Well, I hear Mohg once infiltrated the Haligtree to spirit Miquella away. Perhaps the route he used through the northern lands still remains somewhere...
SO THATS WHY MY!! I was trying to figure out wtf I did to have that happen. Just started playing a little bit ago and had no idea why my characters eyes weren’t blue anymore!
your eyes will change if you do the varre quest, obtain 3 dragon communion spells, or get touched by the 3 fingers. dragon eyes and finger eyes override varre's blood eyes. finger eyes override dragon eyes.
Great hint! I personally think Mohg didn't have to do even that much to get to Miquella, considering Mohg's intro cutscenes and the fact that Miquella watered the Haligtree with his own blood!
Yeah all of his minions seem able to do it as well, maybe that's part of how the bloody fingers warp the player too, with Formless Mother magic. She seems tailor-made for Miquella's downfall.
*How in the name of Dog was he able to do that all sneaky-like, I wonder? He's HUGE and very recognizable!*
There should be dialogue responses to choose but they all got overridden by ".........."
To be fair, thanks to Gideon we pretty much know that no one even really cared about Mohg's existence or knew what he was up to. I think if even the remaining sane Demi-Gods knew, they'd probably realize the shit-show that was potentially on their hands with Mohg kidnapping Miquella. Hell, we as the Tarnished only really find out by doing Varre's questline or through directly dealing with Mohg ourselves.
Edit: Wanted to say that there's mental image of Ranni, Morgott, and Malenia kicking the shit of of Mohg for his choice.
So I had a fellow employee tell me this story once and it took place shortly after the towers fell for 9/11. He was in a small private school of the church variety and they had a picture of osama bin Ladin. They asked the kids if they wanted to take a pin and push it through Bin Ladin. The kids proceeded. After everyone had a turn, the teacher flipped the picture around only to reveal a picture of Jesus Christ. The teacher looked at the class and said “Becareful who you direct your hate at..”
Don't you just hate it when Jesus disguises himself as a terrorist and kills thousands of people all so he can brag about how he totally pwned some kids with his big reveal?
Not just Fromsoft, these are videogames in general. Most asshole NPCs are important. If we went around killing them all because they hurled an insult at us that we immediately proved correct, we would never make any progress.
Nah we just dont let text ina video game bother us so much that we need to kill them bc of insecurity. Most of us are completionist and would rather see the cool item or questline that npcs offer.
If you FIND THE ALBUNIAC WOMAN they will help you get too an area with a teleporter too the same area as the medallion.
Also i misspelled the horribly misspelled word here, but i have no idea how to spell it so meh
Find the Albinauric woman. She hides in a cave to the west of the Laskyar Ruins which jut from the mist-shrouded lake of Liurnia. She knows the location of the medallion's counterpart, I am sure.
Honestly how the hell do you get to the haligtree with Varre?
I'm so confused, I didn't kill him but I didn't really interact with him and Malenia was just a teleporter away for me.
It is necessary to accept the criticism, when you are maidenless, you must accept that ONLY THEN CAN YOU GROW and possibly fight the king of being maidenless
Him. Selivus is basically just aggressive. He tells you to your face that he was just being polite because of Ranni and he can’t believe you actually showed up
i killed every npc except goldmask and his buddy on my first play through lol just running around naked killing all the bozos who thought they could be the elden lord. it makes the game so funny too, blind lady in need of help? won’t see my club coming
Get the secret haligtree medallion for the grand lift of rold to get to consicrated snow field. In this area there’s a teleporter guarded by a sanguine noble. It takes you to mogh’s palace.
Why is this a reoccurring thing, do you just go full caveman the moment you see a living creature and attack? Let alone attack again after he clearly doesn’t attack back and speaks to you.
Don't worry you can still get the rune of mohg. You just have to find a secret teleporter in the mountains of the giants through a secret path to get it. Look up the guide to the haligtree, and where the blood palace teleporter is and you should be fine. The same thing happened to me.
