Use this page when Fia moves from Roundtable comfort NPC into an ending-related route.
Primary sections
Start with your problem
Fia quest becomes confusing because it crosses Roundtable state changes, Ranni-related key items and a hidden late underground area.
Treat Fia as an ending route with dependencies. Track Roundtable triggers, handle the dagger state carefully, reach Deeproot Depths, bring the required death-related item and complete the dream boss branch for the ending reward.

Player problem
Fia quest becomes confusing because it crosses Roundtable state changes, Ranni-related key items and a hidden late underground area.
Treat Fia as an ending route with dependencies. Track Roundtable triggers, handle the dagger state carefully, reach Deeproot Depths, bring the required death-related item and complete the dream boss branch for the ending reward.
Track hub triggers
Fia starts in Roundtable Hold, but her quest is not only a hub dialogue chain.
- Record when she gives or asks for special items.
- Check D-related consequences before advancing.
- Do not ignore changed room states after major story progress.
- Treat hugs and blessing items as part of the route state.
Secure the key dependency
The later route needs a death-related key item chain.
- Check Ranni-adjacent progress before expecting the full Fia route.
- Do not enter late steps without knowing whether you have the required item.
- Separate ending prep from normal NPC curiosity.
- Backtrack only after checking current quest state.
Finish Deeproot branch
The quest resolves through Deeproot Depths and a dream-related boss route.
- Reach Deeproot Depths and clear the required encounter chain.
- Interact with Fia through the late dialogue state.
- Enter the dream branch when available.
- Record the ending reward state before final boss decisions.

FAQ
Common questions
Does Fia quest affect an ending?
Yes. It is tied to a Death-Prince ending route reward.
Why does Fia route need Ranni progress?
A key dependency intersects with the Ranni-related route, so the two quests should be tracked together.
