What to Do with Miquella’s Needle in Elden Ring
Miquella’s Needle in the item you get upon completing Millicent’s questline in Elden Ring. This needle has a very specific use for players in Elden Ring that is not very apparent. To help you learn what to do with Miquella’s Needle in Elden Ring see our guide below.
Note: This needle is specifically for those locked into the Lord of Frenzied Flame ending. If you have not been exposed to the flame it has no use to you.
Where to Take Miquella’s Needle
Once you have Miquella’s Needle I recommend reading its description. The item has a very useful description on it that gives a very big hint as to what exactly the needle is for and where you need to take it:
One of the unalloyed gold needles that Miquella crafted to ward away the meddling of outer gods. Capable of subduing the flame of frenzy if inherited, allowing one to cheat fate and avoid becoming Lord of Frenzied Flame. However, the needle is yet unfinished and can only be used in the heart of the storm beyond time said to be found in Faram Azula.
Miquella’s Needle description
To get the needle working we need to take it to Faram Azula. This is a very late game area that you visit after the Fire Giant. When you are ready to activate the needle head to this location.
Go to the Dragonloard Placidusax’s Arena
To reach the area where you use Miquella’s Needle you need to find a hidden dragon boss. To do this go through the Faram Azula area until you reach the Beside the Great Bridge Site of Grace. From this location I will describe how to reach the hidden boss arena.
From the Beside the Great Bridge Site of Grace turn so you are heading east and get on the elevator. Ride it down then get off and turn to the right. Go down the stairs here and head past the enemy. Head southwest and leave the building.
On the outside of the building head west until you reach the cliff’s edge. Look down and you will see a path below you. Drop down onto the path. Follow the path along until you reach the piece of broken building floating in the sky.
When you reach the broken building there is a spot without a dragon skeleton in it (circled above). Stand on this spot and you will be prompted to lie down. Lie down and a custscene will play. After the cutscene you will be inside of the boss arena. Here you face off against Dragonlord Placidusax.
How to Use Miquella’s Needle
Once you are inside the arena you can use the Miquella’s Needle item. All you need to do is put the needle in your item hotbar. Equip the needle and use it. You will be asked if you are sure. If you have the Frenzied Flame on your character and want to remove it, use it now. You will remove the effect of the Frenzied Flame, but visually, your character remains charred.
That’s all you need to know about what to do with Miquella’s Needle in Elden Ring. This item allows players to basically reverse the decision they made which may have locked them out from getting other endings.

teleported out before resting at mark of grace so im locked out from going back and using the needle now…. the rest spot won’t work
You dont have to beat the boss, you can use the needle before getting in range
So, theoretically speaking, one can inherit the frenzied flame, burn the roots of the Erdtree themselves (thus saving Melina) and then removing the frenzied flame in order to get whichever other ending they want, right?
there is another use for it, there is a note you can collect from Cathedral of the foresaken, after defeating a boss there you go behind the treasure box wall and it will open for you automatically revealing another small area with a boss fight. eventually you want to go down that steep drop by landing on grave lids after defeating the frenzie attackers and you will fall through a floor into a new grace point called frenzied flame proscription – thats where the boss is and I have not fought him yet because I want to see what to do with the note and needle first.
That’s not a boss, Through the doors are the 3 fingers and they give you the frenzied flame
