Needle Knight Leda in Elden Ring can be found standing near the Cocoon of Empyrean inside the Mohgwyn Dynasty Mausoleum. Talk to her and.
Needle Knight Leda is the most important NPC in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC of Elden Ring. She commands the legion of Miquella’s faithful and is devoted to protecting her lord at all costs.
Even when the effect of the charm wears off and she gets to know the truth, Leda still decides to help Miquella obtain Godhood by eliminating any resistance in his path.
In this guide, we will help you locate Leda in Elden Ring and show you how can follow her across the Shadow Lands to complete her twisted yet entertaining quest.Meet Leda in the Mohgwyn Dynasty Mausoleum
Once you defeat Mohg, lord of blood, inside the Mohgwyn Dynasty Mausoleum, rest at the Cocoon of the Empyrean site of grace.
This will make Needle Knight Leda appear near Miquella’s Cocoon. Talk to Leda, and she will encourage you to touch the withered arm to be transported to the Shadow Lands.Read Leda’s Letters in Gravesite Plains
Once you start the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, you won’t meet Leda for quite some time. Progress through the game until you reach the Belurat tower Settlement in the northwest region of Gravesite Plains.
Once you kill the Divine Beast, Dancing Lion boss, go through the door to the east and use the elevator to go up. Open the door to the north and use the ladder to go further up. There you will find a dead end and a letter by Needle Knight Leda in Elden Ring. This letter is called the Shadow of Tower message, and it reads.
“The Gate of Divinity lies in the tower sealed by shadow. That is surely where Kind Miquella is headed. We are no Empyreans, but we must locate the path that will lead us there. I will follow the crosses east.”
This is a hint to go east to the next main dungeon, Castle Ensis. Once you reach Castle Ensis, progress through the area until you reach the Castle Ensis Cross site of grace.
This place can’t be missed if you decide to attempt Castle Ensis. Collect the second from near the cross. It reads.
“Kind Miquella seeks the tower sealed by shadow, and the Gate of Divinity found there. If we are to reach him, we must burn the tree that seals the path. And for that, we require a flame.”Summon Leda to Kill Rellana
This is an optional step, but we recommend completing it for the full experience of Leda’s quest in Elden Ring.
Go through the entire Castle Ensis until you reach its end. This is where you will face Rellana, Twin Moon Knight. Use Leda’s summon sign outside the boss door to summon her for the fight.
We have a detailed guide on how to defeat Rellana in Elden Ring. Once defeated, you can go through Castle Ensis to reach Scadu Altus, the area where you will meet Leda for the first time physically since entering the Shadow Lands.
