Fia is an NPC in Elden Ring. Fia is a deathbed companion that you will find inside a small bedroom at the Roundtable Hold. Her embrace will give you a special consumable that can increase poise called the Baldachin's Blessing, at the cost of a debuff that slightly decreases your maximum HP. You can ostensibly come back for more if you happen to run out of this consumable. Fia's Questline Steps are highlighted below.
Greetings, great champion called by grace. I am Fia. Circumstances have compelled my stay at the Roundtable Hold.
Fia Location in Elden Ring
Fia can be found at the Roundtable Hold and later again after defeating Fia's Champions in Deeproot Depths.
- This NPC moves.
- This NPC can be fought and killed, but only in a later stage of her questline.
- If killed, drops:
Fia's Hood
Fia's Robe
- If killed, drops:
- Grants Baldachin's Blessing if you allow her to hold you. Decreases your max. HP by 5% for as long as you keep it in your inventory. After consuming it and its effect ending, you will regain your full HP.
- She grants you Baldachin's Blessing infinitely as long as you don't have one currently in your inventory.
Fia Questline: How to complete Fia's Quest
Note: The beginning of Fia’s questline is skipped after gaining access to Crumbling Farum Azula
- After starting the festival at Redmane Castle to fight Starscourge Radahn (by any means) you can return to Fia and embrace her to gain an additional line of dialogue during which she will hand you a Weathered Dagger. Talking to D, Hunter of the Dead in the Roundtable Hold will allow you to give the knife to him, triggering the next part of the quest.
- Speak with Rogier about his interest in the black knives. Speak to Fia too and she will hand you Knifeprint Clue revealing the location of a Black Knifeprint.
- Reloading the area after this part will trigger an event where you'll find Fia in a newly opened room near the blacksmith, after which she'll disappear.
- Head to the Across the Roots site of grace in Deeproot Depths and enter the boss arena to the north. After fighting Fia's Champions, you may find her sitting in the back of the arena. Upon talking to her, telling her that you want to be hugged will trigger the next step of her quest. She will ask you to bring her the Cursemark of Death, a key item found while going through Ranni's quest. If Fia is not there, and she has already killed D and disappeared from Roundtable Hold, you may need to follow a few extra steps to get her to appear. Go kill the Valiant Gargoyles and rest in the coffin in their boss fight arena (near the site of grace at the far end) to reach Deeproot Depths. Fia may appear after following the Coffin route to Deeproot Depths. Alternatively, the player can get access to the Deeproot Depths by revealing 2 illusory walls just south of the Frenzied Flame Proscription Site of Grace.
- Note that a big chunk of her questline can be skipped, if one so desires (main Quest spoilers ahead!):
Once the player progressed through the main events of the game up to the point of burning the Erdtree, Fia will relocate to the Deeproot Depths even if the player never interacted with her. This way, all of the steps mentioned above are skipped. [Elden Ring Map Link]- The arena is large. Run up to the way gate in the northeast of the area, which is currently disabled, to trigger the fight.
- You will then be allowed to summon your spirit ash
- Fia's Champions will spawn
- If the player chooses to use this method, they will still find D, Hunter of the Dead's corpse on the ground where he is normally found, but Fia will not stand above it and then vanish since she already left the Roundtable Hold.
- Note that a big chunk of her questline can be skipped, if one so desires (main Quest spoilers ahead!):
- Bringing back the Cursemark of Death will nearly end her quest. After you give it to her, she will give the player a Radiant Baldachin's Blessing. Exhaust her dialog and upon reloading the area, she'll be asleep. Inspecting her will let you enter the Deathbed Dream to fight Lichdragon Fortissax.
- Winning this fight will allow you to pick up the Mending Rune of the Death-Prince from Fia, which will in turn allow you to obtain an alternate ending.
- After acquiring the rune, you can give the Twinned armor set to D's brother (NPC sitting on the floor past the corridor to the southeast of the Valiant Gargoyle boss' grace site "Great Waterfall Basin"). Upon returning to Fia, you will find Fia's Set next to her, and if you reload the area, D's brother will leave behind the Twinned Set you gave him, as well as the Inseparable Sword. Killing D's brother will also get you the armor set and the sword.
- You can prevent this scene by killing D in his first location, getting his armor, and giving it to his brother early. After reloading the area he can be fought.

