Miquella's Needle

[callmeBG]

Hello
I can't use Miquella's Needle. I watched a few yt videos about this item. I entered Placidusax and "use" is not possible to click even after the fight. So what I have to do?

You might just be screwed. I'm seeing people online saying it was bugged even 2 years ago. There might be something the game didn't flag up to that point.

And you have inherited the frenzied flame?

Then there's no way for you to activate the item yet, iirc.

So when I should use it?

When you inherit the Frenzied Flame. I mean, duh.

"Capable of subduing the flame of frenzy if inherited, allowing one to cheat fate and avoid becoming Lord of Frenzied Flame" - taken right from the item's description.

the only purpose of using it is to unlock all the other endings if you got the frenzied flame and got locked to this ending.

Miquella's Needle cleans you of frenzied flame. If you don't have frenzied flame in you then why should the game let you use it?

As soon as you had your audience with the three fingers and if you don't want to achieve the frenzied flame ending.

going frenzy flame into needle, is also the only way to save melina and still get a happy ending. its actually weird that there is no way to capitalize on that, like a melina ending
(or that none has been found yet)

i dont want to believe that nobody has gone save melina with frenzy flame into ranni ending yet (just mentioned it as ranni is the most obvious connection to melina)

If you want the Frenzied Ending don't use it at all. It's not needed for any of the actual endings unless you want out of the Frenzied Ending.

My random conspiracy theory is that Melina's tied to some outer god or another and the needle blocks her just like it does the Three Fingers. It's not just for the Flames after all, it was made for the God of Rot and it explicitly works on all of the outer gods. If Melina's connected to one of them, it makes sense that it'd block her from talking to you. It'd neatly explain why she isn't in the other endings, since the only way she could be alive is if you used the needle.

I think the common theory is her being somehow connected to Destined Death due to her eye being similar to Ranni's.
