Elden Ring Fia Quest Guide

Fia’s questline represents one of Elden Ring’s most narratively rich and mechanically complex character journeys, offering profound insights into the Golden Order’s hidden brutality while unlocking an alternative path to becoming Elden Lord. As a Deathbed Companion, Fia’s motivations intertwine deeply with the game’s central conflicts that shaped The Shattering.

This extensive quest chain ranks second only to Ranni’s in terms of complexity, requiring traversal across multiple regions and interaction with numerous supporting characters. The narrative depth makes it worthwhile even for players committed to different endings, as it reveals critical backstory about the demigods and their struggles.

Strategic hugging: Each embrace advances Fia’s quest but applies a temporary HP debuff that requires immediate management.

Common Pitfall: Many players forget to use Baldachin’s Blessing immediately after hugging Fia, leaving them with reduced health during subsequent exploration. Set a mental reminder to activate this item immediately after each embrace sequence.

The quest officially initiates during your first encounter with Fia at Roundtable Hold when you accept her embrace. However, substantive progression remains locked until you acquire two Great Runes from major demigod bosses. The specific combination appears flexible—defeating Godrick and Rennala works equally well as Rennala and Radahn.

Once you possess two Great Runes, journey to Altus Plateau using either the Grand Lift of Dectus or through the alternative tunnel route. Critical progression trigger: activate any Site of Grace within Altus Plateau, then return to Roundtable Hold via fast travel.

Advanced Strategy: For optimized progression, combine Fia’s quest with other NPC storylines. The Class Guide principles of strategic planning apply here—coordinate your main story advancement with side quest activation for maximum efficiency.

Time Management Tip: Allocate approximately 3-4 hours for the initial phase including Altus Plateau access and Great Rune acquisition.

Upon returning to Roundtable Hold, speak with Fia and accept another embrace. This interaction unlocks new dialogue options and rewards you with the Weathered Dagger, a quest-critical item that must be delivered to its original owner, D, Hunter of the Dead. You’ll find D positioned near the Table of Grace area, appearing hunched over in contemplation.

After handing D the dagger, immediately fast travel away from Roundtable Hold and return to trigger the next story beat. You’ll discover D has disappeared, and the previously locked room beyond Hewg’s blacksmith area becomes accessible.

Enter this chamber to encounter Fia standing over D’s corpse. Listen carefully to her explanatory dialogue about her motivations before she departs. Loot D’s body to obtain essential items: his Bell Bearing (enables purchase of his Incantations from Maiden Husks) and the Twinned Armor, which becomes crucial for later quest stages.

Mechanics Insight: The Twinned Armor represents one of Elden Ring’s most narratively significant equipment pieces, embodying the inseparable connection between D and his unseen brother.

Progress Ranni’s questline until you invert the Carian Study Hall and obtain the Cursemark of Death. Simultaneously, you must defeat Starscourge Radahn in Caelid to advance Fia’s story. Radahn’s defeat triggers a meteor impact in southern Mistwood, creating access to Nokron, the Eternal City—your gateway to Deeproot Depths.

Navigate the cliffside pathways descending into the underground city until reaching Siofra River Depths Site of Grace. Defeat the Mimic Tear boss, then continue northward through Nokron’s structures. Watch for a distinctive cliff area populated by multiple jellyfish—this marks your progression point.

Locate the small drop-off at the cliff’s edge leading to a tunnel system. This passage winds through ancient towers until terminating at a fog barrier guarding one of Elden Ring’s most challenging boss encounters.

Boss Strategy: The Valiant Gargoyles dual boss fight demands careful tactical approach. Both enemies exhibit significant vulnerability to magic and fire damage types. Melee-focused builds should apply Fire Grease to weapons for maximum effectiveness. Consider summoning spirits to distract one gargoyle while focusing damage on the other.

Exploration Tip: Like mastering Weapons Unlock systems, understanding enemy weaknesses transforms this from an impossible struggle to a manageable challenge.

Following the Valiant Gargoyles defeat, you face a narrative crossroads involving D’s brother. If you completed Rogier’s questline, you’ll possess a letter referencing this character. Otherwise, locate him on the Siofra Aqueduct balcony immediately outside the gargoyle battle arena.

You may transfer the Twinned Armor to D’s brother at any point after acquiring it, though narrative consequences only manifest after reuniting with Fia. This armor transfer awakens the brother from his slumber, initiating his vow to avenge D’s murder.

Alternative Path: Some players report successfully eliminating D during encounters outside Roundtable Hold, then providing his armor to the brother and engaging in combat without Fia suffering fatal consequences. However, comprehensive testing regarding Weathered Dagger interactions with this approach remains incomplete.

Ultimately, locate Fia within Deeproot Depths and deliver the Cursemark of Death to complete her questline. This action unlocks the unique Elden Lord ending tied to her narrative arc.
