Fia Questline walkthrough
- Meet Fia. Talk to her in the Roundtable Hold and accept her embrace. You get Baldachin’s Blessing (a small HP debuff comes with the hug).
- Weathered Dagger. After the Radahn Festival has begun, hug her again to receive the Weathered Dagger.
- Give the dagger to D. Hand it to D, Hunter of the Dead, in the Roundtable Hold.
- Ask Rogier. Talk to Sorcerer Rogier about the Black Knives, then speak to Fia again.
- Knifeprint Clue. Fia gives you the Knifeprint Clue and leaves the Roundtable Hold.
- Reach Deeproot Depths. Go to Deeproot Depths, for example through the coffin behind the Valiant Gargoyles.
- Fia’s Champions. Defeat the spirit champions in the arena near the Across the Roots grace.
- Find Fia. Talk to her at the back of the arena and accept another hug. She asks for the Cursemark of Death.
- Cursemark of Death. You get it during Ranni’s questline from the Divine Tower of Liurnia.
- Give it to Fia. She gives you Radiant Baldachin’s Blessing.
- Fia sleeps. Exhaust her dialogue and reload the area. Fia is now asleep.
- Deathbed dream. Inspect her to enter the dream and fight Lichdragon Fortissax.
- Mending Rune. Back in Deeproot Depths, take the Mending Rune of the Death-Prince from beside Fia.
Ending and rewards
Use the Mending Rune at the end of the game, after the final boss, to choose the Age of the Duskborn ending.
Tips
- Ranni’s questline must be far enough along to give you the Cursemark of Death, so do them in parallel.
- D’s own story ties into Fia’s; talk to him every time you visit the Roundtable Hold.
- Track the bosses you beat with the boss checklist.
