished stuck, rejoins the Tarnished to say that she can burn the Erdtree to gain entrance inside, provided that she can get ahold of the Flame of Ruin. And hence, she asks to go on a new journey, this time to the flame of ruin, far above the clouds, upon the snowy Mountaintops of the Giants.[13] and tells them she will take care of the "kindling" required to set the tree alight.[14]

Defeating Morgott also opens up the path to the Three Fingers. If the Tarnished rests at the nearest grace from their entombment, Melina will warn against meeting them and insist against inheriting the Frenzied Flame, for it would end all lives and births, which she cherishes.[15] If the player ignores her warnings, or just inherits the Frenzied Flame without speaking with her, she will say that The Tarnished is no longer fit, ending her accord, and forever leaving their side but threatening to kill them should they become Lord of Chaos.[16] If the Tarnished instead heeds her warnings, Melina and the protagonist will continue their Journey for the Flame of Ruin.

When making their way to the Forge of the Giants, Melina clarifies that she is now acting of her own volition, regardless of the purpose that her mother gave her.[17] After defeating the guardian of the flame, Melina puts her plan into action. She takes the Tarnished's hand, narcotizing them by doing so, and proceeds to sacrifice herself to channel the flame of ruin, setting the Erdtree aflame.[18] The Tarnished, maidenless once more, wakes up at Crumbling Farum Azula, fulfilling the saying of the Blade of Calling: The one who walks alongside flame, Shall one day meet the road of Destined Death.

Questline Progression

Melina's questline runs parallel to the main storyline and thus must be completed to finish the game.

  1. Limgrave
    • Activate two different Sites of Grace in the open world and then sit at one of the following Graces: Agheel Lake North, Agheel Lake South, Bridge of Sacrifice, Church of Elleh, Gatefront Ruins, Seaside Ruins, Stormhill Shack, or Third Church of Marika. You will trigger the first interaction with Melina. She will offer you an accord, allowing you to continue her quest.
      • Agheel Lake North and Gatefront Ruins will always summon Melina, even if two other Sites of Grace haven't been activated.
    • If you refuse her accord, you cannot enter Leyndell, Royal Capital, even with two Great Runes. If you refuse, you may always change your mind by selecting "Talk to Melina" at any Site of Grace.
    • If you accept, you will obtain the Spectral Seed Whistle, allowing you to summon Torrent.
    • (Optional) After accepting her accord, Melina may appear when you rest at Sites of Grace to offer the dialogue options "The Rays of Grace" and "Melina's Goal". These options will no longer be available once you progress to the next step.
  2. Anywhere
    • Rest at any Site of Grace outside Limgrave or fight Margit, the Fell Omen at least once to trigger another conversation in which Melina will invite you to Roundtable Hold. Accepting this invite is mandatory to access Leyndell, Royal Capital later in the game.
  3. 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 no longer be available until after you have defeated Morgott, Omen King.
  4. Leyndell, Royal Capital
    • (Optional) Melina may be summoned as a cooperator through her summon sign outside Morgott's boss room.
    • After defeating Morgott, approach the entrance to the Erdtree, and then turn back and rest at the Site of Grace. Melina will appear and after some dialogue, give you the Rold Medallion.
  5. 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 end Melina's questline. You will not be able to hear any dialogue you may have missed.
    • (Optional) If you visit the Frenzied Flame Proscription and interact with the Three Fingers before selecting "I'm ready" at the Forge of the Giants, Melina will appear at the next Site of Grace you rest at and will leave you permanently. You will now have the option "Listen to the flames" when you Rest at the Forge of the Giants Site of Grace, allowing you to progress to Crumbling Farum Azula. This will unlock an additional cutscene in the Lord of Frenzied Flame ending.

Notes

  • Melina's weapon is the Blade of Calling.
  • As Melina says herself, she is not an actual "finger maiden": "I've acted the finger maiden yet I can offer no guidance, I am no maiden."
  • There are hints in the game suggesting that Melina is another child of Radagon and Marika:
    • The Naming Convention: most siblings in the lands between share the first letter of their name, Melina/Malenia/Miquella would be no exception to this rule.
    • Hair Colour: Melina's hair colour seems to be a combination of Radagon and Marika's hair colours.
    • Butterfly Items: There are three butterfly items in-game, reflecting the three cursed children: (Nascent - Miquella | Aeonian - Malenia | Smouldering - Melina).
    • Her internal name in the game files is "MaricaOfDaughter".
    • The cutscene that plays when meeting Melina for the first time calls her "daughter Marika".[21]

