I can play the role of maiden. Turning rune fragments 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.

- 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 reveal

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.

The Tarnished[]

Melina offers an accord

Melina and Torrent spot a washed-up, maidenless Tarnished whom she believes is fortunate.[9] Sometime later, she approaches to offer them an accord: She could play the role of the missing Finger Maiden in return for a ride to the foot of the Erdtree.[10] If the player desires the strength of runes, and, if they accept the accord, Melina entrusts them with the Spectral Steed Whistle and, therefore, Torrent.

When Melina starts traveling with the Tarnished, she advises them to follow the guidance of Grace and seek the shardbearer at Stormveil Castle.[11] Once the Tarnished defeats 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.[12] 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.[13]

Leyndell, Royal Capital[]

Melina looks for her purpose

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.[7] 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 Giants' Flame. 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.[14] and tells them she will take care of the "kindling" required to set the tree alight.[15]

Defeating Morgott also opens a 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.[16] 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.[17] If the Tarnished instead heeds her warnings, Melina and the protagonist will continue their journey for the flame of ruin.

Cardinal Sin[]

Eldenringmelinaforge1

Melina awakens 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.[18] 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.[19] The Tarnished, maidenless once more, wakes up at Crumbling Farum Azula. There, they must confront the Black Blade Maliketh and recover the Rune of Death. In this, Melina fulfills her purpose: "The one who walks alongside flame, Shall one day meet the road of Destined Death."[20]

Destined Death[]

Eldenringddmelina2

Melina vows to deliver Destined Death

In a cutscene for the Lord of Frenzied Flame ending, a chorus of whistling leads a transformed Melina to the Spectral Steed Whistle. She recovers the smoldering ring from a pile of ash and holds it in her open palm. As the final remnants of Torrent are consumed by the Frenzied Flame, she vows retribution upon the player in the form of Destined Death.[21]

Melina may only be encountered when resting at Sites of Grace.

Questline Progression[]

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

  1. Limgrave
    • Rest at three sites of Grace after exiting the catacombs. For example, The First Step, Church of Elleh, and either Gatefront or Agheel Lake North Site of Grace. On the third, you will trigger the first interaction with Melina. She will offer you an accord, allowing you to continue her quest.
    • 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 is a child of Marika and has access to her most secret incantation.[3][23][24]
    • This incantation will also be automatically cast when she dies, even as a cooperator, the only way to see this in-game without modding.
  • Melina can be summoned to help fight against Morgott.
  • Melina is not a Finger Maiden.[25]
  • Melina is aware her agency will be restored if the Erdtree is destroyed.[17]
  • If the player spares Melina and chooses the Lord of Frenzied Flame ending, she will be transformed after Marika and the Erdtree are destroyed.[21]
    • Melina's purpose remains the same, but its context becomes flipped: "The one who walks alongside flame, Shall one day meet the road of Destined Death."

Speculation[]

  • It is implied that Melina is another child of Radagon and Marika:
    • Naming Convention: Most siblings in the Lands Between share the first letter of their name. Messmer/Melina/Miquella/Malenia would be no exception to this rule.
    • Hair Color: Melina's hair color seems to be a combination of Radagon and Marika's hair colors.
    • Butterflies: There are four butterfly items in-game, each representing a cursed demigod: Nascent Butterfly (Miquella), Aeonian Butterfly (Malenia), Black Pyrefly (Messmer), Smoldering Butterfly (Melina).
    • Messmer had a younger sister who also bore a vision of fire.[5] It is unknown when in the timeline Melina was born exactly, but Messmer acted as an older brother to Radahn.[26]
    • The soundtrack for Messmer's boss fight shares a leitmotif with Radagon's boss theme.[27]
  • It is implied that Melina gave Ranni the Spirit Calling Bell.[28][29]
  • Melina has an implied connection to the Gloam-Eyed Queen as she inherits the power of Destined Death should the player spare her by using the Frenzied Flame as kindling.[1][5][17][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.

…分かった
準備ができたら、教えて欲しい
When talked to again after refusing
大罪に向かう、準備はできた?
Cutscene at Forge of the Giants
黄金樹よ、燃えるがよい
新しい王のために
…ありがとう。私を連れてきてくれて
炎と共に歩む者
いつか、運命の死に見えん
さようなら
When resting at the Frenzied Flame Proscription
…貴方がもし、狂い火に向かっているのなら
それだけは、やめて欲しい
あれは、触れざるもの
全ての生を、その思いを喰らう混沌
この世界がいかに壊れ、苦痛と絶望があろうとも
生があること、産まれることは
…きっと、素晴らしい
だから貴方に、王を目指す貴方に、それだけは否定して欲しくない
…狂い火に向かうのは、やめて欲しい
When talked to after reaching the Frenzied Flame Proscription
…種火の件なら、私が用意する
それが私の、私自身が望む、使命だから
だから、狂い火に向かうのは、やめて欲しい
When talked to after reaching the Frenzied Flame Proscription
…狂い火は、触れざるもの
全ての生を、その思いを喰らう混沌
だから、狂い火に向かうのは、やめて欲しい
When talked to after reaching the Frenzied Flame Proscription
…もう一度だけ、言わせてほしい
狂い火に向かうのは、やめて欲しい
貴方に、王を目指す貴方に
生があること、産まれることを、否定して欲しくない
…そんなものは、王ではない
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