Dialogue in Elden Ring: Fia
Introduction
- Greetings, great champion called by grace. I am Fia.
Circumstances have compelled my stay at the Roundtable Hold.
Great champion, would you allow me to hold you, but briefly?
Perhaps you might share with me some of your lifely vigour, and your stout-heartedness.
Doing so will grant me the warmth of a champion. And you, I am sure, will bear a baldachin's blessing.
Do you think it vulgar, perhaps? Where I come from, it is a sacred act.
Letting her hold you
- "Ah, my thanks, great champion. You are...very warm..."
[Player obtains Baldachin's Blessing]
"What you felt light up inside you was a baldachin's blessing. Though it is but a fleeting thing, I am afraid.
Come back to me, should you require another. I will take you in my arms as often as you need".
Talk in secret
- I was known as a Deathbed Companion, where I come from. Afer I received the warmth and lifely vigour from a number o champions,
I lay with the remains of an exalted noble, to grant him another chance at life. To do so is the purpose of my being.
But before I could bear the noble into new life, I was awakened by the guidance of grace, and chased from my birthplace.
Pray, be kind. Despite all that, I still wish to be Deathbed Companion.
So please, let me hold you like this, as often as it takes.
About the Black Knifeprint (Do you know...?)
- My dear... Have you ever heard of black knifeprints? Dear Rogier likes to talk of it when abed.
The ancient plot, in which the first of the Demigods was slain. The black knifes wielded by the assassins who committed the act,
along with the impressions they made, somehow hide the truth of the conspiracy. These grand affairs are hardly my forté...
But dear Rogier began to weep as he spoke... - In truth I've heard tell from someone else, about the black knifeprints that fascinate dear Rogier so.
(receives: Knifeprint Clue)
But It wouldn't be right to give this to him, stuck as he is in the Roundtable Hold.
Perhaps you could make use of it?
About Rogier
- I heard that you lent a hand to dear Rogier. He seemed positively elated.
He must be possessed of great mental fortitude. It anchors his will, and sustains him, despite his grievous wounds.
You truly are a champion. To dear Rogier, and myself, too.
(receive: Sacrificial Twig x1)
- (May I ask a favor?) My dear? Might I ask something of you? Could you please find the owner of this dagger, and return it to them? [Receive Weathered Dagger] A certain person gave it to me as a gift. It's a very precious thing. It must have a special place in the owner's heart. So I would like for the owner to have it back, if you wouldn't mind.
- (Upon D's death) Finally, it is returned to its rightful place. The stolen hallowbrand, of the exalted noble. And now, I must bid you goodbye as well. Though I ask you deliver this message to the Roundtable Hold. I am Fia, Deathbed Companion. Hark, Roundtable. Disturb not the Death of Godwyn, the exalted. We, who humbly live in Death...Live in waiting, to one day welcome our Lord. What right does anyone have to object? Our Lord will rise. The Lord of the many, and the meek.
At Deeproot Depths after defeating her champions.
- "Ah...there you are.
I knew you would come.
What is it you intend?
To deny us, and our ways?
Like the dogmatic brutes of the Golden Order?" - (Answering her "That's Right")
"I see. Then you must kill me.
For I am the companion of Godwyn, Prince of Death.
I wished to be a mother to Those Who Live in Death.
So it is, that any loathing, any hatred that overshadows them...
I must bear, as a matter of duty, with my own flesh.
(You can talk to her again to get the chance to change your choice)
"Go on, kill me.
You deny us, do you not?
Because we deign to live in Death, and wish our Lord to rise to glory. - (Answering "No, I want to be held")
"You are an odd one.
I am the guardian of Those Who Live in Death.
They call me a foul and rotten witch.
Yet you still wish to be held by me?"
Proceeds to hug her. - Talk in Secret 1
"Have you ever seen a hallowbrand?
When the first of the demigods died, his flesh was marked with the half-wheel wound of the centipede.
Godwyn's hallowbrand has since been recovered at the Roundtable Hold.
But there is another hallowbrand out there somewhere.
And I must find it.
Before the time comes we receive our Lord." - Talk in Secret 2
"When Godwyn died, a hallowbrand scored his flesh.
But another exists. Another mark in the shape of the half-wheel wound of the centipede.
And I must find it.
Before the time comes we receive our Lord.
My hands will be dirtied once more by the deed.
Will you still let me hold you, even then?"
Gives you the choice to "Give Cursemark of Death". - §Give Cursemark of Death:
"This...is the other hallowbrand.
How did you...
Oh, my utmost thanks.
With this, Godwyn can take his rightful place as First of the Dead.
And claim a second, illustrious life.
You are my-- our true champion.
And though I can't be of any use to you...
Can I hold you tight, if only for a moment?"
Holds tighter.
Grants Radiant Baldachin's Blessing. - Talk in Secret 3
"I will soon lay with Godwyn.
And it will surely stir within me.
the new life of the golden prince, and first Dead of the demigods,
as the rune of Those Who Live in Death.
Please, do one thing for me.
Brandish this child, my rune, and take for yourself the throne.
Stay the persecution of Those Who Live in Death.
By becoming our Elden Lord." - Talk in Secret 4
"I will soon lay with Godwyn.
To conceive my child, the rune.
Brandish my rune, and take for yourself the throne.
Stay the persecution of Those Who Live in Death.
By becoming our Elden Lord." - §Talk in Secret 5 (Being held after reloading, before she sleeps)
"This is goodbye, my dear.
But I am satisfied.
I choose to lie with Godwyn of my own will. Not the remains of one chosen for me.
And I will bear a child.
Who will inherit your warmth, too.
What greater blessing could there be, but to be born a Deathbed Companion?"
When attacked
- Godwyn... Is that you, dear?
Upon defeat
- Will your kind never stop? Ravaging... the weak?
Elden Ring Fia Notes & Trivia
- Fia's name in earlier versions of the game was “Lady Yuliya.”
- You can find Lionel's desiccated corpse on a bed in Leyndell alongside Fia's dress
- Receiving Fia's embrace will result in a debuff that lowers 5% of total vitality but can be removed from using Baldachin's Blessing.
- Allowing Fia to grant her blessing will trigger an animation where she will embrace the Tarnished.
[Fia holding the Tarnished close when offering her blessing.] - Receiving Fia's embrace while playing online will result in the player's build being uploaded to the Elden Ring server to be used as one of the randomized Fia's Champions.

