FiaQuestline: How to complete Fia's Quest

Note: The beginning of Fia’s questline is skipped after gaining access to Crumbling Farum Azula

• After starting the festival at Redmane Castle to fightStarscourge Radahn (by any means) you can return to Fia and embrace her to gain an additional line of dialogue during which she will hand you a Weathered Dagger. Talking to D, Hunter of the Dead in the Roundtable Hold will allow you to give the knife to him, triggering the next part of the quest.
• Speak with Rogier about his interest in the black knives. Speak to Fia too and she will hand you Knifeprint Clue revealing the location of aBlack Knifeprint.
• Reloading the area after this part will trigger an event where you'llfind Fia in a newly opened room near the blacksmith, after which she'll disappear.
• Head to the Across the Rootssite of grace inDeeproot Depthsand enter the boss arena to the north. After fightingFia's Champions,you may find her sitting in the back of the arena.Upon talking to her, tellingher that you want to be hugged will trigger the next step of her quest. She will ask you to bring her the Cursemark of Death, a key item found while going through Ranni's quest.If Fia is not there, and she has already killed D and disappeared from Roundtable Hold, you may need to follow a few extra steps to get her to appear. Go kill the Valiant Gargoyles and rest in the coffin in their boss fight arena (near the site of grace at the far end) to reach Deeproot Depths. Fiamay appear after following the Coffin route to Deeproot Depths. Alternatively, the player can get access to the Deeproot Depths by revealing 2 illusory walls just south of the Frenzied Flame Proscription Site of Grace.
  
  • Note that a big chunk of her questline can be skipped, if one so desires(main Quest spoilers ahead!):
    Once the player progressed through the main events of the game up to the point of burning the Erdtree, Fia will relocate to the Deeproot Depthseven if the player never interacted with her. This way, all of the steps mentioned above are skipped. [Elden Ring Map Link]
    • The arena is large. Run up to the way gate in the northeast of the area, which is currently disabled, to trigger the fight.
    • You will then be allowed to summon your spirit ash
    • Fia's Champions will spawn
  • If the player chooses to use this method, they will still find D, Hunter of the Dead's corpse on the ground where he is normally found, but Fia will not stand above it and then vanish since she already left the Roundtable Hold.

• Bringing back the Cursemark of Death will nearly end her quest. After you give it to her, she will give the player a Radiant Baldachin's Blessing. Exhaust her dialog and upon reloading the area, she'll be asleep. Inspecting her will let you enter the Deathbed Dream to fight Lichdragon Fortissax.
• Winning this fight will allow you to pick up the Mending Rune of the Death-Princefrom Fia, which will in turn allow you to obtain an alternate ending.
• After acquiring the rune, you can give the Twinned armor set to D's brother (NPC sitting on the floor past the corridor to the southeast of theValiant Gargoyleboss' grace site "Great Waterfall Basin").Upon returning to Fia, you will findFia's Setnext to her, and if you reload the area, D's brother will leave behind the Twinned Setyou gave him, as well as the Inseparable Sword. Killing D's brother will also get you the armor set and the sword.
• You can prevent this scene by killing D in his first location, getting his armor, and giving it to his brother early. After reloading the area he can be fought.

Dialogue in Elden Ring: Fia

Introduction

• Greetings, great champion called by grace.I am Fia.
  Circ*mstances have compelled my stay at the Roundtable Hold.
  Great champion, would you allow me to hold you, but briefly?
  Perhaps you might share with me some of your lifely vigour, and your stout-heartedness.
  Doing so will grant me the warmth of a champion.And you, I am sure, will bear a baldachin's blessing.
  Do you think it vulgar, perhaps?Where I come from, it is a sacred act.

Letting her hold you

• "Ah, my thanks, great champion.You are...very warm..."
  [Player obtains Baldachin's Blessing]
  "What you felt light up inside you was a baldachin's blessing.Though it is but a fleeting thing, I am afraid.
  Come back to me, should you require another.I will take you in my arms as often as you need".

Talk in secret

• I was known as a Deathbed Companion, where I come from.Afer I received the warmth and lifely vigour from a number o champions,
  I lay with the remains of an exalted noble, to grant him another chance at life.To do so is the purpose of my being.
  But before I could bear the noble into new life,I was awakened by the guidance of grace, and chased from my birthplace.
  Pray, be kind.Despite all that, I still wish to be Deathbed Companion.
  So please, let me hold you like this, as often as it takes.

About the Black Knifeprint (Do you know...?)