Greetings.
Traveller from beyond the Fog.
I am Melina.
I offer you an accord.
First encounter Grace dialogue
Have you heard of the Finger Maidens?
They serve the Two Fingers, offering guidance, and aid, to the Tarnished.
But you, I am afraid, are maidenless.
I can play the role of maiden.
Turning runes into strength.
To aid you in your search for the Elden Ring.
You need only take me with you.
To the foot of the Erdtree.
Accept
Then it's settled.
Summon me by grace to turn runes into strength.
Ahh, another matter.
I bequeath to you this ring.
Use it to traverse great distances.
It will summon a spectral steed named Torrent.
Torrent has chosen you.
Treat him with respect.
Refuse
I understand. I'm asking you to put faith in but a stranger.
Yet I'm certain that we can reach an understanding.
Summon me by grace if you should reconsider.
If talked to again after refusing
Have you reconsidered my offer?
Level up
Shall I turn your runes to strength?
Let my hand rest upon you, for but a moment.
Share them with me. Your thoughts, your ambitions.
The principles you would follow.
Talk
This tiny golden aura is the grace of the Erdtree.
This light once shone in the eyes of your Tarnished brethren.
But now it is all that guides you. Or so I hear.
You can see them, can't you?
The rays of grace, that guide you through your burden.
Talk
Me?
I'm searching.
For my purpose, given to me by my mother inside the Erdtree, long ago.
For the reason that I yet live, burned and bodiless.
There is something for which I must apologise.
I've acted the Finger Maiden, yet can offer no guidance.
I am no maiden. My purpose…was long ago lost.
Talk
Upon the cliff, in Castle Stormveil, is a shardbearer.
A demigod who inherited a fragment of the shattered Elden Ring.
If the rays of grace signal the castle, then the Elden Ring beckons you.
As an ally by pact, ...I pray that you are fit...
To face the challenge presented by the Ring.
When resting at a Site of Grace after leaving Limgrave
Forgive me. I've been...testing you.
To see whether or not grace truly does guide you.
And...whether you are fit to face the challenge that entails.
It seems my worries were unfounded.
Torrent had your measure from the very start.
Whereas I merely pretended.
There is but one other thing I can do to offer you guidance.
I can take you to the Roundtable Hold...
Gathering place of Tarnished champions, guided by Grace...
Accept
Very well.
Let my hand rest upon you, for but a moment.
When resting at a Site of Grace in Altus Plateau
The Erdtree...is close.
Only a little further till the foot of the Erdtree, and the accord is fulfilled.
It takes me back.
I was born at the foot of the Erdtree.
Where mother gave me my purpose.
Though now, everything is lost to me.
I...have to ascertain for myself.
The reason for which I live, burned and bodiless.
About Boc
Your seamster, Boc...
He is always eager to see your return.
Please, will you talk to him, when you can?
I'm sure he would be much contented.
About Boc
Your seamster, Boc...
I see him crying, from time to time.
I think he misses his mother.
He wants someone to tell him he's beautiful.
Does being born of a mother...
Mean one behaves in such a manner?
When resting at the East Rampart Site of Grace
My utmost thanks.
For bringing me to the base of the Erdtree.
Here, I can govern my own movement.
And thus, the accord is fulfilled.
I shall depart to ascertain the purpose I was given.
Farewell.
I shall leave Torrent, and the power to turn runes into strength, here with you.
I wish you luck, in realising your ambition.
You have fought long and hard.
I have no doubt you will become Elden Lord.
May you take the throne.
When resting at the Elden Throne Site of Grace after defeating Morgott
Hello again, old friend.
It's me, Melina. Your travelling companion.
Allow me a moment to converse with you.
You were unable to enter the Erdtree, no?
Prevented by the mantle of barbs.
The thorns are impenetrable.
A husk of the Erdtree's being; that spurns all that exists without.
The only way to stand before the Elden Ring...
and become the Elden Lord...is to pass the thorns.
My purpose serves to aid in that very act.
So I'd like you to undertake a new journey, with me.
To the flame of ruin, far above the clouds, upon the snowy mountaintops of the giants.
Then I can set the Erdtree aflame.
And guide you. Down the path to becoming Elden Lord.
Talk
I wish to journey with you once more.
To the flame of ruin, far above the clouds, upon the snowy mountaintops of the giants.
Then I can set the Erdtree aflame.
And guide you. Down the path to becoming Elden Lord.
After talking to Enia after defeating Morgott
Think not, of the kindling.
I shall see to that.
All I ask of you is to make the journey.
To the snowy mountaintops of the giants, far above the clouds.
I know...
I'm asking you to commit a cardinal sin.
But it must be done to reach the path beyond.
And that is the path I wish to travel.
What is your mind?
When resting at a Site of Grace with an Echo of Marika for the first time
Spoken echoes linger here.
Words of Queen Marika, who vanished long ago.
If you wish, I will share them with you.
Refuse
Of course. Perhaps there is no need.
Tell me if you should change your mind.
