Where to find Fiyu

The player can encounter the girl at the Round Table Fortress. A separate guide explains how to reach this location. After first visiting the safe area, Fia is found in the room on the first floor, next to the blacksmith. In her chamber, the girl sits on the bed. During the conversation, Fia will hug the player. This hug reduces health by 5 percent, but the Canopy Blessing item can restore it. The needed artifact is obtained immediately after the hug, allowing immediate activation.

From that point on, it is wise to visit the fortress periodically and speak with Fia again. The task can be paused and resumed later if desired. The author completed Fii’s quest chain after defeating the story boss Morgott, the Omen King, in the capital. Information on all required bosses is available in this guide.

How to complete Fii’s quest and obtain the ancient dagger. What does the Root of Death do?

Before starting the quest, players must meet Dee, the hunter of the dead, at the Round Table fortress. This requires defeating at least one boss, Boatman Tibia, and obtaining the Root of Death item. The simplest path is in the central graveyard area, near the village by the water. The Root of Death artifact can be offered to Gurrank, the Beast Shepherd, at the Animal Refuge. Each item exchanged grants a useful artifact, such as the fifth root unlocking the prayer known as Claw of the Beast.

Back at the fortress, a dialogue with Fiya presents an opportunity: a favor can be requested. The dead’s companion will grant the hero the ancient dagger. The dagger must then be returned to its owner. The hero proceeds to the Place of Mercy in the main hall of the Round Table fortress and delivers the weapon to Dee.

After some time, the hero revisits the fortress using a quick teleport or time rewind. A door opens near Fiya. The player passes the blacksmith and enters a new room, where the warrior’s corpse lies. A suit of armor, a bell bulb, and a conversation with Fiya cause her to disappear from the Round Table Fortress forever.

How to locate Dee’s twin brother

To conclude Dee’s arc, Dee must venture to the Eternal City in Nokron. This involves completing Ranny’s quest and obtaining the Mark of the Curse artifact. A separate guide details how to reach the secret city and obtain the necessary item.

In Nokron, the path leads to the Rocks from the Side of the Aqueduct grace. From the Forest of the Ancestors, heading straight, players pass jellyfish and drop into a cave. A horse helps jump to a platform and reach a small balcony opposite the boss. The armor is given to Dee’s brother to progress the tale.

How to defeat the Brave Gargoyles

The battle continues with the first gargoyle taking damage until a second enemy appears. If both are still too strong, return later after leveling up. The foes often unleash a poisonous cloud and strike with rapid sweeps. A partner can draw attention away, letting the player slip behind for multiple clean hits. Victory unlocks the Place of Mercy and nearby chests to access the Lower Deep Root location.

How to find Fiya and defeat her heroes

Following the roots leads to the Nameless Eternal City grace. A climb along another root takes the player to the top of a structure, then down to the Nameless Eternal City grace, and finally along the Roots. A large clearing is traversed in a straight line until it stops.

The player must defeat five opponents in sequence. The first two encounters are one-on-one duels, while the final battle pits the player against three Fii heroes simultaneously. A well-balanced build makes this manageable; healing pots should be used with timing to dodge enemy blows.

How to find the Dragon Lich boss Fortisax

After the champions are defeated, the player can speak with Fiya again and choose the hug option in the dialogue. Repeating this interaction multiple times opens access to the boss. The player discusses the artifact Sign of Curse and visits the nearest grace. Returning to Fia is required several times until all dialogues are exhausted. On the third visit, the girl falls asleep, and touching her leads into a dream sequence where the Dragon Lich Fortisax awaits. Fortisax is formidable but uses familiar dragon tactics. A trusted ally is recommended to manage the fight while employing standard evasion and attack timing.

How to obtain the secret ending in Elden Ring

Defeating the dragon and examining Fiya reveals the artifact The Whole Rune of the Prince of Death. Returning to the scene, checking the girl’s body and removing her hood may yield Dee’s armor, now standing by Fia’s remains since Dee’s armor was given earlier in the quest. The hero then uses the rune artifact and continues to the nearest grace. Dee becomes a suit of armor and a sword, and with the Rune of the Prince of Death, the player can trigger the secret ending by selecting the appropriate option in the final moment of the game.
