Dominula, Windmill Village Walkthrough
There is a small group of Celebrants at the start then a larger pack of them at the next flat spot. Most of them are generally not hostile but be prepared, because a group of them may change upon approach. They are brutal in packs so try to take them out slowly one by one or if you have slash weapons maybe 3 at a time. There is 1 Rotten Stray in the pack so be prepared for them. Be sure to check building tops for small paths leading to treasure. Clear these dancers to gain a chance to obtain their garments and equipment. Though Drop rate chances are slim, those attempting to farm in this location can note that the Festive Dancers wield the following equipment:
- Celebrant's Cleaver
- Celebrant's Sickle
- Celebrant's Rib-Rake
- Celebrant's Skull (they do not drop this)
- Blue Festive Hood
- Blue Festive Garb
- Festive Hood
- Festive Garb
- Festive Garb (Altered)
Guaranteed Celebrant's Skull
North of the Village is also a narrow walkable Cliffside. Follow this route to obtain the Celebrant's Skull. [Map Link] The Golden Seed can be found at a phantom tree southwest of Windmill Village Site of Grace (following the road). [Elden Ring Map Link]
Boss: Godskin Apostle
Follow the path to the top to fight the Godkin Apostle. After the enemy falls, you can obtain Godskin Peeler and Scouring Black Flame from him. [Map Link] Millicent can also be found around this location at some point during her questline. This is known to be her fourth location, and the Godskin Apostle must be defeated for her to appear. [Map Link] In this area, players may also choose to take a rest at the Windmill Heights Site of Grace.
Fire's Deadly Sin
After having seen the Flightless Bird Painting in Leyndell, Royal Capital, you can return and head south following the village houses along the cliffside. Just behind one of the houses you will find a seated spirit from whom you can obtain the spell, Fire's Deadly Sin. [Map Link]

AnonymousI wish too share this for anyone who might have seen this for yourself but if you stand still for a very long time especially near your site of grace you may find that the dancers are slowing moving ever closer too you as you wait. I fell asleep while at the grace and woke up hearing laughing and seeing that I was being surrounded by them. Im making more test on this as im writing this too see what else might happen. Added note this is on Xbox One so results may vary.

the map link of the golden seed seems wrong, this leads to another one in front of the barricades and catapults guarding the outer wall gate
Did my head hit the ceiling with the ambush attack when collecting a treasure at the front of a house? Why yes it did.

I don't think this will be news to anyone who has already killed the Godskin apostle at Dominula Windmill village, the windmill heights site of grace that becomes available after killing the Apostle is bugged, but if you walk slowly west from the site of grace you will get the prompt to "rest at site of grace"

Where do we find lore about this place ingame? I'm very interested.

Don't know his I missed it earlier, but here are clearer instructions for Celebrant's Skull location, if anyone else had issues following the wiki instructions: from Windmill Village site of grace, go directly north. You will see a windmill, go toward it and to the right, and there is a cliffside path. Follow that to the end to find the weapon. There's also an Arteria Leaf, because everyone wants more Atreria Leafs...

OK. I mean, I get the bit about the killing and subsequent skinning of the people. But no one has given me any indication as to what the dancing and laughing is all about. Which is arguably the most strange and intriguing bit about this place.

Windmill Heights grace point is bugged. After beating the boss I was able to see the Site of Grace, but couldn’t touch/activate it. Quit/reload fixed it without having to leave area.

Lore: the wimminfolk killed the menfolk, flensed them, and gave their skin to the boss you fight up at the top.

I find it strange nobody has mentioned that the dancing women have no skin. They were flayed and skinned.

To get Fire’s Deadly Sin, you need the bird painting from Royal Capitol.

This reminded me of robots acting like humans in Nier Automata. Comparably unsettling and creepy.

The Festive Dancer also drops both Festive Garb and altered version.

It seems all the men are in the pasture nearby and women are celebrating, also the spirit that begs not to skin it, pretty creepy.

The windmill areas are, basically, a nod to Midsommar. Everything is over the top creepy. Their faces, clothes, dancing, and laughing. Do yourself a solid... call in several JDAM strikes and maybe several cluster bombs with Willie Pete. By the gods, call in 10 more. Never going here again. Just, no. No.
Yeah, definitely Midsommar and The Ritual. Will never be able to forget them, nor this village. Where's my broken-arrow call when I needed it

Souls is always great at just throwing completely random off the wall nonsense in. The entire world is zombies trying to murder you but these weirdoes laugh for some reason.
Can you get their dance as an emote?

For farming the weapons here:
First three closest to grace
2x Cleaver, Smasher
Up stairs, pair on left
Cleaver, Rake
Up stairs, pair in front
2x Sickle
Up stairs, trio to right
2x Cleaver, Smasher
Up stairs, far pair
Rake, Smasher
2nd flight trio, with dog
2x Cleaver, Rake
After 2nd flight, sitting alone on left
Cleaver
3rd flight, on left
2x Cleaver
3rd flight, by garden
Cleaver, Smasher
Past Godskin Apostle grace
2x Cleaver, Smasher
Cleaver: No hood, no cape
Rake: No hood, cape
Smasher: Hood and cape
Sickle: Blue hood and cape
If you're trying to do a full clear, just do the big camp up the first flight of stairs repeatedly. You're going to get multiple cleavers no matter what but the other weapons are rarer, sickle seems the rarest.
Celebrandts skull is here too, at a narrow cliff north after the second windmill
The first two groups of women are non-hostile. Then you will come across a group of three women they will attack you once you are half-way past them and a dog will come out from side way. Be prepared. They are the only hostiles other than the boss on the top of mountain.

Most of the women here are non-hostile, though they'll attack if you engage other hostile enemies near them.
This place just has some bad vibes
