Elden Ring: The Lore Behind Millicent Explained
Like many FromSoftware games, Elden Ring is dense with lore and secret histories that lie buried in its expansive environments. So many details about Elden Ring's story may escape the notice of players, as they're often hidden in item descriptions or briefly mentioned in snippets of dialogue that are easy to never come across. While many players love this approach to narrative, it might mean that the significance of certain NPCs is overlooked. Wider aspects of Elden Ring lore might even lose their potency if players don't fully explore certain environments or carefully read the descriptions of the loot they pick up, and it would be a shame to miss out on the rich and detailed lore of the Lands Between.
NPCs in particular often get overlooked. Some are difficult to find and even harder to keep track of. Players may miss a vital encounter, yet the NPCs in Elden Ring are some of the best conduits for its fascinating, original, and often tragic stories, and they help to provide color and context to the vast world. They supply questlines, help to advance the plot, serve as foils for the protagonist, and often provide great gear or other interesting items. One of the most fascinating NPCs with a classically sad tale is Millicent, a young woman suffering from the debilitating Scarlet Rot.