Theory: Fia died and became a ghost. She was driven from the home she haunted - her own. Lionel adopted her and probably died afterwards.

Maybe someone will find this usefull : I wanted to unlock the inner order gesture, but i already had the twinned set on me and interacting with D's brother only showed me the option to give him the armor, which i didn't wanted to do before completing Fia's questline, I got around it by storing the twinned set at a site of grace then talking to him again, triggering his normal dialogues and unlocking the gesture

Best diddly darn character in the game.

She's actually the only character who wants something better for this world. If to be more attentive to detail and not biased.
-Ranni will leave and plunge this world into an icy night for 1000 years, trying to restore this place to its original state, before the gods found this place, all who remain will die.
-Lord of the Flame is not the rebirth of the world as in DS, it is complete destruction.
-The other three endings are continuations of an existing curse, where the Dung Eater ending is additional diseases.
-The Death Rune ending is permanent death (not permanent undead as some think) where the tree will remain dead once and for all, which is the end of the curse/will of the gods, the undead will remain undead until their bodies are destroyed by time, the souls will have nowhere to return. And the new generation is the most ordinary mortal people, one life and eternal death, real life.

It is my firm belief that there is a discord server dedicated to patrolling this specific wiki article and downvote bombing any comments remotely critical of this character.

Just my POV about her: She doesn't want to make TWLID exist in our world, she wants them to die or get born again (but this is pretty much impossible as there's alot of them), evidenced by those lines: "I wished to be a mother to Those Who Live in Death." (rebirth them) and the description of the Mending Rune of the Death-Prince "The Golden Order was created by confining Destined Death. Thus, this new Order will be one of Death restored." Again, she wants death to return, she wants people to be allowed to die, as this causes more trouble than not (specially now that there's no Erdtree burial, with Godwyn is still alive and the Erdtree has to be burned in every ending). Her plan in theory can work and she's ATTEMPTING to do more than the Hunters of Dead (D and his brother - who only use it as an excuse to kill the weak). D runs away the moment a mariner (who are pathetically weak) shows up and the Beast Clergyman uses the deathroot like drugs, and not only it does nothing in the end but he himself (like the twins) don't care about the issue at all.

