Lore

Elphael is home to the knights who serve Miquella and Malenia. Statues of the twin demigods stand in its courts. Malenia came here after her battle with Radahn and waited for her brother to return. Her Scarlet Rot spread from her into the roots and water around the city.

Defeat Loretta in Miquella's Haligtree and take the lift down to the bridge.
Cross the bridge and the outer wall to reach the Prayer Room.
Pass through the Elphael Inner Wall, past a giant tree root.
Wade through the rot-filled Drainage Channel to the lowest level.
Rest at the Haligtree Roots Site of Grace and enter the fog wall to face Malenia.
