Millicent Other Notes

• In combat, Millicent wields aunique version of theShamshirthathas the Waterfowl Danceskill, which is normally only found on the Hand of Malenia. Before she receives the prosthesis, she uses it in her left hand, never two-handing it or doing anything else that would involve her right arm, and she won't use its skill either.
• When fighting her as an invader in the swamp, it is recommended to useFlame, Cleanse Meor Preserving Bolusesto cleanse the Scarlet Rot.
• The name "Millicent" comes from the old Germanic nameAmalasuintha, composed of the words "Amal" which means "work" or "labor" and "Swinth", which means "strong". Alternatively, the French variation,Mélisande,means "brave strength". This fits directly back into Millicent's character, who despite being heavily afflicted with the Scarlet Rot and lacking an arm, is able to travel from Caelid all the way to the Haligtree almost on her own, requiring only some assistance from the player.
• The items dropped by Invader Millicent in the Swamp of Aeonia may be a reference to other aspects of her lore: The 5 sacramental buds represent Millicent and her 4 sisters, while the rune items she drops are the same as the percentage damage increase of the base Winged Sword Insignia; 3, 5, and 10.
