Many tasks are part of long and quest lines. This also applies Sage Gowri's quest in Elden Ring - the first stage of the storyline associated with Millicent. The reward for completing this quest will be new shopwhere you can buy useful combat spells.
How to start the Sage Gowri quest
First of all, you need to get to Gowri shackslocated in Starry wasteland. To find the desired point, you should move to north of Celia's Gate in Caelida. The nearest place of grace to it is "Inner part of Aeonia". The exact location of Gowri's dwelling is indicated on the map.
During a short dialogue, the character will tell the Extinguished One about his daughter, Millicent, who is in desperate need of help. He will ask the protagonist to get a broken needle of pure gold, without which it will not be possible to save the girl.
Where to find a solid gold needle in Elden Ring
This quest item drops from Commander O'Neill - one of the many optional bosses in Elden Ring. You can find the character directly in the swamps of Aeonia, if you go west from Gowri's shack.
How to kill Commander O'Neill in the Aeonian swamps
Armed with a giant halberd, the enemy can cause a lot of problems with his wide swings, from which it is not always possible to dodge. Therefore, it is recommended to use one of the following tactics:
- Fight O'Neill without getting off horse. Firstly, this inexplicably forces the boss to use only part of his attacks, and secondly, it makes it possible to quickly parry his attacks and deal solid damage while he recovers.
- Lure O'Nilou out of the arena, climb one of the nearby hills and shoot him with a bow. A suitable point for this is to the right of the "bonfire". Of course, this is not ideal, because in the second phase of the battle you will have to go down and deal with the mobs summoned by O'Neil. But after that, no one bothers to return to a convenient point and continue shelling the boss.
After defeating him, you need to pick up the needle and return to the Sage Gowri's shack. He will take the quest item and in return give it to the Extinguished note "Secret of Sellia". Gowri will need some time to repair the needle, so it is advised to either re-enter Elden Ring, or simply teleport a couple of times and visit the Sage again. He will return the repaired needle to the hero and ask him to deliver it to Millicent.
Where to find Millicent to give her a solid gold needle
The heroine is waiting for the Extinct in Temple of Plague, which is located in the northeast of Gowri's dwelling. To get to this location, you must remove three seals on the tops of the candle towers in Sellia. If suddenly Millicent is not found at the point indicated on the map, then it is worth taking a break at the nearest “bonfire”, after which it should appear.
It is necessary to give the sick heroine a needle of pure gold so that she can be cured. The next step is another dialogue with Gowry, during which he will ask the Extinguished One to look after Millicent. As a thank you, Gowry will temporarily open battle spell shopwhere you can buy:
- "Mist of the Night Maid"
- "Brilliant Stars"
- "Shard of the Night".
Next, you should talk to the sage's daughter, who is still in the Temple of Plague. She is already noticeably better, and she is going on a trip, and the Extinguished One will receive from her for his help Talisman Legacy of the Prosthetic Bearer (Gives +5 Agility). We need to look into Gowry's shack again, where Millicent will be instead of him. The girl will say that she came to say goodbye to someone and that these walls look familiar to her.
Quest Millicent
It begins the main part of Millicent's quest, which includes a fight with several bosses, a walk through secret locations and a difficult choice at the very end of the questline - fight Millicent and get closer to the bad ending of Elden Ring, or answer her call, regain your solid gold needle and block the gloomy outcome the whole story.
How to complete the Sage Gowri quest
What happens if you save the life of the Sage Gouri
Formally, Gowry's quest ends at the same time as Millicent's quest. You can return to his shack for the last time and see him alive (if Millicent eventually survived) or dead (if the Extinguished killed her). In both cases, the Sage's shop will be closed.
Therefore, it is advised to buy items immediately after Gowri puts them up for sale. Once Millicent gets the needle, you can buy spells from him Mist of the night maid (poison haze) shining stars (shot with three magic projectiles) and Shard of the night (shot with one projectile). After meeting Millicent at Giant Peaks, you can buy from the Sage prayer streams of parasites.
What happens if you kill the Sage Gouri
If the old man is dead after completing Millicent's quest, he can be picked up Gowri Bell Sphere и Canvas Talisman of the Pack. The first item allows you to expand the assortment in the store Twin old maids, and the second one increases the power of prayers by 8% when equipped. If the NPC is still alive, then you will have to kill him to get the items.
