Melina

Melina is an NPC in Elden Ring who acts as a guide to the player throughout the game's narrative. She is a mysterious young lady seen in an opening cutscene with Torrent, the Spectral Steed, and first met at the beginning of the Tarnished's journey. Melina wears a black robe and approaches players while they are resting at different Sites of Grace. She offers guidance throughout the game, granting the ability to turn runes to strength, and teleporting you to certain key areas. She also later becomes available as an NPC Summon.

• Melina will reveal herself at different Sites of Grace along the game's storyline. The player is also able to converse with her via a "Talk to Melina" option when sitting at other Sites of Grace even when she does not automatically appear.

• Melina is first met after resting at GatefrontGrace Site of Grace, by Gatefront RuinsLandmark or another overland LimgraveRegion Site of Grace, after activating a certain number of them. Other potential Sites of Grace: Church of EllehGrace, Seaside RuinsGrace, and Agheel Lake SouthGrace.

• When activating a Site of Grace on the overland that is located outside of LimgraveRegion and Weeping PeninsulaRegion, resting upon one will trigger dialogue after which Melina will transport the player to the Roundtable HoldLandmark. The common Sites of Grace that trigger this are the Lake-Facing CliffsGrace in Liurnia of the LakesRegion, and Sellia Under-StairGrace or Smoldering ChurchGrace in CaelidRegion. These locations can be accessed relatively early if the player knows how to reach them. (Sellia Under-StairGrace can be reached the earliest, through a transporter trap chest in a basement cellar in Dragon-Burnt RuinsLandmark that brings the player to Sellia Crystal TunnelGrace, from which they can exit to find the Sellia Under-StairGrace Site of Grace).

• NPC Summon: Morgott, the Omen King. Progress in the Melina questline until she leaves. Her summon sign is at the top of the stairs on the right, in front of the fog gate. She wields the Blade of Calling and uses Erdtree/healing incantations.