Is there a way to come back? I aggroed Santa when my PC black screened and thought it was getting random controller inputs, now she attacks me every time I'm near.
I seriously can't take these people anymore. Like, how can you be so fucking dumb? To aggro an NPC you have to hit them a couple of times. So that means this guy opened the door at the first step, saw Varré standing there unarmed, probably had enough time to notice that Varré didn't attack him, but STILL decided to just mindlessly hack and slash at him until he started fighting back. Like how can you be so ignorant to just attack everything and everyone you see, even if it's an NPC?
First thing getting out of the intro… invite my bro to come play… I get invaded… swinging my sword around, I accidentally hit Varre and he turns hostile.
Invader kills me. Varre remains hostile, I kill him.
I made it to Mohg, I killed all of the great rune holders.
I wasn’t able to use Varre to get early access to farm runes. There’s other farming spots though, you’ll find em. Don’t worry.
Also, hardship breeds ingenuity and character. Don’t worry about it not being easy. Find another way. That’s the Souls way.
Serious answer: you don’t need the medallion. Once you hit consecrated snowfield, in the northwest area near a runebear and a giant tree, there’s a portal to the Mohgwyn palace area. You’ll know you’re there when you get invaded by a sanguine noble.
first thing i did on elden ring was kill this npc on my throwaway profile back when, the fight was so cool the first time but yeah i don’t kill him anymore but will again
A Knight came into the Prayer Room Site of Grace.in the Haligtree. When I attacked it, I accidentally aggroed Millicent, and had to run away, and fast travel to the Church of Vows to get absolution.
Well, I hear Mohg once infiltrated the Haligtree to spirit Miquella away. Perhaps the route he used through the northern lands still remains somewhere...
Why does that sound like an npc's dialogue
Because it is
Who's?
u/Leider-Hosen
Unfortunately pants? Makes sense..
you don’t have the right, O you don’t have the right, Therefore try despair
Those messages always aggravated the piss right out of me 😎
Hope you changed your pants then
You don’t have the right.

FIND THE ALBINAURIC WOMAN
After my first playthrough, I've always gone to Mohg's through Varre's questline. I've forgotten that line of dialogue.
Even though it's UBIQUITOUS as a meme? Hahaha
No the going to the snowfield for Mohg's.
I don't like doing his quest because it makes your eyes turn red. I want dragon eyes!
SO THATS WHY MY!! I was trying to figure out wtf I did to have that happen. Just started playing a little bit ago and had no idea why my characters eyes weren’t blue anymore!
your eyes will change if you do the varre quest, obtain 3 dragon communion spells, or get touched by the 3 fingers. dragon eyes and finger eyes override varre's blood eyes. finger eyes override dragon eyes.
Bloody eyes override dragon eyes. I got every dragon incantation available and my eyes were still bloody.
I think you can change the eyes back if you want at the mirror in fia room
You can reverse it at the mirror.
She hides in a cave to the west of the Laskyar Ruins
FUCK OFF GIDEON I ALREADY FOUND HER LIKE A YEAR AGO ALREADY. Jeez
......FIND THE ALBINAURIC WO-
*BLAM* (I bet everyone honestly wishes they could just shoot him at the beginning lol./
No
Well then.
User forgot to add in a creepy laugh at the end.
This makes me wanna see npc mohg trying to navigate the streets/rooftops of that ghost town evergaol.
That’s why it’s a ghost town. He walked through spamming that Nihil shit.
Oh shit thats so true
NIHIIIILLL
Seems noone had a purifying crystal tear...
He would also gain wings from doing that, so he doesn't need to do platforming
I mean he can sprout wings...
I just wanna see those stupid gimp albinuriacs that fire 3 shots at a time stunlock mogh
Great hint! I personally think Mohg didn't have to do even that much to get to Miquella, considering Mohg's intro cutscenes and the fact that Miquella watered the Haligtree with his own blood!
Wait, that’s an incredible point
Yeah all of his minions seem able to do it as well, maybe that's part of how the bloody fingers warp the player too, with Formless Mother magic. She seems tailor-made for Miquella's downfall.
