Elden Ring NG+3 never noticed this weird Melina dialogue before... ???

[enman]

Here's the funny part: you can let her do her sacrifice, only to get the frenzied flame afterwards and get to that ending. So now you murdered everyone with no opposition.

[OHG_Fawx]

Melina: "That mf'ing tree is MINE to destroy, you hear me!"

[deadjoke]

*Melina talk about his choice
*Big hat Logan passes by
Tarnished: Sorry i didn't quite catch "the spoken echoes that linger here as well"

[lorenzovix]

talk to shabriri in the snowfield then rest to any site of grace

melatonin PLEAASSSSEE YOU DONT HAVE TO GO

Considering this was posted 1 year ago, it's surreal I found out about this today. This actually answers why Melina never showed herself anymore even if you did "save" her by taking the Frenzied Flame and using Miquella's needle to prevent the Lord of Frenzied Flame ending. It doesn't matter that you didn't burn everything just as she expected, she would not forgive you for taking away the purpose she spent most of her journey trying to find.

[dr.veronica]

She's telling you to ignore Shabriri's claims that you can "save" her by becoming Lord of Frenzied Flame because she doesn't want to be saved but rather wants to die on her own terms by accomplishing something she considers important. Basically, she says she won't let you speak ill of her goal because she considers you even considering becoming Lord of Frenzied Flame to be an insult to her and her goals.

the myth of "consensual" maiden sacrifice

tarnished: i consent
melina: i consent
shabriri: i don't

isn't there someone you forgot to ask?

[melchiordelaunay]

Melina : "don't chose chaos, don't be a nihilist, life has value"
Me an intellectual : "well I ain't gonna sacrifice you then, and I actually find a way to save you while not having to burn the world anyway"
Melina : *avoiding you because you made her suicidal/over dramatic project irrelevant*

[wachiratrivilad]

this remind me of GoW Ragnarok quote

"I do not regret saving your life...and never will. But the choice between life and death should have been yours to make, I should not have robbed you of that choice"

[XxSimon]

„Not even you“ Gideon comes instantly in my mind.

[MaidenlessScrub]

Melina: I must burn so the world I wish for can be realised

Tarnished: Watch me! *Proceeds to get the frenzied flame -> burn the Erdtree -> go to Caelid -> help a sick girl -> travel with said girl to the Haligtree -> help her kill her sisters -> get the reward for helping her -> kill Malenia -> use the previous reward on Malenia's corpse -> get unalloyed gold needle -> go to Farum Azula -> find Placidusax -> use the needle -> no more frenzied flame -> become Elden Lord -> propose to Melina instead of Ranni -> STONK*

[jaakarimiquel]

I'd love a spinoff where you play as Melina and fight your way to face the lord of frenzied flame

[MeanAndPristine]

The “flame of ambition” Morgott mocks you over isn’t yours, it’s Melina’s.

[georgebeard]

The last candidate to become elden lord tried to save his maiden and they had to scrap him. So this time around they're sending a maiden that doesnt need to be saved.

[tsemiu]

After Shabbir told me i could save her, she said that. She must of heard him.

[abdullahtopcu]

I Got this dialog in my first playthrough.

[Joseph-mwrl]

Well woman it's MY choice to embrace the ruinous powers, saving you is the unfortunate byproduct 💀

[codename]

Personal theory if you take the frenzy end you die and Shabiri takes over your body.

[hamsterdoom]

I don't mind if she hates me, so long as she's alive to hate me.
