Fia is one of the many NPCs you'll encounter that has a main quest to complete in Elden Ring. For this part of our Elden Ring guide, you'll find details of where to find her, how to begin her questline, and the outcomes of any choices to make along the way. Note that Fia is one of a handful of NPCs whose quest can affect the outcome of the game.

Where to Find Fia

Fia can be found in the Roundtable Hold, in the room just before Hewg. You can speak to her the first time you arrive there and she'll ask if she can hold you. You can accept or refuse the hug; if she does hug you, you'll receive a debuff (which you can learn how to remove here: How to Remove Fia's Hug Debuff).

If you speak to Fia a few times, new dialogue becomes available. To progress her individual storyline, you'll need to have started the Ranni the Witch Questline.

Inverting Carian Hall

When you've reached the point in Ranni's Questline where you receive the Carian Inverted Statue, you should return to the Study Hall Entrance Site of Grace in Liurnia and place the statue on the pedestal. This will invert Carian Hall, and you'll want to make your way down once you go inside.

Carefully drop down onto the chandeliers to reach the lift, which will take you all the way up to Liurnia Tower Bridge. You'll need to cross this bridge (you can choose to fight or flee from the Godskin Noble here) and reach the Divine Tower of Liurnia on the other side.

When you reach the top, approach the body and pick up the Cursemark of Death. Return to Fia at the Roundtable Hold and speak to her. Here you'll need to embrace her to be able to "talk in secret."

At this point, Fia will give you some more information and then ask you to return a weathered dagger to its owner. Speaking to D, Hunter of the Dead will now present the option to give him the aforementioned dagger.

Talk to D, Hunter of the Dead

Speak to D and give him the weathered dagger. He will ask where you got the dagger, but ultimately decides it doesn't matter and says he'll return it to them.

Reload the area and head to where Roderika and Hewg are located; here you'll see that the door at the end of the hallway near them is now open. Entering it will reveal Fia standing over D's corpse. Fia will admit to her treachery and her status as a Deathbed Companion, and then disappear from the Roundtable Hold.

To figure out where to go next requires a clue from the Rogier Questline. If Rogier dies, he leaves a note that says:

"I forgot to tell you, but it seems D has a younger brother. I heard he lies in a deep sleep in the aqueduct beside the Eternal City of Nokron. And it's said he stood before the Prince of Death not far beyond that spot."

This hint points to the fact you need to head to the Siofra River to continue this questline.

Siofra River

Head north from the Ancient Grounds Site of Grace (away from Nokron) to find the aqueduct to which Rogier was referring. Be wary, as there are two Crucible Knights here, one of which is waiting at the top of a waterfall. Head into the aqueduct, away from the Crucible Knight, to eventually find D's brother collapsed against a railing before a stairway upward. Depending on how far you have progressed D's questline, you may have the option here to give D's brother the Twinned Set.

Here you'll also be able to continue ahead to a boss battle with two Valiant Gargoyles. To continue Fia's questline, you will need to dispatch these two; upon doing so, head to the open coffin at the very back of the room and interact with it. Choosing to do so will activate a cutscene that results in your arrival at a new location.

Deeproot Depths

This will take you to Deeproot Depths, where you'll need to make your way across twisted Erdtree roots into the destroyed city. Make your way up the branches to reach a Site of Grace called Across the Roots. From the Deeproot Depths Site of Grace, head upwards past the stone enemies spewing flame, navigating the roots and crumbling towers of the abandoned city. Eventually, you will see a ledge below you; jump to it to reveal the Across the Roots Site of Grace. Activate this Site of Grace then look to the wall of the ledge to see a hole that leads into a large open space with a massive misshapen corpse entangled in the roots on the far wall.

Here, you will engage in a serial boss fight, wherein you will be taking on a series of Fia's Champions. These will include recognizable NPCs such as Lionel the Lionhearted and Rogier.

Upon defeating her Champions and reloading the area, Fia will be present, sitting below Godwyn's corpse on the far wall of the arena. Speaking to Fia again will allow you the option to have her hold you, which will provide another powerful buff (this time with no debuff effect). Give her the Cursemark of Death and choose to talk in secret with her to learn of her plans to lay with Godwyn.

If you rest at the Site of Grace, then return to Fia, you'll be presented with the option to enter a Deathbed Dream. Choosing to do this will bring you to the optional boss fight with Lichdragon Fortissax.

Defeat Lichdragon Fortissax to leave the Deathbed Dream. Upon doing so, you will see an item on Fia's corpse; collect it to receive the Mending Rune of the Death Prince from her. Using this ruin on Marika's body after the final boss fight will allow you to achieve the Age of Duskborn ending. Note that for this to be possible, you will need to have not opted to embrace the Frenzied Flame, as that will lock you out of all other endings.
