Loretta, Knight of the Haligtree

Loretta, Knight of the Haligtree is a Greater Foe Boss in Elden Ring. This proud knight was previously in service to the Carian royal family. This is an optional boss as players don't need to defeat her to advance in Elden Ring, though they do need to defeat her to reach Elphael, Brace of the HaligtreeDungeon and face Malenia, Blade of Miquella.

At some point, Loretta set out on a journey to find a safe haven for the Albinauric people, until she finally came across Miquella's HaligtreeDungeon. She is rumored to be an Albinauric herself. The blue glintstone of the war sickle she was given for being the personal guard of the Carian family has been replaced with the unalloyed gold often attributed to the young god Miquella.

The first time you meet Royal Knight Loretta, you'll have to come from the Haligtree Town PlazaGrace Site of Grace. Head southeast along the rooftops. After the roof with the Rotten Putrid Corpses, drop down to the lower level and head into the door in front of you. Turn east and head out across a wooden bridge, then double back northwest across another bridge to open the shortcut back to the Haligtree Town Site of Grace.

From the Haligtree TownGrace Site of Grace, head southeast to the elevator down to the 2nd lower level. Head across the wooden bridge, head around the gazebo, and cross the bridge to the northeast. Loretta is through the large gateway just past this bridge. [Map Link]
