Miquella's Haligtree
Miquella's Haligtree is a massive endgame legacy dungeon accessed by breaking the seal at Ordina, Liturgical Town. Players start on high, narrow tree branches under heavy ranged bombardment before descending into the canopy settlement of Haligtree Town. Progressing through the town and defeating Loretta opens the path downwards into the fortified brace, Elphael.

The short version
What matters
- •The Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone found on the corpse before a statue guarded by a Leonine Misbegotten and Miranda Sprouts.
- •Pearldrake Talisman +2 located on the isolated platform off the Haligtree Town site of grace.
- •Viridian Amber Medallion +2 retrieved from the chest inside the chamber near the Haligtree Town Plaza rooftops.
- •Envoy's Greathorn obtainable as a drop from the Giant Oracle Envoys along the canopy boughs.
Common mistakes
- •Rushing through the canopy branches recklessly; precision jumping onto lower branches is required to bypass barriers and safely reach Haligtree Town.
- •Assuming the Envoy's Greathorn is gone if it does not drop immediately; Giant Oracle Envoys respawn, allowing unlimited farming attempts.

Haligtree Canopy Arrival and High Branches
When you use the waygate at Ordina, Liturgical Town, you arrive at the Haligtree Canopy and immediately activate the Haligtree Canopy site of grace. Then, carefully navigate downwards across narrow branches while fighting Oracle Envoys and giant ants. You can farm the respawning Giant Oracle Envoys positioned along these branches for a chance at the Envoy's Greathorn drop.
Tip: Giant Oracle Envoys respawn, allowing you to farm for their Envoy's Greathorn without fear of permanently missing it.
Watch out: Narrow branches make falling a constant hazard while under ranged fire from Oracle Envoys.

Branch Descents and Canopy Secrets
From the Haligtree Canopy grace, step forward onto the initial thick branch and gaze below at intersecting lower branches to jump or drop down carefully to bypass barriers. Following this descent path takes you past the Envoy Crown corpse as you work toward lower branches and platforms. Before leaving, navigate from the canopy branches down toward a platform where a Leonine Misbegotten and Miranda Sprouts guard a corpse before a statue, which holds an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone.
Tip: Dropping onto intersecting lower branches lets you safely bypass obstacles while claiming high-tier upgrades.

Haligtree Town Structures and Talisman
Climb down a ladder to reach the second site of grace, Haligtree Town, and set out to explore the elevated wooden structures. From this grace, head through the northwest doorway, climb the ladder, and jump across the gap to the southeast onto a detached platform. Slay the Misbegotten Warrior guarding the corpse on this platform to pick up the Pearldrake Talisman +2.
Tip: The Pearldrake Talisman +2 corpse will remain available until collected, so take your time clearing the Misbegotten Warrior.
Watch out: A mistimed leap across the southeastern gap will drop you into the abyss below the elevated structures.

Haligtree Town Plaza and Rooftops
Continue your exploration until you reach the third site of grace, Haligtree Town Plaza. Cross the rooftops and drop down through plazas populated by Rotten Crystallians, Misbegotten, and Scarlet Rot zombies. From the Plaza grace, head south across the roofs, drop southeast, turn around to jump into the building opening, and open the guarded chest to claim the Viridian Amber Medallion +2.
Watch out: Scarlet Rot zombies surround the chest holding the Viridian Amber Medallion +2, so clear them out before looting.
