Melenia is a terminally sick woman who was taught how to fight by a blind man. She’s also the hardest boss in Elden Ring.

Everyone in lands between:scarlet rot is uncurable
Random Merchant:i have the cure to the rot

[melopuss]

god of rot saw marika and radagon's ultra incest babies and went "that's neat"

[The_Starscourge]

For those that don't know, Miquella created the Haligtree as his curse was to be forever young, so he created it to grow into an adult and purge the Rot from his sister.

[FrigidARC]

“Scarlet rot is incurable!”
Flame cleanse me: *My power is beyond your understanding*

[LazyBird]

Malenia should have just eaten a few preserving boluses, skill issue on her part

[thatoneguywhocommented]

The saddest part about Melenia is that the scarlet rot devoured almost her entire body, losing her own eye sight, right arm and legs, worse part is she was never able to see Miquella’s face ever again

[enderkatze]

So, Marika boned herself as Radagon, and because the universe couldn't decide If that's Masturbation or Peak incest, the Kid got cursed with an infection

[warhad]

The God of rot? Blind swordsman? Man, that would be some great stuff to get in a DLC or expansion.

[brunovagnola]

Now rot! And so Miquella tried to cure his sister and Malenia swore to be his sword

[thorn.fieldnsta]

So is it safe to say the God of Rot needed a cursed child like Malenia ? She's often considered a full "Goddess of Rot" and it's God takes the form of a scorpion (don't remember wich item says that) and this animal is always connected to transformation (= her butterfly stage) and survival no matter what. I like the idea of Malenia being chosen by the Scorpion of Rot as it's new form, instead of "just" being cursed with rot. We saw that Radhan went mad when afflicted with it but weirdly, Malenia doesn't seems THAT insane and idk I might be wrong cause I'm not the best lore hunter but for me it feels like instead of her Two Fingers, Malenia had the God of Rot. PS: I can totally imagine her own Two Fingers completely rotted similar to Ranni's bloody Fingers or the one completely dead on top of a Divine Tower.

[KonRoge]

Also, the Outer God of Rot is likely a lord of invertebrates, as not only is its sacrificial dagger a ‘Scorpion’s stinger, ’ the Antspur Rapier also causes Rot buildup, and the Kindred resemble man-sized prawns.

Don’t forget the wings on Malenia’s penitent knights, which gives a vibe of ants serving a queen.

[erickchristensen]

And then her little brother who tried SO DAMN HARD to cure her...Ended up getting kidnapped and turned into some blood child for his uncle to marry and bring back a different outer god of blood. Which probably didn't work either considering we murder said uncle.
But now the DLC poses some new questions of the fate of dear Miquella

[marcusj]

First off, cool elden ring lore
Therefore, praise the message!

[Bbknuckles]

Wow finally someone who’s able to break things down in a way that’s not super confusing. Thanks 🤝

[TheMrBonzz]

God saw what Marika and Radagon were doing and were like hell nah, and curse their children so they don't self multiply more.

[lol_histicall]

The fact that even with a medieval looking cyborg outfit and blindness she can still fight like that is just insane truly the definition of a god if elden ring was real she would automatically be the greatest swords person to ever live besides the MC

[Ensorcelless]

Man, that blind swordsman was an absolute badass.

There are also the Sacramental Buds which are found throughout The Lands Between, may of which are in Caelid; like the whopping 15 you find around Church of the Plague.

Millicent also has the ability to invade you in the Scarlet Aeonia if you haven't met her yet. At this point in time she has two arms and when defeated drops 5 Sacramental Buds.

This implies that Millicent was born of the Sacramental Buds. This is strengthened by her words in the Prayer Room Grace:
"Again we meet. I can only surmise our purposes are aligned. In which case, allow me to explain myself. I am of Malenia's blood. But in what capacity I know not. I could be sister, daughter, or an offshoot... Whatever the case though, I am certain of a kinship between us."

Malenia produces these buds, so Millicent is exactly correct in her percieved relation to Malenia. One could even see her like a flower that has self-pollinated.

Gowry also continuously describes Millicent as a bud. Millicent's sisters are just other buds.

A big important part is for Millicent and her kin to be wounded in battle. This parallels "pruning" plants in real life, where you cut it to encourage new growth or even cloning the plant by planting the cuttings.

This is why Millicent invades you, she was just born and maddened by Rot with the sole purpose to be cut. After you give her the Unalloyed Gold Needle the Rot's progression has ceased killing her. This allows some of her memory and sanity to regain.

Upon reaching the point of deciding to kill Millicent or her sisters, Gowry asks that you help the sisters kill Millicent. The loss in battle coupled with your betrayal, along with the Unalloyed Needle still being within Millicent would allow her to survive the ordeal and turn into a Scarlet Valkyrie when Malenia ascends to godhood, or she will replace Malenia. If you instead help Millicent, Gowry laments about how Millicent removed the Needle and disowned the Kindred of Rot, supposedly as Malenia did.

This lore is so convoluted . But I love it
