While fighting your way through the Haligtree, you finally reach it's roots. In the corner of everything sits Malenia. This wouldn't be the first time that you meet her however... She takes notice of someone entering her abode, and she slowly reattaches her prosthetic right arm and puts on her helmet.

Heed my words, Tarnished... I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella. I have never known defeat. She slowly rises and readies her blade. Hmph. Do you never learn? Always coming back.
