What You Need to Know About Miquella’s Needle in Elden Ring

Miquella’s Needle in Elden Ring is a Consumable item you receive upon finishing the elaborate and complex Millicent’s questline. Having a particular use that’s not highly evident, many players find it challenging to figure out the purpose of this needle. 

The reason behind this ambiguity is that Miquella’s Needle is of no use to players who aren’t locked into the Lord of the Frenzied Flame ending. It is only beneficial to those who the Flame has imperiled. But how can it be used?
