Quick Links
Of the numerous NPC-driven quests available in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Elden Ring, few are so easy to fall into - and fewer still suffer so tragic a consequence - as Hyetta's story. Available early on, your adventure takes its first turn in the stormy lands of the Weeping Peninsula and ends deep below the earth where the darkest secrets of the Lands Between lie.
You'll be tasked with scouring all of Liurnia in search of Hyetta and the grotesque boons she asks of you. While, Hyetta's quest is necessary to achieve one of the many endings to your adventure, its horrific ending cost begs of you a moment to consider: what lengths are you willing to go to for the sake of an achievement?
Getting Started: Irina's Letter
Starting Hyetta's story requires initiating 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Irina's questline in the Weeping Peninsula. You'll need to travel southward and find the lady Irina standing beside the main road just after passing the heavily guarded bridge. Speak with her and acquire her letter. Afterward, you can choose either to deliver that letter to Cas𝓰tle Morne or ignore the quest entirely and venture bac♐k northward into Limgrave, storming the castle and defeating Godrick.
If you are attempting to earn the Lord of Blood's favor by killing Irina, you may still receive her letter, but if you have not already started Hyetta's quest by the time you kill Irina, you will automatically fail Hyetta's quest.
Meeting Hyetta: Lake-Facing Cliffs
To find Hyetta, the Tarnished will need to first clear 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Stormveil Castle and defeat 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Godrick the Grafted. Afterward, you'll want to venture past Godrick's throne, down into the rooms below. You'll eventually find a lone ghost who wishes to give his grapes to a nameless maiden. Speak with him to receive a Shabriri Grape. There are four in tota⛦l to find,🔥 and each are necessary to complete the questline.
Take this grape outside to the Lake-Facing Cliffs where you can rest at the Site of Grace. After you rest, Hyetta should be standing on the cliffside. Speak with her, and she will request that you give her a Shabriri Grape. Do so and exhaust her dialogue. You will receive the "As You Wish" emote as a reward. After you've left the area, Hyetta will do the same and move on to the next location.
have had issues and bugs with Hyetta spawning at the Lake-Facing Cliffs. Although previous patchnotes (1.04) have insisted that this has been fixed, the error does keep showing up occasionally according to several Reddit threads and in personal experience. This seems to sometimes be fixed by players who complete the whole of Castle Morne's questline first.
Additionally, if you are trying to start this quest later in your playthrough, but can't find Hyetta here, make sure you check whether you have the "As You Wish" emote as you may have already spoken to Hyetta and don't remember. If you have it, carry on to the next step.
Hyetta At The Petrified Church
Hyetta will move to the Petrified Church ruins on the far southern side closest to the shore. She'll be standing against the stone foundation at the bottom of the stairs and looking toward the swamp. Before speaking with her, you'll want to explore the part of the ruins patrolled by a number of guards and dogs on the northeastern side. Inside this portion of the ruins will be a wooden floorboard space that you can destroy. Doing so will reveal a secret passage into a cellar below where you can find the Two Finger Talisman and another Shabriri Grape.
Take your second Shabriri Grape to Hyetta, who will be ever so grateful for your assistance. Exhaust her dialogue, but don't follow after her just yet. There's a third grape to find.
Third Shabriri Grape: Killing Edgar
To get your third and final Shabriri Grape, you'll need to kill Irina's father, Edgar. While it is possible to kill Edgar before going to his spawn location at the Revenger's Shack in West Liurnia, taking that path is prone to several quest-breaking bugs. The most common bug when it comes to killing Edgar early is that the third Shabriri Grape doesn't drop with him (although sometimes fast traveling away and then returning can leave the Shabriri Grape where you killed him, this is not 100 percent effective).
To guarantee there are no issues with your questline, you'll want to complete the Castle Morne - including up until Edgar finds Irina's body, and you exhaust his dialogue. Travel to West Liurnia and find the Revenger's Shack. Here, Edgar will invade you. Defeat him to claim his weapon and receive your third Shabriri Grape.
Hyetta At Gate Town
Take the Shabriri Grape to Hyetta who is patiently waiting for you near the Gate Town Site of Grace. She should be due north against a rockface. Give her your quarry and then tell her the truth: inform her that the Shabriri Grapes are actually human eyes. She'll be disgusted, and you can hear her retching after you walk away. Return to the Gate Town Site of Grace, rest once, and return to Hyetta to exhaust her dialogue. She will inform you that she believes she is to become a Finger Maiden, and after this point, she will move onward to the next stage in her quest. However, you won't be following her just yet.
Fourth Grape: Vyke's Fingerprint Grape
The final grape for Hyetta's quest is very special. It requires the eyes of someone who has been previously touched by the Frenzied Flame. In order to acquire this grape, you'll need to find and defeat an invader by the name of Festering Fingerprint Vyke. He can be found in the Church of Inhibition in the northeastern region of Liurnia. Defeat him to acquire his Fingerprint Grape, a Furlcalling Finger Remedy, and his unique weapon, Vyke's War Spear. Nearby, you can also take the deceased Finger Maiden's clothing and even use her blood to fulfill Varre's quest.
Proceed with caution against Vyke as he is able to inflict Madness. A winning strategy here is to play aggressively, not giving him the time necessary to charge his attacks (which all have a very obvious wind-up). He does have one healing flask, so🅷 keeping close and expertly dodging his spear attacks will be necessary in keeping this fight as short and painless as possible.