Echoes of Marika (First Church of Marika)
In Marika's own words.
Hark, brave warriors. Hark, my lord Godfrey. We commend your deeds.
Guidance hath delivered ye through each ordeal, to the place ye stand.
Put the Giants to the sword, and confine the flame atop the mount.
Let a new epoch begin. An epoch glistening with life.
Brandish the Elden Ring, for the Age of the Erdtree!
Echoes of Marika (Grand Lift of Dectus)
In Marika's own words.
The Erdtree governs all. The choice is thine.
Become one with the Order. Or divest thyself of it.
To wallow at the fringes; a powerless upstart.
Echoes of Marika (Third Church of Marika)
Very well. In Marika's own words.
My Lord, and thy warriors. I divest each of thee of thy grace.
With thine eyes dimmed, ye will be driven from the Lands Between.
Ye will wage war in a land afar, where ye will live, and die.
Well? Perhaps that might serve you in lieu of a maiden's guidance.
Echoes of Marika (Minor Erdtree Church)
In Marika's own words.
I declare mine intent, to search the depths of the Golden Order.
Through understanding of the proper way, our faith, our grace, is increased.
Those blissful early days of blind belief are long past.
My comrades; why must ye falter?
Echoes of Marika (Church of Pilgrimage)
In Marika's own words.
Then, after thy death, I will give back what I once claimed.
Return to the Lands Between, wage war, and brandish the Elden Ring.
Grow strong in the face of death. Warriors of my lord.
Lord Godfrey.
Echoes of Marika (Capital Outskirts)
In Marika's own words.
Hear me, Demigods. My children beloved.
Make of thyselves that which ye desire. Be it a Lord.
Be it a God.
But should ye fail to become aught at all, ye will be forsaken.
Amounting only to sacrifices...
Echoes of Marika (Queen's Bedchamber)
In Marika's own words.
O Radagon, leal hound of the Golden Order.
Thou'rt yet to become me. Thou'rt yet to become a god.
Let us be shattered, both. Mine other self.
When resting at Snow Valley Overlook Site of Grace
There is something I'd like to say.
My purpose was given to me by my mother.
But now, I act of my own volition.
I have set my heart upon the world that I would have.
Regardless of my mother's designs.
I won't allow anyone to speak ill of that.
Not even you.
When resting at the Giant's Gravepost Site of Grace
We're almost there.
The flame of ruin lies just ahead.
I'm glad it was you I travelled with.
I must tender my thanks to Torrent, too.
Thank you, Torrent.
Please continue to lend your aid. Till the end.
When resting at the Forge of the Giants Site of Grace
I have long observed the Lands Between.
This world is in dire need of repair...
and Death...indiscriminate.
Are you prepared...
To commit a cardinal sin?
Accept
Very well.
Let my hand rest upon you, for but a moment.
Refuse
Very well.
Tell me, when you are fully prepared.
When talked to again after refusing
Are you ready to commit a cardinal sin?
Cutscene at Forge of the Giants
O Erdtree, you shall burn.
Burn, for the sake of the new Lord.
Thank you. For guiding me here.
The one who walks alongside flame, Shall one day meet the road of Destined Death.
Good-bye.
When resting at the Frenzied Flame Proscription
If you intend to claim the frenzied flame,
I ask that you cease.
It is not to be meddled with.
It is chaos, devouring life and thought unending.
However ruined this world has become, however mired in torment and despair...
Life endures. Births continue.
There is beauty in that, is there not?
If you would become Lord, do not deny this notion.
Please, leave the frenzied flame alone.
When talked to after reaching the Frenzied Flame Proscription
I shall see to the kindling.
It is a purpose which I choose to fulfil.
So, please... Leave the frenzied flame alone.
When talked to after reaching the Frenzied Flame Proscription
The frenzied flame is not to be meddled with.
It is chaos, devouring life and thought unending.
So, please... Leave the frenzied flame alone.
When talked to after reaching the Frenzied Flame Proscription
I ask you, one more time.
Please, seek not the frenzied flame.
As one who strives to become a Lord, deny not the lives, the new births of this world.
Those who would are not fit to be called Lord.
When the land they preside over is lifeless.
When talked to after reaching the Frenzied Flame Proscription
Please, put a stop to this madness.
The Lord of Frenzied Flame is no lord at all.
When the land they preside over is lifeless.
After inheriting the Flame of Frenzy
You...have inherited the frenzied flame.
A pity. You are no longer fit.
Our accord ends here.
But remember...
Should you rise, as the Lord of Chaos,
I will kill you, as sure as night follows day.
Such is my duty, for allowing you the strength of runes.
Goodbye, my companion.
Goodbye, Torrent...
Lord of Frenzied Flame ending
Lord of Frenzied Flame...
I will seek you, as far as you may travel...
To deliver you what is yours.
Destined Death.

生なき世界に、王などいるものか
When talked to after reaching the Frenzied Flame Proscription
お願いだ。もう、やめてくれないか
狂い火の王など、王ではない
生なき世界に、王などいるものか
After inheriting the Flame of Frenzy
…狂い火を、受領したのね
だったら、貴方とはもう、相容れない
契約も、もうこれまで
…そして、覚えておいて
もし貴方が、本当に、混沌の王になったなら
…私は貴方を、殺すだろう
それが、貴方にルーンの力を与えた、責任だから
…さようなら、貴方
トレント…
Lord of Frenzied Flame ending
狂い火の王…
…必ず、辿り着いてみせる
…そして貴方に
運命の死を
