Frilian at Elden Ring

"No, no, I'm happy to be of help."

To be honest, Rodrigo was once disheartened, feeling utterly hopeless and without any future. After all, the experience of having her limbs reattached in Stoneville had left a deep psychological scar on her, causing her to become completely despondent.

Without Frilian's help, he would probably have continued to sink into despair and met with a terrible end.

So she was very fortunate, suddenly feeling that there was a glimmer of hope at the border, and she was extremely grateful that she could help with the spiritual adjustment at that moment.

"I'll need your help again later; I need an entire army of ashes."

The supply of lily of the valley in the cemetery is not as scarce as forging stones at the moment. It is not difficult to search for relatively basic level ones in the Ningmgford region. There is no shortage of all kinds of maze cemeteries in this world, and the nobles have already stockpiled some for use at any time.

"I am waiting."

Upon hearing this, Rodrigo nodded, beaming with joy.

As long as the faded ones come back often, that's fine. Only the figure of the silver-haired girl can bring a sense of security. In contrast, neither the mysterious and majestic Two Fingers nor the unfathomable Sir Hundred Wisdom can put one's mind at ease.

There's nothing to worry about regarding enhancements anymore; I've taken care of the remembrance rewards before leaving.

After a quick check, Frilian saved the fragments with memories, and now she can redeem different rewards for them. Just find Enya, she'll be happy to help.

It can be considered an experimental new MOD, and it turns out that the in-game operation is similar to an "option mechanism" where you click on everything.

It seems that you can redeem three rewards for just one game character.

In reality, choosing a reward will overwrite the save file, essentially adding another reward. Theoretically, multiple save files can exist simultaneously, but this can easily lead to errors, so it's generally best to save and use immediately, or at worst, complete the task in multiple playthroughs.

As long as you make good use of instant saves, you generally won't need to play through multiple times, unless it's a particularly bad ending, in which case you should seriously consider it.

After finishing everything, Frillian took a deep look at Two Fingers.

She sensed a hint of fear.

It's not that I've realized any principle, but rather that I'm worried about the unknown. This is a deterrent that needs to be carefully conveyed, regardless of whether you have any behind-the-scenes connections.

why?

Did you kill Grik three times? Are there three Griks? Even with two fingers, he was completely baffled and full of doubts, but he knew very well that asking would be pointless.

The mystery surrounding these newcomers goes far beyond what's shown; they defy many conventions and remain unfathomable.

I'm increasingly unable to understand Frilian's power. And thinking about it carefully, a lot of her magic has nothing to do with the mainstream of the borderlands, but it is related to some monsters in the future, such as the one that corrupted Greik's power.

We must not be careless, but apart from that, there's not much the two fingers of the round table hall can do.

He once did have some pawns, but now, having lost contact with his other colleagues and with the long-term desolation of the border region resulting in the loss of many pawns, he no longer has the ability to interfere.

Moreover, his intuition told him that if he tried to scheme against Frilian, she would definitely resort to the methods used to hunt down Twofinger.

As for the punishment of the supreme will?

Threatening such a person by saying "the supreme will once destroyed the Eternal City" would probably only elicit a response like "I want to laugh at you for saying that." Only a madman who fears neither heaven nor earth is unafraid, and is even more isolated than ancient civilizations.

Moreover, the raging fire hidden beneath the layers is definitely of a high rank, yet its true nature remains unknown.

Enya sighed and said, "I've exchanged all the memories for you, Frilian. I won't give you any more reminders. You just need to become stronger."

“I’m sure that as you demonstrate power beyond everything, those dark shadows will have nowhere to hide and will jump out in fear.”

"Don't worry, I'm getting along very well with the Round Table now."

She could see the apprehension in Shuangzhi's eyes.

The successful archiving experiment gave him more confidence, making him less afraid of any hidden traps. It was just a clandestine conspiracy, and he would eventually find out the source of the turmoil in the border region.

Now Frilian is more concerned about the rewards from Recollection. As expected of a demigod's reward, 20,000 runes are enough to enhance the main attribute once. After that, Melina can handle it.

I have obtained [Greek's King's Axe].

[The large axe used by Greg to set his limb]

A golden battle axe carved with the image of a wild beast.

This is the symbol of power of Govre, the ancestor of the Golden Clan and the first King of Elden.

[Quite the arrogance. I am the Golden King.]

The introduction didn't quite match his actual performance, suggesting he possessed the legacy but lacked real strength. She had seen the portrait and the opening introduction of the First King; he was indeed a warrior wielding a giant axe, exuding domineering power.

If one day he returns to the border region and has to fight them, that weapon, which combines sharpness and weight, should be even stronger.

Give it a try.

Frillie conjured a battle axe and swung it, but unfortunately, it felt too awkward to handle. Unless she was willing to transform into a large form with sufficient runes, it wouldn't be easy to use. A petite mage was fine; agile and easy to dodge, magic suited her best.

[Exclusive Combat Skill: Kneel Down]

[A combat technique that involves repeatedly stabbing the ground with the King's Axe, generating shockwaves and shaking the ground twice.]

[Re-activation can violently shake the ground once again.]

Did Greck use this move at the time? It ended too quickly for me to remember, or maybe he wasn't given time to use his combat skills? It feels like a demigod didn't have time to show off many things, which is a pity.

A powerful combat skill that deals area damage meets Frilian's requirements; you can never have too much large-scale damage, and having one combat skill means you have one means of dealing with it.