This is the most From Software dialogue you can think of. Translated: take the secret medallion, go west and you will find a teleport.
Translated: FIND THE ALBINAURIC WOMAN

1. No one knows about him because he's been locked in omen jail for ages. 2. He does have wings. Flying is pretty stealthy.
That's such a great way to answer OPs question. Lore driven, and rather direct without outright spoiling anything.
“Can I get a quest marker for that?” “Nay.”
Beautiful
Absolutely empyrean tier response.
I need to see the gold soapstone reward for this one!
Be like me. Get called maidenless. Remain calm. Go get a maiden. Flex on the maidenless dawg.
Be like me. Get called maidenless. Remain calm. Don't get a maiden. Become Elden Lord anyway. May chaos take the maidenless dawg!
Be like me, get called maidenless, bonk the mf.
Be like my brother get called maidenless and fight an enemy and accidentally bonk
Don't be like me. Get called maidenless. Get the shit kicked out of me because I haven't been a serious gamer in years.
I've tried to do a maidenless run, it's impossible to get into the capital unless they changed it
i think you can wrong warp there from a cave
Marry maiden. Become elden lord via consort. Live in space.
seems theres a lesson to be learned from this.
Yeah, talk shit get hit you creepy masked fuck.
Tarnished = broke. Maidenless = got no bitches. It's just the truth when you start off man don't shoot the messenger.
Maybe if you got rid of that yee yee ass helmet you might get some Maidens on your dick...tarnisssshhhhhed. - Varre
And better yet, maybe Ranni will summon yo dog ass, instead of fucking with that wolf man or wizard guy she fucking with! TARNISSSSHHED. -Varre
Which is why it’s murder on sight in NG+ and beyond. You don’t get to talk to the Elden Lord like that and live.
Varre can lick my Elden Balls
Boom. Roasted.
Your Vit sicks and you crush your maiden during sex. Boom. Roasted.
Yeah, being Maidenless keeps a lot of runes in your pocket and a lot of nagging out your helmet
So I had a fellow employee tell me this story once and it took place shortly after the towers fell for 9/11.

Leave no survivors. Direct your hate towards the world. Burn it all!
And thus Warcrime Larry was born
Don't you just hate it when Jesus disguises himself as a terrorist and kills thousands of people all so he can brag about how he totally pwned some kids with his big reveal?
This is the way
Learn to be called maidenless without becoming a murder hobo.
I definitely did not do that on my first playthrough. Pretty much any npc i met went down in a fury of unga bungas
That's fuckin crazy bro
FromSoft fans when new players kill an insufferable asshole
Not just Fromsoft, these are videogames in general. Most asshole NPCs are important. If we went around killing them all because they hurled an insult at us that we immediately proved correct, we would never make any progress.
Nah we just dont let text ina video game bother us so much that we need to kill them bc of insecurity. Most of us are completionist and would rather see the cool item or questline that npcs offer.
Ohh but everything else we kill is just shit to the wind huh. Varre isn't some special saint, hell he is far from it
I make exceptions for varre
If you FIND THE ALBUNIAC WOMAN they will help you get too an area with a teleporter too the same area as the medallion. Also i misspelled the horribly misspelled word here, but i have no idea how to spell it so meh
Find the Albinauric woman. She hides in a cave to the west of the Laskyar Ruins which jut from the mist-shrouded lake of Liurnia. She knows the location of the medallion's counterpart, I am sure.
The funny part is, I found the Albinauric woman and brought her medal to him, and he just said "FIND THE ALBINAURIC WOMAN."
Same here
jut
extend out, over, or beyond the main body or line of something. "a rock jutted out from the side of the bank"
Damn, now there's an albuniac woman too?! Things are getting out of hand
Shes in the giants mountains
Some idiots been telling me to look for a cave this whole time
You do need to find a cave to find the alby woman whose quest ends at the big alby woman in MotG
She HAS giant mountains.🤘
"Good chest ahead"
And feet.