Hyetta At Bellum Church
Travel to Bellum Church ꧃whꦦere Hyetta will be waiting inside next to a pillar.
If you travel to Bellum Church for the first time at night, you will need to contend with a Night's Cavalry in order to reach Hyetta.
She will ask of you a Fingerprint Grape, and you can give her the one you just took from Festering Fingerprint Vyke. She will respond in ecstasy, overcome with the sweetness of the tender "grape," and then she will request for you to follow her on her path to becoming a true Finger Maiden and devising the words of the people howling in her head. Once❀ you leave, she will depart to her fourth and final location.
This will be the point of no return. If you do not wish to be locked into an ending, 🦩you will want to stop here.
Secret Beneath Leyndell
To finish Hyetta's questline, you will need to venture into the complex sewers of the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Subterranean Shunning Grounds. This can be done before or after the Cardinal Sin, so there's no need to fear being locked from this questline as with so many others. Exploring down here is not an easy task, and it requires you to defeat 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mohg, the Omen. He's essentially a lesser version of Mohg, Lord of Blood, and he's not too much of a challenge. Once defeated, you'll see a chest waiting for you at an altar, but it holds a far more si🅘nister secret behind it.
After opening the chest, strike the altar behind it to reveal a secret passage. Entering this passage will give you access to the Cathedral of the Forsaken's larger area. Down here are the bodies of the merchants once afflicted with the Frenzied Flame. Be warned that there are one or two that will attack you, but you can ignore those playing or sitting on the sidelines as they are passive and will not seek to attack you.
Venture down the corridors to reach Elden Ring's most difficult boss: Platforming. Continuing will require you to complete a series of difficult jumps between stone platforms on the way down. Descending may take multiple tries, so it is not recommended to attempt this section if you're attached to your runes.
If you're skilled with using weapon arts, you may gimp some areas of this platforming puzzle by using Waterfowl Dance (Hand of Malenia) or Angel Wings (Winged Scythe).
Once down below, you'll find Hyetta standing nearby. She will tell you to divest yourself of all your clothes and venture into the door behind her. Do so, unequipping your armor (though you don't need to unequip your weapons), and interact with the door. Inside, you will meet with the Three Fingers.
After being burnt in the cutscene that plays, you may return to Hyetta and speak with her. She will ask you to bless her with the Flame. Doing so will allow Hyetta to interpret the words of the Three Fingers before being burnt alive on the spot. After she dies, you will be rewarded with a Frenzied Flame Seal and five Frenzy Flame Stones, thus e🧜nding Hyetta and her questline entirely. If you choose to return to this location afterward, Hyetta will be gone and replaced with a pile of smoldering𒐪 ashes.
Frenzied Flame Ending
Once Hyetta's quest is finished, you may continue to play through the rest of Elden Ring. Your consequence for undertaking this journey will be revealed after you speak with Melina and defeat final two bosses. Sitting at a Site of Grace after completing Hyetta's story will result in Melina abandoning you, stating that you are no longer fit for the role intended for you (additionally, she will speak to you a♏t the Frenzied Flame Proscription Site of Grace begging you not to inherit the flame).
You will no longer be able to commit the Cardinal Sin with Melina once you undertake this quest.
You will then need to march on to complete the remainder of the game. Only one option will be available to you at such a point, and you'll be given a cutscene where you become the Lord of Chaos and burn everything - the Erdtree, The Lands Between, and anything associated with them - to the ground. There will also be an additional scene where Melina vows to give you your De💜stined Death.
If you have already committed the Cardinal Sin before finishing Hyetta's quest, then there is no interaction with Melina before, after, or during the ending cutscene.
Undoing Hyetta's Questline
If you want to complete Hyetta's questline but don't want the Frenzied Flame Ending or have done so not intending the consequences, there is a method to undo the touch of the Frenzied Flame and relieve you of the forced ending. However, doing so is🌺 a monu♑mental and convoluted task that requires you to undertake some of the hardest challenges The Lands Between has to offer.
In order to do this, you will need to finish the entirety of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Millicent's questline and reach the conclusion that offers the perfected Miquella's Needle. This entire process includes:
- Completing an entire region of Caelid
- Defeating a lesser version of Castle Sol's boss in the Caelid fetid swamp
- Finding Millicent in several obscure locations
- Finding a rare item in another incredibly obscure location
- Defeating the Godskin Apostle in Atlus Plateau
-
Completing some of Latenna's questline
- Finding the Albinauric Village and Albus
- Defeating the Castle Sol boss
- Reaching the Consecrated Snowfields
- Finishing the Consecrated Snowfield Evergoal trial
- Exploring all of the Haligtree
- Defeating Loretta, Malenia, and the Sisters of Rot
Needless to say, undoing Hyetta's questline is a several-hour endeavor. In general, it is recommended to either stop with Hyetta's questline before reaching its conclusion, or undertaking it only after you have completed Millicent's and perfected the needle. However, your journey doesn't end there.
In order to use the needle, you must also travel to Crumbling Farum Azula where you will need to find 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragonlord Placidusax in his arena lost in time and defeat him. Afterward, you can only use the needle standing within this arena and nowhere else. Granted, you may try to use the needle while entering the arena, but it's not recommended to juggle using the needle while dodging Placidusax.
Once the needle is used, you will not be able to re-afflict yourself with the Frenzied Flame, as the Three Fingers will be missing from their sanctum if you return, and the needle will be consumed and removed from your invent𝓡o꧋ry.