She didn't care about the other reward, because she had already performed well and it wasn't very good, but she still wanted to see it.

[Limb-Extending Flying Dragon] has been obtained.

[The dragon head attached to Grek's left arm]

Transform the residual power of the dragon into tangible items.

[After equipping this item, your arm will transform into a small dragon, and your fists will have sharp dragon teeth when you attack.]

[Cannot be held with both hands]

What materialized was a hand wearing a dragon head. It was not only bizarre, but also small, more like a boxing glove, making it look even more comical when Frilian swung it, and it wasn't powerful enough.

[Exclusive Combat Skill: Witness It Now]

[A combat technique that temporarily grants life to a small dragon, raises it high into the sky, and unleashes a wide barrage of dragonfire forward.]

Disappointing. As expected of the reward for the so-called weakest demigod, it has nothing to offer in terms of either mechanism or numerical value.

Chapter 77 Fiya's Pampering

That's it?

To be honest, even Frilian couldn't believe that the reward for a demigod's recollection was only this level.

Neither the [Leg-Breaking Wyvern] nor the [Greek's King Axe] is strong enough on its own, and their mechanics are too different from their own fighting styles, so they can't be considered helpful at all; they only have collectible value.

Was the arduous battle to defeat the Fragment King all for the sake of collecting them?

Her disappointed reaction made Granny Enya smile and say, "Greek is, after all, a junior member of the Golden Clan, with limited experience. Other demigods wouldn't act like this."

"However, it may have hidden dangers..."

"You mean that trace of death and corruption in the memory just now? If it's related to the Dead Ones, you might as well go ask Fia. Actually, you don't need to worry, the memory conversion material is absolutely safe, it can be regarded as a characteristic."

Frillie nodded. This level of danger was probably caused by Grek embracing the Abyss; it wasn't a big problem.

To put it another way, a demigod's weapon is at least not a toy; it's sufficient as a means to an end.

After all, Grek's King Axe is large enough and has decent impact, making it suitable as a dedicated weapon for assault situations, along with the Greatsword. It is probably even stronger in terms of execution damage, and in reality, many warriors also use great axes.

Of course, one's own opinion is not comprehensive enough. We should carefully read the players' comments, otherwise we might miss some usage tips.

For weapon-related information, you can also check the comments, which may be helpful:

[The most toy-filled episode]

Why is the performance so bad? It's clearly an insult to Xiao Ge, isn't it? This so-called "King Axe" is completely useless.

The limb-extending dragon was utterly hilarious; it turned into an adorable boxing glove in my hands, and it roared and breathed fire when I pressed it. It was quite amusing. Being cool is a lifelong thing, so I chose to refuse. Limb extensions are definitely a wicked path, utterly useless.

[It's recommended to exchange Recollections for Runes. They can still level up your Runes in the early stages after defeating Grek, which is perfect for starting capital for the next map.]

[You can get three items to exchange at once; I want to try collecting them all on my first playthrough.]

I think from a design perspective, they weren't planning to give the first demigod's reward weapon much strength; it was intentional. Anyway, you won't be able to use it, and the rune is still relatively more cost-effective.

Why not upgrade the regular weapons thoroughly?

[This King's Axe and the Flying Dragon are clearly traps, they don't even work on me. I destroyed them myself, they were useless.]

【really】

After completing Stoneville, don't rush to Lake Lienia. Explore the starting village to accumulate resources first, then head to the Corrupted Lake in Galid to get the Meteor Staff. This will make the early game much easier for mages.

Ultimately, the reward for Xiao Ge's recollection was too useless, just like him.

From a game perspective, it's not feasible to reward the first main story boss with a wheelchair weapon; you need to practice more.

[Ugh, this is so annoying! It looks like a toy!]

[Quickly show this to the guys at the checkpoint, let them have a good laugh!]

...Clearly, everyone's thoughts were similar to Frilian's judgment. The reward items from Grek's Recollections were insufficient, and they were already being looked down upon in the starting village. They would probably be even worse outside the Nymgford region and would easily be dragged down.

So she plans to store the two weapons away, since she won't miss them anyway.

After making preparations, the silver-haired girl made a move to leave. Enya, who was beside her, said goodbye: "See you later. I hope you can bring more Great Runes, or even all of them."

"Will do."

Two-Fingers' stance seems unconcerned about whether the fragments belong to the descendants of the Golden Clan, suggesting a broader perspective. But does this mean there has never been a conflict of interest between them and the Golden Dynasty?

Disagreements represent contradictions; have they not yet erupted, or have they actually erupted once? The answers to these questions remain unknown for the time being.

This trip has already satisfied Frilian. On the surface, the intelligence is still shrouded in mystery, but the general direction is very clear. It is certain that the route focused on gathering information is correct. On the contrary, the time to enter the royal city can be delayed.

She had a premonition that the magnificent and obscured wonders hidden on the Asian Plateau might not be conducive to the investigation.

Besides, even if we don't go, there are ways to subtly inquire.

Stepping out of the room where the two fingers were to be received, one could see many people fast asleep, drunk, while some servants were clearing the table, a scene of tranquility after the revelry.

Go to the next door.

A beautiful woman in a long black dress and black headscarf entered through the door. Even just sitting on the edge of the bed, she exuded allure, her charming smile captivating. A delicate fragrance filled the air, refreshing and delightful.

"Hello, Ms. Fia, my name is Frilian, I'm here to inquire about some information."