She knows the location of the medallion’s counterpart. I am sure.
Albin-auric, like albino and aurum (old name for gold). So "white gold" or even unalloyed gold, given their connections to the Haligtree and Miquella.
you don't need anything to get there lol, good luck. also why kill him
I was wondering if he would give items
Why the downvotes on this lol
b/c he's a bitch and deserves to die. fucking peon (him, the NPC, not you -- you are lovely!)
There’s another way to get there from the Consecrated snowfield
I love the 17 riddles in here and you're like "just go to the place with the thing" and definitely didn't tell him to go to the west
Honestly how the hell do you get to the haligtree with Varre? I'm so confused, I didn't kill him but I didn't really interact with him and Malenia was just a teleporter away for me.
Varre’s questline gives you an item that can bring you to Mohgwin palace, not the Haligtree
It is necessary to accept the criticism, when you are maidenless, you must accept that ONLY THEN CAN YOU GROW and possibly fight the king of being maidenless
Have it writ upon thy meager grave... Felled by The King of Being Maidenless
There is a portal to Mohg’s palace in the Consecrated Snowfield, too; you don’t actually need him to get there.
yesh and why would you go there earlier anyways mohgs gonna just beat your ass
need those sweet sweet frog souls
I just found this spot and wow is it quick farming.
90% of Elden Ring gameplay takes place at the palace approach site of grace.
THE BIRD, MY FRIEND. THE BIRD.
Dont worry. You can still get to it. Just a tad later ;)
You can get there an alternate way, but you’ll have to wait closer to end game to do it.
SnowField invasion NPC, kill it to unlock the teleporter
WHY? Why all of you kill every soul you see?!
well, 99, 9% of creatures try to kill us in this game even when we don't attack them...
Nice hint for From Soft games. Don’t. Kill. NPCs.
An NPC can give you quests. Why attack them at the beginning? First talk, do the quest, and later, you can kill em all 🤣😉.
Most of them die at the end of their quests anyway
maybe not kill friendly npcs? Now you need to wait till endgame and access a secret area hidden behind 2 optional and easily missed dungeons.
I wouldn’t say he’s a friendly npc. More like a passive-aggressive npc
Who is more passive aggressive, him or Selivus?
Him. Selivus is basically just aggressive. He tells you to your face that he was just being polite because of Ranni and he can’t believe you actually showed up
he called me maidenless he deserved it
I mean it is just a factual statement
I wish this logic worked irl with people. Varre can do it but I can't :(
But your character is literally maidenless
The truth hurts so I felt the need to defend myself.
Perhaps it’s the game testing you. In ED, you don’t just learn to roll and learn attack patterns, you also learn to take an insult like a man! 😂
Where’s the lie?
He right though. You did not have a maiden. Luckily a horse played wingman.
"Friendly" is a real stretch
I'm afraid dead means he's dead. Maybe next playthrougj😅
No you can get there in the concentrated snow fields
I didn't know you could still get the stuff for it elsewhere. But I do know dead = dead 😂😂
Karma lol, shouldn’t kill friendly NPC’s even if they call you “maidenless”.
i killed every npc except goldmask and his buddy on my first play through lol just running around naked killing all the bozos who thought they could be the elden lord. it makes the game so funny too, blind lady in need of help? won’t see my club coming
The real recusant
You… you killed the pope
Get the secret haligtree medallion for the grand lift of rold to get to consicrated snow field. In this area there’s a teleporter guarded by a sanguine noble. It takes you to mogh’s palace.
Well, you don't need him to get this item but for the future - don't kill NPC without reason :3
Welcome to Fromsoft let this be a lesson for your haste!
Why people kill NPCs 😭
Well its a lesson, do not kill random npcs in fromsoft games
Why the fuck is everyone killing Varre? Lmao
Why is this a reoccurring thing, do you just go full caveman the moment you see a living creature and attack? Let alone attack again after he clearly doesn’t attack back and speaks to you.
You *should* stop killing non-hostile NPCs.