• My dear... Have you ever heard of black knifeprints? Dear Rogier likes to talk of it when abed.
  The ancient plot, in which the first of the Demigods was slain.The black knifes wielded by the assassins who committed the act,
  along with the impressions they made, somehow hide the truth of the conspiracy.These grand affairs are hardly my forté...
  But dear Rogier began to weep as he spoke...
• In truth I've heard tell from someone else,about the black knifeprints that fascinate dear Rogier so.
  (receives: Knifeprint Clue)
  But It wouldn't be right to give this to him, stuck as he is in the Roundtable Hold.
  Perhaps you could make use of it?

About Rogier

• I heard that you lent a hand to dear Rogier. He seemed positively elated.
  He must be possessed of great mental fortitude. It anchors his will, and sustains him, despite his grievous wounds.
  You truly are a champion.To dear Rogier, and myself, too.
  (receive: Sacrificial Twig x1)

Other

• (May I ask a favor?) My dear? Might I ask something of you? Could you please find the owner of this dagger, and return it to them? [Receive Weathered Dagger] A certain person gave it to me as a gift. It's a very precious thing. It must have a special place in the owner's heart. So I would like for the owner to have it back, if you wouldn't mind.
• (Upon D's death) Finally, it is returned to its rightful place. The stolen hallowbrand, of the exalted noble. And now, I must bid you goodbye as well. Though I ask you deliver this message to the Roundtable Hold. I am Fia, Deathbed Companion. Hark, Roundtable. Disturb not the Death of Godwyn, the exalted. We, who humbly live in Death...Live in waiting, to one day welcome our Lord. What right does anyone have to object? Our Lord will rise. The Lord of the many, and the meek.

At Deeproot Depths after defeating her champions.

• "Ah...there you are.
  I knew you would come.
  What is it you intend?
  To deny us, and our ways?
  Like the dogmatic brutes of the Golden Order?"
• (Answering her "That's Right")
  "I see. Then you must kill me.
  For I am the companion of Godwyn, Prince of Death.
  I wished to be a mother to Those Who Live in Death.
  So it is, that any loathing, any hatred that overshadows them...
  I must bear, as a matter of duty, with my own flesh.
  (You can talk to her again to get the chance to change your choice)
  "Go on, kill me.
  You deny us, do you not?
  Because we deign to live in Death, and wish our Lord to rise to glory.
  
• (Answering "No, I want to be held")
  "You are an odd one.
  I am the guardian of Those Who Live in Death.
  They call me a foul and rotten witch.
  Yet you still wish to be held by me?"
  Proceeds to hug her.
• Talk in Secret 1
  "Have you ever seen a hallowbrand?
  When the first of the demigods died, his flesh was marked with the half-wheel wound of the centipede.
  Godwyn's hallowbrand has since been recovered at the Roundtable Hold.
  But there is another hallowbrand out there somewhere.
  And I must find it.
  Before the time comes we receive our Lord."
• Talk in Secret 2
  "When Godwyn died, a hallowbrand scored his flesh.
  But another exists. Another mark in the shape of the half-wheel wound of the centipede.
  And I must find it.
  Before the time comes we receive our Lord.
  My hands will be dirtied once more by the deed.
  Will you still let me hold you, even then?"
  Gives you the choice to "Give Cursemark of Death".
• ^§Give Cursemark of Death:
  "This...is the other hallowbrand.
  How did you...
  Oh, my utmost thanks.
  With this, Godwyn can take his rightful place as First of the Dead.
  And claim a second, illustrious life.
  You are my-- our true champion.
  And though I can't be of any use to you...
  Can I hold you tight, if only for a moment?"
  Holds tighter.
  Grants Radiant Baldachin's Blessing.
• Talk in Secret 3
  "I will soon lay with Godwyn.
  And it will surely stir within me.
  the new life of the golden prince, and first Dead of the demigods,
  as the rune of Those Who Live in Death.
  Please, do one thing for me.
  Brandish this child, my rune, and take for yourself the throne.
  Stay the persecution of Those Who Live in Death.
  By becoming our Elden Lord."
• Talk in Secret 4
  "I will soon lay with Godwyn.
  To conceive my child, the rune.
  Brandish my rune, and take for yourself the throne.
  Stay the persecution of Those Who Live in Death.
  By becoming our Elden Lord."
• ^§Talk in Secret 5 (Being held after reloading, before she sleeps)
  "This is goodbye, my dear.
  But I am satisfied.
  I choose to lie with Godwyn of my own will. Not the remains of one chosen for me.
  And I will bear a child.
  Who will inherit your warmth, too.
  What greater blessing could there be, but to be born a Deathbed Companion?"

When attacked

• Godwyn... Is that you, dear?

Upon defeat

• Will your kind never stop? Ravaging... the weak?
