    Road to the forge of the giants

    说到老头环，最让我遗憾的就是没有一个关于梅林娜的好结局。
    明明金针就在我口袋里，明明有办法可以在不烧死她的前提下修复法环，但是游戏中却一点回旋的余地都没有。还是那句话，我想要救你是我的事，和你的意愿无关。

    Speak of Elden Ring, What annoys me the most is that there is no good ending about Melina.
    Even though Gold Needle was already in my pocket, even though there was a way to fix the Ring without sacrificing her.But there is no possibility of variation at all in the game.
    So..“my desire to save you is my business, and has nothing to do with your wishes.”

    "I won't allow anyone to speak ill of that. Not even you."
    "Well, we'll see about that, young lady..."

    I'd like to think that we would meet Melina again someday, but only if we were the Lord of Chaos when we burned the Erdtree and then, subsequently, used the gold needle to rid ourselves of that destiny. It would be interesting to see her reaction to not only being denied her purpose, but as well, the age of stars ending where we betroth Ranni.

    So... I want to try something: Apparently she leaves you after you rest on a grace AFTER being influenced by frenzied flame. SO: kill fire giant, do Millicent questline, gather Miquella needle, go talk to Frenzy Fingers, set the tree on fire, rush Farum aranzula without resting and remove the frenzy influence. If my theory is right, this would prevent Melina from leaving AND dying

    Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe that burning the erdtree is done from the bonfire grace menu at the giant's kiln. Meaning that, excluding any sequence breaking exploits, you HAVE to sit at a grace as the lord of chaos if you want to spare Melina.