What are so worth about protecting “Those Who Live in Death”? Literally every one we meet wants to kill us, yet there is an ending dedicated to protecting them and making their existence a part of the laws of the Lands Between. The game doesn’t even give us like one undead character like Vamos in DARKSOULS where we could be like “oh they’re not all evil and trying to kill me”. Also, the category of “those who live in death” is wayyy to small. It’s literally just skeletons when they could have incorporated more spirits and maybe some of those zombies we fight in-game. Fia calls the lord who would protect them “A lord of the many and the meek”. There’s literally only just skeletons, no other creature, and they all are evil and want to kill you on sight. Not “many” and not “meek”. Just because the Golden Order is corrupted and bad in a lot of ways doesn’t mean that this alternative is naturally going to be a “good” one.

dude god damnit the wiki is way to simplified i didnt know that d's brother would ****ing kill fia????

How are players still favouring Ranni over Fia? If it wasn't for Ranni sacrificing Godwyn's soul so she (and only she) could escape the influence of The Greater Will we wouldn't have all of the problems that put Fia on her quest in the first place. In fact we wouldn't have half the problems the NPCs are dealing with. And she didn't kill Rogier, he was clumsy and got infected by death root (death root was also caused by Ranni's BS). He tells you this himself.
Fia also sympathises with the undead because they are suffering and cursed and D destroys them with all the zeal of a Nazi. Nothing Fia does is for herself but folk still seem to think D is some bro hero and Ranni is a waifu. They're both trash.
Fia reminds me a lot of Maiden Astraea in Demon Souls who became a demon to protect those suffering who god had turned their back on.

what if you give D's brother the set before meeting her, does he kill her before i get to her or i can complete the quest normally?

You see, Rogier.
The Lands Between hasn’t learned how to be multicultural yet.
They are now going into a multicultural mode and Those who live in Death will be resented because of our leading role. But without that leading role and without that transformation, The Lands Between will not survive.

The concept of the Deathbed Companion is a really interesting take on necromancy to me and Godwyn still has a lot of potential going forward, whether they focus on his past during the shattering, or lean more into the morbidity of the Prince of Death side. I don't know if they will use Godwyn anymore since it's arguably been wrapped up with a unique ending but I would like to see more of him the future. The lore in this game is fantastic honestly.

Didn't know about the "Farum Azula Skip" so I went through all the stupid 5 seconds unskippable "let me hold you" animations; and all for what? A boss that is remotely comparable to good dragon bosses like Kalameet, Sinh or Midir. At least D's brother expressed my anger with his words after he killed her, the only thing worth of the questline.

I think once you start Radahn festival by talking to Blaidd in siofra you can get dagger, which makes sense. You can easily do full eternal city and deeproot without even going to Altus plateu. Missing other D etc.

I have rested at no site of grace in the Atlas Plateu and have gotten the dagger off Fia. I have rested in the Subterean Inquisition Chamber which I bellieve is excempt. I'm rested at the grand lift of dectus but that is in Liurnia. I wanted to do Sellens questline completely including having her for a summons for the Red Lion so have jouryned to Azur to collect the commet via the Inquisition chamber, but once again not having rested in Atlus. I had wanted to do all this without starting the festival but it seems by starting Ranis questline I had started the festival early.

idk how i did it but D is alive and appearently killed Fia?. After I killed the dragon in the dream I gave the armor to his brother and then I wanted to get the armor but didnt want to walk back to the grace to reload the area. I returned to the main menu and pressed continue to see there are no items near where his brother was. Thought i had to go and reset by a grace. Gone and did that and still no items. I warped to the Prince of Deaths Throne grace to find D standing up with a bloody sword in his hand giving a monologue.

Umm, Fia dies upon reloading the area after killing the dragon even without D's brother killing her. You don't need to give him the armor to get her set, just to get his sword by fighting him where she died.

So, if I understand this correctly, it's possible to get the Twinned Armor set practically as soon as you reach the Hold just by speaking to people in the right order? Because that's a pretty damn good armor to get that early.
Just bcuz she gives u hugs doesn’t mean she will marry u. Quest is ass imo as well