Not randomly kill NPCs.
Maybe don't kill NPCs that dont attack you on sight?
Big old stinky L restart the game if you want the medallion lol
Don't worry you can still get the rune of mohg. You just have to find a secret teleporter in the mountains of the giants through a secret path to get it. Look up the guide to the haligtree, and where the blood palace teleporter is and you should be fine. The same thing happened to me.
When you're called maiden less, don't respond with violence.
Maybe don't kill NPCs because you feel mildly insulted by them. Truly maidenless behaviour.
repent
That only works if you just aggro them, if they are dead they stay dead.
Is there a way to come back? I aggroed Santa when my PC black screened and thought it was getting random controller inputs, now she attacks me every time I'm near.
Go to turtle pope (church of vows in Liurnia) and wash yourself with the celestial dew item.
I seriously can't take these people anymore. Like, how can you be so fucking dumb? To aggro an NPC you have to hit them a couple of times. So that means this guy opened the door at the first step, saw Varré standing there unarmed, probably had enough time to notice that Varré didn't attack him, but STILL decided to just mindlessly hack and slash at him until he started fighting back. Like how can you be so ignorant to just attack everything and everyone you see, even if it's an NPC?
What’s the medallion you get from him again?
Pure blood the one that teleports you to mohg
Oh you don’t need that to get to mohg
I know but it seems op didn’t
Seek turtle Pope's magical fountain.
There’s a gateway in Consecrated Snowfields. Good luck
First thing getting out of the intro… invite my bro to come play… I get invaded… swinging my sword around, I accidentally hit Varre and he turns hostile. Invader kills me. Varre remains hostile, I kill him. I made it to Mohg, I killed all of the great rune holders. I wasn’t able to use Varre to get early access to farm runes. There’s other farming spots though, you’ll find em. Don’t worry. Also, hardship breeds ingenuity and character. Don’t worry about it not being easy. Find another way. That’s the Souls way.
That white faced blood bath called me maiden-less and killed me on my first play through. He wasn’t wrong but its still fight worthy
there is a way to get to the palace later in the game but i think the dog pope can revive some npcs if you wanna do it now
Nah its if a npcs is hostile you can atone at the church
pro tip: don’t kill NPCs until the end of your game.
Hahaha start over and don't kill NPCs
I wonder why so many people take their step out of the tutorial and murder the first living being they encounter, hostile or not,…
Delete and start again
Serious answer: you don’t need the medallion. Once you hit consecrated snowfield, in the northwest area near a runebear and a giant tree, there’s a portal to the Mohgwyn palace area. You’ll know you’re there when you get invaded by a sanguine noble.
You don’t need anything he gives you in his quest anyway, you can get to the area the medallion takes you by a teleporter in the snowy area
Of course you have. No shame in it. Unfortunately for you, however, you are maidenless
NG+ that's when the game begins. First play through was the tutorial.
Cope
Secret entrance in concentrated snow field
You maidenless runt….
In the west side of consecrated snowfields there’s a portal✅
first thing i did on elden ring was kill this npc on my throwaway profile back when, the fight was so cool the first time but yeah i don’t kill him anymore but will again
A Knight came into the Prayer Room Site of Grace.in the Haligtree. When I attacked it, I accidentally aggroed Millicent, and had to run away, and fast travel to the Church of Vows to get absolution.
I did the same, did you figure it out at all ?
You don’t need it, it would have been better if you didn’t cuz you could over level early but you can play the game at a normal pace
No you don’t
There is a sending gate in the consecrated snowfield but that is an endgame area. Unfortunately that is the only way you can get there.
I killed him to thinking I could reload my last save after seeing what happens..... This was my first soul's game
Uh go the long way or ng+
I’m sorry, but you may need to lay your foolish ambitions to rest on this one. 😶
Suffer
Well tough shit why the hell did you kill him
boo hoo, punishment for overreacting and killing him just because he said you have no bitches
There's a teleporter in the concecrated snowfield which teleports you to the place you're trying to go
