Melina is the hidden triplet confirmed

She's Marika's secret daughter and an Empyrean chosen by the Twinbird (notice the crow's foot on her eye, people seem to forget about this), Outer God of Death. As such, she is also The Gloam-Eyed Queen, as seen in the Frenzied Flame ending.
The Gloam-Eyed Queen, who was an Empyrean chosen by the Fingers, but probably also by the Twinbird, was killed by Marika and Maliketh long ago. Melina is her replacement.
The Twinbird wants to reinstate Destined Death in the world and get rid of The Golden Order, and return the world to the state it was before the Erdtree.

They are all the same aspects.

I don't get why they didn't just have her appear everytime you sat at a grace even if she didn't have dialogue
Like, it's the simplest possible thing you could do that might make her more endearing to players

Indie devs, please understand.

Her not appearing everytime I leveled up really bummed me out. I thought I was gonna get best of both worlds. Leveling at bonfires + level up lady

I'm saving these cute pics.

Dude this still confuses me

I always wondered why they couldnt have Melina have more appearances. As it is, I feel NOTHING for her. She's had maybe a few apperances. At least Ranni has a big-BIG storyline , multiple NPC's with their own plotlines that support her main plotline.

Melina just seems like the easiest thing they could have done is have her be your spiritual companion on the journey, to ask questions or stuff, but I guess that would kill the lonelyness vibe.

I would have liked to have Torrent appear at the site of graces, though.

Have different idle animations when you sit at grace. Kinda like how level up ladies did in the hubs before. One where Melinas sittin next to Torrent and etc. They make a big deal about getting a maiden but with how little I interact with mine I may as well still not have one.

Melina is Marika's schizo offshoot occupying the GEQ's soulless body

because she's not real, user. She can't hurt Morgott.

She was beating his ass when I summoned her.

hot

She actually can show up quite a bit at the graces but they either get locked out by progression or other bullshit. They're also entirely optional and even if you do catch them at the right time, most just don't notice the prompt at the bottom of the list when they just pop in and out of the grace for a refill.

Buuuut yeah... she really doesn't have much presence and her flat delivery of everything really doesn't help elevate her character.

Have torrent just be Melina in horse form

i want this

I don't understand why Sacred Tears level up the amount the flasks heal while Golden Seeds level up the amount of flask charges you get. Shouldn't you logically get more charges by filling the flask with more Sacred Tears?

Stop talking to dolls and take me to the fucking Erdtree. We had an accord.

They couldn't even make the female character have her own sitting pose at bonfires.

It would have been as simple as having her just be a companion at sites of grace, having her fade in, maybe humm a song, play an instrument, read a book, something in the background.

Something to make her sacrifice later more meaningful rather than 'Eh, ok.'

>pantyshots
And that's a good thing.

Shes wearing the longest skirt. I dont think that was an issue. Hell Fia is covered head to toe but we know how that went

Not at the cost of sitting like a fucking man. I didn't make a dyke.

You made a type b male, not a girl.

Spoken echoes of Queen Marika linger here, as well. Shall I share them with you?
>Yes
In Marika's own words. "Melina, thy sole purpose be to kill theeself, bear the duty proudly. By the way, Miquella hath found a way that the warriors of my Lord might confine the frenzied flame and save ye from kindling, but ye shalt not consider that."

Speaking of npcs without much presence; can you ever actually summon or fight alongside Millicent outside the fight with her sisters? I find her at all her different points with her taking about fighting together and wondering just when she actually intends to...

Her quest got scrapped unfortunately.

You can summon her at the Magma Wyrm guarding the way to Atlus and also at the Forbidden Lands before the Black Blade Kindred. Not sure where else.

She was super interesting to me. I was half expecting her to be an aspect of Malenia, and there to be some cool event that if you do her quest, you dont have to fight Malenia, or something.

just like the mimic waifu

>B-B-BUt my favorite SEAmonkey said she got BLACKED!!! Blacked sisters???.!!!

In a way, I can understand her rage there. She probably didn't have a purpose for the longest time, and made the decision to become kindling of her own free will. Even though it would result in death, it was a choice she made for herself to build the world she wanted, and by inheriting the Frenzied Flame to become kindling herself you have deprived her of the only decision in her life she made herself. So even if you purge the Frenzied Flame to save Melina and create a prosperous age, it's still an age made by stealing away her ability to choose.

You can summon her for Magma Wyrm Makar (along with Great-Horned Tragoth and Blackguard Big Boggart) and the Twinblade Black Blade Kindred in the Forbidden Lands before the Grand Lift of Rold. She will occasionally use Waterfowl Dance, in my experience.

Yeah, I'm sure the writers dont like the idea of you bypassing their magical story by abusing the world's mechanics.

Honestly, though, it's like a lot of GM's in DND. They dont like it when players bring in stuff like that. "Oh, no problem, I had saved this ancient panacea from 1 year ago, created by the God of healing who can dispel all diseases, curses, etc."
"You kept that?"
"yeah, it's been in my inventory for 2 years."
"......"

If a bint says she's gonna kill herself, the correct thing to do is not say "okay lmao".

Why are women like this?

Well, thats why communication is important. Don't be autistic like Tarnished, actually talk to people and ask questions. She'll understand eventually and discover a new purpose for herself (being my wife)

True, but it's a consequence of not being able to talk. Otherwise you could tell her "I want to inherit the Frenzied Flame so you don't have to die for my sake, I want you to live. Then we can break the curse and create the age we want to."

"But do think of me.
Of your teacher. On the eve of your crowning.
You will always be my darling pupil."
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Trying to understand a woman under normal conditions is complicated enough- trying to understand women in a magical fantasy post-apocalypse where everyone is immortal or undead and people are losing their minds?

I wouldnt even bother. Half the NPC's you meet are insane, become insane, lose hope and become insane, get killed, or decided to die on their own terms.

This story, like all Souls games, are very dark and depressing.

IT'S NOT FUCKING FAIR

Just reach in and rip out that primal glintstone again, and research how to create a new puppet body for her. I'm sure Ranni would know how given Pidia and Seluvis are her subjects.

Yeah, but then it would be an actual RPG, and FROM only wants to do hack and slash adventure games, not real RPG's with conversations and dialogues, lol.

Just have an NPC die saying 'Zanzibart...forgive me.' And you're done, bro. Vaati Vidya and every two cent youtuber will make videos making their own lore for years to come.
